Watching…
Derry Girls. I finished up The Circle and started Derry Girls this weekend. I’m loving it. It’s a dark comedy set in Northern Ireland during the 90’s. The soundtrack is great – lots of songs I haven’t heard in years. I recommend watching with the captioning turned on. It’s difficult to catch what they are saying; sometimes, I still don’t understand even though I read the caption. I’m not very up on Irish slang.
Reading…
Ask Again, Yes. I’m about a quarter of the way into this book, also set in the 90’s (or at least the part I’m at is). I’m not sure I’ve read enough to really know what it’s about. It seems to be a family drama. I suspect that it’s going to span decades and because of that reminds me a bit of The Most Fun We Ever Had.
Listening to…
The Baron of Botox. Happier in Hollywood had a short introduction to this podcast, it intrigued me. It’s the story of Dr. Fredric Brandt, a plastic surgeon to the stars that become addicted to his own product and ultimately took his own life. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to a podcast devoted to telling one story. I’m looking forward to diving into this one.
Using…
LED pens. I saw these recommended somewhere and new they would be perfect for the times I wake up in the night and can’t go back to sleep. Sometimes, getting things down on paper helps me stop ruminating and return to sleep. These pens let me do that without turning on the lights. I got the red ones since the light is less obtrusive and doesn’t disturb night vision.
Wanting…
a new bathroom light. I have been on a roll painting and replacing light fixtures. All of the downstairs lights have been updated. I’m amazed by how much of a difference that makes. Next up, I’m thinking about painting the upstairs bathroom and definitely want to change out the light fixture. I’m thinking about something like this or this.
