All right, we are nearly two weeks into the new year, and I am just now getting to this lovely blog after months of silence (part of which took place in 2015). I've been reading a lot—a variety of books, from kid lit to YA to grownup lit. I enjoyed Jenny Lawson's Furiously Happy, and it almost made me wish I had a real mental illness instead of garden variety worries and anxieties. Kidding! I was doing some writing until those pesky holidays set in, although I can't complain too much about going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, FLA, and then relaxing on a Disney cruise in the Bahamas with my peeps. The rat race has taken hold of my throat, but I am hoping to calm down a bit next month and concentrate more fully on zee craft. Although having a steady income is also something that I've simply got to pay attention to as well, also.
Really enjoying catching up on Season 3 of Orphan Black. Such great acting, and the storytelling is also pretty good, even though I have some questions....Most of them are "Huh?" and "Wha—?" but still, they stir in my brain. I guess I wonder how much advance planning the creators/writers are doing or if they are just answering to the whims of fans or the restrictions of budget. Well, we'll see, once the series is all done (that kid Kira keeps getting older, so they might have to do a time jump), and we can watch it any time while folding laundry as we do with Buffy/Angel reruns.
