This was lovely and I wish I could have done more of the things. I am very grateful to my friend Leah who encouraged me to go and to my friend Erin who accompanied me for much of the time!
OLD FAVORITES:
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Yeah, I guess this was a bit more problematic than I remember, but gosh are the Sherman Brothers great.
Spotlight
Yeah, I’ve watched this maybe five times too many.
TELEVISION SHOWS
Unbelievable
Some excellent lady work here. It’s a shame that the people who probably really need to watch this won’t or will undercut it with their nonsense.
Big Mouth: Season 3
Honestly, this was the perfect thing to watch when debilitated by my period pain.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
What a time to have a TV license in the UK.
Fleabag
Oh… I just binged the whole thing in my depression. It’s fine.
Looking for Alaska
I would be a poor John Green scholar indeed if I didn’t watch this. This adaptation in particular was an important catharsis for me.
WEST END:
Ian McKellen On Stage
Ah, this man is a joy and a marvel. And all proceeds go to charity! There were actually also really nice people around me whom I befriended. It was like Return of the King a bit, though, in that it had about three endings.
Anxious Adventures with Abs
