Reading, TV, Stuff, Etc
In reading news, I am continuing to clip through the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian quicker than expected! I've finished books 2, 3 & 4: Post Captain, HMS Surprise, and The Mauritius Command. Now that I've gotten into them, I don't find the old-fashioned language as difficult to wade through and I may actually understand 1 in 10 of the sailing terms. Also, I am 1000% more interested since they've revealed themselves to be almost as much spy novels as naval adventure novels. I love the spy stuff. Also also the copies my library owns are lovely paperbacks that are the optimal size and texture I want for reading and the weather has been nice so I can read outside and all this combines to quality reading time. I'm now halfway though book 5 Desolation Island and it continues to be a superb series.
I haven't made a vid in awhile but I have ideas and tech update plans and in the meantime I am bidding on a vid to potentially be made for me in the![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
womansplace auction which is raising funds for the National Network of Abortion Funds. Everyone should go check out the offers!
In TV, I watched We Are Lady Parts which was fun and adorable and now I'm mostly re-watching Parks and Rec episodes while I wait in anticipation for new shows. (Oh and also there is a new season of What We Do in the Shadows that's about 3 episodes in!) I'm going to make myself a release schedule cheat sheet since I keep forgetting and looking these up:
Released stuff I intend to watch at some point when I have time/various platform access: Silo and Severence on Apple, The Great on Hulu, 1899 and The Witcher on Netflix, The Terror wherever that is, Interview with the Vampire, and the new Star Trek shows.
