First, I do hope everyone is having a decent weekend. I have been down at Myrtle Beach since this past Sunday (September 3) and I am coming home tomorrow. This week has been fun. Though I didn’t see them a whole lot, it was definitely nice to spend time with my family here. Weather has been decent - except for today in which there was rain and storms. I am not sure why, but I find it… weirdly fascinating when it rains at the beach.

Saw a show last night called ICONIC! As someone who (as of late actually more so) has a problem with going out where there’s lots of people, even if it’s just family- I’m working on it though- I gotta admit, this was fun. Essentially a live musical type of show with a variety of music ( country, Classic Rock, Disney songs, pop, and even gospel) with a lot of costumes and effects. Also I got a new squishable plush pillow to add to my ever- growing Plush Squad. This one is a Yeti. Needs a name. :P

Another thing… where we stayed this week has a Tiki place: a little cafe/ bar where you can get food and drinks by the pool. I don’t actually drink alcohol but I have discovered some absolutely delicious and … kind of addicting if I’m being honest Mocktails or non-alcohol drinks. My personal favorite is either the Beach Bum (orange juice, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, with a candy shark) or Tiki Punch ( pineapple juice, Sprite, grenadine , in a bucket). Mmmmmm…. !

What Else Should Go Here?

Fandom Bits- Well, the Works Reveals for the Just Married Exchange , after what felt like forever of a delay, were finally opened up this week. This was actually a very fun and slightly challenging exchange. It was my first year participating in it and I like the idea ( all prompts are based on Marriage- related tropes , such as accidental marriage, fake married, Alien Marriage, etc.) . It was a good way for me to practice plotting and actually writing a complete story. I received two (2) gifts. Both are DW- a 5/ Nyssa and 8/Charley. And as of now, I’ve read one of them. It was excellent!! Author Reveals are, I think, sometime tomorrow. As of now, I am unsure if I will participate in next year’s exchange.

Speaking of Doctor Who related things, I have been following the Once and Future releases from Big Finish. So far my thoughts are mainly: Past Lives was okay but forgettable and maybe not the best way to start. Artist at the End was enjoyable (though call me bias since I love the Fifth Doctor and want more of this particular team-up) and I can see it not being for everyone. I have yet to finish A Genius for War , but I liked what I heard of it. It feels more like a regular audio. Two’s Company is firmly in the “Weird Team” Category ( Sixth Doctor, Jackie Tyler, Harry Sullivan, Lady Christina de Souza, the Renegade) and feels… more than a little unbalanced in places, but not the worst thing. And as we draw closer to November, my expectations for the 60th are pretty simple: A good one. That’s it really.

I feel the same about the Once and Future series. It's just not been a particularly interesting idea so far. I hope the ending justifies the series. Artist at the End was good, but then that could have been any ordinary Doctor Who story, which was probably why it was good.

Same.

That's basically how Two's Company is, though parts of it do work.

I started the newest one (The Martian Invasion of... something) and more or less stopped after about 20-25 minutes. I might try it again later, but so far it's not for me.
