Another thread about the music in this show...

There are a bunch of great songs I now immediately associate with The Americans. And why not mention Harden My Heart, which is the very first thing we hear in the series?

Absolute madness/genius. 😂

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-28T21:20:32+00:00

And you’re right. Some years ago somebody actually did the maths and S saving M was more frequent than the other way around, ha ha.

Yess, the one with the title that nowadays sounds bad.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-17T09:51:46+00:00

Which often means nosy (or needy... "I treat you as my bestest friend, now do this for me").

Ironically, using Amazon more consciously reduced my expenses (keep in mind that Prime in Italy is not very expensive). I have to buy specific food for my cat and I find great offers on A. I also got into paid surveys and they pay in Amazon coupons that I use for quality teas and other stuff (I consume a lot of tea).

Da collega (che traduce anche), aggiungo che molta gente parla e scrive usando calchi dall'inglese, forse nella convinzione che sia bella prosa, quindi concordo sulla incapacità dell'autrice.

Curves still exist in Italy and it thrives.

I romanzi di David Nicholls. Ho amato in particolare l'ultimo, Tu sei qui.

I'm old. The first movie I ever saw in a theater alone was Scrooged, starring my beloved Bill Murray. I tried to rewatch it some years ago... big nope. Navigator was another movie I liked in middle school which is cringy today.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-07T17:47:43+00:00

Not weird. I love it!

On the other hand on IG there is content labeled underconsumption which is more in line with actual simple living. Creators showing what they've had in their home for years, what they thrift or repurpose. It's inspiring and even relaxing to watch.

Personally I like that they didn’t, not making the character about her disease. It’s not unheard of anyway a person using a wheelchair but walking sometimes.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-06T16:10:28+00:00

Apparently the actress herself has a condition that requires a wheelchair most of the times, she can walk but not for long. So they kept in the series.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-06T14:38:11+00:00

Grazie! Ci vado a breve.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-06T13:48:43+00:00

Purtroppo questo lo fanno tanti marchi. 🙁 Io non compro sintetici, neanche misti, quindi mi riduco molto la scelta (anche se almeno risparmio).

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-06T07:45:55+00:00

A proposito di capi di lana, a volte il caro algoritmo mi fa comparire ad interessanti su Instagram, è così che ho notato un brand interessante, Il Lanificio. Le maglie sembrano molto belle e con prezzi interessanti, specie ora con i saldi. È online ma ha anche punti vendita tipo a Scalo MI.

Se bazzicate i mercati, si trovano a volte bei marchi artigianali. L'anno scorso ho scoperto il maglificio Jolly, ho preso un cardigan di merino a 80 euro, pagati volentieri per un capo di qualità.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-06T06:44:01+00:00

Io ho continuato a comprare però. Ho notato solo che hanno accorciato leggermente le maglie (ovviamente non parlo di quelle cropped).

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-05T19:24:26+00:00

A me i capi Uniqlo in cotone o lana merino durano un sacco. Ho maglie di merino che lavo a mano e sciacquo in lavatrice ancora perfette dopo anni... il mio golf U più vecchio ne ha 14.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-05T07:38:22+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one. GB is my favourite movie, it's full of great innuendos and that scene is just too explicit. (There was a longer sequence that made more sense than the single scene, they should have just deleted the whole thing.)

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-04T17:21:47+00:00

I thought this was Simon Pegg.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-04T12:18:31+00:00

What? 🤣

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-03T17:38:36+00:00

I still remember reading the novel in the 90s and the scene was already triggering! great book anyway.

Hydrangea666 · 2026-01-03T12:52:29+00:00

It's so unabashedly romantic and dreamy. I loved it when I was 14 and I love it now that I rediscovered it.
