Most of the following will have to wait until I make the time to think it all through:
1. Scan/Upload clippings and other articles:
2. Reduce the overall number of files:
3. Sort out the eFiction archives:
4. Make sites mobile friendly: I am going to look as CSS GRID
5. Add items to empty albums:
Please remember to check out the GALLERY and FICTION archives for any new items/stories posted as I don't change the website UPDATE pages for these.

BOOKS/FAN STUFF **** POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT ****
FANFICTION: Not read anything this week.
BOOKS: I still have Surviving the Evacuation Part 9: Ireland by Frank Tayell to start reading. I'm still slowly reading the translation for Advance Bravely
----------------------------
MOVIES:
Asteroid: A man moves his family back to his hometown and learns that an asteroid is about to strike... HIS HOUSE. Turns out there is more to it than just 'bad luck' and most of the movie is not bad and fun in places. Not one I will add to the re-watch list as it is all about what happens BEFORE the 'apocalypse'.
Ice Storm: Based on a true story about an 11-city cross-country ice skating marathon in the Netherlands and follows a group of skaters who brave a brutal storm, determined to win the coveted medal. Out of around 10,00 starters, only 126 made it across the finish line due to the bad weather that saw temperatures plummeting.
On Fire: The true account of a family caught in one of the wildfires in Canada and how they fought to survive as they first try to save their home and then try to outrun the fire when the wind shifts and sends embers in their direction. It has some sad scenes of people being burned alive and other deaths.
FANVIDS: nothing new this week
TV SHOWS:
911: No episode this week
911 Lone Star: No episode this week
Ashes of Love: Have not seen any this week
Castle in the Time: This is an older series that had it airing delayed after the Chinese government decided to stop the mix of Korean actors/influence. The lead male actor is Zhang Zhehan (Zhou Zishu in Word of Honor) and the female lead is Park Min-young. I've now finished watching and enjoyed most of it as it is a comedy drama, with some dark undertones. Both leads are so much fun and there is a great supporting cast too full of interesting and amusing characters. The story centers on a student paleontologist who takes up the position as assistant to a charismatic but quirky movie star just so she can get close to her estranged mother - the director on his latest movie. Of course all sorts of shenanigans are going on - some amusing, some with dark implications that draw the two closer together. It has a lot of unsettling moments showing the worse side of fans and how some are almost certifiable in their hero worshiping. I'm really not so comfortable with the ending where he announces he is giving up his superstar acting career for her.
Hellbound: I finished watching Season 2 and I really liked where this was going, especially when one of the 'sinners' turns into one of the monsters that come to collect the sinner in a 'demonstration'. Also loved the reveal in the final few moments of the season finale, about the baby that had been 'saved' by her parents, though I wonder if Min Hye-jin ever revealed the truth of what she saw close up. I'm glad she took the baby - now a young girl - out of the facility to hopefully give her a better life while it lasts but the implication from the season finale is that the whole world is about to end/change. The questions still remains for what is actually going on. What are these proclamations and demonstrations for? Why is HELL the person being shifted across multi-realities and brutally battered and killed each time?
Rescue Hi-Surf: No episode this week
The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon: I had decided to wait until I have finished watching The Ones Who Live - now done! I have all the season 2 episodes so I can make a start on this.
The Walking Dead - The Ones Who Live: I finally finished this and overall I enjoyed it even though I had got a little bore with the CRM stuff. Loved the final episode where Rick reveals he is NOT on-board with the ruthless genocide of other groups and then he and Michonne make sure Portland remains safe by killing the General and all the special soldiers who had sworn on the sword to do evil deeds. It was sad to lose Jadis|Anne and sad for Father Gabriel losing his friend but I am glad she decided to save Alexandria by letting Rick and Michonne know where she had hidden the dossier. It put them in the right place at the right time. Glad Rick and Michonne made it back home to their children.
TV SHOWS STILL TO WATCH
These are all the shows I have collected but have yet to watch. I must admit I've been too interested in all the Chinese, Korean, etc fantasy, horror and Gay dramas to have time to check anything off this list. I think I've burned out on SF/Superhero shows just for now.
