May the Fourth be With You!
May. 4th, 2018 03:53 pmMay 4th celebrated as Star Wars day tickles me to no end. It makes me happy to unite in the love of the Star Wars universe, especially due to a pun. Puns are everything to moi. I am wearing my Han and Chewie piloting the Millennium Falcon into hyperdrive and encountering the Tardis in front of them t-shirt.
Very busy these days, visiting mother almost daily for lunch. She is increasingly in another dimension herself, with Parkenson's induced dementia--never quite sure what day it is, whether she has taken the correct pills or even if she's eaten. My sister lives with her, and works generally from 5am to 2:30, so she comes home only a few hours after lunch, when I've gone off to work myself. This weekend, Lesley is taking a rare vacation with a friend, so I'll be going back to see mother for dinner, too. But I work Saturday and Sunday, so mom will spend a lot of time on her own. She falls frequently, which is one of the things that weighs most on my mind. We shall muddle through!
I'm reading Ready Player One, which has different scenarios than the movie did on how the characters find the three keys to unlock the game, but other than that is really fun. I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. So many fannish mentions and fun facts about the 1980s and 2045s. Thumbs up.
Getting into The Magicians. I saw a bunch of shipper posts on FB about Quentin and Eliot, who are both very goodlooking. I'd tried this series once before, but only got to ep 4. People told me it gets better after that, which is very true, especially once they start dealing with Fillory (a Narnia type world and set of books in the series). The last episode with backstory about the author of the Fillory world was chilling (episode 10). So far, Eliot and Quentin are only marginally friends, and both have major issues to deal with, but I like them. The girls of the series, on the other hand, not so much. Since the first two seasons are on Netflix, I can just FF through any scene with whiney Julia. Margot is at least funny and sarcastic. Alice is annoying, but she's so often with Quentin that I have to endure her. Lol. Eventually, I know there will be some "Queliot" and I look forward to that!
There is no try, there is only do--in the words of the immortal Yoda.
