Green banannas

[susandennis]

At my age, I don't even buy green bananas. I think it was Betty Ford who reported that Nancy Regan said that. My Mom had a weird lamp that took a very different bulb. I managed to find a replacement and ordered three. She, then 80, pitched a fit. How they hell long do you think I'm going to last???

Hilariously, I started that about something I purchased or didn't and now, I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Getting old is nothing if not full of hilarity.

So yesterday, in passing, my brother mentioned watch iZombie. I had never heard of this show but the title alone gave me the perfect opportunity for haughty disdain. But, he insisted it was worth a look. And so last night I got sucked down the rabbit hole of iZombie. I think the whole zombie thing is just stupid and I have zero interest. I tried that zombie show with Drew Barrymore and hardly lasted 1 episode.) But, there's something very charming about this show and compelling. I do not get it. But I've got now 3 seasons to figure it out.

And speaking of new shows, Kathy Bates has a new one on Netflix - Disjointed. It's horrible. I tried hard - 2 episodes - to like it but it's just miss after miss after miss. Sigh.

I swam all by myself today. There was one old guy in the spa for a while but otherwise, the pool was mine. And it was a fun swim. I decided that if I had all the money in the world (won that big lottery), I'd likely give it all away after I bought a few fun things like a second condo in this building. I figured I'd buy the one next door and then fix them both up but probably not connect them. But I'd get a second parking spot and finally could have a walk in shower without giving up a bathtub. I spent a lot of laps designing the space in my brain. And then I planned my next sewing project.

The baseball game is this morning. I think I'll do the cut out of that sewing project while I watch.

I'm not big on zombie shows, but I do like iZombie. Maybe because they aren't stereotypical zombies? They can still function like normal people just they eat brains?

My brother says and I agree, it's the snappy dialogue and fun, current references. And every one of the characters - even the bad guys - are really likeable.

The baseball game is this morning.

We are not well pleased with the Mariners today. 5 errors in the first inning? C'mon, guys, you can do better. (Too late for it to matter now.)

It was THE most miserable game ever and believe me, with the Mariners, that's saying a lot. It was a hard to believe. And horrible to watch.

My sister got me into iZombie, and I binged the first season, which was not a great idea. It got really same-y really fast and left me feeling only so-so about the show. However, seasons 2 and 3 I watched as episodes aired (or became available on Netflix in Canada), that is, weekly, and that was much better. Helped too that while the first season is really heavy on the "case of the week" approach, the other seasons focus more on the on-going background story, which is far more interesting. The "case of the week" is more of a sub-plot now.

I'm a few episodes in to the first series of iZombie and I really like it

I love planning what we'd do to the house with our imaginary lottery winnings. A bigger master bathroom is definitely on the list :)
