This evening’s post is brought to you courtesy of Codral (not in any monetary sense just in the dosed up sense).
I’m quickly succumbing to the flu and in amongst the sneezing, coughing and feverish ramblings I decided to write a blog post.
So you can all guess how this is going to turn out, can’t you? Probably best to reach for the remote or a good book now and save yourself the pain of reading on.
Well if you can’t be told … here we go.
I’m trying not to give up on the A to Z challenge before the end of week one. Which means today’s post has to feature “F”. I drew a pretty long bow yesterday for “E” and posted the Weekly Photo Challenge but added an extra label “Everyday life” see “E” Everyday. I’m on fire aren’t I?
Given my present state of ill-health and the self-inflicted pressure of blogging there was a particular “F” word that sprung to mind but this is a family blog so I won’t go there.
If we are going to look for positives though at least my illness begins with “F”. “Luckily I didn’t come down with diphtheria or typhoid because that would have left NOTHING to write about.
Confined to the only comfortable lounge chair in the house I decided to take advantage of my state of lethargy to hire The Notebook. Because apparently I am the only person in the universe who hasn’t seen the film. In fact I haven’t seen anything with Ryan Gosling in it. I know how have I managed to survive?
At this risk of seeming even more out of touch, I didn’t find him that cute. I know … wash my mouth out with soap. At the start he kept reminding me of Aussie comedian, Glenn Robbins, honestly they have the same chin. Or maybe that’s just the drugs I’m taking. Things did improve once he grew the beard. While the story was a lovely little ode to life-long love. Which I did enjoy.
My late introduction to The Notebook reminds me of how out-of-touch I am with the current fads of popular culture.
I’ve never seen an episode of Offspring, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, or Girls which everyone on my twitter feed seems to be enthralled by, and I haven’t read 50 Shades of Grey. See completely out of the loop!
Am I missing out?
LOL he DOES look like Glen Robbins and I hated Ryan with the beard! Ad this weird blog comment right to left thing continues t do my head in, Janine. But ignoring that aspect, I LOVE your posts, even though I don’t comment every time. I hope you Re felling better soon. Or if not that we gat another run post as a result.
oh thank god I’m not going crazy someone else thinks he looks like Glen Robbins – I liked the beard it stopped me expecting him to go into Uncle Arthur at any minute! I don’t know why the silly comments writes from right to left – I wish I understood CSS – I’ll have to email the girl who created the theme.
I’ve only seen the notebook once, and it certainly isn’t one I’d watch again, however Game of Thrones is bluddy awesomeness!! (although I haven’t seen or read any of the others in your list, so my recommendation is biased!)
Get better!
OK so maybe I need to try and get into Game of Thrones. I googled it, sounds like one my husband would like.
Yes, the husbands do seem to like GoT (as we fans refer to it). Sex and war – easy. But it is fantastic. Peter Dinklage. ‘Nuff said.
As for Ryan, he doesn’t do it for me either, and I’m sure he’s devastated about that. Neither did The Notebook. But ‘Crazy, Stupid Love’ is well worth it – very fun comedy with Emma Stone and Steve Carrell. And Ryan Gosling (in case you were wondering what the link was.) Hope you are feeling better my love. x
So GoT (see me get with the lingo) sounds like it is the go … will give Crazy, Stupid Love a shot as well.
While I pick my jaw up off the ground about the fact that you don’t find Ryan Gosling to be the most attractive man in the world (more Ryan for me..) – I wanted to tell you I can tell you you’re missing pretty much nothing in 50 Shades of Grey. The others I’m pretty out of the loop on as well. Although if you wanted other raunchy romance novel suggestions that are better, I could probably provide you some of those.
I know, I can’t work out what’s wrong with me! Glad to know I didn’t miss anything with 50 Shades of Grey.
