Continuing with the Marvel Universe, I’ve caved to the friends of The Boy and started in on Arrow. Eleven shows in and I can say this for sure: I love Netflix. About Arrow? The jury is still out on that one. Maybe I just like the Marvel Comic Universe better? Not sure yet…
I’m going to keep plowing through the first season, though. If only to see John Barrowman in a series… I love that guy!
For your daily dose of JB:
Should have told my husband that earlier. Too late now, ugh, I hate having a cold in the summer!
The only thing new I got around to was finding a great series to watch on Netflix… I’ll post about it soon.
In the meantime, I’m going to make another cup of the Ginger Pear White Tea I found yesterday, and offer this blast from the past-
Georgia Satellites “Keep Your Hands to Yourself”
This has been a screen day for me while all the family has been out and about with their own work, friends, and activities.
I nearly finished a two season, ten show series “The Forsyte Saga,” then had The Girl and Friend show me a bunch of their internet finds… I don’t know which I enjoyed more. Probably the girls’ videos, because I’ve had enough of drama- real or screen, although I did enjoy the period drama.
On a funny side note though, when I checked in on Facebook this morning, what do I see trending but who’s a favorite to be the new James Bond… One guy is none other than that baddie from “The Forsyte Saga.” I’ve just spent nearly 15 hours watching Damien Lewis be a complete rat-bastard with control issues, (how much tragedy can an extended family take? Holy Moly, give them a break). The characters were well written, though, and even the more despicable ones were so well fleshed out that you could almost understand (but not condone) their motives. I’d recommend the series, overall.
Topping my favorite videos shared by The Girl and her friends has to be “Enamorada,” a video by Dvicio… or “five gorgeous men singing in a car,” according to them.

Saw “Midsummer Night’s Dream” with The Girl. I’ve never seen it before and always wanted to, so when she announced that she had control of the TV for homework’s sake, I joined in. I loved it when the “Though she be but little, she is fierce” line came up- I forgot that it came from this play and was surprised to see what the scene was like that contained this favorite quote.
Yea for English assignments that mean I get to watch Shakespeare that I had yet to see!
The lovely featured photo at the top came from this wiki page. It is a detail from a painting titled “The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania” by English artist Joseph Noel Paton in 1849.
What’s the difference between a super hero and a balance disorder? With the former, he gets Spidy Senses a-tingling, with the latter one is smacked with Spin-y Senses attacking.
First time I had vertigo, it stunk. Second time was quite a violent attack. Third time was just a sensation of an odd disturbance in the force… and once again I sense something is not quite right in them ol’ vestibular canals.
I should have a TV, Netflix or movie viewing list lined up before I become fully incapacitated, miserable, and unwilling to come up with an idea. Or move, for that matter. Any suggestions? Downton Abby and Torchwood are at the top of my list so far. Any great You Tubers that I should binge watch? All I’m good for is sitting and staring. Reading, my favorite past time, is not an option due to the position of the head. Do Not get cute and suggest Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo… not funny.
If you know anyone who is bothered by BPPV, a somewhat treatable form of vertigo like mine, here is a great doctor’s recommendation of her own maintenance- click on the picture:
