1. Fiona and I went to see the musical of the movie Waitress with a colleague, her daughter, and mother-in-law. It was really funny and surprisingly moving; I teared up multiple times. It was also surprisingly risque, and I might have hesitated on taking Fiona if I'd realized there would be so much simulated sex. LOL

2. sweettartheart sent me the most amazing Pride flag Star Trek communicator. It has gone on my work bag with all my other pins. I love it!

3. We are still really enjoying The Dragon Prince. I was really surprised by Virren's choice to leave dark magic behind. I suspect that he will die in some sacrificial way to save them all from Aravos. I love Soren so much. He's my favorite character. I am really unsure how the Aravos situation will be resolved; the show has been written into a difficult situation where he's immortal and yet hiding him is too risky as well. I don't know how that will play out. I think Claudia will probably be redeemed; this is a kid's show, and I suspect they're not going to kill the kids (I mean, Claudia is an adult now but she started off as a kid, so I think she counts in that category.).

Buried Deep and Other Stories by Naomi Novik

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I enjoyed this whole collection, but I especially enjoyed the Rome + Dragons and the Pride and Prejudice + Dragons stories. My favorite story of all is a kind of Vandermeer/Atwood/Bacigalupi mashup that is just fantatsic.

I will never get tired of reading about the ongoing adventures of Murderbot, ART, and their humans.

I reread all the other books, but this one was a new read for me. Love it.
