What I've read/played/watched lately:
Mar. 18th, 2022 09:44 pmI keep saying I want to do a sort of media roundup of stuff I've watched/read/played recently, and then I get too tired to do it by the time I'm home. But today I had a very weirdly productive day at work, and was the only one in the center so I got a head start on it.
This got way longer than I thought it would. (If I manage to do this as a regular thing, it probably wouldn't cover two weeks at a time, but that's what this is.)
What I've Been Reading:
- Incryptid short stories by Seanan McGuire: Jonathan Healy and Francis Brown
( List of the stories + my thoughts on them: )
-"The Diary of the Rose" by Ursula K le Guin
( Deservedly well-regarded: )
- Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton
( A bit under halfway through: )
What I've Been Playing:
- Pokemon Sun
( Brief thoughts: )
- Deltarune Chapter 2
( The playthrough Taylor and I just did: )
What I've Been Watching:
- first half of Firefly
( Nostalgia: )
- Last Night in Soho
( Held up on a rewatch: )
- Hideout
( An average-y horror movie: )
If I had a nickel for every horror movie I'd watched recently where someone with ill-intent goes to an isolated house in the country, only to have their murderous plans turned around on them by a deceptively-innocent-seeming local who may actually be an incarnation of the devil himself (and an older human who knows their secret)... I'd have two nickels, but it's weird it's happened twice.
[The other one was A House on the Bayou, which was also pretty averagey, but the kid who played Isaac (the maybe-devil) killed it in the role, imo.]
- The Dropout
( Watched the first three episodes when they dropped. )
- The Batman
( Went to see this one in theaters, earlier than I thought we would. )
Waaaay longer than I meant. If I keep doing this, I have to trim it down, haha.
