What I just finished reading:
the dark queens: the bloody rivalry that forged the medieval world which honestly was probably historical fiction as much as straight up historical because there just isn't that much that survived about the two queens. i should name them, huh - brunhild and fredegund, who weren't allowed to sit on a throne because ( Read more... )

oh my flist it's been like a million years. in no particular order here's some shit i did the past, uh, six weeks:

• saw furiosa which i mostly liked - i really enjoy the hotter hemsworth playing a villain - altho i just can't buy that anya taylor-joy physically grows up to be charlize theron. definitely liked the additions to the mad max lore tho.

the longer i wait to post the harder it is to post, so, uh, hi. this is the non-family post.

i got my mail-in ballot on thursday! because apparently the quickest way to get it is to bitch that you haven't. >.< i dropped it in a ballot drop box today which means i have OFFICIALLY VOTED GO ME. ahem. for those americans in the audience who ( Read more... )

i feel like i was very productive at work today, altho i'm not totally sure what i did. updated the online personnel file for one of my pi's, which was kind of tedious and will continue to be so tomorrow. hey, it's something to do that i know how to do, so i shouldn't complain ( Read more... )

pretend it's yesterday so i can say "first of may, first of may, outdoor fucking stars today!" of course it also rained, so.

tonight's netflix party movie was the saint, and it was... disappointing. val kilmer (the saint) and elisabeth shue (the love interest) had almost no chemistry, which is a problem when they're playing people who apparently ( Read more... )
