I could get used to having short work weeks/long weekends. Monday (tomorrow as I write) is Labor Day. So far, we’ve been rather lazy. It’s been hot outside so being inside with the a/c is rather lovely.
TV
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – I have been enjoying SNW this season and the latest episode was a hoot! Are some folks really not enjoying this season? Bummer for them. Here’s my take: the world is freakin’ hard as it is and the lighter episodes have been delightful. I watch enough dark and gloomy shows. Is there something wrong with showing a side of Star Trek that’s funny and touching? I don’t think so. I’m enjoying it and I find myself looking forward to the show every week. If you find this season ridiculous, I hope you’re finding some light and laughter elsewhere.
Dark – We’ve finished the first season of this show and it’s twisty with its sci-fi elements. I like being right about some of the characters and who they are in the different timelines. It’s been super interesting so far. The dubbing hasn’t been too bad. Oh, and we recognized one of the actresses from Man of Steel! It was interesting seeing her as a mom in the ’50s after being a tough Kryptonian.
I did some shopping online last week. I bought a cap (not for me) from Cowboy Tears and some goodies from As Ever. I’m always going to be supportive of Sabina’s endeavors and I’m a fan of Megan Sussex and I love tea, so there you go. I had previously ordered the apricot spread but alas, they couldn’t fulfill that order. They refunded me but promised to send me some when they were back in stock, and lo, I was sent a jar of the apricot spread. Then the online store opened up and I snagged the orange marmalade and peppermint teal. Yes to tea!
Random stuff…
- My wallet is like a magnet for new music from my favorites so why did three different artists have to release new stuff at the same time? One song from Tyler Rich, a “deluxe” version of Don’t Mind If I Do by Riley Green, and an EP from Christina Chong. I recommend them all!
- We’re back to Apple Music. Well, we still have YouTube Music but I mentioned that I really missed Apple Music, so we’re back with it. I’m glad that I can now listen to my Apple playlists on my non-Apple devices. Joy!
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 – I am still very much enjoying this phone. I’ve been using its camera to take my photos of the day and the shots are definitely just right for that. I still use my iPhone for the photos and videos of important occasions, like concerts. 😉
And now it’s Monday evening and we have the 4 day work week ahead. Here’s to the temperatures getting cooler!
