upcoming releases vol. 5: watching, making, reading
september 30 - october 6
As you may have noticed, there’s some changes to this substack. I’ve rebranded and changed the name to reflect where I have gone personally and mentally1 and better reflect what this substack can bring you. I’ve also updated the color scheme to make it “pop” more. Feedback is always welcome.
I just finished watching season 3 of Selling The OC on Netflix. I didn’t really enjoy this season because I felt like there was little storylines for many of the cast. It seemed to focus mainly on Sean and Tyler and their back and forth of what happened between them.
I also have completely caught up on all the Law & Order shows. Not gonna lie, I’m not a huge fan of the original Law & Order, but stan SVU hardcore.
I bought hamburger in bulk because it was on sale so I have an abundance of it in my freezer. In rotation this week is my daughter’s favorites: Hamburger Gravy with Mashed Potatoes and Corn off the Cob. I also have plans to make my daughter’s grandmother’s chili recipe because apparently my daughter says it’s better than mine (it really is!).
I’m just about finished reading Phantasma and plan to start Sleep Tight by J.H. Markert. I’m also about halfway through The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series which has taken me a little over 6 months to complete.

After being bitter for most of my life, I no longer think with the mindset “go f**k yourself” as the former name was a riff on.
