The much anticipated finale episode of Sharp Objects aired on Sunday night. It is a HBO limited series based on Gillian Flynn’s novel of the same name. Haunting, suspenseful, and creepily beautiful to watch, I couldn’t get enough of this series and the incredible cast of actors! I want my novel done the same way (hear that Connor McVay, screenwriter and director extraordinaire). I recommend it and will not spoil the twisty ending that left me wanting more … maybe another season?!?
I was nominated on Facebook for the 10 Day Movie Challenge. This means that every day for 10 days I must select an image from a film that has impacted me in some way, present it without explanation, and nominate somebody to take the challenge. It’s fun challenge for you movie buffs out there.
Here are my first two pictures:
Day 1: Sound of Music (1965) Dir. Robert Wise, DP Ted McCord
Day 2: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Dir. Steven Spielberg, DP Vilmos Zsigmond
Every weekday I listen to the podcast put on by the New York Times called The Daily. While I’m exercising or driving, it gives me a little in depth coverage of a current topic in the news by the reporter or reporters that covered the story. With the way the news jumps out at us every day, I crave getting an objective look at the facts behind the sensationalism on a lot of the media outlets.
Zucchini noodles, or zoodles as they are affectionately called, are my current favorite substitute for processed carbs. They are so tasty and versatile. Here is a website, Wholesome Yum, that gives a lot of guidance on how to make zoodles. I have never tried the oven method like Maya describes here … but I will. Yummy!
Finally, I went to a book signing for the release of Jonathan Rosen’s new middle grade novel, From Sunset Till Sunrise. It is the sequel to his first book, The Night of the Living Cuddle Bunnies. Both of these books are hilarious and spooky at the same time. I first met Jonathan when he was on a panel of new authors and he is as humorous in person as his writing. And you know how much Cathi and I like to laugh! These books are great as gifts for any 8-12 year olds that you know … or maybe just to read yourself.
