So I've started rewatching this as one of the several archival series I've revisited in quarantimes. Season 1 is perfect television, and season 2 goes completely off the rails. At first I was pissed, but then I did some light googling and found out there had been a writer's strike for season 2, and now I'm watching with a sick intrigue as the plot lines get more and more convoluted. It's truly insane, and I'm here for it.

I have seen a freakish amount of television series in my life and I love to recommend this one to people. It is probably in the Top 10 shows of all time for me, easily. I think lot’s of people I know including myself missed it when it came out or ignored it because we already knew about the movie (made inspired by the same book but not the same thing at all)It’s such an incredible show. So incredibly addictive and memorable. I am not even a sports guy and I love it, you dont need to like sports. There is ONE flaw in it but its a funny flaw, a result of the writers strike that happened at the time. Lots of shows of that era have some goofy shit that happens during the writers strike season, but this show has something wild and it is NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED AGAIN in the rest of the series. Anyway I love it. Watch Friday Night Lights.

It’s weird, confusing and a more than a bit Steven King. There are two seasons.

shockingly good william gibson adaptation ran for an incredible first season on scammazon prime and promptly after announcing season 2 they used the writers strike as an excuse to cancel it and i will never forgive them!!! unique, superb sci fi that could have been the next big thing if streaming production companies weren’t weak as fuck

This is probably the most old lady thing I'll ever do, but here I am recommending dried fruit. You know when you're used to the grocery store version of something, and then you have an excellent version, and it's just like... a completely different thing? That happened to me when I first bought a nice bottle of olive oil. And also when I ordered from Apricot King. I love dried apricots on my oatmeal, and now I'm spoiled beyond return. I just turn my nose up at those dumb bags of stupid apricots at the grocery and keep on walkin.

I've never been a drinker... until motherhood. Now at the end of the day I don't mind something to take the edge off. Not to mention the slog of winter is upon us, and all I want is to think of the warm weather - enter the Aperol Spritz. It's the perfect end-of-day drink for me because it's not too strong (I'm breastfeeding). But I can't get through a whole bottle of prosecco before it goes flat, so I've been getting 4 packs of cans of prosecco. Did everyone else know this trick already?! It feels like a stroke of genius to this sleep deprived gal.

I don't know how I stumbled on Katie Lee Biegel's IG, explore page probably? But her IGTV channel is exactly the amount of effort I want to be putting in to my cooking these days. I recently became a mom, and so did she, so I probably am feeling extra kindred. But do me a favor, go watch and make yourself a Backpack Bagel! I've been having them multiple times a week.
