Today is the Catrinas Parade. We'll see how long my Zoloft lasts. I will not get my face painted. I will watch in wonder at all those who do. I have extra people to talk to these days of the dead. I haven't let Lisa go yet. My dad will always be complicated and the same with Jeff. Jerry and Bill are more sad than anything. Tommy is deep sadness and extreme anger. There's a lot to release and this is time for it. Maybe this year will finally be the time that I forgive Tim for shutting me out from his death.

I have also been tasked with providing background on Jay who was taken from me on the same day as Tim. I would love to pass on this but it's important. I am the best witness to a life that needs to be remembered. 

ETA: Painted.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): What an incredible Cinderella story

A Course Called Ireland

Please describe your idea of a perfect date! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, October 25!

Our Top Pick tonight is A Course Called Ireland (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). This docuseries finds Bill Murray in Ireland playing golf, taking in the scenery, and being a celebrity with the locals. Reviews said it is pretty apparent Murray didn't like several parts of the show, which always hoists him into the celebrity spotlight.

Elsewhere, Cynthia Erivo was Live from London, the Alexander Brothers are Wolves, Animal Control is under HR review, Grimsburg has a new cyborg, Treasure Island is a game, Shudder has awards, and the Simpsons are in a Treehouse of Horror.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Sacrebleu! Le Maître Voleur Lupin Renoue Avec Ses Vieilles Habitudes!

Lupin

Another week, another Friday stuffed with worthy premieres.  Top Pick goes to the fourth season (part) of Netflix's Lupin.  Omar Sy stars as Assane, a master thief who has modeled himself after the fictional Lupin and finds himself constantly caught up in shenanigans that often mirror the Lupin books.  It's a fun, breezy, caper show and Sy is a very winning presence. I recommend watching the previous seasons first if you are a newbie, but the seasons are only 5-8 episodes each so it won't take you long.

Among the runner ups we have the premiere of Newlyweds, which has one of the most over qualified casts for a network multi-cam sitcom in recent memory.  We also have the premiere of sexy mystery involving witches show Yaga.  Add onto that the streaming premiere of The Invite and another Hallmark Christmas movie and you've got a lot to choose from.  And I didn't even mention Battle of the Streaming Stars (because it looks terrible)!  

⭐💎 Lupin (Netflix 3:01 AM) PART FOUR. 'Four years after the events of Part 3, Assane (Omar Sy) is still in prison. He has left his life as "Lupin" behind and plans to finish his sentence so he can move to Senegal with his family. Assane's peaceful plans are ruined when a mysterious criminal announces and executes simultaneous museum robberies using the Lupin name. Security footage seemingly places Assane inside one of the museums during a heist where Captain Belkacem is seriously hurt. To prove his innocence and find the impostor challenging him at his own game, Assane is forced to break out of prison and become Lupin once more.'
