Sheryl, can’t he just put a coat on over the pajamas? I do.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Uuuugggghhh msbelle. Good for you for taking the bull by the horns, I guess, but that sounds like a huge mess.
I am one ep in on Murders and it is charming, so that’s my plan for today. In between random puttering around, I suppose.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I copied down what to watch TV notes for a bunch of year-end lists off AV Club and elsewhere. I haven't *seen* these but they are recommended:
‘Call My Agent!’ (Netflix) A comic soap opera, a melodramatic comedy — the elements are in perfect balance in this French series about a tempestuous Paris talent agency that is always on the brink of implosion. The comedy comes in because everyone is always working an angle; the sentiment because at the end of the day, the agents at ASK really do care about their clients and one another. The fourth season maintained the show’s method of simultaneously satirizing and affectionately fetishizing those A-list clients, many of whom appear as themselves — Sigourney Weaver asking an agent to slice her breakfast pastry, Sandrine Kiberlain negotiating a midlife crisis by embarking on a career in stand-up. The headwinds for ASK were worse than ever, though, and melodrama had the upper hand; the season ended with what was clearly meant to be a series finale. Now that a fifth season (and a film) have been ordered, the writers eventually will have to come up with another way to end the series. (Streaming on Netflix.)
‘In My Skin’ (Hulu)
Gabrielle Creevy pulls off a difficult trick in this kitchen-sink coming-of-age story set in Wales: She keeps us on the side of a teenager, named Bethan, whose defenses are so forbidding and so constant that she can be very hard to put up with. The second and final season of Kayleigh Llewellyn’s BBC Three dramedy took the smart, sarcastic, self-hating Bethan through high school, and through another harrowing series of ups and downs with her bipolar mother, played with heartbreaking grace by Jo Hartley. (Streaming on Hulu.)
Maid (Netflix)
I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson (Netflix)
“City of Ghosts” (Netflix)
For All Mankind” (Apple TV+),
“The Great” (Hulu),

Sophia, let me put in a plug for The Expanse, which is cool on many many levels, but the one that might make it click for you are the women who are movers and shakers of the plot, with all kinds of agency. I highly recommend it!

A big thumbs up to City of Ghosts on Netflix. I’m RE-watching it right now.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thank you everyone! This sounds odd, but I have been really struggling to find things to watch. I love watching things, so it diminishes my joy in life to just be floundering.
