Long Weekend in the USA: Wishing you relaxation and peace.
What I watched: Keitel and I have been watching The PBS NewsHour, hosted by Judy Woodruff. It is impartial, sometimes you can see the pets of the various broadcasters sleeping or playing in the background, and often brings us to tears as they focus on the individuals who comprise the incomprehensible statistics of corona virus illnesses and deaths. I think their slogan should be: The PBS NewsHour, no shrill agenda-driven jerks allowed.
What I read: The Last Oracle series, books 1-6. This may verge to young adult, in the way of older Harry Potter (lots of 20-somethings), but it features a magical augury producing bookstore, a war against invaders from other dimensions, and faction infighting. Melissa McShane sucked me right in, and there will be nine books in total with book 7 coming in early June. A fluffy escapist series that gets better with each book.
What I listened to: I’ve been listening to solo stuff from folks from famous bands.
Earth by EOB, Ed O’Brien from Radiohead. Cloak of the Night with Laura Marling is transcendentally beautiful.
World’s Strongest Man, by Gaz Coombes, front man for Supergrass. Walk the Walk is a controlled rocker.
Night Swim, Open Season, by Josef Salvat, mostly solo, but also plays with Gryffin and Tourist. Another good hook of a chorus.
I’m listening to the new Fearless Flyers horn section! The band was amazing without horns but now, freaking amazing!
Good stuff, but I really like the coordination of coveralls.
One of the commenters said, “Men in Black meets Ghostbusters”
I’m listening to The Plot Thickens podcast from Turner Movie Classics. Season 1 – Peter Bogdanovich. Other than that I’ve been cleaning house.
We are yours in housecleaning solidarity. Just finished the dreaded refrigerator clean out. No clue how the shelves get messy underneath. Carry on! Also, I think you will like the EOB song.
I do, just what I need right now. 😊
I watched all six seasons of Cougar Town on Amazon. Am I proud? No. But it’s lighthearted and funny and that’s about all I can handle rn.
Same concept as what I read. Brain fluff for the win.
I started this last night. It’s got the girl that looks like Amy Adams but not Isla Fischer and that guy from American Pie. It’s actually pretty cute.
