Back like I never left?
Hello world. Still floundering but at least I'm at the same association. I need an outlet and every blog I read mentions the importance of blogging. I'll give this another whirl.
Astronaut Wives Club. My first (and only) blog post mentioned my love of all things Mad Men. As a curvy lady, I enjoyed the costumes and Joan's outfits have sorta informed work attire. Dresses work best for me. Fit and flare is my friend. I like cardigans.Cardigans are important in navigating the sweltering, muggy days known as DC in the summer and freezing from the AC in my cubicle. Astronaut Wives Club is my summer TV drama. I love the costumes and the colors. I spent a good bit of my childhood summers on the Space Coast and it is interesting to see it as it once was. It used to be filled with astronauts and "Space Cookies." Now it is all shirt-less, leather skin surfers and snow bunnies. Every time I think the plots have been dramatized for TV, the google confirms those astronauts were indeed the hound dogs the show wants us to believe.
Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century. For some reason I have seen the Kate Winslett film Heavenly Creatures about this case several times. I stumbled upon the book and I have been casually reading it during my commute. This is a good time to confess that I was a criminology major in college and crime will always have a special place in my heart. Serial killers, ponzi schemers, mass murderers, etc. Give me a documentary or film about them and I will watch it with rapt attention. The book gives a really in depth analysis of the girls and the ways in which their intense friendship/lesbian relationship and isolated lives led them down this path of murder. So far I like it but I am only halfway through.
That's all I got for now. We'll see how long I keep this up.
Cheers!
