Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly meme hosted by Kimberley over at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer . I’m also going to link up with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and Reading Reality It’s Monday! What are your reading hosted by Book Date Sunday Salon hosted by Readerbuzz |
Hello everyone, have you all had a good week?
As quite frankly things are just going from bad to worse, I thought I’d share some funny and cute things I’ve came across this week down below.
Before I get there you will all be relieved to know that I still dislike the new blogger but I no longer hate it. I am giving it a chance to behave itself and so far it’s only pissed me off twice this week.
I was on Twitter getting the embed codes for the my posts below and I noticed that Michael Bay was trending, he is releasing a film called Songbird, set four years in the future where COVID-19 has mutated in to a nastier strain and there has been a lockdown lasting 4 years. I did not notice if Trump was in office, sorry about that. It has a lot of famous faces in it but I think I it is verging on really bad taste, people are still dying, losing loved one, their jobs, their homes - I hope if it does make money that it’s getting donated to causes that will help people effected by this.
Anyway on to funny stuff, I’m featuring my fave Janey Godley so consider this your sweary warning and hopefully you can understand as a lot of these videos take this piss out of Mr Trump.
Stay safe and have a good week x
Great videos! Thanks for the laughs! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome!
DeleteI like that cover for The Hollow Places, its perfect for the story!
ReplyDeleteIt’s very creepy!
DeleteI have been wanting to read Mexican Gothic for so long :) Happy Halloween
ReplyDeleteI’m looking forward to reading it!
DeleteGlad to hear your relationship with blogger is improving? And, well, Hollywood and the rest of the coastal elites can afford to make fun when they will never suffer like a lot of other people while they lecture everyone on how they should live and think. That's why I stopped watching movies and TV and have limited my social media time to about 15 minutes a day.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be, it’s not as bad as it was.
DeleteFifteen mins in social sounds very wise, it can toxic especially during these times. I’ve put limits on mine too along with my news app.
Ooh, Songbird definitely sounds in bad taste, way too soon to be thinking about something like that! We're still in it, and it's getting worse.
ReplyDeleteIt’s definitely in bad taste. I’ll give it a wide berth.
DeleteI missed this news about the new Michael Bay movie. It sounds in bad taste but Im definitely not surprised. People are profiting while thousands die.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded Hollow Places earlier this week. Can't wait to read it.
I’m horrified it’s been made. I’m looking forward to Hollow Places, hoping to read it soon.
DeleteEnjoyed the videos. thanks for sharing them. I'm also interesting in Mexican Gothic.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome!
DeleteI'm sorry things are getting more and more worse there. They really couldn't get much worse here. A high school near me this week closed down for two weeks when 22% of the students and teachers tested positive for covid.
ReplyDeleteHumor keeps me going. Thanks for sharing the humor you have found.
Books keep me going, too. Can't wait to see what you think about Mexican Gothic. I've thought about that one a lot.
Have a good week, Heather!
Humour is the best thing, The Office has been my go to show since I discovered it the other week, I’m now watching it for the second time, it’s hilarious!
DeleteI’m hoping to read Mexican Gothic soon, I’ve heard a lot of good!
We might be going into another full lockdown here if the numbers don't go down. The restaurants are closed already. I am happy to hear you're dealing a bit better with the new blogger, it's so annoying when things like that change, especially when it's not for the better. I hope you'll enjoy your new books! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOur district has gone in to a stricter lockdown, not quite full but not far off. Blogger seems to be behaving itself for the moment, hopefully it’ll last.
DeleteI agree that it is in very bad taste to be doing a film like that to cash in on the pandemic.Way too soon. I hope nobody watches it and it tanks! I find myself on average on Blogger maybe twice a week at the moment-one day to write blog posts, the other for catchup! I'm tolerating it rather than enjoying it...
ReplyDeleteI notice it’s not being advertised much, I can’t believe they made it.
DeleteI’m behind with everything on blogger I need to catch up.
Oooh no, why would anyone make a movie about a horrible pandemic during said pandemic? It's definitely bad taste. I never got to get over my loathing of the new Blogger, I just hopped off it and on to the free Wordpress train very fast. I wish I could like the new Blogger, but it just proved too difficult for me. Hopefully you'll soon love it, or at least it won't piss you off anymore. Thank you for the funny videos, I'm adding them to my watch list. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI just couldn’t bring myself to move, I was worried my posts would all need reformatted and just decided to grin and bear it. So far the last couple of weeks it’s been behaving!
DeleteYour books look tempting, and I'm now curious about Songbird, but not anxious to see something more about Covid!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
No maybe in twenty years time I might watch it out of curiosity but now it’s too soon.
DeleteJane Godley is hilarious, thanks for sharing that!
ReplyDeleteI have The Plague Letters to read, I like the look of The insomniac Society too.
I hope you see some improvement in virus numbers soon.
Wishing you a great reading week
Jane is brilliant, definitely puts a smile on face!
DeleteVirus figures unfortunately rising and we have stricter restrictions, hopefully that will help.
I'm glad to hear that you and Blogger are coming to an understanding, Heather. I hadn't heard about Michael Bay's film. I think it's waaay too early for a release like that. Once we have vaccines and people aren't dying, then maybe. But not now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the funnies. Hope you have a great week. x
It’s not been bad thankfully touch wood, I think it’s finally behaving!
DeleteIt’s far too early for the film but it hasn’t had much publicity that I can see so hopefully it’ll stay that way.
I agree that we all need some fun and happy things to take our minds off of the craziness. Can't wait for this election to be over (only if it goes the way I hope!!).

I’m all for humour at the moment, I find myself lost on YouTube looking at funny dog videos!
DeleteMy transition to the new blogger was not as painful as yours, somehow I adjusted fairly quickly. I hope it stays that way. The Insomniac Society caught my eye. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura!
DeleteI hope things improve for you, at least you are starting to work with Blogger. I will be glad to be done with the election here. Enjoy some great books and stay well!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I’m glad the election is over even if Trump disagrees!
DeleteNop, 4 year lockdown and a never-ending Covid-19 is a bad bad dream. I can't believe it's a movie someone made. Ugh - some way to make us feel even worse, considering it is bad enough. It would make sense if it was all a warning to everyone that this is what would happen if Trump were still in office - that I can get behind.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week! Hope we all have a good week. I am keeping my fingers crossed and letting through happy thoughts with the hope that it all ends well.
I can’t believe they did it too, it’s such bad taste. Thankfully Trump is heading out of the office! Yay!
DeleteI’m glad America got the right result, hopefully Joe and Kamala can start working their magic.
Love the videos... the 4 years from now is a scary thought, but I am also not sure that things will ever go back to normal.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
I don’t think they will, I think this has been a wake up call of sorts, I’m not sure what will happen in the years to come.
DeleteYeah, I'm not thrilled with the new Blogger platform, but I had to switch over as it wouldn't let me revert any longer. Oh well. No major issues yet.
ReplyDeleteI think the Michael Bay film might be interesting given the times we live in. I watched Contagion and even though it was made like 10-13 years ago it was soooo like what we went through at the beginning. It was eerily similar! Freaked me and my daughter the heck out!
I’ve got used to blogger, it’s not perfect but it’s better than it was.
DeleteI’ve never seen Contagion though I do remember watching the one with Dustin Hoffman and the monkey, it was scary. I should maybe seek out Contagion.
That sounds like very bad taste for the movie. Hard pass on that one when it eventually comes out. Glad you're not hating the new Blogger. Dislike is much better! Maybe you'll get to vaguely tolerating at some point. I don't do enough with it to really hate it but I'm more just mystified by the changes they've made. They just don't make sense to me. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteDislike is definitely better, I think the dislike has change to very mild dislike now! I’ll get there, it could be a lot worse!
DeleteI'm glad you were able to make some peace with Blogger! I'm still having serious issues unfortunately, it's almost all-out war for me lol. I'm loving the Godley comments!
ReplyDeleteI’m just trying to be zen with it rather than swearing at it, it may not last of course!
DeleteMexican Gothic was a good one. I plan on reading Severance at some point. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI’m looking forward to Mexican Gothic, it gets good reviews.
DeleteOMG Heather I fear going to Scotland one day! I understand only 70% of what she is saying LOL
ReplyDeleteLove it! We don’t all sound like that believe me! That’s not even too bad there are some people with stronger accents than that!
DeleteI'm still not thrilled with Blogger either. Like you, I'm trying to give it a chance. Hopefully it will get better over time.
ReplyDeleteI think will get better, it’s just a pain they changed it.
DeleteI've been on the hold list for Mexican Gothic at the library so long, I'm about to give up and buy my own copy too. I'm glad you're making your starting to make your peace with the new Blogger.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
I got it for 99p on an Amazon daily deal so I snagged it!
