I'm surprised I let myself go this long without reading The Sun Also Rises, but I think it resonated with me more at this age. My favorite Hemingway.

I've been on hiatus...but I want to try to catch up. I'm bummed I missed The Cutties this year, I'm on my way to scope that out. Some of my recent thoughts:
Fleabag (Amazon): The opening...
Jude Law makes this must see for me. Watching his pope control a one-on-one conversation is delightful. The character is a spiritual lovechild of Frank Underwood and Donald Trump, and Law...
Well, I was correct. I can't remember if it was my availability of the show or not, but I never made it past the first season before.
I'm 1.5 seasons in this time around and I am more certain I...
Fun read, thanks Mara! Some interesting choices, all respectable. Get on Transparent by next season, MC. That's the only glaring omission I can see.
Ben Mendelsohn FTW. Well deserved and I didn't think that show would make a blip on Emmy radar. I'm still bummed The Americans doesn't receive any attention.
I'm really going to miss this show, and I hope this isn't the last we see of this world. I think the show has significantly matured this series, and I'd like to see another one with an adult avatar....

Winter came. And so did I.
Or shall we do away with comedy/drama subgroups entirely and have ten nominees for the Best Series category? Maybe six nominees for Actor/Actress/Ensemble/etc? Might make the races more interesting...
Scrotal Recall S1
The Jinx
And should Transparent be comedy?
I thought it added another layer of explanation to her dynamic with Margaery. Wasn't necessary, but it explains in more detail why Cersei hated the young pretty Tyrell since day one.
Did you help write Mean Girls?
Me too. The most recent ep was a series best.
Agreed that this season is easily the best. Contained quite a few self-contained episodes while still contributing to a worthwhile grand arc.
Netflix

Harry's (better razors than DSC, but slightly more expensive at $8 for 4)
Used to do Birchbox Men, don't recommend it
Been looking at one of those fresh local fruit/vegetable...
Pinot Noir. Roseann Barr.
Sounds like something I'd like, but the packaging makes it so unappetizing. Cheese in tubes reminds me of the American abomination known as Easy Cheese. If I saw that in a store in Norway I'd...
Coincidentally enough, "What movie is the fictional band Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes from?" was a question at trivia night yesterday.
That similarly sums up my distaste for Marshall's Chicago.
Yes. You must. And I'm still waiting for you to watch Enlightened.
I'm so pleased this is more than just a showcase for Jeffrey Tambor's standout performance. Incredibly compelling, genuinely moving, and oddly addictive. I'm sure I'll finish this one soon.
Transparent is fantastic. Has anyone else seen this?
