With everything that is going on in our world, who couldn’t use a little distraction??
These are three things I enjoyed this summer when the news and or the weather channel just got to be too much to bear.
The three things this month are all media and are both highly distracting and an entertaining waste of time!
1. “Wow, no Thank You” by Samatha Irby. This is a book of essays that made me laugh -literally out loud as they say. It is not for everyone, it has a lot of expletives and very real talk of her IBS and other stuff. But funny! Irby has written three books of essays (all of which I got) as well as writing for television and movies. She is on instagram as @bitchesgottaeat .
2. “White Lotus” on Crave or apple tv. This is a tv series about a tropical resort, it’s staff and the guests who stay the week. It is super addictive and the actress Jennifer Coolidge is brilliant in this. There are six episodes and you won’t ever guess how it ends.
3. “You’re wrong about” a podcast by “two journalists obsessed by the past. Every week they reconsider a person or event that’s been miscast in the public imagination.” Think about the OJ trial or Tonya Harding or Yoko Ono…. I listened the episodes about Jessica Simpson. I sorta wanted to read Jessica Simpson’s book called “Open Book” but this podcast about it was even better. Highly distracting and enjoyable.
Let me know what has been on your pleasant distractions list lately in the comments below.
