Weekly Wrap Up (May 28 - June 3)


I think we have a topic of what are you listening too, what are you reading off site, but do we have one of what are you watching? Well let me know here :) 

Personally this weekend I watched a series, 2 seasons, called Ragnarok. It is dubbed into English from Danish as I like to watch and listen to a show, not read it. That is what books are for, right? :P It is an interesting take on Norse Mythology put into modern day settings. So if you sez to yourself, great another super hero movie about Thor, scratch that from your mind. This is more true to Norse Mythology than a superhero MMU film.  I wonder if @Timothy M. plays Magne or maybe even Laurits ;) Not having a huge knowledge of Norse mythology, for some reason it seems more realistic in a modern day series. It does have a bit of climate change storyline, so let that be a forewarning. 

Now it is your turn :yes: 

While I was watching tv, many others were busy doing up the GA News Blogs over the week.

Monday was our CSR Discussion Day:

On Thursday, Val took us on a psychedelic Flash Back to the 2017. I think I was 25 back in 2017 :unsure: Maybe I'm the only one on psychedelics here.

Were any of you others thinking of a gorgeous dark haired guy from Sweden in Roxette, when Aditus brought us the two new prompts this week?

Saturday, Comicality brought a new article using the name from a famous book's characters. One that I haven't read :o 

On the Words of the Day: Sunday was langur. Monday was languor. Tuesday was enchilada. Wednesday was all about turbit. Thursday was ripsaw. Friday was a two meaning word, rummy. Finally an interesting discussion on Saturday about jaywalk

  1. Man In Motion by Mark Arbour **Complete** @Gary L said, "For those of us who were adults in the 80’s this powerful AIDS/HIV-dominated story will resonate strongly.. And yet, the more dominant theme is love in all of its torturous glory. This isn’t the easiest book in the CAP series but deserves a 5***** rating like the others. Magnificent writing.

I'll have to check out Ragnarok, so thanks for the recommendation.  Although anything with Thor in it is okay for me :P  I started watching a German series called The Gryphon.  It's pretty good so far, but I'm not too far into the series yet.

A list of shows and films I've watched lately:

Joyride (2022), starring Olivia Colman

Penguin Bloom (2020)

Sweet Tooth (2021 - ongoing)

Young Royals (2021 - ongoing)

Lyle, Lyle Crocodile (2022)

Billy Elliot (2000)

My son, Max, has been choosing most of the TV these days. Well, except for Young Royals. Morgan and I watch that after Max goes to bed, since it's too mature for an 11-year-old.  :gikkle:

I didn't think I would like this, but it kept popping up as a match for me on Amazon Prime. Well, I caved and watched it and I'm glad I did. This movie has a remarkably interesting take on Norse mythology.

Most of my watching is via BBC i-player, so UK only.  Although most of it is probably available through some streaming service or another. Shetland is one of my current go-tos. Police procedural / mystery based on Shetland. The cases are pretty good, but another big attraction is the Shetland Isles in all their moody, changeable glory.

I haven't actually watched Ragnarok, so I don't know how well it portrays Nordic Mythology. Maybe I should give it a try.
