part 367 bears and wolves oh my

[aphanon_meme]

YOU DID IT, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. Well, it's been a year. I hope it was a good one for you--and that 2018 is even better! And maybe we'll finally get that fansub of even one of the musicals... just maybe.

Enjoy part 367!

Re: ITT: what have you read/watched/etc lately?

Sometimes I Lie - lots of fun, a very dark and entertaining thriller, very very much recommend if you like Gillian Flynn's stuff but you've run out of Flynn and you're in the mood for a brisk page-turning twisty tale. I am pleased that I was unable to guess the truth (well, I got a bit of it, but certainly not all). That said, I feel like this isn't the sort of book that invites much deeper thought or anything, and it's not quite as sharp as Flynn's writing. It feels like a fun movie that you enjoy but will probably not rewatch.

Aurora - oh my god I did not expect to cry buckets at the end. I hate crying. I never cry. And this was the best kind of cry. It wasn't a cheap tear-jerker obvious push-the-tragedy-button maudlin sadness but a kind of more... I dunno, it's a bit hard to explain, but this novel encompassed so much of the fantastic and terrible things about humanity as a whole, about the ambitions and sacrifices and pitfalls and wonders of our entire species, and literally at the end of this book I can't quite pin down why I'm so deeply moved and blubbering because it's not even a sad ending, overall, it's just... It's just great. And this is the sort of book I'd definitely reread sometime. I'm glad I gave it a shot, because I'd been afraid I would be bored; it's very long, and it's not quite the sort of scifi that is usually my thing. Fortunately I was intrigued by the premise of a different approach to the idea of generation ships and space colonization and decided to try.
