History documentaies

Admittly this is going to be more a reminder for me when I’m in hospital, but it’s also a series of recomendations to anyone reading this….

  • Mary Beard’s documentaies. Somewhere between what I’d expect from a University lecture and a TV documentary.
  • LucyWorsley, more made for TV than Mary Beard. (Her series on the lives of English servants in the 19th and early 20th century was very interesting.)

Am adding go the list as I think of things yo watch….

  • Travel Alone Idea – a Japanese travel blog ln youtube. I like it a lot more than I’d think and I wouldn’t need to concentrate on plot in the days after my operaton…

Inhumans

For the first time I can really remember I’ve been “hate watching” a TV show, in this case it’s Marvel’s Inhumans. I’m only watching it because I’ve watched most of the movies and all of the other TV series so I sort of feel obliged to watch this too 🙁

The closest before this was Luke Cage, which I found incredibly slow. With Inhumans I just found the main characters that are supposed to be the good guys incredibly unlikable to the point really don’t like them at all and I don’t care if anything good happens to them – the only reason I’m still watching it is due to the fact that it’s playing on free TV here in New Zealand and the fact that I do like having shows I’m not that interested in actually watching playing in the background while I’m doing other things.

I think my favorite of the shows at least is Jessica Jones, though someone else review of David Tennant’s Kilgrave did get stuck in my head while watching it – they described him at times as reminding them of his version of the doctor but with the evil tones added, in particular the flashback scene when he first sees Jessica.

Horrible Weather :(

The weather’s horrible here now, meaning that the painter who is supposed to be working on the outside of the house can’t do anything… He was able to start work on part yesterday and got that section finished at least which is something. At least I get to stay inside at work – I’d hate to be doing something like delivering mail at a time like this especially given that the weather’s supposed to be just as bad tomorrow too.

I started watching Gotham on Netflix a couple of weeks ago and I’m enjoying it a lot more than I was expecting to! I’m also enjoying Iron Fist a lot more than I had thought I would – I actually like Coleen and Ward more so far than the main character.

Audiologist visit

I’ve had my annual “check-up” with my audiologist for my hearing aids. It was pretty boring, everything’s fine, apparently I’m looking after them perfectly (which I had been worried about I admit as I wasn’t 100% sure I was doing everything correctly).

As a result I’ve had the rest of the day off with nothing to do as I haven’t had anything cleaning wise left to do right now, so I’ve had An American Werewolf in London playing in the background – as I’ve watched so many times by now it isn’t funny 🙂 – and doing minor things like adding an About page for this site. So entirely uninteresting 🙂

“The Travelers”

I’ve been stuck at home sick over the long weekend, (and I’m still at home today but should be back at work tomorrow at least). I’ve manged to binge watch “The Travelers” on Netflix, which is odd as normally I never binge watch anything no matter how much I’m enjoying it. I’ve been getting through three episodes a day and I’m sad that I’m finishing the last episode now…

I watched “Stranger Things” very quickly too but that was only eight episodes long and I was only watching one in the evenings. Even with the first season of “Heroes” I was only watching one to two episodes a night and I was getting a little sick of it by the end.
