Keeping up with a ridiculously long-standing tradition.
Current clothes: Blue jeans. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy t-shirt, with matching socks. Because I may be a dork, but, today at least, I am a well-coordinated dork.
Current mood: Pretty good. There are any number of things I could feel unreasonably stressed about, but mostly I'm maintaining my equanimity pretty well. I do feel a little bit rushed at the moment, though. I could use an extra hour or two before I have to leave for work. Ah, well.
Current music: Nothing in particular.
Current annoyance: Amazingly enough, nothing big comes to mind! Not that there aren't a thousand small or long-term things I could complain about. Like having to work for a living. Or the fact that one of my dorky socks seems noticeably smaller than the other.
Current thing: Binge-listening to the Imaginary Worlds podcast. (I'm up to September of 2016.) Trying to stay on top of various responsible-adult things that, sadly, need to get done. Still playing Fallen London. (Although my character's a lot more powerful now, I still don't know what's going on. But it's fun. Except for how I keep getting driven insane by nightmares. Or attacked by bees...)
Current desktop picture: I went back to the Twelfth Doctor. Although I feel like I should go for something new.
Current book: The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande.
Current song in head: A minute ago it was "Total Eclipse of the Heart," I think because I was reading about last year's solar eclipse recently.
Current refreshment: I have french fries in the oven. Soon I will have chicken tenders and fries. Because I am a grown-ass woman, and that means I can eat like a toddler when I want to.
Current DVD in player: Well, it was supposed to be the last disk of season 1 of Alias, a show I finally started watching after vaguely intending to for a ridiculously long time. But the disk stopped playing, and the series isn't available streaming (well, OK, it's on Amazon, but not through Prime, so I would have had to pay extra for it), so now I have to wait for Netflix to replace the DVD for me.
Current happy thing: I finally saw the new Star Wars this weekend, so now people can finally stop asking me whether I've seen it yet. I liked it reasonably well, too, which is always good.
Current thought: "I liked it reasonably well" is, I'm afraid, pretty much the only thing I have to say about the new Star Wars, other than observing that Mark Hamill is a much better actor now than he was forty years ago.

Good to see your currently still going. I enjoyed Star Wars more than I probably should have and agree with Mark Hamill comment. Especially when you know how he didn't like what he was having to act through, but made the character believable as a crusty old man living out his life in the sea wastes.
ReplyDeleteI can understand not liking it, but, yes, I think he did a very good job of making it feel quite believable.
DeleteI think The Last Jedi might actually be my favorite Star Wars movie, to be honest. And Hamill's performance was no small part of that.
ReplyDeleteI also really loved Alias when it was on, though more in the show's early going, when it was a lot of fun. I might be due for a re-watch.
I'm not 100% sure what I think about Alias so far -- so much of the plot stuff is so ridiculous -- but I'm finding it very watchable, with some interesting characters and an overall arc that holds my attention surprisingly well.
