Feb. 23rd, 2020 03:56 pmI think I'm a little depressed, can't get myself motivated to do anything. Sinus headache most likely is not helping. The pretty blue sky and budding trees out my window are taunting me. It's supposed to be in the low fifties at the moment. I did go and get groceries at the Food Coop and Farmer's Market on Courtelyou, second time gone down that way this weekend. It's about a thirty minute walk one way. Yesterday went down there -- only to discover at checkout that I'd left my wallet at home and in another bag.
Been that sort of weekend.
February uglies.
1. Television? Making my way through Sanditon - it's not like the book I read, and more than a little disappointed. I loved the book, the adaptation feels lacking in humor somehow. Also I liked Sydney Parker in the book, while in the adaptation I kind of want to smack him upside the head with a cricket baton.
Also saw Stumptown -- I appreciate the additional character development.( Read more... )
The Witcher S2 - won't probably premiere until 2021, which is annoying. It's only eight episodes - you'd think they could air them each year. But apparently not. Maybe this is a UK thing? Doctor Who has a year lag time, so too does Discovery of Witches and Killing Eve...and now the Witcher -- all are produced and filmed in the UK.
2. I glanced through a few article links to post -- and ...well, the one's that didn't make me want to commit Hari Kari, gave me a headache, so I decided to spare you. The internet is not always conducive to mental health - just saying. Also, as an aside, someone is marketing the video game Forge of Empire's REALLY hard. Either that or Firefox wants me to play it for some reason. It keeps popping up, four or five times. I don't quite have the heart to tell them that I'm not into games.
3. I'm amused, my Uncle (who lives in Michigan) just posted on FB that people should stop pestering him with their keystrokes, he's a long-suffering Republican who switched his status to Democrat and already voted in the primary by absentee ballot.
Hee Hee. I think a lot of Republicans will be doing that this year. Also a lot of people who registered third party. I did - I switched from Green to Democrat.
Meanwhile cousin broke her no politics on FB rule by posting that they discovered Russia was interfering with the primaries to get Bernie Saunders to win the election for the Democrats. His campaign had been informed.
Sigh. 98% of my family is united behind one thing: We hate populist fascist candidates.
