So, I have made no progress on any of the books from last time that I said I was in the middle of reading. Which is vaguely hilarious. And I seem to be in a streak of reading all these self-help type books lately, which isn’t a bad thing, and may in fact have motivated […]
review
Restaurant – Kinship
When was the last time I wrote about a restaurant? I’ll give you and myself a moment to think and guess before you go into my tags and find the answer. The answer is not as bad as I had imagined, since I’ve actually written about two restaurants since the baby was born, but it’s […]
Movie – Bohemian Rhapsody
Remember how I said that the baby did terribly on the plane (and every other form of transportation), and so neither the Boy nor I had a chance to get much reading done? Well, the other thing I had been hoping to do on those long, long flights was to watch a movie or two. […]
Books – March 2019 Roundup
LOL. Remember how I hoped that Baby B would sleep well during my vacation so that I could get some reading done? Yeah. That didn’t really happen at all. Instead, she cried for much of the time when she should have been asleep, and during them time she was asleep, she insisted on being held. […]
Movie – Ready Player One
You know how there’s that saying, “Never meet your heroes”? I feel like there should be a correlary for the movie industry “never make a movie when you don’t respect the original property”. Saying that makes it sound like I didn’t like the movie version of Ready Player One, which is not entirely correct. There’s […]
TV – Succession (HBO)
I’m not entirely sure how Succession got onto our TV-watching list. Part of it was probably that it was advertised/immediately followed or preceded some other show the Boy and I watched on HBO. I think we saw the first ads and thought, “Huh – this reminds us of Billions,” and having enjoyed that show so […]
TV – Fleabag/Killing Eve
So, it feels like cheating to lump these two shows together. But if you give me half a second to explain, it makes sense, because despite their differences, there is a very strong connection. But first – what are these shows, and why should I care that you’re writing about them? Fleabag is the story […]
Movie – Solo: A Star Wars Story
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, it makes me sad that while I used to be so on top of seeing movies in the theaters, it hasn’t been the kind of thing I’m reasonably able to do anymore. Sure, I could call on my mom or other babysitters to come and watch baby […]
Books – January 2019 Roundup
So, remember how I was only cautiously optimistic last month about being able to read 48 books in 2019? Well, if January is any indication of how things will go (and really – it shouldn’t be), I am going to crush 2019. As in, potentially read more than 80 books. I will be a book […]
Movie – Ocean’s 8
Last month there was a weekend where E was out at a sleepover, and we just had H with us for the evening (Baby B doesn’t count, because she doesn’t do much except sleep after 7pm – most of the time). So because we had some freedom that evening, and wanted to do something fun […]
