I woke up early this morning, having had a nightmare that Brexit had won, and decided to get up to see the news, since when I went to bed last night it looked like Remain would win. So much for that: it looks like the nightmare is real. (I am devastated and worried; I've also made an appointment to apply for UK citizenship, since I doubt that ( Read more... ) -
Next season: war of five queens?
I posted this on tumblr, but have actually no idea how to make people see things there!

(Our tiny local paper is pretty good, considering its size, but it can be hard for them to get more than about 8 pages of news, not counting sports. And that's ( Read more... ) -

I have given myself permission not to watch the new XF season; I've read enough reviews from all of you who have. I was half-tempted, because it looked like it was going to call back to a lot of the mytharc stuff that I really liked, like the virus and vaccine stuff. Were there bees? I never did understand what was going on with the bees. But it ( Read more... ) -

Just in case any of you thought I lived some kind of super intellectual life, most of our discussions at home recently have been about who would win a fight between the Hulk and an Indominus Rex. Now it's Hulk vs. the mosasaur from Jurassic World.
