@literatureandink I'm strange and watch 2 or 3 shows at once. I watch a season of a show and then switch to another show. I'm watching cheers now and plan on watching the new season of gracie snd frankie next.
@literatureandink on HBO we loved his dark materials. currently watching the outsider. and curb your enthusiasm just started up again and I love me some Larry David.
@literatureandink Not sure what you're into (other than the Great British Baking show) but we've been watching Jack Ryan on Amazon, Watchmen on HBO, Don't F**ck With Cats on Netflix. On my own recently I've watched Working Moms on Netflix and You're the Worst on Hulu.
@literatureandink just finished The Witcher on Netflix (it's super effed up and out there if you like dark stuff) and have just started Messiah. DH and I are watching Suits together. I plan on starting the Mandalorian (Disney +) soon.
@doraleigh35 I liked it! DH loved it. I like the darker side with some humor mixed in, but it didn't suck me in as much as some other shows we've watched recently.
@doraleigh35@KFrob Witcher was our most recent show! We finished it in 3 days. I wish there were more episodes. After that it was Castle Rock. I also watched Cheer by myself and love Working Moms!
Oh my dear sweet @KFrob you need to watch it NOW! It was WAY BEYOND the first season. The story was better, more streamlined, more emotional, scarier, just above and beyond. Not to say we didn't like the first season, we absolutely did, but the second season was far superior. Please immediately watch it. Quit your jobs and get a live in nanny and watch it. Just as a heads up - it's anthology style - so it's the same town and everything happens in the same timeline but totally different storyline.
Hi! I’ve been sick. I took a sick day yesterday, which I hate to do with FMLA coming up soon. I still feel bad today, but better at least. Anyway, that’s why I’m not around as much right now. Don’t really feel up to doing anything.
Blech @mercury94 I’m so sorry you’re sick!! There’s some sort of gross plague going around my office and I’m a hand washing machine right now because my nose feels B stuffy and I CANNOT handle being sick right now!!
My boss wants to do his evaluations of us right after spring break(when I'm 37 weeks). Yeah, that might not be happening considering I had to be induced at 37 weeks with my son!
Coronavirus! I live in Chicago where the 2nd confirmed US case is. O'hare is also one of 5 airports in the US that flights from the impacted area are allowed to land for screenings, which increases the chances for cases here. I'm not a crazy sick watcher, but at 6mos pregnant, with a daughter who had Open heart surgery a yr ago, and a husband who will be going through Ohare at least 6x in the next 2mos, I am not a happy human with this! GO AWAY new strains of shit and new shit in general!

@smallbutmighty77 oh no!! I’m in Raleigh and we’ve got a potential case that came through Raleigh Durham International and is now quarantined at Duke, so I’m obsessively hand washing everyone in our house and spraying everything down with disinfectant.
When I first met DH he had never read or seen any of the Harry Potter series. I told him he had to read them and so he's been reading them out loud to me, with voices, for a couple of years (his choice to do it that way). Last night we finished the 7th book!!! I had him take the sorting hat quiz and he's also a Gryffindor and now we're starting into the movies. We're going to need to dive into some new books I think because we've had so much fun working through the series this way
@babyrummom and @mercury94 nesting is definitely starting, and though my mind isn't on work I'm still hoping to work up until the babies are here (I'll be able to work from home closer to the date). My nesting is manifesting in the need to get little girl's blanket done NOW (I just started it last week - after finishing little boy's). We have some stuff to clear out of the nursery but that should be done in the next week or so.
@korthouse I hadn't read the Harry Potter books or seen any of the movies before DH and I were married either. I was dealing with some health issues and wasn't working then so he told me I had to watch the first movie, and if I hated it, I didn't have to watch anymore. 7 years later, and I'm a bigger HP fan than he is and have read the books and watched the movies multiple times through. Lately, we've been reading some books by Brandon Sanderson (fantasy author), and I'd highly recommend the Reckoners series if you're looking for something to read next. (I work in a library - I can't help but give out reading recommendations. lol!)
@korthouse Before my husband met me, he hadn't read the books or seen the HP movies. I got him into the movies first and now were are making our way through the books on Audible. The narrator on Audible does an excellent job with the voices! We are only on the third book though.
@skc040512 Yay - another Sanderson fan! I love the Stormlight Archives. Some of my favorite characters Brandon has written are in that series. They are some monstrously large books though so I don't always recommend them as the first introduction to Brandon Sanderson. My husband eased me in with Mistborn and the Reckoners before I tried to read that series. There's just so many different series he writes to try, and I've liked every single one I've read. My only problem is having to wait so long before another book comes out; I'm so impatient!
