If only I liked beer
I return, triumphant!
Not that I was posting regularly, but you don't think about how much you casually scroll, etc., until you're stuck without a working personal computer. :P
During the painfully horrible (month end close sucks) first week of January, I finally managed the right combination of things which finished off my hard drive. I couldn't ( Read more... ) -
sff: Big Finish's Torchwood Monthly Range
This is mostly just quick thoughts, but gets a bit long. Covers episodes 1-25ish, I think, with one or two not listened to.
The monthly range seems to vary in era and continuity, and while I listened to them generally in order, I don't think it's actually required (outside of a couple linked ones, like the Andy + Norton or Andy + Owen ones).

sff: Big Finish audios - Companion Chronicles + River Song
I'm splitting these in two, so the Torchwood ones can faff about with themselves.
There's only one Companion Chronicle that I listed to, and it was
The Many Deaths of Jo Grant - while at the heart, this is a common SF trope, it still managed to be interesting, if only because of Jo's sheer perseverance in the face of adversity. I sometimes forget ( Read more... ) -
sff: Games Edition - Mystery Case Files mainly.
I'll get the non MCF game out the way first:
Amaranthine Voyage: The Tree of Life. I love the design in this one--it's steampunk. However, they repurposed a spacey game for it, so the base is a crashed spaceship buried in the jungle, with a castle built on top of it! It's a ridiculous mash of periods, and I LOVE it. The game does suffer from bad ( Read more... ) -
we'll hold the line
Have survived most of 2021.
Got my booster shot for Covid (yay)
Went down and visited family for the holidays (also yay).
Watched Queens of Mystery with my mother, and it was cute (and I want to bang Julie Graham, no lie).
Also have now re-watched all of season one of Leverage Redemption, and I still love it. (reading the comments on imdb/amazon, ( Read more... ) -
Zombies would be more restful
Still working what feels like five peoples' jobs. October was just. I don't even know how to describe it, but I never felt like I had a moment to come up for air at all, and I didn't manage to do anything for Sparktober outside of that first week or so (which was mostly occasional comments in discord, and a watchalong).
Mom and I have two more ( Read more... ) -
Also, this is going nowhere, but have some ficlet spam, Leverage/Stargate: SG-1
Probably set season 8ish for SG-1 and Redemption for Leverage:
Smiling, Parker clapped her hands and beamed around the room, including at their surprise guests. "Let's go steal a system lord."
"Did you just say that seriously?" Hardison did not look impressed as he traded a look with Eliot.
Obviously doing her best not to roll her eyes, Colonel Carter ( Read more... ) -
A belated entry: Dragoncon, Atlanta, various things
1. So, DragonCon. As we lost someone in my team at work there was 0 chance I could fly down or have any days off the week of month end close. This meant that I took the Thurs/Fri before off, packed and flew down to stay with my sister. Which, was awesome, because I don't get to see my sister that often. But also sucked, as I then worked Monday- ( Read more... ) -
sff: Leverage Redemption
Not sure how long or spoilery this is. But yes! I've watched the first eight. Mom and I have been watching Leverage together every two weeks, so the season half got split. And now I've seen all eight, and I'm so so glad this show is back, even if the corporate/bad guy getting away with it stuff is still utterly depressing.

sff: Gunpowder Milkshake
So, Gunpowder Milkshake crossed my radar a month (two? three?) ago, and reading the cast list was like someone dangling a carrot in front of a giant-ass rabbit.
Lena Headey? Karen Gillan? Angela Bassett? Carla Gugino? Michelle Yeoh? ALL IN ONE MOVIE, and it ISN'T about women falling in love and learning to realize they're Beautiful Inside?
Is it my ( Read more... )
