Here’s my current world of pop culture and media intake.

FIVE THINGS:

  1. Umbrella Academy Season 2 - It took me a while to get into Season 1. We tried it out and lost interest on the second episode. We decided to give it another shot and I am so glad we did. Luckily for us, we watched it all just before the new season was released so we didn’t have to wait long to continue our binge-watching!

  2. Umbrella Academy (the comic books) - The Netflix series is is based on a collection of comics and graphic novels created and written by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way. In the space between finishing Season 1 and waiting for Season 2, I read all three volumes of the comic. It’s fairly different from the show, I’d say.

  3. Shakespeare’s Landlord by Charlaine Harris - I’ve been wanting to read a physical book lately, but I’m not ready to get books from the library just yet (because of the pandemic). However, I didn’t want to buy a book and lose interest in it so I decided a safe bet would be to pick up a Charlaine Harris novel. I haven’t ready the LIly Bard series yet but I know what I’m getting into with Harris’ books and having recently started this, I’m not disappointed.

  4. Hearthstone - I’ve been playing a lot of Hearthstone lately. I mostly play in the Battlegrounds (Beta), with the occasional run in the Tavern Brawls to complete my daily quests. I also enjoy the story line quests when there’s a new one available.

  5. Pokemon GO! - Mr. LL got Lazy Baby into Pokemon GO! on his phone and so I had to also reinstall the app on my phone. Mostly we let her play but I’ve been having fun hopping on here and there.
