Mark your calendars: The release of Catastrophe’s fourth season is just one week away on March 15th. The show follows an Irish teacher (Sharon Horgan) living in London as she falls for an American advertising exec — and all their ups and downs as they build a life together. It’s so funny, even just seeing Rob Delaney’s giant head, above, makes me laugh out loud.
Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde makes clouds in unexpected places, using just smoke and water vapor. Something is so moving about them, don’t you think? They have such childlike personalities but are so vulnerable and ethereal.
Have you read anything good lately? I’ve been tearing through My Sister, the Serial Killer. Part thriller, part dark comedy, the pulpy plot keeps me up late reading every night. The book is a “scorpion-tailed little thriller,” says the New York Times; and Marie Claire calls it “the wittiest and most fun murder party you’ve ever been invited to.”
We are having some friends over this Sunday morning, and we’re been brainstorming something sweet for everyone to nibble on. Any recommendations? I’m leaning toward this chocolate banana bread, which seems surprisingly easy and uses mostly pantry ingredients.
P.S. More fun things, and three great books.
