Life of a Renaissance Gal
These past couple of weeks has been filled with ups and downs. I hope you are well. I’ve been adjusting to my new normal and never got around to writing anything here. I am settling in and hopefully will be blogging at least as much as normal, if not a bit more. I am working…
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…
Watching… Cheer. I kept hearing about this Netflix documentary about a competitive Cheer squad from Texas. I decided to check it out this weekend. I’m probably the exact opposite of someone that would be a cheerleader so it was kind of like watching a documentary about wild animals or something. It was a little stressful…
Watching… Frasier. I’ve been hesitant to dive into anything new and have instead been watching Frasier reruns on Cozi TV. I began watching on Netflix. When it was pulled from Netflix, I started watching on Prime; the next day it was pulled from Prime and is now only available through the CBS subscription – so…
Last week was a bit rough. I’m hoping the sun comes out for this one (literally and figuratively). Watching… Brittany Runs a Marathon. This Amazon original movie came recommended to me by several people. It’s perfect for this time of year. Brittany is unhealthy and unhappy with her life. She decides to make some major…
Watching… Don’t F**k with Cats. I heard about this documentary a couple of times on Armchair Expert and decided to check it out this weekend. It’s a pretty disturbing story about a guy that posts a video online of him killing a couple of kittens. The people of the internet then set out to find…
I did not intend to take such so much time off. I plan to do better this year! Watching… Living with Yourself. My TV watching lately has relied heavily on Netflix. This isn’t the most recent show I watched, but it is definitely the best I’ve watched in the last month (not including a recent…
Watching… The Letdown. This is one of several Australian TV shows that I’ve really enjoyed. I happened across the second season when looking through Netflix shows. The first episode was a bit of a dud but I really liked the rest. It’s the story of a woman that joins a new mom’s group after having…
Reading… Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men. I am currently in the middle of reading several books. This book is this month’s book club books and seeing as I am in charge of leading the discussion, the most pressing in my reading stack. It’s a fascinating, if not depressing, read. I…
Reading… More Than Enough: How One Family Cultivated A More Abundant Life Through A Year Of Practical Minimalism. I’ve been feeling called to and working up towards doing a (clothes) shopping ban for a while. This book has been the most inspiring thing I’ve read towards that end. The author’s philosophy is that “enough is…
