This and That
(The Venus of Pflugerville is no more. I’m still in shock.)
Thank goodness it’s Friday! This was one of those weeks that took forever and almost brought me to my knees, but we made it and the weekend is here. School is just around the corner, so there’s a little school supply shopping and a lot of relaxation in our plans. Here are some things that caught my attention this week.
I finally finished “Orange is the New Black” and oh my gosh! Didn’t see that one coming. The real Piper was on Fresh Air this week.
And so was Jenji Kohan, the show’s creator.
San Japan is in San Antonio this weekend. The pictures of previous conventions are hilarious.
Joni’s series on royal palaces is fascinating and juicy!
This story on preventing forced marriages in England broke my heart.
An opinion piece on Beyoncé’s new haircut. (Now that I’m in my mid-thirties, I’m growing my hair out. What would the author think about that?)
Have a wonderful weekend!
The Beyoncé story? I don’t care much for the author’s opinion. I don’t believe there’s such a thing as age-appropriate hair, only you-appropriate hair. (Oh, I think this is sparking a blog-post idea)!
I think it’s great you’re growing out your hair – I feel like we’re hair growing-out buddies.
The story about preventing forced marriages? Yikes!
I agree. I know lots of people think older women should have short hair, and that’s another issue completely. I’d love to read your thoughts on this in a post.
We were steadily watching Orange is the New Black but then got our internet cut off in order to move and don’t have time to watch TV anyway! I’m looking forward to vegging on the couch and finishing it up.
I was surprised by how much I loved it, and the ending is really surprising!
