So, the Ho and I watched the entire first season of American Vandal tonight. Like, from beginning to end. And that was AFTER a full work day for me, writing, workout, reading, other miscellaneous stuff and everything. Even laundry!
This new schedule, guys…it’s pretty dope so far. At least one week into my experiment. It’s going well.
The show was really good. I wouldn’t characterize it as ‘hilarious,’ which is how it was sold to me, but daaamnnn is it well done. What I’d say makes the show brilliant is that it’s one of the smartest, pitch perfect satires I’ve ever seen (lampooning the current phenomenon of amateur sleuthing and investigating), and possibly the most accurate depiction of high school that’s ever been made. It is spot. On. In both regards.
So, yeah. Don’t expect to laugh outloud like every minute. The show is amazingly silly in its premise ONLY. Everything else is dead serious…and that’s kind of genius.
Coco is being a loaf right now, pressed up against me. Tonight, we’ve decided she’s cinnamon bread with raisins. The swirl kind that you put in the toaster and slather with butter. Mmmmmm. Coco, you’re delicious.
I’ve had an insanely productive week. My best week in over a month. That’s satisfying. I want to keep it up. I want to plow through this coming rewrite, and I want to fucking get this book finished and move on.
The weekend is here, which is why it felt like staying up to watch the rest of the show was doable. I get to sleep in tomorrow, take it easy for the next couple days, and get ready for another week of work next week.
I hope you all had a nice Friday 🙂
