September 16, 2022: What are you Watching?
Daily Diary, , Day 745: Pleased to say I got 1262 words written yesterday. And I finished the deeper cleaning upstairs and then my morning walk today before Rio the Border Collie came over to play.
The two dogs hadn't been playing much the last few months, we thought perhaps because of the heat. So we gave them a little break (extended by our one bout of rain), and this morning they were much more lively. Lots of zooming around the back yard.
Almost done with listening to my second Carl Hiaasen novel, they are formulaic, but I am enjoying them as audiobooks. At night we also finished rewatching an old murder mystery series, set in New Zealand, called Blue Rose (four people come together to explore the death of young woman).Quirky, alternately suspenseful and comedic. Also rewatching Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom, very well written, but troubling how many of the escalating political social trends of the past 6 years were foreshadowed in the story lines.
Also thoroughly enjoying a series, Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays about a psychiatrist and his patient. It is Canadian and has a number of cast members from one of our all-time favorite series, Slings and Arrows (about a theater company.) If you haven't ever seen this one--do. I think it is on Prime and a bunch of other stations. We loved it enough to actually buy it so we can rewatch whenever we want.
What are you watching? Love to have some recommendations for movies or tv series to watch. Always looking for something new.
No more fall or halloween decorations yet, I even went a different route today to see if I could find some--or some blossoms. All I found was the rather creepy wall ornament! I love the small lizards that dart away when I go down my front walk, but I don't know, these are too big, too many, and made me feel uneasy!
Love Jane Austen books made into film...EMMA starring Kate Beckinsale. PERSUASION...with Cirian Hinds (spelling?). PRIDE AND PREJUDICE starring Jennfer Ehle. EmmaThompson's adaptation of SENSE AND SENSIBILITY . I own all of these.
I also love quirky "classics"... 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD starring Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft...she should have received an Academy Award for this!
STRANGER THAN FICTION Starring Emma Thompson and Will Ferrell...really!
WEST WING ...also wirtten by Aaron Sorkin ..the best television series ever made. in my humble but lovable opinion.....my son and I watched the entire series in the summers before he went away!
(He is now 31 ad engaged to be married! So old! But they own a house and a dog together (Charlie, a Boston Terrier who was her dog alone not so long ago) Jesse is a wonderful man, a professional musician and teacher of Percussion who composes for High School and College Level Musicians.
Anyway ... SHITT'S CREEK written by and starring Dan Levy and also starring Eugene Levy...a Canadian Production. The cast is quirky, unbelievably funny and you will recognize a number of the other actors I simply cannot remember their names at present! Ah, well...I do not believe my husband and I have ever laughed and cried so much watching any other series!
-THIS IS US a wonderful, meaningful TV series that just ended in2022..
he BOURNE movies wit Matt Damon ..Suspenseful and Violent but so well done.
I love true classic films, musicals and I can go on forever, So I won;t. ...polly
Hello dear Sister - I am catching up on your postings!
I just started a series on Netflix recommended to me and I really like it so far. It is "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
If you watch it, would like to know if you like it!
