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… 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… The Year of Less. I bought this book when it came out but hadn’t read it. I was wanting some minimalism inspiration and decided to finally get to this. It was a good book. I’ve read Cait’s blog for years, so there wasn’t a lot that was new to me. If you are looking…
Watching… Evil. I wasn’t planning to watch this show until I read an article with critic’s lists of the best of the new season and this show was on several lists. They all said that it wasn’t a show they wanted to watch before bed so I took that warning with the first episode which…
Watching… Mixed-ish. I’m not a regular Black-ish watcher but I have been enjoying this spin-off. I love that it’s set at the same time I was growing up and that it has a different spin than most comedies. Even if you don’t watch Black-ish, I recommend giving this one a try. Bonus, you get to…
Watching… Luther. I was so excited when I learned they were bringing Luther back for a surprise season. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as well as I’d hoped. I think it may have been better left alone. But it also possible that it’s been so long since I saw the first four seasons, that…
Reading… The Huntress. I really enjoyed the author’s previous book, The Alice Network, and was looking forward to her latest work. Both books are a good combination of stories of WWII strong women. I’m about a quarter of the way into this and have been enjoying it so far. It also has the element of…
