Joker here for Halloween, presenting horror movie reviews and spiders!
AEL: Dreaming Spies, The Tombs of Atuan, The Ill-Made Knight, The Lego Batman Movie, Batwoman, The Farthest Shore, The Marriage of Mary Russell
Dreaming Spies by Laurie R. King — This was quite a good installment of Russ, but before I make any comments on its contents I have to get this out of the way: Jenny Sterlin’s attempts at pronouncing Japanese OH MY FUCKING POE. Her “Canadian...AEL: SU eps and soundtrack, The Sword in the Stone, Wonder Woman, Garment of Shadows, A Wizard of Earthsea, The Queen of Air and Darkness
Steven Universe episodes — HOLY SHIT, you guys. Rose might not have done it after all??? I am so overcome by this, a possibility that had never occurred to me, that I’m not sure I can comment on anything else in this set of episodes. I mean, meeting the...AEL dump
Steven Universe episodes — I watched these episodes around when they came out, but then I put off writing up my thoughts about them for so long I forgot what they were about XD Finally I got brother caught up, and thereby rewatched them myself, so here are...AEL: All Creatures, Skyrim, SU eps, The Language of Bees
I feel like I started writing this AEL already and then maybe lost the draft somehow, ’cause I could swear the SU eps in particular already had some thoughts about them somewhere, and that there were more than just the things I can think of at the moment lined...AEL: Pale Fire, Locked Rooms, Rogue One/The Force Awakens
Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov — I still don’t have words. THAT IS A LIE I HAVE SO MANY WORDS I HAVE THE BEST WORDS. Seriously, though. It’s interesting to note the difference between a work of art you enjoy and recognize as skillfully created, and a...AEL: Final Jeopardy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Game
Final Jeopardy by Linda Fairstein — I saw this book (and by extension this series) lauded as incredibly accurate procedural murder mystery, and I thought I’d check it out. Then I discovered it’s narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt, and became even more...AEL: No.6 eps 10-11/manga vol.1-2, Justice Hall, The Casual Vacancy, Kuroshitsuji ch.117-119, Saint Asonia, Justice League: Doom
No.6 episodes 10-11 — What a leaping of heart I had in episode 10 to see how deeply touched Nezumi has been by Shion’s attitude and character! A respect for Shion’s respect for life is an excellent starting point, and one I can accept in their...AEL: No.6 ep.9, FMA vol.5, JatH #18, Justice Hall, SU eps and book, Princessx2EA, Chely Wright album
No.6 episode 9 — I always appreciate when a visual story can demonstrate death and horror without making me look at too much violence and gore. There are ways of showing the intensity of a horrific scene without resorting to a visual bloodbath. This episode did...AEL: Riordanverse fic, Beowulf, No.6 eps, Justice Hall, SU eps
4 days until I turn 36! Welcome Home by Kazymyr — The second fic in the series I mentioned last time was adorably sweet. Of course I love to see characters falling in love because they like things about each other, but it’s even better when their bond...AEL: O Jerusalem, No.6 ep.5-6, The Phantom of the Opera, Riordanverse fic
11 days until I turn 36! O Jerusalem — I feel like this is the weakest installment in this series, and that it would have been better as a novella than a full-length book. The first half or so (I didn’t bother checking exactly how far I was through it) is...AEL: FMA vol.2, Unbound, BSSMC ep.37-38, The Moor, No.6 ep.1, The Princess and Curdie, Pokémon GO
Fullmetal Alchemist volume 2 (after chapter 6) — Not very good battle/technique analysis, but the confrontation with Scar was nevertheless exciting action and drama. Also, regardless of how I complained before about Lust and Gluttony showing up too early, the...AEL: Dumbing of Age, Daniel Errico books, A Letter of Mary, SKU musical, Zootopia, The Princess and the Goblin, FMA vol. 1
Dumbing of Age — Zombie Girl, a monster bent on destroying my productivity, recommended I check out this webcomic, so I read all six years’ worth of it. That is to say, I glutted on it, to the point where it filled spaces of time that are usually dedicated...I’m the belle of the ball, the star of the show, yeah
Well, I had my first day of school today. It was pretty stupid. We’ll see how stupid it continues to be; of course today was mostly bullshit getting-started stuff and not really any actual school. And they gave us these cheap awful backpacks with the school logo...But if I shot the herder, they’d holler bloody murder
Ach, I’ve gotten into one of those not-writing-in-journal ruts again, haven’t I? Fail. Well, let’s have an entry. Working on ASZz, I keep smarting for lack of the RK volume 2 tankoubon, so I went to ebay (again) in case someone might happen to have...
