Hey there. I'm Autumn. ;D
I've had my knee surgery last week. As of today, I am allowed to go without crutches, but I have to be careful not to exaggerate what I'm doing. So no jumping up and down with one leg, jumping from the roof and landing on one leg or such stuff, lol.
I have finally finished Alera. I have the feeling, he might return there for the next story after Cinder Spires, and he also said he wanted to write epic fantasy.
Well, wasn't Alera just that? OK, he wrote it because of a bet, but it is Fantasy, it is another world, there are fantastic creatures, and they are doing the fighting with swords and so on.
Dina:
((((((((Regen))))))))))
Congratulations about your surgery! It sounds as all is going well, so, jokes aside, take a lot of care of yourself.
Any news about the kitten?
I have not read Alera, but according to what I hear about people, it is epic fantasy all right.
Apparently our young people have forgotten about the picnic tradition, there were only a few of them doing it. It seems that after the pandemics, the tradition was lost. But many of them gather for a pizza or something and there were sweet couples everywhere. Also, for reasons I am not sure but I think they are related to a TV show, yellow flowers were the must.
I bought Warriorborn, the Cinder Spires Novella, but I had not read it yet. I also watched "Fast X" and oh, those films have no sense at all, but there are a lot of explosions and excitement.
Regenbogen:
Explosions are always fun ;)
That's sad about your tradition.
The kittens are getting bigger. They already eat some meat and run around chasing each other and fighting. Absolutely adorable!
We have decided: the male will be Leonardo now, not Loki.
Btw we are watching Ragnarøk on Netflix. It's a fun Norwegian series. The theory is: Ragnarøk has already happened. The gods lost, but the Jötnar are still there. Disguised as a family.
And it seems like Ragnarøk is supposed to repeat itself, because there are some people who can be awakened to be the gods. One boy is supposed to be Thor, he has a brother who (surprise!) has a different father: the Jotun family father.
In the episode today he had a tapeworm. A very big one, which has survived its extraction. LOL the Midgard Serpent is a tapeworm!!!!
Then there is an old one eyed man in a wheelchair. Surprise! Odin.
And LOL he is called Wotan Wagner. Wagner!!!!! ;D
Yes, I am having fun with this.
Now there is a valkyrie. They didn't say she was, but today she chose a boxer to fight for their cause.
I also have purchased Warriorborn and have already started reading it. So far it is interesting.
Dina:
I am sorry, I thought I had already answered this.
Yes, it is a shame about the tradition, perhaps it will be resurrected some year.
Ragnarok sounds fun, I am not sure I have it in Netflix (different countries have different shows available, of course.) Wotan, of course. But Wagner :)
I began Warriorborn but I've read too little so far.
In other topics, I am planning to go to the theatre to see Hunting in Venice tomorrow, the Agatha Christie's adaptation by Kenneth Branagh (spelling?). I have read lots of A. Christie's books, I love them, but I know this movie is only loosely inspired by one of them. I am not sure what to expect, and that is good.
Dina:
Hi Weird!
I enjoyed the movie. It has a different feeling than most Agatha Christie's adaptations but the core of her novels were there. There was something unexpected with a character, and Venice is a really good setting for a mystery. And Kenneth Branagh does a fantastic job.
I also finished Warriorborn, and I liked it. Looking forward to the aftermath of it in the next book :). I commented a little more in the CS spoilers section.
