All around the world, people everywhere are facing a similar situation. Most of us are facing a lockdown, either working from home or temporarily out of work and/or school, unless we're one of the essential workers on the front lines (a big thank you to all the healthcare professionals, grocery store and gas station employees, truck drivers, warehouse workers, garbage collectors, postal service workers, delivery drivers, and anyone else I may have missed who are still out there working hard to keep everyone alive). That means we likely have much more free time than we did a few weeks ago. So how are you spending your time?
I've been writing, listening to some great educational podcasts, signed up for some free online courses, doing some reading, played some video games, spending lots of time with my husband, my son, and my dogs, and I've been rewatching some of my old favorite shows. That's when I started thinking: why not blog about it? I don't know how long we're going to be quarantined for, but I know it'll be for at least another month. I work in a school and I know that more and more states have been making the decision to close schools for the remainder of the school year, which means I could be looking at the stay-at-home lifestyle until August. That means plenty of time to catch up on old hobbies and make some new ones.
I'm planning to start a rewatch of some of my favorite shows and blog about my opinions. I already own most on dvd, but there are also several places you can find them online if you want to join me on this little adventure. Since this will be a rewatch, I want to warn you now: there WILL be spoilers! Follow along at your own risk!
I'm thinking that the first show I'll likely rewatch is Robin Hood (the BBC version that aired from 2006-2009). Other shows that may follow that one include Firefly, Farscape, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dawson's Creek, Smallville, Charmed, etc. I can't guarantee what order I'll go in or that I'll cover all of them and I may add some different shows into the mix instead. I'm pretty much just going to watch what I want, when I want, and may even post reviews for more than one show simultaneously. This is, first and foremost, about keeping myself entertained and sane while trapped in my house for months on end, so I'm going to watch and write about whatever makes me happy. If reliving happy memories from your favorite shows is something you'd like to do while you're in quarantine, come and join me! It will be fun! Just bring your own popcorn.
And remember folks: stay home, stay safe, and practice social distancing! We'll get through this together by staying apart.
