Scientists discover a time capsule...from the future!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Events. I've done so many of them this year and I have a load more lined up (at least 10, I think, in the next few months). From someone who dies with nerves at them, here's my tips:

Writing events - dos and don'ts - Jo Zebedee

I reviewed Mushashi (historical fiction), by Eiji Yoshikawa: Thaddeus the Sixth: Review: Musashi, by Eiji Yoshikawa

Really liked this book.

A review of J Y Yang's The Black Tides of Heaven

Unintentional but the book fits nicely with Pride Month

 

[thaddeus6th]

I review a book of four very old plays, which are still excellent (NB they're all very short so I've included zero story details, beyond a general comment, as there's only really a premise and spoilers to speak of): Thaddeus the Sixth: Medea and Other Plays, by Euripides

Just added a new blog post: How J.R.R. Tolkien inspires my writing

Happy Interdependence Day Weekend! I'm a little late to the party but now it's time to crank it! Here's my playlist of Tibetan throat-singing!

My spoiler-laden thoughts on The Last Jedi, possibly introducing a new flaw: Thaddeus the Sixth: So, The Last Jedi [spoilers galore]

[Short version: wasn't a fan, think some criticism valid, some overdone].

 

[Cathbad]

"Tosh" is bad?

 

[thaddeus6th]

Tosh is nonsense. It is akin to balderdash, piffle, and tommyrot.

 

[CTRandall]

I thought "tommyrot" was a condition suffered by British soldiers in the wet and muddy conditions of the trenches in WW1

 

[thaddeus6th]

It might have been (although the term I heard was Trench Foot), but it's also used to mean nonsense.

Few thoughts on why I prefer Scrubs to Brooklyn 99

What you say about it sometimes being okay to be serious nails one of the criticisms I've had of a lot of recent action movies, particularly Marvel.

Few thoughts on why I prefer Scrubs to Brooklyn 99

Interesting! I've never watched Scrubs, but I occasionally watch B99 with my daughter, who loves the show. She's just spent the first part of her summer holiday binge-watching the entirety of The Office and is looking for a new show — I think I'll suggest she look at Scrubs.

Do so! I think Scrubs is the best of the American sitcoms I've watched. And I think you can definitely see Scrubs' influence on B99.
