Let It Be Sunday, March 29, 2015!

Let It Be Sunday

Hello friends!

We’re well into this Sunday and it feels all the way like Spring.  I hope your brunch table runneth over.

I’ve been in Nashville this week eating everything I can get my hands on and wearing cowboy boots like I know what I’m doing.  I don’t… I barely know what I’m doing, but the boots help with the confidence.

This week has been a lot, hasn’t it?  Here is what’s what.

•  Germanwings flight 9525.  “When one person is responsible for 150 lives, it is more than just suicide.”  From Slate.

•  We work from home, hang out with out cats, take pictures of our home coffee, watch HBO Go while we blog and email and order gluten-free crackers on Amazon.  Is it true?  Are we The Shut-In Economy?

•  Let’s go ahead and opt out of everything.  Opting out of group texts and reply-all emails being the most important of all.

•  The perfect bean to save the hot and hungry planet.

•  Mariel Hemingway on Woody Allen.  It’s important.

•  Feminist Ben and Jerry’s flavors.  Because.

•  Tim Cook on running Apple.  Also, he plans to give away all his wealth after he pays for his nephews college education.

•  Meerkat app and Periscope.  What in the world is going on?  No, seriously.  Are we going to be ok?

•  Our president + The Wire creator David Simon.

•  Remember when your parents had “The Talk” with you?  Ugh.  From NYMag:  Let’s Talk Frankly About Sex.

•  Just in case you need to see everything Don Draper wore on Mad Men.

•  The X-Files.  Come on BACK!

Have the most lovely day!  Don’t let the Sunday night stresses get atcha.  Wine and pudding help.  Wine and chocolate pudding.

xo Joy

    The Shut-In Economy article was one of the most interesting articles I have read in a long time. I usually skim through your links but this one made me stop what I was doing to really get into it. Itll give me pause next time I use Amazon prime to buy my dog’s food. Thanks for sharing!

    I hate running all over the place looking for something when a click on Amazon is so easy, but the shut in article did give me pause.

    That Shut In article was very very interesting! Some times I feel guilty for all the online ordering etc. but there’s nothing worse than wasting an hour running an errand only to find out the store doesn’t have what you want. I’ll take that hour at home with my son, thanks lol. It’s all about whatever works for you I suppose.

    I adore David Simon! I’m currently on season 2 of the awesome Treme. Only made it through 3 seasons of The Wire, but Homicide is one of my very favorite shows ever.

    The “Shut In Economy” article makes me feel like we are living in the world on Wall-E.

    Oh man, such a big week filled with bright spots and downers for sure. The shut in economy is definitely something to think about.

    Mariel Hemingway on Wood Allen Bravo for printing that story Joy. Genius or devil, they go hand in hand at times. Power can be used in so many different ways, too bad Mr. Allen among many other celebrities choose to use it on poor innocents who blindly see them as mentors or gods. Mr. Allen in the end will meet his maker and hopefully the gates of hell will open and put him where he belongs. Justice comes but sometimes too late but it does come. Have a great week, nice post.
