Sunday Post #444



So another week with no posting. Well, I did post a Monday music but other than that... how is everyone hanging on? I had my first 5 read this week- The Paris Apartment.  

So this is my reaction to the current state of things.

    I'm glad you survived the week. Have you started THE THING ABOUT PAM (something like that...) with Zellweger on NBC? I'm thinking of getting something from Elisabeth Engstrom on my Kindle. Any suggestions? Thanks so much for the chill lofi mix ❤️ All the best to a relaxing weekend...and more...

      Thanks for your comment! Oh, I do like to write about foods I'm not supposed to have. And of course, I love going to that old diner. Breakfast is the best there. Although, the coffee is not great, but suffice. Of course, I'm always in search of good conversation too. Hope you have a good week 💙💛❤️

      Somebody was telling me you could also watch PAM on HULU too! As well, as Peacock. NBC is running it on Tuesday nights and there was a repeat last Friday night, as well. I hear she gets up to some pretty bad things.

      The Paris Apartment does sound like an interesting mystery. Oh, I have to admit a mystery needs to be in everything..even in the BL I'm writing. Although, I don't think of it as surreal, but of course, I am probably just entertaining that thought...and trying to pace myself.

      All the best to a sweet weekend with spring officially here ❤️

    Music can be so amazing can't it? :) I always love listening to music because of what emotions and feelings it gives me.

    Also, I love the pulp cover. :D

    I am glad you finally had a five-star read. That's a long time to go without one. Chicago has so many iconic songs, and they were (are?) stellar musicians.

    Chicago! My oldest brother had their first LPs on his shelf, they started out as Chicago Transit Authority and was forced to change their name. Funny I remember my brother telling me this back in the '60s but I can't instantly recall what I watched on tv yesterday.
    And the pulp cover, so cool!

    I can´t say anything about the video you posted underneath the gif because it is not working. With the rest, I agree. Nothing has changed. The war is still going on, and the biggest liar this planet has ever seen still throws bombs and rockets. So glad you had a five star read. Stay safe and happy reading!

    I hope you enjoyed the Paris Apartment. I almost chose it for my Book of the Month subscription box, but I went with something else. I still want to read it though.

    I really like the last video. It is relaxing.

    I really like the pulp cover. My family loves all things underwater.

    So glad you enjoyed The Paris Apartment. I thought it was great too. I loved The Guest List also. The world is sad these days with all the killing and senseless attacks by Russia. The Ukrainian people are amazing, and I'm glad some other countries are stepping up to help them.

    I honestly feel your pain, Greg, inspiration seems to be something everyone struggles with at the moment . . . I honestly think it's pretty normal, although not what we want :( A bit of good news here and there would do the trick! Anyway, I'm really glad you found a 5 star read :)
