What I’m watching.

.

In case you need some recommendations.

.

There was a lot of buzz about Widow’s Bay though I admit I didn’t jump right in. But liking Matthew Rhye, I eventually decided to give this a whirl. While I’m not sure if I should categorize it as a comedy or a thriller … it’s definitely both, with a cast of quirky characters that grow on you. Slow at the start, it took a few episodes for me to engage, but once I did I was all in. Maybe living on an island helped, idk.

I was an avid Game of Thrones watcher so when this new series started a few years ago I was there for it. Honestly, seasons one and two left a lot to be desired but I think they’ve finally found their way this time around and season three is filled with intrigue, betrayal and yes… dragons.

.

.

I had high hopes for this political drama but found it a bit disjointed and preachy. DeNiro’s character was wooden, unlovable and a bit of an ass.

.

.

Damon and Affleck are usually a good romp, and if you can get past the gratuitous and unnecessary over use of the word f*ck in the first 20 minutes ( geesh, I’m not a prude but there are other adjectives ) it’s a decent enough movie about crooked cops.

.

.

If you’re not a history buff like me, the battle sequences and strategies might be a little dry. But this 20 part series is as comprehensive a documentary of the war as you’re ever apt to find. Narrated by Hanks, it’s a carefully researched program that brings the true horrors of human conflict to light.

I loved Yellowstone and was anxiously awaiting the return of Rip and Beth. They didn’t disappoint and the addition of veteran actors Ed Harris and Annette Benning make this new rootin’ tootin’ cowboy show worth watching.

.

.

Bad is good and good is bad in this riveting 4 part limited series. Tucci is quietly amazing as the stone cold, conniving puppet master while Tennant answers the age old question how far would you go for a loved one with heart wrenching angst.

Makes me wish there was a season two.

.

Random nonsense.

.

I love when I read a book about a character that loves to read books.

.

.

I’ll take recommendations where I can get ‘em … so I searched for this one on Amazon.

.

.

Needless to say I did not choose the hardcover option.

.

.

I have no explanation for why there is suddenly a stuffed possum hovering over our local pub’s bar. But I’ll be happy to share a pint if he ever climbs down.

.

.

No reason.

Just made me laugh.

.

.

Did you know there’s a Facebook group for wombat lovers? Neither did I… but say hello to its newest member.

👍

.

It’s my blog’s fault.

.

After chatting with a blog friend about Amazon recommendations, I decided take a peak at what Jeff Bezos thinks I should buy. And after seeing his choices…. I realized they’re not based on my buying history with the company, but drawn from my crazy and sometimes off color blog topics.

.

.

I can guarantee you I’ve never purchased any squirrel paraphernalia. Unicorn related or otherwise.

.

.

And clearly no good can come from posting about poop.

Does Amazon really want me to buy a turd?

.

.

A massage gun with extra batteries? I don’t even want to know where they got that idea..

.

.

I do post about birds now and then… but damn.

.

A recommendation pour vous.

.

I don’t often recommend beer to friends because everyone tends to like something different. But once in a while I come across a special one that makes me so happy…. I have to share.

.

.

This strange Belgian concoction has a delicious whiff on chocolate upon introduction…. and then sweeps you skyward in a heady sour cherry cloud.

.

.

Pairs well with rich and dense desserts?

Then bring on the 12 pound chocolate fudge layer cake and River is one happy blogger.

.

.

Seriously, if you like sours? You’ve got to try this one.

.

.

Frank A. agrees.

.

Admit it, you want these.

.

I mean, really. Who wouldn’t?

.

.

A wiener beverage is a beautiful thing.

.

.

Who knew pricks were so helpful?

.

.

I’ve been seeing a lot of the next type of item recently.

.

.

If someone could explain the current fascination with unicorn bodily functions to me, that would be swell.

.

.

Mixed tapes?

Someone needs to set Marty McFly’s dial to the 21rst Century.

.

.

First it was cat butts, now Corgi.

.

.

The world really has gone mad.
