thistlechaserThe last of the miniseries is on tonight, and I'm so tempted to stay up and watch it, but instead I have to be good and record it and watch it some other time. I can't believe this is just a miniseries! It's ending way too soon. I hope HBO does another history-based one again.
An interesting thing I learned from one of the earlier parts: The White House was built by slaves. I guess that makes sense, but I had never really thought about it before. One of the "characters", either John Adams or his wife (what an amazingly interesting woman!) had the best line. "How could something good come out of a place built by half-starved slaves?" I couldn't find the exact wording of the quote, but that's the general idea. It really made me think.
While googling to try to get the exact wording of that quote, I found something exciting! Eee! NPR did a 40 minute story on the series and it's online to listen to! Eee! I need to check that out at work tomorrow. :D
I can't wait until it's available for sale/rent and more people watch it. I want to hear what everyone thinks! Amazon says the DVD is due June 10th and the soundtrack is out on this Tuesday. Eee! :D
