vamysteryfan I had a quiet day, mostly due to the heat. I binge-watched Good Omens 2. It was great but that last ten minutes broke my heart. I really hope there's a season 3. I hope they make a book out of Season 2. And I had German chocolate cake (a fave).
There was a big storm on Saturday that broke the heatwave. I've been catching up on all those things I couldn't do, like grocery shopping and picking up library books. Sunday afternoon I went to a local Irish bar. There's a jam session every week. The number of people who show up vary but it's always good listening. This time there were a good eight.
Things I'm reading: Another of Ruth Reichl's memoirs, Louise Penny's World of Curiosities, and Maureen Ryan's Burn It Down. Burn It Down is a powerful, rage-inducing, riveting book about the power structure in Hollywood. No wonder writers and actors are on strike. Artists and creatives are consistently devalued while the CEOs and investors maximize their own personal profits. I can only read it in small bursts before I switch to another

I'm very much on the side of smaller creators vs hollywood moguls. I hope that they succeed at least a little in getting some due credit and income.
