Life of a Renaissance Gal
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…
Reading… Don’t Go There. I love a good travel memoir, so I was excited when my book club decided to read this one. I’m about three quarters through it and was surprised to see that I’ve been to two of the places he writes about: Istanbul and Jerusalem. While we did see some protestors in…
Did you have a nice weekend? I think mine was the perfect combination of relaxation and productivity. I updated some blog posts and am working on some things to hopefully get going on blogging more often than I have been. I also did some work on a pattern I’ve been working on and plan to…
