Suzanne Recommends Things

Went to the cutest local organic nursery today to pick up some plants and seeds and can't wait for sunny spring days in the garden!!🥹🌸

Promotional poster for the movie Penelope. A girl hiding the bottom half of her face with a scarf and at the top of the poster, three small images of people: a man with a rose, a girl and a woman.

Penelope!! The perfect (and imo highly underrated) romcom with a good dash of whimsy!✨🌸

Forest Gump is such a funny example because truly, there is nothing there besides nostalgia in terms of rewatch value. I watched it only a couple years ago and it was hard to get through and I'm never rewatching it. Meanwhile there are plenty of recent movies I've already rewatched several times 😂

I love Qobuz. They give you a free transfer of your spotify library. Setting things up was really quick for me!

Deezer was missing a lot of my library and I didn't like the app design. But I think the recommendations are better there!

Back cover of Taylor Swifts album Evermore. The background is a field, with woods behind it. Taylor Swift is standing on the right in a long coat. The tracklist is on the left: - Willow - Champagne Problems - Gold Rush - 'tis The Damn Season - Tolerate it - No Body, No Crime (feat Haim) - Happiness - Dorothea - Coney Island (feat The National) - Ivy - Cowboy like me - Long Story Short - Marjorie - Closure - Evermore (feat Bon Iver) Bonus tracks - Right where you left me - It's time to go

JADE - Natural At Disaster (Orchestral Version - Amazon Music Original) YouTube video by JADEVEVO

Anything from JADE's debut album That's Showbiz Baby! but especially this particular orchestral rendition of Natural at Disaster.

Interesting!!

I'm a big lyrics-first listener.
I occasionally like 'music' music but I get bored of them real quick and they never really stay with me.

All my favorite music comes from singer songerwriters! Do you look also more towards producers when you look for new music, then?

I am this 🤏🏻 close to opening a video rental at all times.

My local library doesn't have DVD's anymore, streaming is an expensive disaster and I wish I could share my awesome DVD collection.

Not to yum your yuck but to me those are different. Overconsumption is an action. Overconsumption core is someone trying to make an aesthetic or lifestyle around overconsumption, usually online.

Just like there is a difference between a farmer (work) and farmer core (an aesthetic).

Oh absolutely! I mean... Simon Baker...

What show is ever going to top that.

With High Potential and Matlock rn I feel like we might be close to a renaissance

(And in the meantime I'm collecting the ones from the Mentalist high time on DVD, they are SO rewatchable!!)

Yeah we are not having the best time this Olympics so far 🫣

You French guys are doing quite nicely so far!!👍

No, I'm Dutch! He ended up with nothing, unfortunately. He was skating for silver or bronze before another skater hindered him.

He was allowed to do the whole race again just half an hour later, but he didn't have the strength anymore to skate another medal time race.

Emotional rollercoaster!

One of our speed skating guys has to do a re-race and all these commentators with lumps in their throats have me 😭

Ahh reading this in pain!! That one is top of my wishlist and I have never seen it anywhere.

I adore the dramatics of Olympics commentators, such a vibe

A promitional poster showing Penelope with a scarf hiding half her face and a the top three small images of other characters in the mvoie: a man, a young woman and an older woman.

Penelope, my favorite romcom!

Oh my gosh, have fun!!✨🌸

What (or who!) are you guys following this Winter Olympics? I'm watching speed skating, figure skating and womens ice hockey. With some curling and bobsleigh here and there.

But I'm open to recommendations of cool people or particular events to add to my schedule!!

JADE - THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY! The Visual Album (Official Visualiser) YouTube video by JADE

JADE's album That's Showbiz Baby!

The visual album might help you get into it even more: youtu.be/Bmsj0TFyegc?...

But the 'encore' tracks she released later on (especially Church) are brilliant as well! (And not included in the visual album)

I need both of those sweaters!!!

I second Qobuz! A breath of fresh air after using Spotify.

Dit lijkt me verouderde informatie? De catalogus is van vergelijkbare groote als Deezer.

Ik luister voornamelijk naar pop, folk en indie (veelal kleinere artiesten). Qobuz had meer van mijn muziek dan Deezer, bij het overzetten van mijn Spotify afspeellijsten.

Als er iets is wat ik mis van mijn kindertijd is het wel de lokale speel-o-theek waar je van allerlei leuk speelgoed kon lenen en gewoon weer terug brengen als je er klaar mee was! Geniaal.

It's so good!! One of my favorite limited series. A level of intrigue I normally only get from books!

Couldn't agree more!! Once I even listened to a 3 hour podcast of someone attempting to summerize the entire fast and furious franchise to a group of friends. It was a delight. I still have never seen a minute of the movies, but I have relistened to the podcast. 😂

A photograph of two people in an office environment. On the left is a male detective with brown curls and stubbles. Next to him is standing a female with blonde hair and a coffeecup in her hands. They both stare at something off screen.

I just finished the Canadian detective show Motive and I loved it!! It didn't even end in a cliffhanger, such a good bingewatch.

Immediately added to my list of favorite procedurals: suzannerecommendsthings.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-...

Seriously, some people are supposed to live forever.

And she was one of them, dang it.
