Friday Five 6-9-2017

06.09.2017 by Tana Henry //

This is the twenty-ninth installment in my weekly series, called the Friday Five. In this series, I’ll tell you about five random things that I love, whether they be books, travel, music, movies…or whatever. So without further ado, 6-9-2017’s Friday Five!

1–Tom Petty Radio on XM. I enjoyed free XM week while we were traveling to/from Kansas, during an especially busy week of work with a lot of traveling, and over Memorial Day weekend. But I’ve especially been enjoying Tom Petty Radio. Woo hoo! A new way to listen to Petty’s music, as well as the music that he likes to listen to.

2–Captain Don’s Habitat, Bonaire. The Scuba Diver Girls visited the house reef at Captain Don’s Habitat and shot a bit of video while snorkeling. Great video, hope they spent some time diving there as well, as the reef gets even better deeper than what can be experienced snorkeling only. We loved diving there when we visited.

3–Hand of God. Have you heard of this show on Amazon Video? It stars Ron Perlman, and is really good. Throughout Season One, you are constantly wondering whether Perlman’s character is just crazy, or crazy like a fox. If you’re looking for a new show, I’d recommend checking this one out.

4–Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Seeking Librarian. I won’t be applying for this position, as my only qualifications would be a love of rock and roll. But it’s interesting nonetheless. And someplace that I certainly want to visit someday.

5–Photos of Moms before they were Moms. A friend of mine shared this essay on facebook, and I just loved it (as well as the accompanying photos). It’s sometimes tough, but also important to remember that people have unique identities that are separate and also tied into the identities or roles for which we know them.

Friday Five 5-27-2016

05.27.2016 by Tana Henry //

5This is the sixth installment in my new weekly series, called the Friday Five. In this series, I’ll tell you about five things that I love, whether they be books, travel, music, movies…or whatever. So without further ado, 5-27-2016’s Friday Five!

1–Duolingo. A friend of mine recently mentioned that he was using Duolingo to learn a language and really enjoyed it. Mike and I booked a trip to Guadeloupe, a French island in the Caribbean, so learning a bit of French seems like a good idea. And after a few days, I really like the (free) app. It’s simple, fun and I’m already 2% fluent in French.

2–Flamethrowing Guitar. Have you seen Mad Max Fury Road? If not, you really should! In any event, there is one particular character who plays a flamethrowing guitar on the front of one of the vehicles. It’s pretty crazy, because at the point when you first see this guy and this guitar, you realize that the movie soundtrack you’re hearing is also being heard by all of the characters in the movie. But it turns out that the flamethrowing guitar is REAL!! Check it out here.

3–Tim Ferriss. I read and enjoyed The Four Hour Workweek (check out my post on it here). This Freakonomics podcast (I know, I know, I keep including it, but I really do think it’s awesome) interviewed Tim Ferriss. So interesting.

4–Budapest by George Ezra. Such a great song. I recently downloaded it on Amazon Music and have been listening to it a lot. A great song if you have a bit of wanderlust.

5–The Americans on FX. This show is on Amazon Video. So good!

My name is Tana, and I am an attorney in South-Central Nebraska. I'm married to a great guy, named Mike, and have a dog named Emmy and a cat named Scout. I read as much as possible, and travel any chance I get. Luggage and Literature chronicles both. I hope you enjoy looking around! Please leave me a comment and tell me what you think.
