shadowkat1. Uhm..wow...reading this had me sobbing half-way through. It's so moving.
Every year since 1917, Nova Scotia sends a Christmas Tree to Boston Common, Why?
2. Apparently Amazon renewed The Expanse for a Sixth and final season. (I've still to watch S4 and S5, I'm behind.) I like The Expanse, also liked the first book - so I'll continue with it.
It cancelled Gillian Flynn's Utopia - which I haven't watched because I despise Gillian Flynn and her writing. I won't read or watch writers that I don't like. I've made exceptions, here and there, to my regret. So I don't do it any longer. I can't read Orson Scott Card either - I've tried. I don't like him. Feel the same way about Virigina Woolf, Marian Zimmer Bradely (who wrote Mists of Avalon), Nathanial Hawthorn, Margaret Mitchell and various others.
I don't recommend reading or watching works from artists that you personally dislike and turn you off. Life is too short for that. It's kind of like forcing yourself to eat licorice or gummy bears or cotton candy or some food that provide no nutritional value, and just clogs up the digestive system.
3. UTah built a Wildlife Bridge and it's actually working.
4. The critics aren't crazy about it, but I'm loving Virgin River on Netflix. It's brainless, comforting, with likable characters, and just a tad of melodrama but not much. Also fairly realistic with beautiful scenery and a decent use of vets, Annette O'Toole and Tim Mathession.
I couldn't get myself to watch the Hillary Swank space series "Away" which got cancelled - too dark. Too painful. I may eventually. And I've no interest in anything dark, depressing, or requires too much thought at the moment. I'll probably watch His Dark Materials, The Crown, Clone Wars (although I think I already saw it when it first aired, before The Clone Wars film came out), and The Expanse over the Christmas Holidays.
Virgin River is kind of like She-Rah and British Bake Off...a nice comfort show.
5. Todays photos from my walk around Greenwood Cemetery.
A redtail hawk...talking up a storm:
While walking around the Cemetery, I listened to the Audio book version of "How To Be an Anti-Racist" - which I found oddly calming. At any rate, I was less irritable on today's walk, even if there was the same number of people wandering about.
Those who say you can't walk in a city during a pandemic - don't live in New York City.

Date: 2020-11-30 03:28 pm (UTC)I've read TS Eliot and adore his poetry, even though he's an ass. Same with Anne McCaffrey, I loved her Dragon Rider series (although not sure I would now), and felt the same about the Harry Potter books.
People can be more than one thing.
