oh boy, how wrong I was ;)
6-2 6-2 for Halep


Anyway, I started watching Games Of Thrones last night, the first four episodes of the first season. Only 69 episodes to go. Or shall I just skip the entire final season? Yeah I know, I'm late to the party, but I never had HBO, and didn't feel like downloading the episodes illegally. Until last week when I changed the TV subscription package.

not a big tennis follower but serena losing again is the end of an era

watch the whole game of thrones. good or bad ending (it’s bad, lol) you’ll want to know.

the first few are amazing though. worth the binge (yeah, you’ll binge)

don't rule her out yet, she entered the tournament practically untrained due to injuries and she still made it to the Finals. So if she keeps fit she will still win the grand slams.



I had to stop last night I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore :) so yeah I'll binge

Yup

We've been saying this about Federer for half a decade now?

you have?

first i hear of it :D

Well, before Wimbledon in 2014 Federer hadn't made a final in two years, and we all thought it was finally time for the others to overtake him. Then he's won three more Grand Slams since then.

He's old enough that he could be my dad, this is insane.

ooh i see. wow... i remember his battles vs nadal... some ages ago?

i forget when or what (lol) but it was big somehow. i remember that this girl... what is her name... the one that left a note for h8kurdt... had a crush on nadal ha ha ha. in the end federer won. he was... 28 at the time?

so i suppose serena could keep going a while... i like her, so... i hope so.


how old is he now. 85? :D

I’m watching this show CASTLE ROCK on Hulu.

It’s basically like an Agents of Shield for the Steven King “multiverse”

Except it has cussing and is really dark and probably a more well-made show.

Anyway... pretty good stuff. Several actors from series I like (Leftovers, Six Feet Under, American Horror Story, Daredevil), and it has all these little breadcrumbs from all the Stephen King books that take place in Maine (Shawshank, Green Mike, Shining, IT, more that I haven’t read and wouldn’t recognize ... probably Tommyknockers)

Interesting and pretty satisfyingly.
Hope they make a season 2.

Not a big King fan in general (I like about 2 ½ of the books of his I’ve read), but this is making me want to explore more.

ALSO...

BIG LITTLE LIES (HBO) is off-book for season 2 and going GREAT

EUPHORIA (HBO) is some KIDS-level disturbing ass shit, but really well done and engaging

HANDMAID’S TALE is still probably the most important show on TV, but I feel like it’s losing the thread a bit in the last episode or two. Hoping it finds it again, because we need that show these days, goddammit.

im rewatching the original deadwood series in preparation for catching the movie at some point in the near future

Caught up with some of the more renowned animated series of this decade lately. Recently finished watching Gravity Falls, which was a well-written funride with a good amount of heart and beautiful animation. And then I watched Over The Garden Wall in one sitting (its mere 10 episodes clock in at just under 2 hours combined). This show is a beautiful piece of art and thematically intriguing. The early to mid 2010s were kind of a great time for animation.

Just realized a new season of Last Chance U hit Netflix. Looks like I won't be getting shit done today...

Russian Doll. Loved it. It's like Groundhog Day, just a good amount more complex and intriguing in the psychological department. Love me some Groundhog Day, but I gotta admit the whole message it tried to convey was pretty simplistic and somewhat problematic at times. Russian Doll takes a very similar premise but puts a more nuanced spin on it. And Natasha Lyonne absolutely kills it in that lead role. Great art direction and soundtrack as well.

Totally agreed. She really is great in this. I only got 4 episodes in and got distracted with another show, but you totally just reminded me about it. I will likely finish it out this weekend.

i had fun with that show

even the silly ending in the tunnel wat? i lolled. was good stuff.

GLOW season 3. They upped the boob count this season, if I'm being blunt in thoughts thus far.

the IT miniseries

Mindhunter season 2. This is arguably Netflix's best series.
