Passed the 30k mark. Yay me!
I had a bit of a TV day. A while
ago I picked up a DVD boxed set of every episode of Agatha Christie’s Poirot
with David Suchet. It’s a beast. All 17 series plus documentaries. With a screen
time of 5050 minutes, the only way to deal with it is in small chunks. Like EVERY
large project, eh?
I have finally got through the
first three series. It’s super educational to learn story-craft. Christie was a
master. And I often scribble down notes or ideas for my index card idea box.
Some of the early writers, like
Anthony Horowitz, have gone on to bigger and better things of their own. And it’s
also fun to see some famous faces among the cast.
Plus, kid 2 and I watched another
episode of Midnight, Texas. Lemuel and Olivia’s bed is amazing. I did get
distracted by her hair as well. ‘Who did that three level fishbone braid for
her? There is no way she could do that herself.’ Kid 2 rolls eyes at me.
Then we stayed on for the first
episode of A Discovery of Witches.
Oh my… it is possible that this
blog could just become a thirst blog for that show. Twilight was how I started
writing and those vampires were sexless, fangless, khaki wearing bloodless
disasters. Matthew Goode as an educated professor vampire is totally my vibe.
*fans self*
The library has the books!
What’s that Japanese word for a
never ending ‘to be read’ pile?
Tsundoku
(Japanese: 積ん読) is
acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without
reading them. The term originated in the Meiji era (1868–1912) as Japanese
slang
That’s it. Sighs.
