Picoreview: Furiosa

August 7, 2024

Picoreview: Furiosa: boring :( I had heard enormously mixed reviews from friends, and…do you ever feel like sometimes other people have somehow seen a completely different movie or TV show than the one you’ve seen? I’ve taken to saying “I wish I’d seen the cut THEY saw,” which is how I feel about the positive reviews of Furiosa. I’m very glad people enjoyed it, I just don’t understand how. :) Everyone in it was good. Chris Hemsworth’s fake nose was actively not good, but despite that, he was very good.…

Glasgow Worldcon schedule!

August 6, 2024

Okay, this is where you will ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE find me over the weekend, because these are the things I am definitely scheduled for: Beyond that: I get in mid-afternoon on Thursday and have no sense of when I might actually get to the con. Hopefully by half five or so, but who knows. I believe I have dinner plans of one kind of another sorted out for Thursday already, so I’m gonna assume this will not be a super great day for just hanging out. FRIDAY: 9am: minor ambitions…

The ceremony itself was really quite…

A few weeks ago my husband, who is suffering from tendonitis in his achilles, went to have his feet scanned and better insoles found and stuff, and thought it was interesting enough that I should do the same. Especially because I have stupidly wide feet, although as it turns out, they’re apparently only wide, not STUPIDLY wide. That’s something, I guess? Except they remain too wide for most women’s shoes, so, y’know, oh well. Anyway, so I went in and did this thing and it was in fact interesting. I,…

alligators all the way down

July 29, 2024

I’ve been reading the A Girl and her Fed webcomic the past week or so, which has the usual effect of making me want to do a little webcomic of my own. It in particular, though, has made me vaguely think perhaps I’m not, IDK, weird enough to pull off what I want to do. Like, ok. Girl. Fed. Cyborg conspiracies. Gotcha. I could probably get that far on my own. Ghost of Benjamin Franklin? Look, I’m sorry, I wouldn’ta thought of that. Hyper-sapient koala? NOPE. ‘Fraid not. Checking out…
