Carefree & Coffee

~Weekend gRound Up 11/23/19~

Today I am headed down to Pullman, WA for the last Cougar home football game of the year! I generally like the system where I house/dog-sit for my parents every home football weekend because I prefer being able to get stuff done or grab my laptop and just keep an eye on all the games throughout the day. Also, the Cougs get a lot of late games and I am infinitely happier watching those indoors with hot chocolate and a fireplace on.

It’s going to be a freezing cold one tonight but I try to make it to one or two games a year and this is the last chance for the season. It’s worth bundling up for one (1) night and I can take a boiling shower when I get home. Or so I’m trying to convince myself.

Screen Time:

What I Watched:
*Booksmart(Now on Hulu!)
This new trend of coming-of-age female stories, ACTUALLY written & directed by women, has me ALL IN. I loved seeing the praise Booksmart got when it came out but I never had a chance to see it. Now it’s on Hulu so there’s no excuse. Just like Lady Bird last year, it’s so so great that girls are going to get to grow up with these movies. && that us old’s get to experience them now with the knowledge of hindsight.
*UglyDolls
I was looking for something lighthearted one evening this week and uhhh it was a mistake. Fifteen minutes into the movie I actually pulled up ratings & reviews to see if kids had like it and it just wasn’t for me. But no, everything written about it was bad. I did suffer through the whole thing, it got worse. Please don’t do this to yourself.

New Releases:
*Frozen 2 (Theater)
Elsa is my girl and I will hopefully be seeing this in the next week! I even watched the first Frozen shortly after Disney+ launched in anticipation😀
*A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (Theater)
While I’m probably going to wait and watch this at home when available, I do have to say that Tom Hanks looks like one of the most perfect casting choices ever made.
*The Crown (Netflix)
I LOVED the first two seasons and will be diving in to season three soon(basically as soon as I finish watching the first season on The Handmaid’s Tale lol). I miss Claire Foy & Matt Smith already!
