I'm so excited to be featured this month, Julie! And I love the concept of a "writing imperative." Thanks for sharing it.

This reminded me that I need to finish Bad Sisters! I love it but watching it before bed always makes for some funky dreams. :)

I get that! It took me a while to get through the first reason because the husband was just so painfully awful to watch.

Argh yes!! I know that's the idea, but...well, that actor did a great job!

I've been googling the sunrise/ sunset charts too! Did you notice how the mornings get darker after the solstice before they get lighter?

Yes! The mornings are killing me. The afternoon is actually not all that bad right now here (or at least less bad than the morning).

I also read "Summer Romance" in the off-season and found it pretty cute

It is! I also really liked one of her other books — Nora Goes Off Script.

I feel the same way about Bad Sisters! Desperate to turn into an ice cube at the Forty Foot.

Somebody should definitely organize a writing retreat there. Going to manifest that.

I subscribed to Bizzy. Looking forward to more humoritiousness.

Is the next season of Hacks out yet?

I’m looking forward to Leanne Morgan’s new sitcom. I wish there were more comedy shows and movies.

Hacks is unfortunately on Max which I don't have but it's one of the main reasons I want to get Max (at least for a little bit).

Did you ever watch the BBC original version of Ghosts? It’s excellent!

I think it’s on Amazon Prime or Vudu. These streaming services are so complicated.

I have not, but this reminds me I've been intending to. Thank you!

I just bookmarked this mushroom bourguignon recipe! Yum! I couldn't agree more - I'm barely paying attention to the plot as the Garvey sisters make me want to go to Dublin ASAP. I keep meaning to listen to the soundtrack!

I'm still championing Colin from Accounts if you opt for Paramount +! Thanks for all these great links! I'm excited to pick up Personal Space!

Glad it’s not just me on Bad Sisters. I was just looking up Colin from accounts the other day! I may need to just subscribe to some of these services for a little bit and then unsubscribe.

I'm a big fan of the free trial with a lot of these services -- as long as I remember to unsubscribe! I want to have a drink at that Gravedigger's pub too!

Expand full comment

Oh good call on the pub. And the remembering to unsubscribe is the problem for me!

The streaming service madness is ripe for a McSweeney's list! The choices are endless and yet somehow not quite right?!

Expand full comment

Ha, so true! Definitely a good topic for humor :)
