Attending a series of lectures on the continent of Africa, also hearing the music, the food, seeing artwork from Africa. So lucky to have the senior center we have.
Watching All Creatures (PBS), High Potential (Hulu), Severance (Apple), Asura (Netflix), Mo. Would like to watch The Pitt on Max because everyone is raving about it, but I can't do hospital shows. Why do I feel more uneasy around medical procedures on hospital shows than around people getting shot on cop shows.
THE BRUTALIST was a great movie but I missed a lot of it. It needed closed captions.
Reading OUR EVENINGS by Alan Hollinghurst. It reads like a novel from sixty years ago and that's a good thing right now. Reminds me a bit of BRIDESHEAD REVISITED.
How are you holding up in Great America?

Glen and I going in for jury duty on Monday morning and we have to get up obscenely early, so I am posting my comment early. If we get done early enough, I will come back here and check other comments and tell how it went.
Watching: We finished Season 4 of SLOW HORSES and I liked it a lot. As usual, we found it confusing but fun. And we like all the characters. We are also moving quickly through NUMB3RS, now in the middle of Season 3. And we watched an episode of BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES, and MURDER SHE WROTE, and CSI. And more.
I read THREE ASSASSINS by Kōtarō Isaka. Back in 2023, I read BULLET TRAIN (after we watched the movie), but I did not realize it was the 2nd in a series. THREE ASSASSINS was published later but is the first in the series. Other than the fact that most of the characters in both books are assassins and / or criminals, I did not find a connection. I may reread BULLET TRAIN soonish. I liked THREE ASSASSINS, in some ways it is cartoonish and the story is told in a humorous way. The chapters rotate between two of the assassins and Suzuki, who is looking for revenge for the death of his wife. A third assassin comes into the story a bit later.
Glen finished reading WESTSIDE by W.M. Akers and liked it OK. Now he is reading HOME: AMERICAN WRITERS REMEMBER ROOMS OF THEIR OWN, an anthology of essays by Sharon Fiffer. He has just read a bit of that one, but he is liking it very much already.
Lesa, I have never had sushi, but it would be interesting to try it. And it would be nice to have easy access to a senior center nearby with lectures and activities like you describe.
I hope everyone had a nice week.
