TV Thursday #2: The Big Bang Theory

Hey Everyone!

So I know The Big Bang Theory sadly ended its final season this year, but this show has had a very special place in my heart since almost the beginning.  I sadly have not been able to see the final season, because we don't have cable or DirectTv anymore (we chose streaming sites instead), but I am very much looking forward to Black Friday so I can pick up the final season to binge with my husband at home!

I started watching The Big Bang Theory in 2010, when I picked up the first season on DVD during a Black Friday sale.  As I watching it, my dad ended up sitting down and joining me and my mom.  And he got HOOKED!  We ended up binging the entire season in one weekend, and after we were done, he went, "Alright, so where is season 2?"  I ended up running to the store, picking up the rest of the next season, and it went on from there, until we ran out, because the current season wasn't out on DVD yet.  Every year I bought the next season on Black Friday, and every year up until I moved out in 2015 I watched it with my dad.  

I was extremely sad to hear the show was ending this year.  It felt like another thing gone of my dad's.    So many things have ended, or gone away since my dad passed away, and it's hard.   The Big Bang Theory was the only show I ever got my dad to watch.  He had a couple of shows he watched here and there when they were on TV, but never anything like the commitment he gave to The Big Bang Theory.

So if you have never seen an episode, I highly recommend it!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
