    Listening - everything I like.  For this, will go with Black Sabbath

    Reading - The Plot Against America - Philip Roth (stalled last time on this, put it back in the pile.  Picked it back up again to read before watching on HBO)

    Watching - Bosch - finished S6 last night.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Listening to a huge range.  Lately my go-to's, the ones that bring me comfort or rage or release.  I may be a one man woman, but I can be a real slut, music-wise.

    Reading Flea's Acid for the Children.  Doing it in pieces but loving it and the images (memories too) it evokes.  The sender of said book is loved too :)

    Watching Bosch, though not quite as quickly as the fellow up there.  Lots of podcasts and comedy on youtube.  Dangerfield, Gervais and Bill Burr made us cry with laughter last night.  SO needed.

    @OffSheGoes35 Lol, I'd love to know more, like which songs and why. I hope that includes harvest moon/superblood wolf moon?

    I didn't know Columbo was on Netflix, it's usually on tv @ the weekend anyway. Rockford files is popular with my better half, all kinda old stool @brianlux

    Listening - PJ Bootlegs (up next San Sabastian, Spain from 11/22/1996)

    Reading - between books right now. I do have 1984 downloaded to my tablet, so that will probably be next.

    Watching - mainly documentaries found on Netflix/Amazon Prime. Most recent was the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix.

    Listening: Gigaton, which for reasons that were perfectly valid but hard to explain meant that I just heard the album for the first time on Tuesday evening

    Reading: Jo Walton "Or What You Will", just released on Tuesday, and Maria Konnikova's "The Biggest Bluff"

    Watching: nothing, as usual
    my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

    @oftenreading I think you did well to hold out this long... earlier this year the highlight of my year was the release Gigaton and finding a warm brown teddy bear coat (I managed to spill some white gloss paint on the back of it though). The rest of the year is just a blur where I've been working a lot and making my home and garden a bit nicer.

    I love the way you are watching nothing as usual, I expect this is because you are @oftenreading :)
