What I'm... No. 13

I really feel like there are more books but, for the life of me, I cannot remember what they are.

Reading:

Books:

The Fifty Year Mission Volume I: The First 25 Years by Edward Gross & Mark A. Altman

I really loved this. Star Trek is something I have been interested in for a long time and learning how the show was made and what the people who made it feel about it. The entire world of television is fascinating to me, especially low-budget television.

Star Wars: Bloodline by Claudia Gray

This was an okay book. I was really interested in learning about Leia's thoughts regarding the failing bureaucracy of the New Republic, but a lot of the book dragged. Little disappointing. 

Star Wars: Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston

I loved this book. It was very clever and well thought out. I quite liked the story and the way it was written.

Star Wars: Battlefront: Twilight Company by Alexander Freed

This book was very good. I enjoy reading about characters not featured in the movies because I feel like the author can do something new, and I like new.

The Book of Joy by The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu

This book was very interesting. I am neither Catholic nor Buddist, but I feel like the discussions in this book are universal and very important.

The Romanov Sisters by Helen Rappaport

This book was very interesting. I have always loved the Romanovs, and I find their plight both inevitable and avoidable.

The Pope of Physics by Gino Segre and Bettina Hoerlin

Enrico Fermi is fascinating. And he built the first sustained nuclear reactor underneath the squash courts at the University of Chicago.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams

I quite liked this book. It was very funny, but I feel like there was not a high proportion of mystery for a mystery novel.

The Mandibles: A Family 2029-2047

This book was amazing. It's the Great Depression crossed with the hyperinflation of the mark in post-WWI Germany crossed with scifi crossed with postapocalyptic novels. What falls first when the world implodes?

Listening:

Music:

Paramore

I am really loving Paramore recently. Hard Times is one of my favorite songs, and I am very excited for After Laughter.

Fall Out Boy

I am very excited about Fall Out Boy's new album. Although the new song is not my favorite kind of music, I am excited for them to try something new.

All Time Low

All Time Low's new album is also very exciting. I loved Future Hearts and am very excited to see what they will do next.

Vampire Weekend

I dearly love Unbelievers, and who doesn't love a band that sings about Oxford Commas?

Ed Sheeran

You may know that I love Ed Sheeran, and that hasn't changed.

Florence + The Machine

Honestly, if one of your official artist photos is one with gold glitter all over your hands, what is not to love?

Green Day

Still loving Green Day. Contemplating going to a concert.

Watching:

Movies:

Moana

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Moana is my favorite new Disney movie, and I cannot wait to watch it again. Every time I hear How Far I'll Go, I start to cry a little bit. The movie was just amazing.

Sing

This movie was really cute and funny. Plus, Scarlett Johansson can sing?!

Trolls

This was just a cute, dumb movie. Nothing wrong with that.

The BFG

This was a good movie. Not my favorite, not my least favorite.

Strange Magic

This movie was completely ridiculous. Much as I love George Lucas, there is a reason other people edited his plot. Completely bonkers and cliche to boot.

Sky High

The redeeming factor of this movie is Danielle Panabaker. Otherwise, Disney Channel cliche.

TV:

The Flash

I literally think it would be impossible for me to love The Flash any more than I already do.

Arrow

I am now in Arrow season 4, and I quite like it. Oliver is getting over his emo phase, and the team is starting to come together proper.

Supergirl

I like Supergirl now, but when it was owned by Fox or whoever, it was not good. But I now have to go back to the beginning and get caught up: a summer project.

Dancing with the Stars

I love Simone Biles, and her dance to How Far I'll Go is my favorite thing to ever come from the show.

Doctor Who

I love Doctor Who! And the new season is really amazing. Everything so far is amazing, and I love Bill. I am really excited to see what comes next.

Class

I love Class, and I love that Doctor Who is doing something different and new and cool. I like the characters and I am intrigued by their future.

Property Brothers

Something I watch when I am not really doing anything. Has anyone else noticed that all their houses look sort of similar?

Fixer Upper

I like Fixer Upper better than Property Brothers, but a lot of their houses still look the same.

Victoria

I LOVE VICTORIA! I love Jenna-Louise Coleman, I love Victoria herself, I love Albert, I love the way they did the show, the way it was organized, just the whole show was amazing!

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

I love Dirk Gently's Holistic Dectective Agency. The TV show better than the book. I feel like Dirk on the show has a layer of honesty that the book didn't have.

YouTube:

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

I love the Lizzie Bennet Diaries! I feel like the series expanded on all the characters and situations I felt were underused in Pride and Prejudice itself. I am just really happy with the way the show was made.

vlogbrothers

It is no secret that I love vlogbrothers, and that has no changed. Still love 'em.

Dan & Phil

Still love these dorks too.

100Days

John Green and his best friend in a 'healthy midlife crisis' that involves swearing, incessant DFTBA.com promos, bad jokes, and complaints about not being able to listen to music while exercising. Plus, I was introduced to my meditation app by this show.

Geek & Sundry

I love Geek & Sundry. My brother recently bought Ticket to Ride, inspired by TableTop. I regularly watch Critical Role, even though I am way behind. I watch TableTop a lot (love Wil Wheaton!). I watched all of the Guild, and watch the Flog (Felicia Day!). I am also slowly making my way through Space Janitors.

Felicia Day

I LOVE FELICIA DAY! I am watching the Dragon Age webseries, and her gaming streams. I also recently watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, which is the best ever!

Crash Course

I love Crash Course. Currently watching: Astronomy, World History 2, Physics, Philosophy, Literature, Mythology, Intellectual Property, and Sociology. I plan to watch the American Government and Economics series this summer along with my online class.

Girl Meets Pixels

I love Girl Meets Pixels, her current households are amazing.

Rosianna Halse Rojas

Rosianna has the greatest taste in books I have yet run across on YouTube.

Squaresville

This is a webseries inspired by living in a small town, and features Mary Kate Wiles, a super great actress from the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

And there's everything. I really have to keep better track of my books in the future.

Chorus of the Day!

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

Last Chorus of the Day:

Say Goodbye by Green Day
