Dear Town That I Live In,
Please explain this to me one more time. Someone in the borough thought that the abandoned Agway feed mill (yes, the same one that is due for demolition within the year) was an eyesore and we should use taxpayer dollars to pay for this somewhat hideous mural. I know the artist put a lot of time and effort into it, but I'm still unclear how this is an improvement. The paint is already peeling, I'm not sure what the subject has to do with our town, and the BUILDING IS GOING TO BE KNOCKED DOWN! I can hardly wait for the next improvement project.
========================
Dear Mad Men,
I've watched a few episodes this week in my search for a Netflix series to "watch" while I knit, and I can't decide whether I'm repulsed more by the rampantly arrogant misogyny or the inane idiocy. I wanted to give you guys a fair trial, but I'm afraid I'm just going to tell myself that Peggy grows up, loses her naivete, becomes a powerful business woman, and abandon you in favor of Elementary reruns.
P.S. I don't get the appeal of Breaking Bad, either.
========================
Dear Justin,
I've been thinking about you all week, wondering what you're doing at your internship and how you like it. You don't often text or call, but I have to tell you that your texts have made my week. I agree with your assessment of "Grocery shopping sucks", but I think there may be a life lesson to be learned with this one: "I spent $52 but buying food seems like a waste of money. I'd rather eat at home and spend money on truck parts instead." "I miss you" may have been the best one of all. Keep texting.
========================
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and safe weekend!
mad men is maddening and I watched all of it! it's the slowest series I've ever watched but i love the clothes and time period. Glad you are getting texts and the internship is going well. I live for texts and calls :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the internship is going well! And well Justin...yaaaa grossery shopping does suck! :-) I watched all of Mad Men...some seasons more appealing than others. I did like the ending. Have a wonderful weekend Bonny!
ReplyDeleteI think that mural is kind of cool but I like run down buildings and stuff like that - they make for great photo backgrounds. I'm glad Justin is keeping in touch somewhat, hope that he's doing well. I have never watched Mad Men or Breaking Bad but I do love Orange in the New Black and that is coming back very very soon - hooray!
ReplyDeleteLOVED Mad Men. HATED Breaking Bad. You just never know . . . That mural is certainly . . . bright. And . . . I collect Brian's best texts as screenshots. Because he is not a man of many words, and some are just too, too wonderful (for a Mom) to lose. XO
ReplyDeleteLike Karen, I liked the clothes in Mad Men. I grew tired of the series, but stuck it out. I had to give up Breaking Bad after two episodes. Smith loved it! Overall, I don't understand the appeal of TV, although I do watch from time to time. Good for your son to stay in touch with you in any way. Some kids just won't (not that I have any real experience with that).
ReplyDeletePS I think the mural is cool, especially given it will soon be out of your sight.
I had that same reaction to the single epidode of Mad Men that I watched. I had to live through that era, and no, thank you, I don't want to revisit it.
ReplyDeleteI did NOT like Breaking Bad at all, but I've been a big Mad Men fan (still have to watch the last few episodes). Justin's texts are priceless; I well-remember both my girls' first grocery trips...boy were they grumpy! (especially Katie in Manhattan - really grumpy!!) Happy Weekend!
