Lucifer

TV Show I know this has another season but I think I heard that it's going to be a short one. So I feel comfortable writing this now. I thought this show looked so dumb when it first started. But my brother suggested it and sure enough I was hooked! It starts with the actual devil not wanting to be the devil anymore. So he brings a friend up to earth with him and they just do all this "debauchery" while granting favors. See dumb premise right? Basically the devil is a gangster? But then we see all the angel stuff that he is dealing with. It turns out this show is all about his relationship with his parent! Who hasn't felt like they'll never live up to the impossible standards that our parents set? Now imagine all of that but your dad is the ruler of the world and he has banished you to literal Hell. Yeah can't imagine my parents doing that, but I do know I disappoint them every day. So the short storyline is a guy doesn't trust anyone except himself and battles abandonment issues every day. Then as the show goes on he starts to make friends. But as anyone with abandonment issues know, it's hard to trust and except friendship. The more people that get added to Lucifer's story the more he starts letting people in. But he never actually learns how to love and voice the love that he's trying to create. His communication skills suck but we still see him trying. The reason I liked this show is because it is exactly what I'm going through. Yeah I'm not an angel and my dad isn't all powerful but it's mental health. I have spent most of my life pretending to be what I'm not. And instead of finding balance I fluctuate between pretending I'm too good and that I'm some crazy rebel. I'm not either of those. I'm someone who is just living. I drink but I never get drunk, I swear but I really try to not swear at people, just at situations (i.e. name calling, I don't like name calling.) I'm just trying to be a good person. But since I have been lying for so long the people that think they know me really don't. I really can't say enough how much I appreciated this story because of the relatability of Lucifer. We all just want to be accepted as who we are but most of us don't know how to go about that. I feel so inauthentic in my life but I can't just run away to LA to reinvent myself (plus LA wouldn't be my choice anyway.)

The Hating Game

Lucy Hale is enough to sell this movie to me. But it was really good anyway. A little predictable but that's not surprising for a rom com. The fun thing about this movie is that it really has a real rivalry. And takes place in publishing. Is publishing that big of a deal? There seem to be a lot of movies and TV shows around publishing. But it's about this small, cute, sweet book publisher who merges with a bigger, stiffer, more capitalist book publisher. And then the teams war against each other. So a lot of it is about the work rivalry but it is also about Lucy and Austin Stowell and how they interact together. It's cute. I would totally watch it if I were you.

You

TV show Psychological thriller if there ever was one! Penn Badgley plays the perfect insane character! He's got this look that just scares the crap out of me! The main girl is amazing too but she's nothing compared to Penn. Shay Mitchell is also one of my favorite people from her Pretty Little Liars days. She also plays her character well and I love her. The story has enough real life to make it believable but also enough crazy to well make it crazy. This isn't going to be a long post because only season 1 is on Netflix so there is only 10 episodes but I think they're still going because IMDB has 2 seasons and they left it open. So I will wait patiently for the next installment because I like Penn anyway but this is a new level for him.

Baby is real

I think I felt the baby move. It was very trippy. But very cool as well. We also found out recently that it's a girl. I'm having a baby girl. Now that I'm showing and feeling it and can shop for it, it all seems more real. This isn't going to be a long post because there isn't a lot to say. I'm really not doing much but growing a human is enough for me I guess. So we've started shopping. We have a crib, a bassinet and some artwork for the nursery. Also we just have a bunch of cute clothes. Not anything real big although she's going to be born in winter. The next step is a carseat stroller combo. Any suggestions? Basically I want just a bunch of black or grey onsies for her easy clothes and then sweats and leggings to wear over them.
