Media recs of the week

Books:  I recently finished Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson, which was hilarious at parts and like a car crash all at the same time, you just can't look away.  The woman's childhood in ultra-conservative rural Texas was as far from mine as could possibly be, which made it a fascinating read.

Movies:  Her with Joaquin Phoenix.  Highly recommend it.  A man falls in love with a computer operating system, and it's amazing.

TV: Better Off Ted was the best satirical show on television that no one watched.  And for anyone who's interested, Netflix now has the latest seasons of Scandal, Dr. Who, and My Little Pony.

Music: I have no idea, people. My repertoire is limited to the Frozen and The Lion King soundtracks, with the radio top 40 or Taylor Swift's RED thrown in for kicks every once in a while.  Plus, the Pandora oldies station for when I clean. :)
