Whoops, looks like I'm accidentally hibernating 😅📺

Hi!

My year was off to a really strong start.

I kicked things off with a bunch of resolutions - an entire bingo card filled with plans and goals.

I was on a bit of a roll, too.

I managed to plow through a few books. I made little bits of progress here and there. I did some planning to achieve a few longer term goals - which isn’t nothing even though it sounds like it is.

Then everything came to a bit of a halt.

Because I decided to start watching The Handmaid’s Tale and now I’m stuck in a screen time K-hole.

As always, I’m late to the party - the show started airing eight years ago. But it’s not my fault.

See, I had totally dismissed the show because of the promo images I kept seeing.

I saw bonnets so white they’d make an Amish woman jealous and red dresses that hid every woman’s physical dimensions, so I jumped to conclusions.

I assumed it was a period piece.

So I stayed the hell away from it.

For whatever reason, I really can’t get behind a period piece. I’ll make the rare exception - I still swoon over Titanic like a teen girl with Leo posters all over her bedroom. But if I see petticoats or pantaloons in a show, I’m turning that shit off immediately.

I don’t know if I got so bored at a historical reenactment that I suppressed the memory but still carry the discomfort.

Or maybe I was forced to watch a PBS drama and it gave me a permanent ick for the past.

Could just be that I don’t like anything that’s set too far outside my reality. I mean, I don’t care for futuristic sci-fi, either. Not usually, anyway.

(Shout out to the present - gotta be my favorite tense!)

I even tried super hard to talk myself into watching Bridgerton because I kept hearing how steamy it is. But I just couldn’t do it.

I was told there’s a hot curvy girl who gets felt up or whatever, but I still couldn’t hit play. Because I knew before I’d get to see some bosoms, I’d have to look at horse drawn carriages and people with stiff mannerisms and I’d be right out.

But a show where the world going to hell in some kind of dramatic way - now that’s my jam.

I’ve always been a huge fan of disaster movies - that’s how Titanic slipped through.

I’ll fuck with a post-apocalyptic scenario, too.

And a society taken over by repressive authorities - definitely can’t resist that. Even if it’s starting to feel way too realistic.

I think it gives me the same kind of thrill other people get from horror movies. That’s something else I can’t really get into, by the way. And if it’s a horror movie set in then 19th century, forget it - I’d rather turn the TV to the wrong channel and watch static.

So if someone could go ahead and make some kind of post-apocalyptic disaster series with a chubby girl who sheds some clothes, makes out with another semi-naked lady, and maybe hooks up with a couple of dudes with lean muscles and sharp cheekbones, that would be absolutely fantastic. They could even do it to stay warm, that way it’s essential to the plot. Just please don’t waste any more good stuff like that on a show that’s set a century in the past.

Anyway, I’m hooked so I’m gonna head back to my colorful TV dungeon now. I’ve still got a couple more seasons to go!

But let me know if you’re into disasters and dystopias too - and which ones really float your boat. I don’t want to miss out on any other good ones!

Love,
Emma ❤
