I am late to the party because I had not watched the episode until today. It has been very interesting and yes, it reminded me Demonreach too.
Oh, by the way, in the following episode there was a funny Easter Egg. When the Enterprise is

.  I had not watched more episodes so far.

Hello there!

Regen, conversely, our days are becoming warmer. But we are expecting some rain today and then perhaps we will have a few cold days. Also, September is normally a rainy month, so we are preparing.

I also thought JB would be writing CS next. I agree, if he is writing MM, that is better. I really love CS but DF is still my favourite.

I am so glad you are excited about learning something new for your work, Regen. I hope it is not too difficult to master.

I have a very rusty French now. I could read it very well but now I can't. I've forgotten too much.

Oh, I've watched a Star Trek" Strange New Worlds episode and it has an Easter Egg! You can see the TARDIS. So fun  :)

I was in Mme Tussaud in 2017. It was great and I loved it. I have so many pictures, with Patrick Stewart for example. Brad Pitt. Helen Mirren. I also loved the photographer that looked real. I just checked and I have a picture with the Terminator but mostly in the background. I did not care so much for him. I do have a wonderful picture with Spielberg. I wonder if there is still a queen Elizabeth sculpture. That day we also went to Ripley and it was so fun  :)

I think your family did the right choice. It is impossible to see everything but it is important to tak the time to enjoy what we see.

Apparently the Natural Sciences Museum at my city is already selling merchandising of the sea expedition I mentioned before. Specially the literal "star" of the show. An orange star that they said was similar to Patrick from Spongebob. It was nicknamed "la estrellita culona" which means the little big-butted starfish  ;D
You can see why here

Very cool and interesting. I just watched some.
I am glad you liked them  :)

I am glad you are safe home and that you and your family had a good time. What you told us about the beach sounds so fun in a relaxing, cool way. I am sure there was a very pretty landscape too. Thanks for sharing that, I had not heard about the Dinosaur Coast.

dresedenfiles.fandom.com says Backup and The Warrior and Aftermath and Bombshells are all "novelettes," and The Law is a novella.
I'm... not sure I'm helping.
 ::)
You are, because I asked if Backup was not a novella, and, apparently, it is not. It is a novelette. So, we are probably expecting for a story longer than Backup. That is cool.

Yesterday we visited the ruins of Tintagel Castle and Merlin's Cave. Very beautiful, great day. I drove the rented car. I have driven on the wrong side before ;D, but this was almost two decades ago. So far, the car is still alive and undamaged. We only got honked at in London, but who in their right mind would drive in a city like London? Or Paris. Or any big city. We just had to because the rental agency was there.
We will return home the day after tomorrow.

I just checked those places and they are awesome! I am glad your family and the car are well  :D Keep enjoying!

The expedition I talked you about ended a few minutes ago, and it was super fun and awesome. The ship and sub will be on Uruguay in a few weeks.

Up to now, the only formats Jim has released from others perspectives are short stories and micro fictions. I'm not thinking he'd release a novella from another character's point of view.
Isn't Backup a novella? (It is an honest question, I am not sure of the differences between a short story and a novella).

Personally, I think that if Jim is writing a story called Out law after writing one called The Law there would be something linking them, probably the lawyer. Which does not mean that we won't have the outlaw part of Harry being at odds with the White Council.

Thank you.
I read something about a short story with Goodman Grey, probably Mr. Petty, I did not have a name.

I'm not subscribed to the newsletter, but someone in Reddit said some days ago that the newsletter announced that Jim had married  :)

Hello Weird! I am on a weird mood myself, so I want to share some fun facts with you, hopefully you will find them interesting.

Here is the first. Currently some of the scientists of my country are doing a deep sea exploration n one of our main coast cities. They have a submarine that records awesome images and they collect samples. It is wonderful. It has been going for several days and it is going to end by Sunday I think. They are streaming every dive and it has becoming a huge hit. In a moment where the government is basically attacking all science, especially basic one, this is huge. The excitement of the scientist aboard is contagious too and I think many children are considering a career in biology thanks to this. This is done thanks to the  Schmidt Ocean Institute, who does this sort of things around the world. Apparently not everywhere it is such a hit. Here everyone is talking about it. If you want to take a look you can find the already recorded videos and often there is still the live streaming. Right now, for instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViB0Vm4wxqU

2) Historical thing. In 1806 here in Buenos Aires, there was a priest called Saturnino Segurola, He had studied medicine, he was also a librarian and he was in charge of a foster service. He also had a brother who had a big state, I am not sure if the orphanage was in his place. Well, thing is Saturnino was informed about the advances of medicine, and in that year he began vaccinating the orphan children (first, and then other children too) against chickenpox. He was so successful that even after the change of government (in 1810 we began having an autonomous government, first big step towards independence) he was charged with the vaccination program in the city and sourroundings. Well, the first vaccinations in 1806 were applied under a big tree (a "pacará", Enterolobium contortisiliquum). Well, that tree became an historical monument. I think it was the first time a living organism was declared a monument in Argentina. Well, the original tree is gone now, for old age, but there is one "child" that grew from its seeds and it is now in the same location. It is a big tree and it's in a small, preserved square, now sourrounded by buildings. it happens to be in the corner of my dentist office  :) I like that story and I wonder what Segurola would think if he knew that in 2025 there would be antivaxxers and that, for example, in USA the measles vaccination is fast-dropping  :(

This concludes my weird post. Hope you enjoyed it.
