Three sentence movie reviews: Girls Season 1

Being someone who is fascinated with adolescence and the transition to adulthood, especially from a female perspective, I’ve been looking forward to this series for some time now.  It completely delivered with hilarious and also cringe worthy situations, great writing, fun wardrobe and a lot of a naked body of a type you don’t see much in media.  I’m really looking forward to the second season.

Cost:  free from library
Where watched:  at home, with Matt who got pulled in halfway through and caught up on his own.

Postcards from Germany & the Netherlands

I returned from our Crater Lake Trip to find this postcard from Stephan in Germany.  He works as an art historian and is a specialist in religious architecture.  This is a wonderful example of a Bavarian Baroque church.  Next week, Stephen was going to the Spanish Pyrenees.  

 This is from Sandra in the Netherlands.  She tells me that tomorrow (6/13) is her birthday, that she lives with 4 (!) men, three sons and a husband, and also that she is a part-time teacher.  The quote she included was “Be yourself, no matter what they say” which is from Sting’s song “Englishman in New York” which happens to be one of the first 45RPM records I purchased.
