I had an opportunity to watch the National Theatre's production of Amadeus this past weekend.

My head damn near exploded at how amazing it was.

@scalzi.com On the recommendation of a partner I read “Kaiju Preservation Society” and I want to thank you—because I laughed out loud every few pages. I’ll be reading “Starter Villain” for one of my 2024 reading challenges—because I can’t even look at the cover without grinning!
