I lack the emotional resiliency to watch drama right now.
Oh god, this. I did make it all the way through LFE but it was ROUGH. It was so. very. serious. about. everything.
The Bay City Rollers, now that's music.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yeah, there's like a whole section of my queue that's just "stuff to watch when the world isn't on fire". It's...long.
Like -- I just caught a trailer for the forthcoming AppleTV original "Defending Jacob", which is totally outside my ability to watch at all, despite featuring Chris Evans, Michelle Dockery, and the young Jaeden Martell, all actors whose work I enjoy. But nope. Nope nope nope.
Similarly, I was keen to see the new Ryan Murphy project "Hollywood" when I first heard about it in production awhile back; there's a couple of proper trailers out for it now, and the show features Darren Criss (bless his socks, I do adore him), and Jim Parsons as Henry Willson, the influential and very queer talent agent, which is such a great television role for Parsons after finally being free of all the nonsense of TBBT.
But I just do not have it in me to deal with fictional homophobia and racism and classicism, even in such a beautiful package.

Hollywood has some dark moments but overall it's a feel-good series.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I lack the emotional resiliency to watch drama right now.
That sums it up for me, too, right now. I'm watching a lot of baking and cooking shows. Who will make the best cake?!? is all the intensity I can handle.

What is even happening?
Oh god, this. I did make it all the way through LFE but it was ROUGH. It was so. very. serious. about. everything.
It was. We watched in the space of 2-3 nights, which I think made it easier. I didn't have to dwell in it too long.
Of course then I ordered the book.
Now we're watching the first season of Big Little Lies on Hulu (which originally premiered on HBO in February of 2017). Reese Witherspoon is one of the leads in that too, and it's been hard to separate BLL's Madeline from LFE's Elena.
Right before LFE, we re-watched all of Lost. I still love that crazy, flawed show.

She also produced both, and cast herself - she certainly has a type.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I love the "I think I'll take a nap and set the alarm for June." Sounds like an EXCELLENT idea. And with the snooze feature, it could be longer.
