GBBO is such a good suggestion. Iโ€™m also considering finally watching Marcell the Shell With Shoes On

Expand full comment

I cried several times watching Marcel, so if you are going for a good therapeutic cry, it's a good choice - but it's sadder and heavier than I expected. Still a great movie though.

Going to see Conclave!! I want my political thriller to be of the papal nature tomorrow lol

Prepare yourself for some *very* heavy-handed references to the nature of elections and the modern world lol (I enjoyed Conclave but it is not a subtle film)

I might revisit the RHONY vacations. I really love the trip to Morocco. Theyโ€™re all just the worst. Fights about hangers? Much better than the news.

is that the trip where luann screams at everyone for being late to dinner and the camera follows alex just wandering around the house crying and fighting?? because absolutely underrated trip

Expand full comment

Yes!! I think they yell at Alex for entering the room โ€œthe wrong wayโ€ and I am pretty sure that at a dinner afterwards Luann says, โ€œeven Louis Vuitton makes mistakes,โ€ re: Alexโ€™s LV sandals.

Because I work thru stress by cooking (and bc I'm dumb) I'm hosting a dinner party where each dish corresponds to a candidate. Jerk chicken biryani vs doughnuts.

Ok hitting some SATC reruns and during the ep where Samantha gets a chemical peel before the book launch and I gotta say mad respect to the rich ladies of the past out in the trenches as lab rats burning their faces off so we could get better facials today

Expand full comment

This is such a good episode. Also, further evidence of Carrieโ€™s narcissistic behavior for making Sam attend that event! I could never

Expand full comment

No but she forced her to go and then shamed and bullied her to leave. Carrie and Lorelei/Rory are characters than create great tv but damn they disturb my peace a little too much

Currently rewatching Gilmore Girls and YES maternal emeshment to the max.

Election day also coincides with National Chicken Finger Day so I might just order a questionable amount of chicken strips and go wild

Not that itโ€™s great intel but a lot of signs point to not knowing tomorrow night + it might take more time so line up lots of media content!!

Iโ€™ve made some headway this weekend with Sense&Sensibility and Cinderella (1997) so I think I might zone out to The Age of Innocence on Criterion and/or When Harry Met Sally

The Age of Innocence...what a perfect movie. Marty really freaked it when he made that one

Over the past few week, I've been watching random episodes of Little House on the Prairie (Roku TVs have a channel that plays it nonstop) and its honestly been so comforting to turn it on and curl up with a bowl of ramen after work.

I'm currently reading Little House in the Big Woods to my son and it's also very comforting. Give me detailed descriptions of how to make butter pats in the shape of strawberries, please, and keep them coming

this is me and The Love Boat channel on Pluto. It's the TV equivalent of a warm hug and I love seeing all the guest stars.

I'm in Canada (brag, but also I have even less control over this election cuz I can't vote) and for the last couple of years my husband and I have been watching the X-Files on Tuesday nights. We're now in the truly terrible 2018 season, where they're openly commenting on modern day politics for the first time (that I noticed, anyway). So either it'll be a harbinger of doom, or a reminder of what we all narrowly avoided.
