"good enough" is, in fact, good enough

I've seen all three Disney+ Doctor Who episodes. Not much sticking in my brain after them--as in, I've forgotten details and I don't have time to refresh my memory before typing this--but the villain in the 3rd episode was a delight. As was Ncuti Gadwa as the new doctor. I'm not cutting for that as a spoiler, given that the news has been out for... a year, maybe? At any rate: if episodes continue to show up on Disney+ when I'm still subscribing to that platform, I'll probably watch. But Doctor Who is unlikely to be the show that motivates me to keep / resubscribe to Disney+.

Housemate A and I watched the 80s movie Ladyhawke. I'd forgotten that Matthew Broderick was in it, which is hilarious, given his key role in the film. Still a delight, if extremely dated due to its soundtrack.

I reread almost all of Lois McMaster Bujold's World of the Five Gods series. Ista, my beloved! Penric, my darling! And, er, those other two novels that aren't about Ista or Penric, which I therefore didn't re-read. At any rate: WHAT A TREAT. AGAIN. In fact, I'm listening to the audiobook of Paladin of Souls, even though I just re-read it. (Thinking about it: reading a text and then listening to it may be the way to get me to enjoy audiobooks. Hm.)

And now it's time to work again. Bah, humbug.

An excellent reread! (There's apparently a new Penric novella slated for January as well, very excited for that.)
