Wednesday(ish) medialog!
Apr. 2nd, 2021 03:47 amWednesday Medialog (since I haven't done one in a few weeks):
*I finished reading This Is How You Lose The Time War, and thought it was splendid. I loved the way the plot fit together just right, beginning to end to beginning again. I don't think it's a rhapsodic be-all-end-all book for me, but it was really solidly enjoyable.
*I am also making slow, delectable, progress on Middlegame. I would very much like to sit and read it for hours, but that feels like luxury I can't afford when I have ~actual responsibilities~
*The other week I did read through 3/4 of the Melendy books (The Four Story Mistake, And Then There Were Five, Spiderweb for Two), in a need for nostalgia. They are...such nice soft books. They very much fill the need of characters having small fun adventures without all that substantial of an over-arching plot. Also, it is interesting to me to realize that they would fit in very closely with the Boxcar children (when you look at the ages of all the relevant children) and now I'm craving some of those.
*I have been playing a _lot_ of Animal Crossing, which has been a lot of fun! There's a lot of layers about organization and adventure and catching bugs and wearing cute outfits, all of which make me happy.
*Speaking of cute outfits, the newest Among Us map has a task which is basically doing a dress-up doll and I am _here_ for it. I've only gotten it once so far, but it is definitely my favourite airship task. (Also I got to play AmongUs last night and that was lovely)
*Ezri and I did finish Parks and Rec, including the pandemic special. I was pretty happy with how it wrapped up --I like it when tv shows end their final season's plot a few episodes early so that the very last episode can just be indulgent goodbyes. (Good Place was _perfect_ at this). I think our next plan is potentially Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, or The Office (to finish off the Michael Schur stuff).
*I have been watching/rewatching a _lot_ of taskmaster lately. I'm watching Series 11 as it comes out (and I watched eps 1+2 with Austin last weekend), and I finished series 9 and 7 and am on to 8 for myself as background noise TV (mostly while playing Animal Crossing) and Tailsteak and I are 4/6 of the way done watching series 1, yayyy.
My only problem is hitting a slightly complicated "but I generally don't want to rewatch these episodes too close together" and at this point in the pandemic, I have now definitely watched every episode of Taskmaster at least once. So...I'm not too sure where I bounce once I'm done rewatching series 8. Probably either 2 or 3, and then maybe it'll be enough time since 10 to try that again?
*Comics Curmudgeoning is up to 11/2015! And I've read my DW flist for two or three days in a row, which is a current record (sigh). *and* someone mentioned Irregular Webcomic to me and I'm about 20 strips into rereading _that_.
*It's a bit offbeat from other medialogging, but it's media so it counts --I spent last Friday afternoon going through a few dozen of P!nk's music videos, since she's done a couple of my favourite pieces of music (I love "Raise your Glass" and "Beautiful Trauma", and the music video for "Try" gives me the kink-art-dance-yes feels).
That's all for now. I hope you are finding neat things to watch and read and listen to!

MOOP!
