American Girl
Oct. 18th, 2016 02:39 pmI hadn't thought about American Girl for a long time, having more or less moved on to other interests/obsessions. But I still have my dolls, and Judith has got to the stage where she's ready to be hooked.
So, taking Kit down from the shelf to give to her (Kit used to be Benedict's but he asked that I give her to Judith when I considered she'd be most appreciative) we decided to watch the Kit film. I used to have all the books of all the historicals (up to Rebecca) but there have been some releases since Rebecca and I can't now find any of the books except Rebecca and one of Josefina's. I should acquire new copies maybe.
Anyway, watching the Kit film allowed us to talk about the Great Depression and the New Deal and the Chicago World Fair, and the World Fair we're going to next year, and flu, and innoculations, and casual sexism.
Life stuff: I didn't read anything all day because I put my book down somewhere and now don't remember where. Andreas and I played Colt Express, which is a game where you play train robbers and have to get the most loot. He likes it mostly for the mechanic, which is programme your move then move, and it's quite physically satisfying with bandit meeples and a cardboard 3d train instead of a board. We ate coca-cola chicken wings (http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/537286/coca-cola-chicken-wings) with rice, carrots and baby corn; Judith in particular was enthusiastic.
