  • Finally finished watching Sex Education - so relevant for the current times of all the things that can happen when we make awful, dangerous laws. Absolutely loved the show. Maeve & Eric has to be my favourite characters.

  • Sweet Magnolias - has been my silly escape. I am not sure why but I enjoy the show. I usually don't do such Romance stuff. Virgin River was another one.

  • Raising Dion - D & I watched the second season of the show and enjoyed it.
  • Reacher - N & I watched this together. And there was something I liked about it. And yet, OMG everyone dies. It's not a spoiler. It's a formulaic and so anyone can guess. Not just dies, everyone gets killed. And we see the graphic violence. Ugh. Some of them seem justified - one almost is convinced it is. Oh so disturbing. The first few episodes, I was like look at this awesome dynamic - a man and a woman and that is not a love interest. Well, never mind that. This was a similar reaction I had with Breaking Bad. So very disturbing. And should we be worried we are attracted to this? lol. Noticed the writer is of South Asian descent and we were cracking jokes that some of the ideas must have been pulled from watching Rajnikanth movies - Rajnikanth is Indian version of Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone all rolled into one. Anyway, know Reacher is based on a book or a movie from the past. I vaguely remember dad watching it with great interest.

  • Spiderman - we watched all the Spiderman movies with Tobey Maguire and watched Captain America: Civil War, over the weekend. And last night we watched Homecoming with Tom Holland as Spiderman. Enjoyed the movie. And maybe it's nostalgia and my bias, like Tobey Maguire more. But this was also great in its own way. Can't wait to watch the next one. Debating if we should watch Venom 1 & 2. And see Avengers Infinity & Endgame too - let D decide. N has already seen them.
  • Looking forward to Bridgerton the next season! This is US (TV Show) is coming to an end. sigh.

This news was really sad to read this morning, Terry Jones: Monty Python Star Dies. I heard first heard and watched the Monty Python movies in high school. In our Theory of Knowledge class for the IB program. I forget what we were discussing but we watched (probably not in its entirety) Life of Brian & Meaning of Life. I can't remember laughing as hard as I did with the work over anything else. Well, maybe Eddie Murphy's work came almost as close, but those are so very different. So, let's not compare.

Ever since, I have been humming, "always look on the bright side of life! *whistles tune*". I am waiting eagerly for a day when D would be old enough to watch it and get the humor. Although, she'd probably roll her eyes. Maybe she will have a cool theology teacher or equivalent who will recommend it! ha ha hahaha....

 7 If you were guaranteed that you would be unkillable, indestructible and uninjurable for the next ten years, but you would die once the decade was up, would you go for it?

No - I will take my chances. Managed well for 4 decades. 

8 When you are watching films do you Google the actors to find out if they are still alive and/or what else they have been in?
Sometimes - if it's a movie I liked and is new to me, I do check them out - I usually know if they are alive but find out what other work they might have done.
