Whoops.

Well, my post-every-day resolution lasted exactly one day, because I forgot yesterday.  Well, it's not the end of the world. You get me today, isn't that fun?

I've made a teensy bit of progress this week in setting up my little home office. I've got bookcases put together, and now I just need to set aside some time to put away my books in the order I want them. You will not be surprised to learn that this can take me quite a lot of time, as there is nothing quite like organizing books to bring out the perfectionist in me. ;)

This is still not the promised post about work. I kind of remembered about LJ a little late today, and that post is going to take me a bit of time to compose properly, I think. In the meantime, I have been alternating in my free time between streaming (to answer an earlier question, I am in fact broadcasting) and watching way too much television.

I got hooked by Stranger Things last year, and happily went back down that rabbit hole last weekend again. It's an adorable show. It's perhaps a little too enamoured of its own premise of being set in the 1980s, and this season especially was pretty short on good plotting, but the character writing is top-notch, and we all know how much I love good character writing. I tried watching Timeless, as I'd heard pretty decent things about it, but honestly it was so US-centric that I got bored during the second episode. Oh noes, the bad guy wants to destroy America in the crib! MEH. I would give up a non-vital body part for an American-written show to also realise that there are other countries in the world with really rich and interesting histories. I think I got spoiled with shows like Sense8 (although it has its own problems), and now I require a little more variety and, dare I say, diversity in my shows. So not even the promise of time travel could keep me watching Timeless. It also doesn't help that I found the two leads pretty boring.

I also have been watching Star Trek: Discovery (although I am not 100% caught up), and... I am ambivalent about it. I desperately want to like it, because it has a diverse cast and is being run by Bryan Fuller, whose work I mostly quite like, but it doesn't feel like Star Trek, if that makes any sense. It almost has more of a Star Trek: Enterprise feel to it, which is a show I didn't really enjoy and stopped watching in season 2, if memory serves. I am told it got better after that, but I haven't yet gotten around to giving it another shot. Sorry, Scott Bakula, I did love you in Quantum Leap. ;)

I could probably chatter on at length about TV, but looking at the time, I can see that bedtime is a better life choice on my part. ;)

Tomorrow morning I will be running D&D for my original group, and I have big things planned for them. Plot-altering prophecies and the like. I need to get up early to finish up some NPC stats for it. Then I need to run errands, as I'll be 

See you on the flip side, everyone!
