Introverts' Night Out

The introverts are in their happy place and Virginia is slowly converting to one of us. But all the book ordering has brought us to the age old question- how do you organize your shelves? Fat stacks, tumbling towers or your own mini bookstore (yes we are pointing at you, Amanda.)

 

It’s a bookish look at our shared hoarding.

Virginia's pandemic movie choices raise some questions, so we're digging in to entertainment we're choosing when we can't leave home. Amanda goes for comfort picks, Judy is distracted, Virginia is gaming, and Steph has some reading recs to keep us all happy.

The Introverts are social distancing, and desperately trying to find ways to manage their stress levels. We run through the symptoms of our seasonal allergies, and all the other ways we're surviving the quarantine, from checking temps to tracking projections and going a teensy bit overboard with the lysol. Check in with us and let us know how you're doing, too!

Say it with me now. Deep Breath. "No." It's not an easy thing to say. We on the introvert couch have a hard time saying "no" sometimes. Now we're saying "no" to that and embracing the power of saying "no." So come listen to our anecdotes about how we're starting to say no, as well as the times it gets hard to say no. A few life lessons we tackle on along the way: Life is too short for bad beer, You don't need all the free tote bags, Smiling doesn't come with cash, and No Soliciting signs are binding contracts.

Let’s face it: election years are stressful. Amanda’s trying to kick her donation habit (or at least stop donating accidentally), Judy doesn’t want your unsolicited advice, Virginia’s planning a move to Winterfell and a lot of horror gaming, while Stephanie’s going to lobby for reboots of all her favorite properties. Virginia and Judy have tips on getting their news, AND keeping their sanity.

It’s another Introverts Salute to one of our favorite literary leading ladies, Saoirse Ronan . . . but this one takes a lot of twists and turns.  A fight breaks out over Amanda’s favorite movie, Steph tells us about her first exposure to Twilight, Virginia’s list of movies to watch is growing by leaps and bounds, but one is definitely not going to make the cut, and Judy breaks down Elizabethan history. Can we get Saoirse is a good vamp movie, please? Until then, she’s our Jo March forever.

Get ready for your cortisone shots and put your heels on! The Introvert's re-watched Leap Year and have some opinions. Some of us loved it, others (Virginia) made lists, but we all agree that Matthew Goode could always make plans with us. It's not the worst Rom-Com and it's still a joy to watch. However, we do question several Amy Adams' life choices and ability to walk in heels. 

We also discuss Amanda's proposal plans for strangers, Virginia's bickering with a jeweler, Judy's love story, and Stephanie shares Irish and Scottish knowledge. Slainte!

Somehow, we've been doing this little podcast gig for a year! We're reflecting on our hits and misses: our favorite moments, how podcasting helps us connect, that one lost episode, and how we sabotaged our one shot at sponsorship. Plus, we tell the story of how we got started. The whole thing might have been a mistake that just got out of hand.

It’s that time of year again- Happy Galentines Day! We are talking our favorite romantic books, why we like romcoms and our top recommendations. And of course we get a bit distracted.

Hollywood's biggest night is finally here, but are we here for it? We reminisce about a Sales Conference Oscar dinner (chocolate statues, what?!), what films we wish were included and of course, our predictions! Amanda holds strong that the Red Carpet is humanity's biggest shortfall and how Best Sweater is a legit category (thank you Knives Out costume department!). Stephanie is tired of the same old BS and ruined her brother's childhood favorite. Judy will be asleep before the event begins, especially since she's been stuck in a Toy Story movie loop. 

Most importantly, we share some love for Little Women and how Beth is the one our hearts will go on for.
