Things Other Than The Thing I've Been Doing The Last Month

[finefoxyladies]

1) Visited Mike and Kate. Had a day in Boston, then spent several days on Martha's Vineyard. Read one book (Marrying the Ketchups), abandoned another (Mrs Fletcher by Tom Perrotta... sorry, Tom, don't think I'll be reading that so I left it amongst the Martha's-set mysteries and paperback Stephen Kings), a lot of good conversation and food, re-learned how to play War (a skill-less game that, like Uno, will wind a person up), watched Cats completely sober with Kate (oof mah GOOF), then came home.

2) I'm nearly done with S3 Starstruck already so I need another romantic comedy series to watch, preferably one starring one or more Kiwi actors. Anyone have any recs?

3) One of my fave podcasts was recently grousing about S3 Only Murders. Is that the consensus? That this season is Not Good? I've been enjoying it enough!

4) I'm really back into live comedy again after seeing several stand-up shows in the past few months. I have one more plus a live podcast whatchamadinger lined up in the coming months. It's slower going with live theater, partially because this is not Chicago and partially because seasons for tour and local stuff have been hit-or-miss (or, more frequently, because *cough* I saw things either in NYC or Chicago before they made their way here).

5) ... Our Flag Means Death S2 is in two more sleeps. I'm... mildly excited.

ETA: Oh, I'm also watching S2 Welcome to Wrexham. Over in the UK and those parts, they call it FOOTBALL!

Very excellent on the recommendations--haven't seen a one of them save Catastrophe... and now I'm wondering if I ever watched that final season. And speaking of your recommendations, just as I was gearing up to watch the BBC Ghosts, Max dropped it. I was pretty cheesed off about that. I hear tell a new season is on its way so perhaps I'll be adding Britbox at some point.

Agreed on Meryl! Also Cinda Canning returned! I mean, Mabel's love interest is kind of a dud (as always? I mean despite Oscar, I guess. He was fine.) but otherwise the mystery has been solid enough and the shenanigans are delightful. What are people coming for, I wonder?

I am soooooo bummed that Max deleted Ghosts, argh! I panic-ordered DVDs a few months ago and now feel very validated, but it's so frustrating that my ability to rec it to everyone I know has become so hindered. I've heard that they're going to start airing it on CBS like next month to make up for the delay in new CBS Ghosts, so I guess that's how it will next see the light of day in America!

Totally agree! As long as I get adorable Mabel + Oliver + Charles besties antics, I'm happy. Everything else is just adorable cherries on top!
