1. I got an overload! Huzzah! Now we can completely pay off our credit card debt in one fell swoop when I get paid for it in December. Our debt to my parents will be repaid in December, too, so we can start 2020 debt free (well, except for the mortgage, of course).

2. ( Goodreads reviews of the Broken Earth trilogy )

( spoilery comments about the series )

3. I have nominated The Broken Earth Trilogy and Carnival Row for Yuletide. I can't wait!

4. ( review of the Carnival Row finale )

5. We have started watching Star Trek: Discovery. I'm so glad there's only 15 episodes. If you'd told me ten years ago that I would cheer the end of the 22 episode TV season and embrace fully the 6-12 episode TV season, I'd have thought you were crazy, but really 8-10 is now my Platonic Ideal of a TV season. Long enough to be immersive but short enough that I don't feel like I'm committing way too much of my downtime to it.

1. We watched Hotel Artemis which I enjoyed. I am firmly convinced that it takes place in the same world as John Wick and am very disappoint there are no fics for the show at all on AO3. It's got a great cast (really nice to see Jenny Slate playing a serious character). I especially appreciate Jodi Foster's physical acting in this; she has a way of walking and moving that communicates Older Woman Whose Feet Really Hurt that works well for the character.

2. We watched the first episode of Carnival Row last night and enjoyed it. I see it's gotten poor reviews, but I don't get why based on the first episode.

Legolas has gotten hotter with age IMHO. He looks really, really good.

( spoilers )

Really looking forward to more of this.

3. Inside Jokes by misbegotten
Big Bang Theory
Penny/Sheldon
Ficlet which employs "Soft Kitty" to delightful effect. :)

4. archersangel sent me a couple of Trek memes that look like fun, so I think I'm going to start doing a mixture of Trek shitpollsting based on those memes and meta posts about Trek. Stay tuned!
