Apr. 21st, 2020 11:41 pmI've slept very late the last couple of days. It's been nice to have the option because Scott's been staying up later than usual. He's playing Axis and Allies with his brother, our nephew, and a couple of college buddies. Scott's brother is in Seattle, so from his point of view, he's only staying up until midnight which isn't quite as unwise as staying up until 3 a.m.
I wouldn't mind so much if it were feasible for me to go to bed before Scott does. I'm going to have to make Scott go to bed earlier tonight because we have a tele-appointment at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
I've been listening to the back episodes of the Apocalist Book Club podcast. The podcasters have been reading old apocalypse novels and then talking about them. They started with Le Dernier Homme (The Last Man) by Jean-Baptiste De Grainville which was published in 1805 and have gotten up through Theodore Savage by Cicely Hamilton which was published in 1922. They discuss the plots in detail.
I've been thinking that I might try watching Naruto since I've actually written fic for it, but I'm not sure I can manage it. I got about three episodes in yesterday. It's just that the kids are painful to watch. I can already tell that a lot of what I assumed was fanon comes from the anime. I knew it wasn't from the manga. I can also see a lot of 'the author had a better idea later' points in these episodes. There are also a lot of jokey bits that cause fans much grief when they try to reconcile the worldbuilding implications.
