Hamilton.
It's been my Spotify most listened to three years in a row, dethroning Wicked.
Whenever I am in a dangerous mood, it brings me out of it.

Just finished The Apocalypse Suite ... Graphic novel, book 1 of The Umbrella Academy. The comic is way darker than the Netflix series. I don't think I'm going to survive the end of rhe world.

So in the meantime:

South Pacific - childhood memories

Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse. Headed out with the Goodacre twins, hoping one doesn't stab me in my back, my new charge, who also has clan powers, and well ... Hoping we all make it out of the next segment alive.

Re: What are your favorite documentaries and why do they stand out for you?

daNanner — Fri, 17 May 2019 14:27:46 -0000

Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story : https://www.netflix.com/tit... - because Hedy Lamarr, duh. I watched her in a lot of classic noir films and then found out she was a genius! And now other people can learn too.
Won't You Be My Neighbor? : https://www.youtube.com/wat... grab some tissue.
A Year in Space: https://www.pbs.org/video/y... ok, some wonder at the universe still exists.
Chasing Trane: https://www.netflix.com/tit... -- jazz junkie
Wishful Drinking: https://www.hbo.com/documen... - Carrie Fisher. 'Nuff Said
I Am Not Your Negro: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I haven't been able to watch the Robin Williams or Spock ones yet. I like historical and biographical documentaries as an adult. I used to watch the nature ones all the time as a child and with my kids, but these days it's depressing to see how we are destroying the world. Except for Singapore, they are trying: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Re: What board/tabletop games have you spent the most hours playing and why?

daNanner — Mon, 13 May 2019 11:08:21 -0000

Scrabble and its derivatives. I love word games. Hate cutthroat ones like Monopoly, but I will definitely play a ruthless game of Exploding Kittens or Uno.
