icepixieHello, my internets! It's been a while, hasn't it? Not much has been going on, so I haven't had anything to say. Work remains enjoyable. I'm making progress--creeping progress, but still progress--on the second draft of the space pilots story.
I'm also blazing through my Farscape rewatch at the rate of roughly three-fourths of a season per week. Almost done with S2 now. There are highs and not-so-highs; the really cracked-out episodes are shining jewels, but some of them do feel a little like they're checking off boxes: "Rashomon episode, check; characters grow old on a planet but don't remember it due to the machinations of handwavium, check..." Everyone onscreen does a standout job, and they frequently rescue less interesting plots--as does the worldbuilding that hangs on to said plots--but the foundations are...a bit creaky.
The "Look at the Princess" trilogy was way better than I remembered it, though. Wow.
Anyway, that's what I've been doing. Well, that and reading, which I suppose is a given.
In non-pedestrian news, Burn Notice returns tonight! Hooray!
