In other news, I'm watching For All Mankind, and is almost the Mercury 13 AU I wanted, but with too many square-jawed white dudes. And not enough lesbians. And they just killed off the cynical middle aged female pilot I was rooting for, damn it.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I watched the first two eps of FAM and wasn't impressed. I kept waiting for the AU to get more...A. It almost felt like Moore's research ended in July 1969 and after that he just sort of winged it and accidentally wrote a plot that follows actual history almost exactly?

In episode 3 they bring back some of the Mercury 13, which makes me happy. There are choices I'm not loving, but I'm finding it fairly interesting. Not compelling, though.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Are we still white-fonting the Character from The Mandalorian? I mean, is anyone NOT spoiled about it even if they are not watching the show? For those watching it/don't care, here is an adorable article on Vanity Fair about Baby Yoda (I KNOW it's not really Yoda but honestly what else would you call it) with some very cute anecdotes: [link]
Every single thing about Werner Herzog and his reactions to the critter is gold. I'm with Herzog -- there is something about it that makes me very emotional. I mean, I like the rest of the show fine, but I'm mostly watching it for the character and its interaction with the Mandalorian.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I'm loving it, Vonnie!
I'm still enjoying For All Mankind, and on a similar note, there's a BBC podcast from last summer that did a really deep dive into the Apollo Program, with a focus on the 13 minutes of the Apollo 11 descent to the moon. It's called 13 Minutes to the Moon, sensibly enough. Quite interesting if you're deeply into space history.

I caught up on For All Mankind this week, and I'm glad I did - the show picks up significantly in Ep 3 and continues to get better as it goes.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I watched S3 of The Crown this weekend, ep 1 of S1 of Mrs. Maisel, and am now into S1 of RuPaul's drag race (which I have never seen).
