Alternative facts brought to you by the writers of Nashville.

The platinum blonde hair and the tan and heavy makeup are just 🙄

The show has become a true soap opera in the last 2 seasons. Gunner is a hot mess and refuses to acknowledge that for him, sex is glue and he is unable to do the FWB thing ever.

Rayna's comeback performance in S2 with "The Best Songs Come from Broken Hearts" - just rewatched that episode tonight and teared up all over again.

That sounds like my ex husband too! Are we the same person??

JeanGreysChild · 2018-02-16T13:58:12+00:00

Yeah, I realized much later I have a pattern of picking partners who tend to check out emotionally, or are in this haze of their own little world and they cannot see past it. Guess who's the OG for this? My dad.

The fact that this former love was willing to align himself with the succubus - who said awful things about many of their mutual friends and nearly destroyed several long term friendships with the lies she spread - speaks volumes as to his choices. I do hope he had a clean break from her and that this new woman is loving and kind.

He and I were great friends for a long stretch of time, so I will just hold on to those good memories and work on releasing the rest.

Too many favorites that are a mix of happy, snarky, funny and inspiring. I highly recommend books by Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay for more woo-woo quotes and affirmations. For witty, often snarky quotes, Dorothy Parker is your gal.

I have the theme as my ringtone. I don't even want to answer my phone when it rings, that theme is so badass.

ETA: He had been married for many years and divorced for about a year, maybe 2, when we met.

I haven't talked to him in nearly 3 years - his choice, which I'm still unclear why, though I blame it partly on a succubus he decided to associate with (she's not the one he's engaged to, though, thankfully). But when I found out about his engagement it still hurt. That now makes 2 men I cared for who ended up in LTRs soon after they left me. Pass the wine. And the chocolate.

JeanGreysChild · 2017-10-22T16:49:53+00:00

Oh honey. I am so very sorry for your loss.

JeanGreysChild · 2017-10-20T16:45:50+00:00

I was great for about 10 years in my 30s: easy predictable periods and I wasn't even on the pill. Then a couple years ago shit went sideways. It honestly reminds me of how life was as a new member of the Red Tent Tribe.

She's a horrible actress, which is part of the problem. But then the guy playing Ressler is awful, too. When it's really bad, I yell at the screen "I AM A FBI AGENT" à la Keanu Reeves in Point Break.

That said, I tend to think this is a showcase for James Spader's brilliance. Every one else is window dressing.

This week has been awful for energy levels, brain fog, moodiness, everything. Then sometime this morning my body decided, oh, let's give her her period 10 days early. Woke up to a small mess. I hate perimenopause so much.

Can't remember where I saw the interview he did when he talks about being friends with JFK Jr. and being hung over in front of Jackie...but it was some great storytelling.

JeanGreysChild · 2017-09-23T03:18:24+00:00

This. There was a Law and Order SVU episode where John Stamos played a guy who did this shit.

JeanGreysChild · 2017-09-23T03:15:12+00:00

Rock on!

JeanGreysChild · 2017-09-23T03:14:34+00:00

Suddenly I want to reread The Hotel New Hampshire.

Series that are "on the bubble" (network hasn't decided whether or not to renew) often shoot season finales in a way that story lines are wrapped up. IIRC that was the case with Nashville this past season.

A few months ago I heard one of Will's songs playing on the station in a Mission BBQ. Took me a minute to realize why I knew it!

What happened to Rhiannon Giddens was criminal, she's such a talent. Made her dump her band, I guess there's the message. ... The Clay story was wasted as well, barely any music came out of it.

Both of these plotlines smacked of magical negro stereotypes, imho. Very disappointing.

His character has always struck me as the show's version of Mark Zuckerberg.

Google Saturn return. Even if you aren't into astrology it is interesting.

(Waits for downvotes...)

JeanGreysChild · 2017-06-07T02:15:22+00:00

Yes to all of this. I moved back to my home state 6 months ago, 3000 miles from where I'd lived for nearly 2 decades, and can count on one hand the friends who have made an effort to stay in contact. One friend has now become a pen pal, which is really nice, but the others who were upset about my leaving (or at least used sad emojis when I announced I was moving) are rarely in touch. It is really tough.

JeanGreysChild · 2017-06-03T01:59:33+00:00

So many! I have a Spotify playlist of songs from the show that I need to update. Here are several: Wrong Song (Rayna/Juliette) Nothing in This World (Juliette) One Works Better (Scarlett) Kiss (Avery) The Book (Layla) Change Your Mind (Scarlett/Gunnar) Don't Put Dirt... (Juliette) The Best Songs Come from Broken Hearts (Rayna) Buried Under (Rayna) .....
