Howdy August!

on
Holy cannoli, I might combust.
Will it help if I do angel dust? 
It's going to be another hot one. 
August has begun. 
How are you doing? 
Can you believe it is only 145 days until Christmas? 
I hope you are doing great in your corner of the world.
Thanks for stopping by and I will talk to you tomorrow. 

July challenge update

I started strong adding movies to the Letterboxd app but then I faded just as strongly. 
Definitely need to work on this one or find a better solution to tracking the movies I watch.

August challenge 

Take my time and read everything.
I have found myself skimming things and missing some important details, which is really embarrassing for someone that used to make their living as an editor.

August collars

Here is Ms. Frizzle's collar for the month:




Here is Lucy's collar for the month:


Team Lucrizzle


What am I watching?

This is what I have on my streaming to-do list:

Survivor - Season 43
Deadloch - Season 1
Jury Duty - Season 1 
Shrinking - Season 1 

Mr. Shife's Book Of The Month Club



What people liked in July? 

My popular post in July was a meme dump on July 20.
And, for some reason, 72% percent of my visitors came from Germany.
Hallo und dankeschön. 
Maybe they have discovered my secret public blog posts about one of their favorite people, The Hoff.
I found it amusing to write about David Hasselhoff back in 2005-06.
Don't ask because I don't know. 
I guess I was working through something and red speedos were the cure.  



I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

    Most of my visitors come from the US; France, Germany, and the UK come in a close second. I find that fascinating since they never comment. Oh, and the Bombay Hooker Society sends me a lot of brothel ads.

      The only foreign comments I have been getting are from Asian countries.

    I especially like Lucy's collar (though both are nice). Yep, it's gonna be another hot (and humid) one!

      Naughty Snow White would be an interesting reboot.

    Call a film studio and reboot Blues Brothers starring Lucrizzle. I sense Barbie money!

    Sounds like your August is off to a hot 'n sweaty start!

    It blows my mind that there have been 43 seasons of Survivor. I lost interest somewhere around Season 6.

      The show has evolved quite a bit to keep it exciting and I am enjoying it. Maybe it is just spending time with Hayden.

    Stay cool in August, enjoy yourself and forget us. Go on a vacation! Come back after school begins.

    Oh, I get some Russians and some people from France and Spain (but I do know people there). They never comment, though...
    And I watched Deadloch. It's smart, funny and very twisty. Recommend.

    Those Righteous Gemstones are a hoot aren't they? Sometimes I just want to reach into my TV and smack them all.

    How do I join your book club? The podcaster I follow (Kate Casey) highly recommends Jury Duty.

      Very exclusive club, Bijoux. Send me basset videos and you are in. Ha. Jury Duty is a lot of fun and restores your faith in humanity.

    145 days until Christmas???? I mean that was that, exactly? What was the point of throwing that tidbit of info into the mix? Why on earth do you have to be cruel?

    August has brought us relief from the humidity and cooler nights, which I am very grateful for. Hang in there during your hot spell, Mr. S. I love that you all have different collars for the canine members of the family :)

    Deadloch is a crazy show. John and I watched the whole season and still don't know what we think of it. Germany? Sehr toll. Hot here too but not unbearable. Or do you consider 85 hot? ;)

      85 would be nice, Margaret. It was 105 yesterday.

    Most of my blog visitors are from the US but I do get some from all over the world. It's been really hot here too we reached 115 a few weeks ago but it's been around 105 for the past couple of weeks.

    I think I need that Letterboxd app! Last night we saw The Sound of Freedom and we spent the whole time driving there trying to remember when the last time we went to the show was and what we saw. Finally remembered it was the latest Jurassic Park and whenever it came out! Hope it cool off a bit for you soon!

      Check out the LikeWise app. I am liking that much more than Letterboxd, Jeanette.

    Howdy mid-August and 134 days until Christmas. Team Lucrizzle is adorable!
    We just finished S3 of The Righteous Gemstones and S2 of The Bear. And some Jeopardy reruns. Not sure what's next.
