I am not superstitious by nature but in my last post I mentioned migraines and bam, I got hit with my first one in ages. It struck on Friday along with a major shift in the weather, as often happens, and is still lingering today. Yesterday I was so incapacitated I had to take a sick day and am now even more behind on work. The queasiness is beginning to abate and I am mostly upright but looking longingly at my bed, less than three feet away from my desk. Summer heat plus poor health means I’ve been succumbing to distractions even more than usual. Though we didn’t follow too much of the virtual comic con, other than watching a few new trailers.
- My son and I binge-watched BNA on Netflix - a Highly Exaggerated Anime Series About Animal-People and the People-People Who Hate Them - the weekend before last. We’re both looking forward to Season 2.
- I’m a big Bill Nighy fan. And I enjoyed the rest of the cast and the quirkiness of Sometimes Always Never. After all, Scrabble, my favorite board game, is a key part of the plot.
- I have a seemingly unbreakable habit of reading and enjoying books that are the first in a trilogy before the next books are available. By the time the next book comes out I need to re-read or at least skim the preceding one to figure out where things left off. This has happened again with James Maxwell’s Firewall Trilogy. I’m currently enjoying book two.
- I love Perfume Genius and this was just lovely: Perfume Genius Played Fallon From An Empty Venue, And It Ruled
- Less of a pleasure, I hate-watched the entire first season of Motherland Fort Salem. So much squandered potential! Despite a charismatic cast, and passing The Bechdel Test in a world where women are in power and they are badass witches. But the writing was just awful and the show never felt urgent or compelling. I’m not sure how I made it through to the end.
Thankfully, we have superior distractions to look forward to soon, with season 2 of The Umbrella Academy. And hopefully no more migraines.
