This is way later in the month than I usually do this. I'm not dead, I promise! I just seem to have had very little time for anything lately. I've been working long hours, and when I'm not working, I'm trying to catch up on the giant to-do list of things that have that piled up while I was working, or else I'm completely out of energy because I've been spending all day running around trying to catch up on the to-do list.
Current clothes: Gray sweatpants. A t-shirt that says, "Screw reality, I'm going to the bookstore," which might just be my new official motto. White socks.
Current mood: Somewhat better, as it's a relief to finally get some time off. But also kind of tired. From, y'know, running around all day trying to catch up on the to-do list.
Current music: Nothing at the moment, really.
Current annoyance: There are many, but primarily the aforementioned lack of time. Including the fact that I woke up today determined to Do All The Things, and instead have only done a few of the things, because most of the things seem to have taken at least twice as long as they ought to have. Sigh.
Current thing: I just listened to the entire backlog of the Lexicon Valley podcast -- about a hundred episodes -- in the course of, I dunno, maybe about three weeks. Except for the most recent episode, which I turned off because it was going to have spoilers for a movie I haven't seen yet.
Current desktop picture: Still this lovely bookish image.
Current book: Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson, which is sort of a novelization of the Rush album of the same name. It's... not good.
Current song in head: Well, snippets of Rush songs keep popping in there, because Mr. Anderson thinks he's incredibly clever for constantly working them awkwardly into his prose. But otherwise, not much.
Current refreshment: Some kind of zero-calorie sparkling orange-mango drink.
Current DVD in player: Disc 2 of season 2 of Broadchurch. Which I have heard argued did not need a second season, but I'm liking it so far.
Current happy thing: Man, it is nice to finally have a proper weekend. A three-day weekend, even! Also, I finally have my thyroid medication again, so that's nice.
Current thought: I'm sure I had something profound to say here, but it's completely gone out of my head. So, um... Happy holidays?

I had enough problems with the ending of Broadchurch's first season -- despite Olivia Colman's amazing performance -- that I skipped the second entirely. I have it on good authority that I made the right call.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if the ending of season 1 really didn't work for you, I can see where avoiding season 2 would be the right call. I am enjoying it, myself, but it's probably fair to say that's more on the strength of the characters and the performances than the plot.
DeleteThey're still letting Kevin J. Anderson write novels!?
ReplyDeleteWell, apparently they were in 2012, anyway. I'm not entirely sure why. I'm less sure why I'm willing to read them, but sometimes I'm just a glutton for punishment. :)
