Monday, Monday


 I didn't expect to like THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME but I sort of did. I think it was because of Michael Cera's casting. I watched it as a series of skits rather than a whole, which was less frustrating. Going to see DON'T LETS GO DOWN TO THE DOGS TONIGHT today. I read it a long time ago. (Great movie-about a family caught up in the end of white Rhodesia). 

Liked the BLACK MIRROR episode with Paul Giamatti. Still watching the series on the Mitfords (OUTRAGEOUS) on BRIT BOX. Always difficult to find much sympathy for the rich and this one makes it even harder as they fawn over Adolph Hitler. Still reading MINA'S MATCHBOX, which is so unusual. Although it goes well with the Anderson movie. Also reading essays by Lorrie Moore. THE WSJ picked their favorite crime books from the 2000s. Megan's THE TURNOUT was on there. I thought it was a very good list but anyone craving action probably won't. 

The weather is strange or maybe it's the Canadian fires but it's dark a lot. 

I wake up full of dread anyway and that sure doesn't help.  

What about your world?
