tracker7For All Mankind's third season was really good. I think that the story has progressed enough that some of the first-season characters will have realistically aged out of further stories, and some of them have already met their ends in one fashion or another.
I'm keeping the AppleTV subscription for a little longer. There are a few originals I want to check out before moving on to other services. Right now, I'm a couple of episodes into Foundation. It's not bad, but at the same time, it's not setting my world on fire. I'm sure that I've read at least part of the novel series, way back when. Thing is, I don't have a great appreciation for Asimov's writing. His ideas, sure, but very much not his prose. A friend was more than a little critical of the TV series, and okay cool; he has a much deeper attachment to classic SF lit than I do.
Far from a classic, but darned enjoyable is my current read - Nona the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir. It's not quite as engaging as Gideon or Harrow, but it really seems to be moving towards something big, and it's filling some of the history of the Locked Tomb.
It's already been a long week. Big-time maintenance work on Saturday evening, blocked for 12 hours. It went very smoothly, hooray, and I went home after eight hours. 12 hours last night, though. I'm refusing any non-emergency time this coming weekend - this is two in a row, and I need some time for myself. Plus, there's the DCC game Friday evening (my third as a Road Crew member), and some goings on at TLGS Saturday that I'd like to check out. And maybe I'd just like to lie on the couch and recharge.
This morning is darn near my ideal seasonal weather. A little under 50F, cloudy, gentle breeze. It's very quiet, the drive home didn't make me want to blow the bridges and mine the Ohio. It won't last, but right now, what a lovely time.
