Goings On

[lightofdaye]

Happy Friday everyone, how is it May? I, like everyone else, am losing my sense of time entirely. Owing to bank holidays and four day weeks I've been enjoying Fridays off for a while now.


So no writing to report but i have been doing some other things this year:

• I've playing a lot of Spider-Man on the PS4 and even bought myself the DLC add-ons when they were on sale last week, so playing through that new content at the moment.
• I've watched movies I've never seen before on Netflix. The Cabin In The Woods and The Silence of the Lambs, not a big horror fan though so not going further with the other Hannibal films.
• Working very slowly through the final episodes of Capaldi's Doctor Who run, want to go back to Star Trek Discovery after that
• Re-read all the Hornblower books and then started reading some news ones I'd been putting off. Brief Cases, the second Dresden Files anthology by Jim Butcher and currently Voyage of the Basilisk by Marie Brennan the third in her lady trent/natural history of dragons series.

On the fandom side, I've put in some prompts for hphet 's minifest. As I've said before. This weekend is your last chance to get some in! So if you have any het ideas do please consider entering them! You never know who you might inspire. :)

Hope everyone is as well as can be.

I'm not much of a horror fan either, but The Silence of the Lambs is a great movie that works whether you are or not, I think.

Oh, I need to get on watching Discovery too. I keep meaning to start it. I'm curious about it, I've just been writing so much lately I honestly haven't had a lot of time for TV!

Have you seen any Disc? when series 2 was coming out i watched all of series 1 and the first couple of series 2 before burning out and going on to other things.

I think writing a lot is a happy trade-in for tv watching! :)

Nope, I haven't even started Disco. I've heard some spoilers about it (no big deal, my own fault for taking so long to watch) so I know a little about what to expect. I have seen some friends give up on it, but I'd still like to give it a chance, as well as just wanting to at least be familiar with all the series so I can read people's fic when I come across it. I also keep meaning to watch those Short Treks they put out.

I think being spoiled on season 1 probably helped me be less annoyed by all the changes than people who went in fresh.

The series of short treks between s1 and 2 of Disco are pretty good. Not seen the second lot yet.
