Movies

I recorded Love Actually when it was on before Christmas since I had never watched the entire movie. I was surprised when I watched it that I had seen more bits and pieces of it than I realized. It has a great cast. I liked some of the stories more than others. My favorite was the author who fell in love with the woman who worked for him while he was writing. The scene where he goes to find her is the best in the movie. I will probably never watch it again.

TV

We finished season 4 of Australian Survivor. We weren’t happy with the winner, but we enjoyed the season. Now I wait until my daughter is home again to watch a new season.

I watched the finale of Yellowjackets on Showtime. It was a very good show and did a good job of setting up season 2.

I watched the first episode of Naomi on CW yesterday. I was too drowsy during it so I didn’t get a full idea of the show. but I liked what I saw. It is another DC superhero show but focused on a Black teen who is obsessed with Superman and then finds out they have something in common.

I’m enjoying Next Level Chef but will wait for my daughter to watch the rest.

I watched all of my regular shows I watch alone. I feel like some of those shows are losing their appeal. I need to keep track…
