2019: News breaks that Quentin Tarantino is working on a Star Trek movie. Which is great news if you’ve ever wanted to see Uhura’s feet.

Gave the dog trazadone to deal with storms last night. 5AM: Drugged up dog walks around, tries to get in a closet and wanders around, stoned and uncomfortable. I eventually got her to go out, which was what she needed, and she immediately started snoring after coming back in. I haven't slept since.

I've finished my annual year in review write up... and didn't add a few things that I know would cause more waves amongst the family than they would amongst my Internet friends. 1 is about the horrific xmas gift a couple of days ago

Recommendation Time!
The Wayfinder, by Adam Johnson is really as good as all the lists say.
But I can only read like 30-50 pages at a time. The setting and the style makes me have to sit with it a chapter at a time. I'm only halfway through it and dreading the day I finish it.

OK, less contentious post:
You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?
For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

We mostly opted out of christmas gifts this year, but I did pick one thing up I can't wait to give to my dad.
This is the guy that lived in the house in Quaker country (PA/MD border) that I visited back in October. He was my 9th generation uncle, his house was built my great(x6) grandfather.
