    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'd watch it just to see Robert Taylor! We make 'em gorgeous here in Nebraska!

    Thank you so much!

    You know you are getting old when:

    I wish I was a full-time student! But the only way I can do the PhD is to take it one class at a time - and because I work at the university, my tuition is waived - which is another reason I can do it! So, I have the full-time day job which, thankfully, is very supportive of me going back to get...

    You know you are getting old when:

    In my new cohort of graduate students (I'm starting my PhD in history), I am the oldest one by a LONG shot. Like, I could be the mother of every single one. That certainly makes me feel old. However, it also means I get to embrace my eccentricities. . To wit, I carry a vintage Peanuts messenger...

    Stress and Anxiety

    Oh Lizzie, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. The vet diagnosed my Kathryn with hypothyroidism in February; to make a long story short, we had to insert a feeding tube, and she just kept getting sicker and sicker. She had a stroke or some kind of fit, and died in my arms at the end of that...

    Loungers In Print!

    So the day has FINALLY ARRIVED! (Actually, it was August 10, so more than a few weeks ago!). My historical novel, The Stranger from Berlin, is now available as an ebook from Simon & Schuster UK. Fingers crossed, it will be released in paperback next year, but a lot of that depends on good...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The fourth episode of the Hulu series, Nine Perfect Strangers. It has just the right amount of mystery, secrets, and thrills to keep you watching. Nicole Kidman is amazing as is Melissa McCarthy, who really shows off her acting chops here in a non-comedic role.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Larceny, Inc. because I needed something thoroughly fun and enjoyable to watch. Edward G. Robinson delivers some awesome one-liners in this!

    What Are You Reading

    Why do I stay away from the Lounge for so long? I don't know! Pandemic, school, writing, life...but I really love it here! What am I reading? What am I NOT reading? So, I'm starting my PhD in history, and my first class was last night. We had to read Collingwood's The Idea of History and it...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm a huge fan of The Ten Commandments. I used to watch it every single Easter. But since I've left religion, I haven't watched it since, but still love it. Been watching a lot of TCM with my daughter. She is getting into classic movies and it warms my heart!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    WW84 - Wonder Woman 1984. I was very hesitant to watch this after a few people on here said it was absolutely terrible. Some said it was as bad or worse than Aquaman which was a REALLY, REALLY bad movie, so I was pretty apprehensive. I began watching it and waited for it to get bad. And...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I think I started reading the book but quit. I have no idea why. Sometimes it's just not the right time to read a book, y'know?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    This is one area of WW2 that I am ashamed to admit I know little about. I have Captain Corelli's Mandolin on my bookshelf, but haven't read it.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Guns of Navarone on TCM! Such a great movie. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it, yet it never gets old.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The amount of suicides in the Hemingway family is absolutely indicative of some inherited mental health issues, and it's very sad. My own family has some of the same issues. Two great-uncles killed themselves and so did their mother, my great-grandmother. Three in one family is a lot, and it is...

    I think if we are *aware* of the behavior, and we do not want to repeat the behavior, but we do anyway, it's not an excuse, but a choice. I'm not saying it's easy to break free from that behavior, and yes, much of it does appear to be inherited because if you don't know any different, how will...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The first two episodes of the Hemingway documentary. I've never been a huge fan of Hemingway; like most people, I was required to read The Old Man and the Sea in college lit and wasn't impressed. I'm not a fan of his style of writing. BUT, I have enjoyed the documentary and learning a bit more...

    Some more British murder mysteries. First episode of the series, Shetland, and first episode of the Vera series.
