Reading/ Watching/ Listening
Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
A better question about The Life Aquatic is why you keep trying to watch it if it's bad. Or are you giving up good movies for Lent?
ReplyDeleteI've tried to watch it several times, too. Just can't manage to do it.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Texas Monthly has gone downhill? Is it worth a subscription?
ReplyDeleteI don't really think TX Monthly is worth it. I remember when my parents would fight over who got to read it first. Now, not so much. Also, I feel like it's San Antonio-heavy. I just bought this issue because it was "Texas Style" and I'm shallow like that.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading the "Texanist." Sarah Bird is good. But I'm way tired of old dudes like Jap Cartwright. Did you know that the editor is a vegetarian Yankee? Shocking.
ReplyDeleteThis affirms my lifelong belief that Texans are indeed AWESOME!! Seriously, it's is still one of the most uniquely distinct cultures on the American landscape.
ReplyDelete(You know, I have family from Texas...Tyler and Galveston, my Dad is from there and that's where my half-sister grew up.)
Peace & Love from Crazy California!!!
Tyler & Galveston= good peeps, RR. Is that why you were named "Rose?"
ReplyDeleteTry watching Life Aquatic like you are sitting in front of a moving painting for a couple of hours. Ha! I did manage to get through it and loved the art direction but I thought it was kinda silly. And, I am just not a fan of Bill Murray's acting - he should shtick to comedy.
