I might have made a new friend in the real world! It’s quite exciting as that doesn’t happen often and I feel very lucky, if the friendship sticks.

Thandiwe Newton is an amazing reader! Her rendition of Jane Eyre is stunning. I’m currently working my way through her reading of War and Peace and it’s equally gorgeous.
She has a voice for each character and helps one dig into the stories. Listening to her, I’m not brought out of the story thinking of her as an actress.
I’d listen to her read the phone book!
Growing up I would hear people hating on her. But this was pre-internet so perhaps the World Wide Web has lessened the Willie bashing?
Willie in Temple of Doom. So what if she wasn’t cut out for the big adventure! She liked her life in Shanghai- dresses, performing, champagne, and nightlife. She didn’t ask for any of what happened next!
I love this and wish people would still get more dressed up to do random stuff.
He’s such a whiner!!!
Hahah- i started calling myself a San Francisco conservative: absolutely left leaning but compared to the folks in SF I’m not blue enough.
Thank you for this suggestion!
Listen to music! Especially something that makes me dance, like 90s house music.
This answer is adorable and cheered me up. It works!
Ahhh, the Leg Tent! A favorite for our boys.
For me it’s constantly having that word you’ve used 1k times just out of reach, coupled with feeling like there are two (or more) levels happening in my head: one trying to have a verbal conversation and the other wondering silently when my migraine/headache will go away.
Gold Diggers of 1933 - pre-Hayes Code and funny! It’s fast talking and much of it came across as modern to me.
Schitt’s Creek - about halfway through the second season where things really start to gel. I unabashedly want all of Moira’s outfits.
There is a brand of crackers called Finncrisp which to me taste like savory grape nuts. Delicous!
So true! And it’s something that I had never thought of before seeing the movie.
As an adult I wasn’t ready for the curb scene! Poop, now I’m thinking about it.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt! Really, all her books but this one especially.
And anything by David Mitchell, though my favorite is 1000 Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.
If you read these I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
True! But with my luck this would all happen whilst camping in the wilds.
Thank you! I hope you find good friendships along the way , too.
