Culture I Consumed Halloween Weekend

Finished Where'd You Go, Bernadette, a book I put on my to-read list so long ago, I couldn't remember why it was there. Then I finished it and read that the author wrote for Arrested Development, among other shows. I really liked it. The story was good, and I kept wishing I was original enough to have those kinds of hilarious little (little in the best way) observations on life. I do NOT recommend the audiobook, as the actor reading it is horrible. It's as though she doesn't speak English but can pronounce the words perfectly phonetically, but with emphasis in all the wrong places. Kathleen Wilhoite, whom I recognized as Luke's crazy sister from Gilmore Girls, in case you're wondering. Also, it's a weird format for audio. You'll see.
 

Saw Salt N Peppa in concert. Excuse me--saw a "Salt N Peppa Experience," which I'm assuming came about because they have about 5 songs anyone would recognize so they pad the show by testing the audience's "old school hip hop" cred by asking us to sing along to such deep cuts as "Tricky" by Run DMC. It totally worked on me. Quite possibly* broke my ankle walking from dinner to the show.

 
Started watching Casual on Hulu. So weird and good. 

Started re-reading Where'd You Go, Bernadette. Wanted to process some things that I didn't quite understand the first time knowing what I know now. You know?

*I didn't break my ankle. 

It's more like I jammed it, like a jammed finger. Is that a thing?
