1. Hmmmm... The Rocky Horror Castle has been turned into a hotel where you can book the ultimate rocky horror experience -- it's also apparently close to Legoland.


Okay. Makes sense I suppose.

2. A discussion on FB about Veronica Mars, and why anyone would ship Logan who was such a jerk. ( Read more... )

Then someone posted that "Shippers were evil".
( Why Shippers and by extension fandom are essential to the continuance of a television series )

I may try to do a free trial of Hulu later in the fall, when more television series that I'm interested in pop up on it. Veronica Mars S4 isn't enough. Also I'm really NOT in the mood for it at the moment. I'm a moody television watcher.

3. Started binge watching The Expanse -- ( Read more... )

4. On a personal note...Wales is doing poorly. ( Read more... )

1. Three things I am not allowed to discuss at length: semantics, religion, and politics.

2. Apparently Archive of Our Own won a Hugo...along with a few other interesting entries

As always, I agree and disagree with a lot of these...

Children of Blood and Bone -- I found disappointing and not that interesting. However, my brother and fifteen year old niece adored it. So what do I know?

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, screenplay by Phil Lord and Rodney Rothman, directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman (Sony) - Would agree this was by far the best of the screenplays listed. And most innovative.

Weirdly I have not read most of the graphic novels, and Monstress, which won, doesn't interest me at all. I have read many of the Saga graphic novels -- but I'm on the fence about a Hugo for it. Awards, however, I find odd. It's so subjective.
But it does give you insight on how others view the world and what direction culture is leaning.

Will admit that Mary Robinette Kowal's Calculating Stars looks interesting. I think I read her when she was merely Mary Robinette, because the name looks familiar. I can't remember half the authors I've read. This is why I write reviews on Good Reads of books I've read -- so I can keep track.

Now, the 1944 Hugo retrospective was interesting. I didn't realize I'd read that many of them. Or the one's I enjoyed won Hugos.

3. Hmmm... Marge Simpson Anime and the Liberation of Women
( Read more... )

IT does make me wonder what fictional characters I'd liberate if I could from their storylines?

I'll have to ponder that one.


4. It wants to rain. I wish it would. Cool things off. Dispell some of the heaviness in the air...and help with barometric pressure. Although my headache has dissipated, so yay.
