Movies and Books

I'm been moving along a list of things to blog about for about a month now.  Easter is on that list, so obviously it's been a long time.  Lucky for you  many of the things on the list no longer seem worth blogging about (even by my broad standards) so I'll just mention a few things and hopefully feel like I can blog regularly again.  I'm using my phone more and more for pictures and putting them on Facebook which seems to mean less blogging.

1.  Sam and I have been talking about cancelling cable for a month or so and when the bill came yesterday, I called and cancelled.  We rarely watch tv and saving 26 dollars a month seems worth it.  Of course I then remembered that I watch Call the Midwife on Sunday nights right now, so I thought I would have to find it online, but I just turned it on and cable still seems to be working fine...maybe it will work until we return the box?  I'm assuming they actually shut something off... (ETA:  Turns out it was the Season Finale tonight so guess I'm all set with the tv until next year.)

2.  I read Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint a few weeks ago.  I enjoyed it, mainly because I really like books written by "liberal" Christian women.  Right now I am reading Strings Attached: One Tough Teacher and the Gift of Great Expectations.

3.  We watched American Hustle and Dallas Buyers Club, most recently.  I have nothing to say about either of them.  I go over Jenny's every Sunday night to watch Season 7 of Mad Men, as she gets the channel and I don't.  It's been a disappointing season.  The first three episodes were horribly boring.  The last two were better, but I definitely think it is time for the show to end.  Two more episodes this year and then 6 or 7 more next year.  The next season of Orange is the New Black is being released on June 6th and I am looking forward to it.
