May. 29th, 2024 10:02 pm1. So gave Wales, "Yellowface by RF Kuang" as a gift, after giving up on it at page 209 (it's 390 pages).
Wales texts me about it:
Monday: I'm only on the 2nd chapter of the Yellowface and it's too implausible., or disgusting to continue. Because the main character is a psychopath or a sociopath. I've lost interest. I'm going to to five it away if that's okay.
Or maybe it's just extreme example of psychological splitting, And I wonder if she can sustain it.
Plus this book is so like "The Plot" except for the ethnic twist, that it's hard to take. Sorry, I'm not complaining. It's just frustrating. Thanks for giving it to me.
Today: I'm enjoying Yellowface. Thanks.
LOL!
It's not the first dark satire that I couldn't finish that I gave to Wales. I also gave her American Psycho by Bret Easton-Ellis, which didn't work for me either. I'm really not a fan of this genre. She loves it though. To each their own.
2. Church hasn't sent me the training information for Saturday's Facilitator Training. They did send it to everyone wanting to do it on Thursday by Zoom. I don't like Zoom. I prefer in person training, if at all possible. So opted for the in person training on Saturday, assuming it happens. I also advised them that I was available to facilitate on June 15. (Honestly I'd rather do it now than wait until the fall.)
[See past posts on what this is concerning.]
3. The only reviewer who figured out the Doctor Who episode 73 Yards, was a Welsh person, who actually knew the folklore being referenced. <a HREF="https://www.tumblr.com/becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys/751670894612611072/would-love-your-opinion-of-the-newest-episode-of?source=share> at Tumblr</a>. Thanks to Trepkos for the link. Only problem is you need to be on Tumblr to see it.
