Life of a Renaissance Gal
I’m back! I did not intend to take so much time off. Things are just so weird lately and I’ve been trying to focus my efforts on t-shirt design. It just hasn’t left a lot of creative energy for anything else. Watching… Cobra Kai. I LOVED Karate Kid when I was a kid. I devoured…
Watching… My Life is Murder. This Australian mystery procedural is becoming a fast favorite. It stars Lucy Lawless and is in a similar vein as Castle and Instinct. Like those shows, it’s character-driven, with each episode revealing a bit more about the three main cast members. I’m also loving the setting of Melbourne, along with…
Watching… The Brokenwood Mysteries. I finished Doc Martin and have a few days left on my Acorn Subscription. I had not yet seen the last season of Brokenwood so I’m trying to get through it. They actually make good companion series. Doc Martin is not a mystery, but they both have that small-town setting with…
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…
I did not intend to take off last week. I’ve been stressed trying to finish my kitchen and prepare for the 80th birthday party I’m hosting on Saturday. I hope the kitchen is finished by then! Reading… The Flatshare. The reviews for this book are glowing, so my expectations were pretty high. It was okay…
Reading… Tell Me Three Things. I’ve been really tired after painting and have been opting to watch Downton instead of reading most nights. I have started this book and think I will enjoy it. I just need to get into it enough that I’ll choose it over Downton. Watching… Downton Abbey. In preparation for the…
Reading… Digital Minimalism. Paula Pant interviewed Cal Newport for the Afford Anything podcast. I was excited to see that his book was available on Scribd and have been devouring it. I have been contemplating my smart phone and digital consumption ever since. He recommends taking a digital media break for approximately one month; I’ve been…
Reading… Less. I did the audiobook of this one. I’m not sure I would have made it through if I’d done the actually book. There were parts I liked and parts I found boring. Ultimately, I ended up liking it enough that I gave it 4 out of 5 stars on my book list. Watching……
Watching… Forever. I was really looking forward to this Prime show with Maya Rudolph & Fred Armisen. I didn’t know much more than that when I began watching it; I’m glad I didn’t do any more research. You don’t really know the premise until the third episode. It’s a mysterious, quirky, thought-provoking show. Reading… The…
I can’t believe there are only four months left in 2018! Did you have a good August? I missed writing these posts during August Break. Watching… The Letdown. I enjoyed Offspring and 800 Words so much that I sought out another Australian series to watch. I liked this one – maybe not quite as much…
