The View From Here – Catching Up
September 28, 2021 3:15 pmOh hey. How are you? As Joey from Friends would say “How you doin’?” And yes, I’m smiling as I say it. 
I love this time of year. I love the colours that are becoming more and more vibrant. I love the cooler temperatures. Hoodies and snuggling up in a blanket. I went for a walk last night and came across chestnuts. Anybody else remember collecting them? Chestnut fights? Because I do. They used to be impossible to find. Now they are scattered all over the sidewalk. A long forgotten game. Kinda sad in a way.
I read today that one of the latest trends to come from TikTok is “Meg Ryan Fall”. I saw the headline this morning and thought it was a poorly worded sentence.
Turns out, it’s a thing. Inspired by TikTok users. People are using the characters Meg Ryan has portrayed in movies like When Harry Met Sally.
You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle, and using the “outfits” to inspire their fall fashion choices. Baggy sweaters and trousers, the colours, everything. And “Meg Ryan Fall” goes beyond the clothes. There are Meg Ryan Playlists, book recommendations and recipes too! That’s just kinda fun.
I adore Meg Ryan and loved her in all those movies. When Harry Met Sally might be my favourite. And she did have the most adorable outfits in those movies.
So I may hop on that band wagon. And maybe “borrow” some of her style for inspiration for myself.
Netflix says that the first season of “Bridgerton” was its most-watched TV series EVER with 82 million subscribers tuning in for at least two minutes in its first 28 days on the service. French series “Lupin: Part 1″ and season one of “The Witcher,” tied for second on the list, with 76 million accounts. Among movies, the action film “Extraction” made the top spot. The film about a captured CIA agent was watched by 99 million accounts in the first 28 days. “Bird Box,” and the action-comedy “Spenser Confidential” were the second- and third-most popular films.
I can honestly say I’ve never seen Bridgerton. Well, more accurately, I didn’t make it past the first 10 minutes.
What show have you never seen, but everybody else seems to love? I’m just counting down the days to Tiger King 2. (kidding. kinda)
I’m spending most of my free time at Grey Sloan Memorial, Genoa City or with the BAU. (Criminal Minds) Some shows just never go out of style.
Hope you’re doing alright – thanks for hanging out and thank you for listening.
As always – reach out anytime –
