Movies watched

  • Godzilla (2014) -- Unintentional comedy. Seriously, who writes this stuff? My biggest pet peeve: the writers apparently do not know geography.
  • Moana (2016) -- I finally got to watch this gem. So so good! And the music is amazing.

TV Shows watched

  • Legion S1 -- Oh so good! We sped through this season. I can't wait to see what that they do for a second season!
  • The Magicians S2 -- Very different from the book, but we love it.
  • UnReal S2 -- One of my guilty pleasure shows.
  • The 100 S4 -- Another guilty pleasure.
  • 30 Rock S6-S7 -- Finally finished with this series. It was something fun to watch during a lunch or while the kids were running around playing. 
  • Avatar S2 -- Arthur and I watch any episode with lunch some days.
  • Rick and Morty S1-S3 -- J got me started watching this. How did I miss this show?

Comments - So my big blog transfer happened this month and was an obstacle to reading. I'm definitely okay with how much I read, but a bit disappointed at the amount of time I was dealing with blog stuff instead of reading. Hopefully May settles down (although I still have a ton of behind the scenes work to do for the new blogs).
