quarantine quests

Sooo things have become kinda crazy, right? I know we all are trying to do our best to flatten the curve. Even though it seems like the number of cases are ever increasing. My family has been practicing social distancing for 8 days now and the only time we stepped out was to replenish our grocery items.

Some things I'm doing during this time includes reading. In addition to reading children's literature, I'm more interested in reading magazines. Using an app called Overdrive. Give it a go with a library card to borrow unlimited magazines. I've been mostly reading fashion and food articles. In hopes of getting better at both things.

As expected I'm also watching a lot of tv shows and movies. Just last night I saw The Invisible Man, The Hunt and Spies in Disguise. All three were fun (and suspenseful) to watch. 

And when thing get really boring, I bring out the iPad and play Temple Run. Like it's 2010 again. On the hobbies front, I want to get more into creating art & re-purposing my clothes. 

Stay safe at home, everyone! Ciao

TV Talk: June 2020

Valeria: I'm binging this for my spanish comprehension. So far its not hooking me in but I'm sticking with it to see how it goes. 
Edit: I never got past ep 1. I just got bored of all the characters. 😬

La Casa De Las Flores: This show is so dramatic and funny but it is Paulina's accent keeps me watching. Especially good if you are learning Mexican Spanish.

Sweet Magnolia: this show makes me long to be a white suburban mom that has just found freedom after a divorce. But seriously, the show is better than expected; just hang in there for the first episode. The various storylines pick up and get very interesting; particularly the way the "side" character stories unfold (even sometimes without the main characters present) I'm hoping for a second season. 👍🏽

Central Park: fans of Bobs Burgers have to watch this cartoon. Not the same charm as BB characters but the song as catchy and fun.
