Of Earth and Stars

I finally finished reading An Immense World by Ed Yong this morning. Part of me felt guilty for taking so long, but, well, the paperback version I purchased had ridiculously tiny print, so required reading with both reading glasses + reading light, and is not something I could simply lie down and absorb passively. Also, each chapter is so full of interesting research and covers several different species and their unique senses/Umwelts, and so it is definitely a book that requires a little bit of savoring and time for adsorption. It's Ed Yong, though, so it's accessible, and views the world with Delight, which is as it should be.

I also finished up Patchwork Dolls a little bit ago. I enjoyed it, the feel of it reminded me a lot of "Tales from the Loop", but with a bit of a feminist undertone. My book reviews are saved here.

Podcast wise, I am behind in everything, but still enjoying catching up on back episodes of WTNV while cleaning. One day I will be caught up (except they keep producing -- not that I'm complaining!) That said, the Weather in one of the episodes I heard today was absolutely stunning.

We are still watching "The Pitt" (♥ though the formula is predictable); "Reservation Dogs" (♥ adore, and genuinely funny); "Hacks" (decent); and "Tiny Beautiful Things" (not sure how I feel about this one yet). I'm also catching up on Grey's Anatomy (which, I know, okay, but I started that show by binging the first 8+ seasons while recovering from hip surgery and having to pass a lot of time on a stationary bike, and now I must just see it through). Also enjoying new episodes of "Bridgerton", and I do not care if L. refers to it as my smut, it is fancy woke Regency fantasy smut, and I will enjoy turning off my brain and letting myself enjoy the inanity of it all because...pretty flowers, pretty clothing, pretty peoples.

Anyhoo...the house is cleaned (~*\o/*~), the back porch is swept, and I have a little time to relax before this evening's festivities.

May you be safe, may you be happy, may you be content and at peace. ♥
