Currently Reading/Watching

Books I'm currently reading:

"Notes on a Foreign Country: An American Abroad in a Post-American World" by Suzy Hansen. Curious to hear her non-US-centric perspective.

The new "Leonardo da Vinci" by Walter Issacson. Leo keeps popping up in my life lately as I look for some inspiration and a muse for more creativity in my life. Plus, he's just brilliant. I wish I could have known him. And I'd love to soak up all the knowledge I can since I most likely will be traveling to Italy in June 2018. !!!

Interesting shows, documentaries, and movies I've watched/am watching in the past month:

Binge watched "Handmaid's Tale" a few weeks ago. Super disturbing and essential show for women to watch. Very well done show.

Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown"on Netflix to inspire my wanderlust for travel and food :)

Ken Burn's new 10 part documentary "The Vietnam War" via Amazon Prime. Quite extensive in length and footage. I am blown away by all I'm learning  (D and I have watched 5 out of 10 episodes thus far). It's so great to see Marine veterans talking about their harrowing and mentally as well as emotionally traumatic experiences as well as their conflicting thoughts about the nuances of this decade long war...even though the intensity of this documentary is hard to watch and hear at times. And LBJ...what a stubborn egotistical asshole. Highly recommend this documentary.

Just started "Mr. Robot" last night at the recommendation of my brother and mom. Enjoying the weirdness so far two episodes in.

David Cronenberg's "Scanners." One of the creepiest movies I've seen in years. I thought I was going to have nightmares last night. Not sure what to think of this one.
