Life of a Renaissance Gal
Watching… The Morning Show. I’m about halfway through this series and it is so good. I love anything that isn’t super black and white. This show seems to be based on the Matt Lauer scandal. It finds itself in the messy middle of workplaces, making you really ponder the line between predatory behavior and consensual…
Last week was rough. It was just one of those weeks where nothing seemed to go right. This week is going to be better! Watching… Travels with My Father. When I first started watching this, I thought it might be too uncomfortable and overall too much for me, but after a couple of episodes I…
How have you been? This year has been rough. I am so discouraged by the growing division and hatred that I see. So many things that shouldn’t be political have become so. I support the Black Lives Matter movement and have been thinking a lot about how I can learn and grow as a white…
Watching… A Confession. I think I originally saw a preview of this on Facebook and decided to get a trial of BritBox so I could watch. It’s pretty dark and centers around the death of two young women. There are also some pretty realistic scenes involving drug addiction. It could definitely be triggering. But it…
Watching… Military Wives. When I saw a preview of this movie on Facebook the other day, I was intrigued. I love Sharon Horgan, so I searched it out and found it for free on Hulu. It’s the story of a group of military wives that start up a choir while their spouses are deployed. It…
Watching… Dead to Me. It seems like forever since I watched the first season of this series. I had forgotten a lot of pieces of the story. I blew threw the second season and really enjoyed it. If you like dark comedies, you should definitely watch this one. It’s similar in tone to Barry. Reading……
Watching… Bosch. I binge-watched Season 6 over the weekend and it did not disappoint. It starts out with a terrorist plot that thankfully was not the main storyline of the season. I think that might have been a little too dark for me at the moment. It was a good season. I love that Maddie…
Watching… Yesterday. My book club opted to watch this movie instead of reading a book. It’s a fun movie – light-hearted with lots of good music. It’s not anything deep, but if you like the Beatles, you would likely enjoy it. Reading… Untamed. For a while it seemed like this book was everywhere I looked….
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…
