shadowkatBack to work tomorrow -- after a lengthy break. Oh well at least it's just two days until the weekend. The hardest part is getting up at 5:45 am and getting on the subway. Using the new bag that my brother got me for Xmas -- we'll see how well it works. My brother considers himself a bag expert.
One of the things I accomplished this year was to improve my relationship with my brother and niece. So progress. Not that we were ever really estranged, but I'm working on keeping us a bit closer. And not letting dumb things like pride and envy get in the way.
Been sleeping in late, and staying up even later -- so this may be tricky.
Also need to figure out what I should binge-watch next.
*Witcher?
* The Inheritors/Heirs (Korean Drama on Netflix)
* The Expanse S4
* Finish watching The Crown
Or something else? I should watch The Irishman, Marriage Story, Judy, Ad Astra, and Downton Abby - I suppose, but I'm just not in the mood.
Did get some work done on current book (subversive and possibly unpublishable contemporary romance novel), but wanting to go back to sci-fi which is shorter and closer to done. (OR at least the first book in the series is done.) I write stories for myself mostly. My mother did tell me that her choir director is anxiously awaiting my next published novel. Apparently he's read Doing Time on Planet Earth twice and adores it. It's nice to have a few fans. I figure if you can please one person outside of yourself with a story -- or have connected with one person, you've achieved something -- even more so if he/she/they are a stranger that you've never really met. Which is the case here.

Date: 2020-01-03 01:28 pm (UTC)His Dark Materials was by far among the best series I've seen this year. Well-written, and well-cast. (I also had read the books but about 20 years ago...) Maizel S1 and 2 are good, 3 has issues.
