Aug. 26th, 2019 08:30 pm1. Interesting discussion of Dyslexia on CBS This Morning. But it is different for everyone -- this sort of generalizes about it.
But it does underline that it has nothing to do with intelligence.
2. For the Breaking Bad Fans - The Breaking Bad Movie: El Camino Trailer -- and the airdate? 10/11/19 on Netflix. (Don't you miss the days in which this stuff was available on cable? Or you just needed a cable subscription?)
And the article on it is HERE
( apparently Vince Gillian isn't done with Breaking Bad after all )
Even though, I am. I felt the series ended with Ozymandias. I didn't want any more after that. It's very odd -- the shows that have finales, and get spin-offs and get movies, I often don't want anything else from, while the one's that get cancelled and don't get any of that -- I do. I wanted more Buffy and Angel, I didn't care one way or the other about Bab5 once it ended, STNG once it ended, Game of Thrones once it ended, or Veronica Mars once it ended. But, I get more of those in either prequels, sequels, or weird continuations. While Buffy - no. Angel - no. Farscape? Got a movie. That was it. Star Wars? I wanted more, but it disappointed me and I got frustrated (so maybe it's best not too?) BladeRunner? I didn't want anything else.
Terminator? No. (Sarah Connor Chronicles - yes, Terminator movies? No) Vampire Diaries? No. X-Files? No. MASH? No. But I'd have loved more Merlin. Also, a spin-off for Lucifer and more of it.
But alas. They don't listen to me. Which you all are most likely pleased about. ;-)
Anyhow, I may or may not check out the BB film -- I did like Jesse Pinkman. Actually he was the only in the series that I liked at the end.
3. Good news, my apartment didn't have any gas leaks -- so no repairs are required in my apartment. Apparently none of the apartments along the "M" line had any issues.
In other news, I'm flirting with Chemistry.com. ( Read more... )
4. Tried the second book in the Time Served series (about the lawyer) but it was bad. ( Read more... )
Also gave up on The Cooking Gene, White Fragility, and flirting with Black is my Body, a selection of personal essays/stories. Tried reading the first one -- but realized halfway through that I really didn't want to read about someone being stabbed and what it was like to be brutally stabbed in a mall by a crazy white guy.
So, I'm reading a historical romance about a female jewel thief in 1800s London (I think it is 1800s, it could be early -- it's in St. Giles, which is a scary part of London and a den of thieves in all American written historical novels. Whether this is true in actuality? I've no clue. ( Read more... )
We'll see if my own contemporary romance sees the light of publication or completion. Completion right now would be nice. It's longer than my sci-fi novel is at the moment, which has more to it. Granted I have a tendency to get bored with my own plots -- and slowly they become more convoluted as I go. Also, a weird need to fill in all the details. The reader does not need all the details. (These get thrown out by the second or third draft.)
