Am I dead?
Hello there. Been a long time.
I've been on some roller coaster ride! Battling demons (depression), recovering from the Brit-dump (dudes suck), having some horrid dating experiences (men suck), feeling tired (depression sucks), and trying to get my LIFE together, as usual.
Also my father is ill and I spent three weeks in California with the family -- may go back again. One thing about getting older is the parents do too, and it hits you in the face that you won't always have them. (Life sucks).
READING: The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell
I love David Mitchell, so pretty much anything he does is bound to hit me where I live and be enjoyable to me. So, yeah.
WATCHING: Just finished Sense8. I gave it three tries and the first two I could not even remotely get into it. I was expecting something else and it just didn't jive with my expectations (whatever those were). Finally I read
no_detective's rave review HERE. She is SO RIGHT. Like, the rightest.
Sense8 is genre x 2. It has all those little odes to genre that we love, and it has a deep sense of satisfaction in twists, turns, chases, heart-thumping near-misses, UST, LGBTQ love, and happy endings. I loved every character, even the one with questionable morals, and loved all the acting. Yes, I loved it.
More Netflix: Now I'm watching the guy from Sense8 (Miguel Angel Silvestre) in a Spanish "telenovela" of sorts: Velvet. It's that sort of thing you mainline from the get-go and can't stop watching even whilst rolling your eyes.
Also watching: Humans, Teen Wolf, True Detective (with a squint), and the new sci fi show Dark Matter, by some of those same numbskulls that brought you Stargate. Therefore there is a mandatory cameo by David Hewlett. Um... yay?
How are you all? <3
If you wanted to,you could read this entry on Dreamwidth too, friend me there, or you know, bake a cake. Whatever you like. (
