Reading: I finished M.L. Wang's Blood Over Bright Haven--very good, also rather grim on account of centering on a magic system that colonialist right to the marrow.

Now I'm reading both Emily Tesh's The Incandescent and Jennifer 8 Lee's The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food. (In practice, that means I started the latter when I hadn't yet picked up The Incandescent and knew I wanted to read it promptly, so I needed to pick up a non-fiction book to tide me over until I bought it. So The Fortune Cookie Chronicles is most likely just on hold while I get through the novel.)

Watching: Last week's episode of The Last of Us, a few more episodes of The Pitt, and one [1] episode of Murderbot. (I'm hoping to see the second tonight, but we'll see how it goes.)

Weathering: A couple of days ago we had unseasonably summer-like temperatures, but now it's back down to consistently below 10°C (and mostly gray/rainy). *shivers*

Current Mood: cold

Reading: I finished and really enjoyed A Drop of Corruption Robert Jackson Bennett. (Just in time to see the author's, um...deeply unfortunate contribution to the AI conversation [presumably in response to the current Worldcon fiasco {why is there pretty much always a Worldcon fiasco? It's amazing}]. >.<)

I followed that up with Mira Grant's latest, Overgrowth, which I also really enjoyed, and now I'm reading M.L. Wang's Blood Over Bright Haven.

Watching: Extremely minimal. We saw the most recent ep. of TLoU, but I don't think we managed any of The Pitt, so I guess we'll be juggling three shows once Murderbot starts up. (We used to more routinely have multiple shows on the go, but we seem to have somehow lost the knack.) And I haven't started anything new on my own since finishing my Guardian watch-through.

Working: I have manga deadlines both tomorrow and Tuesday, and was thankfully able to give both scripts their final polish and read-through this afternoon, so they're both turned in now.

Linking:

--"‘Good God, It Was Fun!’ Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Dick Van Dyke, and more legends of Broadway reprise their most memorable characters".

--"Why Harassment Comes with the Territory of Translating Popular Manga". [io9 interviews]

Current Mood: working
