why_me_why_notThe fact that there are THREE SEASONS of Murder Under the Friday Night Lights completely blows my mind. What the heck? I expected maybe one season, but that's a lot of murders that circle around American football.
I've been trying to watch more movies and documentaries and new-to-me stuff instead of just rewatching the same things all the time. i just finished the Quiet on Set documentary, and that's a lot to process. I've had a hard time watching iCarly since I read Jennette McCurdy's book, and I'm sure that will extend to several other shows now, and they're all shows that Luna and Maddy like to watch. (Illy is more a Disney kid - we watch so much Zack and Cody, lol)
Along a similar vein, I was thinking the other day about season 6 of The Expanse and how I didn't know going into it about the allegations surrounding Cas Anvar, so I was so shocked and surprised that Alex was killed off, because the series ran pretty close to the books, but I'm glad they did it and I'm glad they didn't recast the character. And I kinda wanna skip forward in the Ty and That Guy podcast to find out what those two have to say about all this. I mean, I guess nothing is stopping me from doing that, so I might add that episode to my podcast queue for tomorrow.
I'm trying to refocus my life on the way I want it to be, instead of the way I feel others are expecting me to be, if that makes sense. Which means more reading, watching, listening to new things, and setting/keeping boundaries. I went on a faith retreat this past weekend and it was definitely what I needed. I'll probably talk about that more at some other point, because it's still processing in my brain.
I did read Lattes and Legends (Travis Baldree). I kept seeing it recommended. I didn't dislike it, but it wasn't something I would have gone out of my way to read. I am currently working through How to Keep House While Drowning by K.C. Davis, which I am actually finding very helpful. I'm thinking of putting up a sign that says "It’s okay, friend. Throw it away." Still trying to learn how to be a minimalist, lol.
