![]() My partner and I checked this book out from our local library. ![]() There is so much gratitude in this book, and there's something so fearlessly, persistently loving in this piece of writing, which I just adored. He writes from a truly bottomless well of affection about his wife, his kids, family, caregivers friends, and art that helped him. It made me think more deeply about love, gratitude, parenthood and the ways that humans connect with each other and enrich each other's lives. This book is so humanistic and so disarming. But it's also written by Rob Delaney, who cannot not be funny. This book reaches beyond just grief and depression. He is also maybe the funniest person on Twitter.Īs many people who follow him know, Rob Delaney's two-year-old son, Henry, died of brain cancer in 2018, and Delaney has written beautifully about grief and depression in the past. He's one of the stars, writers and creators of the TV show Catastrophe, which I also love. We have talked about Rob Delaney on this show before. So last night, in just a few hours, I blew through a really funny, sad and thoughtful book called A Heart That Works by maybe my favorite person on the internet, the great Rob Delaney. I think it's good for anyone who has kids that are younger, like 10 or 12 years old. I've never played it solo, but it's very fun with two players or more. It's gotten to the point now where we have just left it on our table so we can just go and start playing the game randomly during the day. It's beautifully designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, and it's just really fun. I don't care about birds in real life, but the whole point of this game is to play birds and put them in different habitats, including the forest and the wetlands. It's been sitting in our living room, and my partner and I finally started playing it. But now I'm obsessed thoroughly with Wingspan. So with something like Suburbia, I can build a government and an entire town. I am a board game fan, and one of the great things about board games is that they encourage you to "do" things that you wouldn't actually do in real life. ![]() She's on a lot of lists of comics to watch. And of course, the whole reason we're talking about her is she's got a comic voice that is all her own. I watched this thing twice because it is so well structured and it's got a very funny ending that it builds to kind of inevitably. The special revolves around an intruder in her backyard that keeps coming back. I don't quite buy that, because I think it's more that she's wise, strong and very self-determined. Her presence on stage is so warm and open. She also created a TikTok phenomenon called the "Drop Challenge," in which people slowly squat while Beyonce's "Partition" kicks in.Īnd any time a stand-up becomes known for something besides stand-up first, it can be worrisome. She's been around for a while, and if you're extremely online, you might know her already because in 2019, she was performing on stage in Pasadena when an earthquake hit, and she helped keep the crowd calm. She is a stand-up comic with a special that dropped on HBO and HBO Max last December. You'll find YouTube autoplay more stimulating and rewarding.What's making me happy this week is Atsuko Okatsuka. It's not even worthy of being filler for the gaps while waiting between seasons of your favourite shows. Laughable action choreography bordering on slapstick Painfully sluggish story beats with no pay off Terrible writing with an unoriginal and overused sci-fi theme I could only stomach 3 episodes and even that was an epic "marathon of boredom" (nicely said Curt K).īut this is not nearly enough to compensate for: The 4.5 star Google rating this series already has only speaks to the mindlessness and abominably low standards of the audience willing to watch it all the way through. This is amateur story telling at it's absolute worst. You're welcome.ĭon't be fooled by the 69% audience rating (as at July 2022). You will only discover new opportunities for disappointment. There is no entertainment value to be found here.
