I watched two episodes of Shetland and liked it, but boy, the locale is depressing. It's like the sun never, ever shines! I haven't gone back to it but will.
Air Force with John Garfield and now Rio Bravo. This is my absolute favorite western. John Wayne reminds me so much of my grandfather...they look a lot alike (they did not have similar politics).
I'd forgotten that my DVD of Rio Bravo came with behind-the-scenes photos.
Oh, Harry Styles is VERY well known here in the states and dare I say, the world. While Taylor Swift is probably the biggest female pop star in the world, Harry Styles is the biggest male pop star in the world
Slowly making my way through the new season of The Crown.
Magpie Murders is playing on PBS's Masterpiece Theater here in the states and I am thoroughly enjoying it, too!
Forgot to update my health status!
So. Contrary to what I was told for YEARS, I do NOT have rheumatoid arthritis. I finally went to the Mayo Clinic last year at this time and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. My health has progressively gotten worse since I wrote...
What am I writing?
I just wrote 1280 words on my new novel which is AMAZING considering I hadn't even looked at this manuscript for several weeks. The words are not my best, but they got on the page, and that is what matters. I'm trying to write more, to put aside this damn internal editor that...
If I could afford it, I would TOTALLY DO THIS, though I don't know if I'd run off to Paris. Instead, I'd run off to England and to a nice little village where I would write in a pub, or by the river, or a lake, or on the train, or in the backyard of my adorable cottage.
In my early 20s, I had...
Finished Gentleman's Agreement by Laura Z. Hobson last evening, then watched the movie tonight.
The book is wonderful. Hobson's writing is lyrical and beautiful, and it was a pleasure to read.
I'm currently reading about 7,309 books at the same time as I'm in grad school (I kid, I kid...it's...
I had never watched Gentleman's Agreement before, so I decided to read the book before I watched the movie.
I finished the book last night and watched the movie tonight. The movie, I'm happy to say, follows the book almost exactly except for a few scenes at the end (it still ends the same way...
I actually scrapped that particular Hollywood novel, and am embarking on a new one set in 1940 or 1941 (haven't figured out which yet) Hollywood. It's going to be unlike anything I've done before and I'm really excited. Unfortunately, the class I'm taking for my PhD is taking precedence over the...
I have to write a 9-12k paper for grad class (for those not in the know, I'm in my second year of my PhD in history program) and I also need to write my next novel. Trying to keep both separate in my brain is really hard.
