Saturday round-up

[finefoxyladies]

1) I started reading a book! Can you believe it? I'm 30 pages in, though, so... let's see how this goes.

2) Here are two musical sequences that have bewitched me recently that I watch on YouTube at least once every other day:

Watch on YouTube

Watch on YouTube

 

3) Comedies I've been watching lately: Corporate on The 'Mount, Loot and The Afterparty on Appledy, Housebroken on Hu-lu, and, of course, the new season of WWDitS.

4) Drama-adjacents I've been watching lately: the new season of Reservation Dogs, the Tennant era of Doctor Who.

5) Prepare ye:
a) Stede's new look is Errol Flynn inspired, right? Do I have to watch Captain Blood to be sure?
b) Oh, that neckerchief... well-played, David Jenkins and Crew. I knew they'd bring the red silk back.
I imagine I know where he gets that neckerchief and says good-bye to his two chandeliers (that's overkill!)
[clears throat] A-woooooooooga. Dear TV Gods, thank you for the apartheid movie Rhys and Minnie Driver shot together for making this happen.

a) Loving Jackie's sequined bolero jacket and new hairdo.
b) The look of love always looks so appealing on Taika's face.

The only books I can manage anymore lately seems to be cookbooks. I blame Xitter and its ilk.

[finefoxyladies]

I think that's fair, that along with our pocket computers. I remember a time I used to read for hours and hours. And now I have a persistent 10 min thought of "What's happening on my phone?!"

[kirbyfest]

Ah, so there are the boobs you mentioned. Mm hm.

I read an ENTIRE Stephen King book this summer and someone should give me a prize.

[finefoxyladies]

Ooh which one? I read Revival at some point this year. I CAN read. It's just hard for me to get started.

"Fairy Tale"

Unsurprisingly I liked the present day stuff much more than the fairy tale portion, but enjoyed it overall. But he continues to create characters that are so interesting and well-drawn, and you care about them.

[finefoxyladies]

Currently sitting on my side table in the LR unread.ill have to prioritize it.

[dollsome]

Oh my gosh. I didn’t even catch the red kerchief!! Do you think that’s the selfsame “You wear fine things well” fabric???? 🥺🥺🥺

[finefoxyladies]

Ooh look at that! People still make icons! And I need some of 'em for sure.

My working theory is that Stede discovers the red silk whilst at Anne Bonny's shop, which seems to be full of things tossed from the Revenge. But, yknoe, I've had time on my hands and am probably thinking about this too much.

Here's the OFMD icons tag on fandom_icons!

Ooh, intriguing! I'm trying so hard not to speculate or consider spoilers even remotely because I feel like I've been waiting for this season of television so desperately for so long that I just want to go in totally blind. We'll see how that goes over the next month. 😬

p.s. This is so random but I've been looking at your shows you've been watching recently, as mentioned in your entries, and we have so much overlap! So I am wondering! Have you watched Ghosts BBC?

[finefoxyladies]

I have NOT watched BBC Ghosts... however I am fully caught up on CBS Ghosts. This is The Office all over again.

[dollsome]

Everything old is new again!!! I am fond of both, but I fell in love with BBC Ghosts first and so it is my true, true love. If you ever need a cozy British show, I recommend it ardently!

[finefoxyladies]

Given that I'm going to need another comedy, given the rapidly depleting Only Murders and my stroll through the animated series Housebroken is nearly done, I shall do that very thing!

Oh, and thank you for the OFMD easy link! I'll be plundering that tonight!
