Entertainment

I follow Annie at Tuesday 4 when I remember it is actually Tuesday. Covid has done a number with my timeline and often I have no clue what day of the week it is. I actually remembered today was Tuesday. Maybe I should invest in an old fashioned wall calendar?  

Today's topic is entertainment.

1. Do you have an actor or actress whose movies you hate to miss?

I do not have a favorite actor though I think many are incredibly skilled. I never watch a movie based on whom is starring, though I have ignored movies because I am not fond of the way some actors perform. 

I think one of the best things to come from all the original programing on various screening services is finding incredible actors who we might never have seen on big screen films, if not for this new platform for talent.

2. Is there a movie or TV program you could watch over and over again?

TheHub and I are a threat to watch The Godfather or The Godfather II anytime it comes on. We might watch the entire thing or just specific scenes, but if we are channel surfing and hear the intro music or a familiar line from the movie we will stop every time.

As far as TV shows go? 

There are none I make it a point to watch but there are shows I have seen more than once of course.

And anytime the pig man episode from Seinfeld is on I will watch it. It came on the night  after Son3 was born and TheHub had stepped out to grab some dinner. I had a C section and they were keeping me a couple of days so I was watching it by myself. It was the funniest episode I had ever seen but it hurt like crazy to laugh. So I continued watching and the floor nurse finally came in to check on me because instead of laughing I found  if I said a wavering HOOoooooo  ( not silently) I could satisfy my urge to belly laugh without self inflicted pain.

3. Do you have a list of books or magazines you are hoping to read over the summer? 

I always have a list of books waiting in the wings, as well as a couple of magazines I read religiously.

Books for July: 

           Beneath a Scarlet Sky

           The Astonishing Color of After

           Everybody Lies

           Shakespeare for Squirrels

           The Turn of the Screw (re-read)

           How to Have Kick-Ass Ideas

Magazines for July: 

           Wired  

           The Smithsonian

Drinks or snacks while reading? 

I always have something to drink while I read, usually coffee, tea or water. 

4.  What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

I like nearly all genres of music and listen to it every day. 

Jazz is my favorite, but I prefer bebop. Hard bop and fusion are close behind,  but I do not care for smooth jazz at all.

I like classic rock

C/W is ok but I prefer the older true country instead of most of the crossover country of today.

Classical music is gorgeous and I listen to it at some point every day. I especially like several of the Russian composers.

I do like listening to some of the arias from operas.

Showtunes are a love of mine and I find myself singing them all the time (mentally singing this one if I am in public) 

Rap, Hip Hop small doses__extremely small doses

Pop? I am so far out of the demo for it that I have no opinion whatsoever.

Oh and I forgot I love old Motown and Soul
