I kept today's #audiowalk to 1.45 miles because the humidex is already at 38. Much as I love the heat, it's tough for me to carry enough water for a serious walk when it climbs that high.
My new audio annoys me, too. The performer does that thing where the narration's in an undertone but the dialogue isn't, so I can't adjust the volume to a uniformly comfortable level. Grrr.
so-soInteresting alien concept, but predictable story. I think I really need my sci fi to be queer, or to do something socially or politically subversive with whatever it is that makes their world different: I‘ve read too much for slight tweaks to the chassis to get me excited anymore.
pickEarth has been conquered by an alien race strategically expanding their empire. Donovan is a human soldier with an exocel and the son of the Prime Liaison who works with the ruling aliens and humans. Donovan is out on patrol when he is kidnapped by terrorists and his life gets turned upside down.
I loved this so much. Donovan does stupid stuff but, while I was yelling at him, I was rooting for him. Complex and emotional. All the crab puffs.
I went to my son's middle school open house last night, and they had a book fair. Yep, sure enough, I can't just look without finding something...
