Well. I learned today that dark purple/blue/gray/silver eyeshadow does not at all go with the berry colored lipstick I have. This may be a factor of, the berry color is lighter than I expected, or it may be a factor of berry + dark/cool eyeshadow = no. Further investigation required. As Rorschach would say. But not about makeup.
Finished Helix last night! Now we get to wait impatiently for the next couple eps, then wait impatiently for it to get renewed. Hatake is still my favorite character, continually followed closely by Daniel/Miksa and Anana. If that's her name. It sounds like a fruit. Which I guess is the hazard of watching shows like this with multiple language backgrounds. Then I got to watch the supplemental videos with Hiroyuki Sanada reciting over one of the missing players dying horrib... wait a second. Never mind.
So, um, yeah. Anyway. Tonight. Fantasia! Because that's just what you want after plague zombies turn into immortals trying to take over the world. And also Chinese food because the hell with cooking, tonight I am going straight home, ordering food, and watching Fantasia. I'll cook after Fantasia, if I really feel a need to do something with the chicken and beef.

I don't think I've done one of these in a while. Trying to think what I have been reading. I've reread all the Tiger and Del novels because why not. And because I was tired and sad and needed some comfort reading. They're pretty simplistic, but the world is solid and the description is good and they're generally a good time.
I read Those Who Hunt The Night by Barbara Hambly, which was slow going at first but as the vampire thawed out to the protagonist so did I. Which isn't so much a reflection on which character I bonded with as, I think, the story became less frustrated and frustrating and moved a long at a better pace. Fortunately that didn't take too long. I did like it, and I need to get the next few at some point. I also read her book Bride of the Rat God, which was wonderful and engaging and vivid and I really wish there were more in that universe. On the other hand what I loved about it was more the plot and the activity in the story than anything, and the end of it didn't leave much room for future similar endeavors, so maybe it is best as a stand alone.
I read Thunderbird Falls, the next Walker Papers book by CE Murphy. I continue to love all the characters in it, except I kind of wanted to throttle the main character because a) be more suspicious and b) DUDE. A PERSON COMES TO TEACH YOU OUT OF THE BLUE STARTING AS A SNAKE IN YOUR PERSONAL MIND-GARDEN AND CALLS HERSELF MORNINGSTAR? HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM POP CULTURE RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE? I do hope I'm not spoiling anything with this but I'm leaving it out in the open because I'm also not telling you if I was right or wrong. But when I started the book and got there I was all SHE IS TOTALLY EVIL. As you do when snakes in your garden call themselves somethingsomething Morningstar.
Anyway. Right now I'm also reading Long Walk to Freedom, because I enjoy stabbing myself in the psyche (I started that one on the way home from visiting family and Grandpa's ashes, yay masochism!) and still with the White Goddess, and at some point I need to pick up Women Who Run... etc again, and I've also started the Black Company novels by Glen Cook. The boy likes them, I tried to read them a while back and didn't make it through the first few chapters, but then I listened on audiobook. I've discovered audiobook makes a lot of things more palatable! Sadly I don't process audio story format well. Soooooo yeah. I should also work my way through some of the other shit on my Kindle. I guess that's also what long plane rides are for. Hi Portland. I will be with you soon!
ETA: I forgot one. The Devil's Alphabet by Daryl Gregory. The fact that I forgot it doesn't bode well, but it did actually keep me wanting to get back to it when I wasn't reading it for a while. That said, by the time it did end I was deeply unsatisfied. The mystery that I no longer cared about was solved, and in fact I hadn't given two shits about that mystery since maybe a chapter after it was introduced. The mysteries that I did care about? Unsolved. Except one, which was a disappointing resolution when none of the OTHER damn mysteries were resolved. I .... am not sure I can recommend this book. If you do pick it up, keep in mind that you're reading a murder mystery, and the author isn't actually interested in anything else. Or at least it doesn't seem that way.
