random thoughts – Day 1,116 – (Friday) – Transatlantic binge

It’s been a long week. Lately they all feel like long weeks, but this most recent one felt especially grueling. There were frustrating tech issues and a crazy workload topped with weird dreams and fitful sleep. 

Today's tech warfare involved the office printer, and later, the paper cutters. There were paper jams, a series of other issues, and a lot of colorful cussing. There are three paper cutters in the office and they are all awful. It took the cutters plus the scissors and hand cutting to get it done. What should have been a quick task before heading to a photo shoot took a couple hours spread across the day.

After arriving home tonight, I wanted nothing more than to park it on the couch. It was ramen for supper because something hot and quick was needed. The day was colder than dressed for and the walk from the office to the garage left me chilled. I didn't even have the energy to fancy up the ramen. It was chicken picante flavor made with water and nothing else. 

While eating ramen on the couch, a new Netflix binge obsession was tuned in. It’s Transatlantic, in which “Two Americans and their allies form a scrappy rescue operation in 1940 Marseilles to help artists, writers and other refugees fleeing Europe.” Since turning it on at 6:00 tonight and for the next three hours, I’ve been glued to the screen. Just wow. 

Gillian Jacobs in Transatlantic.

One of the leads, and the only actor I recognize in this one is Gillian Jacobs, who I liked in the series Love several years ago. But all the cast in Transatlantic is good. I’m in love with the women’s costuming, because the styles of the 40s are amazing. The suits! The trousers! The blouses. 

But for now, gotta run. My show is on.
