So my neighbour sent her food delivery to my apartment again which is so inconsiderate honestly. She won't tell them ONE WORD so they go to the right building instead of to my house.
The delivery guy was wearing a mask but I wasn't because I wasn't expecting anyone.

Because I was sitting in the absolutely pitch dark.

BECAUSE OUR BUILDINGS DIDN'T HAVE POWER.
So she made this dude walk up both our stairs IN THE PITCH DARK because our buildings are far back from the street and the streetlights don't reach and the building lights were obviously out AND COULDN'T EVEN GIVE HIM THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS
I put a mask next to the door because I realized it would be a good idea, but still. This poor guy had to walk up the stairs in the dark and probably thought he was about to be murdered or something when I'm sitting there with 2 candles and a tablet.
Also maybe I'm over-reacting a bit but our power was out because the transistor was sparking? Whatever that means?

And I just. Would not have invited someone into a situation like this because god forbid he got hurt.

This one should be fairly short and I've got a few minutes to kill, so how about a quick bonus #LainaWatchesAnne thread?

This one is about the mini-series' fashion choices, which is always super fun.
#LainaWatchesAnne I have previously talked about the fashion and the timeline of the book in other threads and I will update the masterpost on my blog with those after this XD lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/anne-of-green-…
#LainaWatchesAnne But to sum up, because of the date of John A. MacDonald's death, and me inferring that he's the Premier Marilla goes to see speak as Montgomery actually met him, I think Anne comes to Green Gables between 1889 and 1891.

Okay, so I have been slightly encouraged so I think we'll do our #LainaWatchesAnne thread today. Reminder that I use that hashtag in every tweet so you can mute it if you don't want to read my tweets today. Obviously there's KIND OF A LOT going on today.
#LainaWatchesAnne But today we're actually going to hit the end of the mini-series!

Anne's home!

She and Diana continue to look like a queer cottagecore tumblr moodboard while taking a walk.
#LainaWatchesAnne Diana tells Anne that Gilbert will be getting the Avonlea school as his father can't afford to send him to college. He plans to earn his way through college teaching. Good for you, Gil.

Okay! I think it's FINALLY time to get back into this!

So, remember last year when I started my project to read and analyze LM Montgomery's catalogue and the adaptations based on those works but then I had a hard summer and then the holidays happened and then I broke my spine?
Probably you don't!

So if you need to catch up, you can find my masterlist of posts here where I've posted them from Twitter lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/anne-of-green-…
The Anne of Green Gables recaps start here lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/2019/02/02/ann…

I also suggest checking out the post where I talk specifically about fashion in Anne lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/2019/09/14/lai…

And we previously discussed the 1934 Anne of Green Gables movie https://t.co/xgAPJkYfSK

Are y'all ready for a different sort of #LainaReadsAnne thread? Today we're going to be trying to figure out the time period that Anne of Green Gables is set in and talking about the fashion of that time.
#LainaReadsAnne This is going to be a multi-part thread with a lot of images. Seriously, I have like 10 pages of notes and a LOT of pictures bookmarked.

So I'm gonna ask y'all to be patient with the speed on this one, okay?
#LainaReadsAnne Let's start with what we know about the time period of Anne of Green Gables. (Not any of the sequels - in this thread, I will be treating AOGG as a standalone work.)

First, Montgomery wrote it in 1906 so it can't be any later than that.

Alright, it's time for our fourth and final thread on the 1934 Anne of Green Gable movie. Y'all ready? #LainaWatchesAnne
#LainaWatchesAnne So when last we left Anne, she'd almost drowned and then decided to forgive Gilbert Blythe because he saved her life and the movie basically forgot the book existed. We also learned a year had passed since the hayride. The time passage was SUPER clear.
#LainaWatchesAnne By the way, we're a bit over an hour into the movie, which is an hour and eighteen minutes long. Are you... sensing a problem here?

Ready for our third 1934 #LainaWatchesAnne thread? Today's gonna be a doozy.
#LainaWatchesAnne The day after the slate smashing, Anne is churning butter outside by the tree bench where Diana is sitting and making I think a beaded necklace or bracelet. It's a bit hard to see.
#LainaWatchesAnne Diana says she should have told Anne that Marilla didn't like Gilbert and that it's not his fault.

Brace yourself for this one because I don't think you're ready for it.
