I'm caught up on season 2 of Interview with the Vampire (and rewatched the first) and I still can't believe this got greenlit. Some exec was like "Ah, yes, the Gay Vampire Sex Extended Universe, we're pouring a ton of money into that, we're making it one of our juggernaut productions" and so far it seems to be working. I love what an established fandom can do -- which is ironic, since I have yet to spot a VC book fan who likes the show. I *would* consider myself a VC book fan, but it's been so long since I've read them. My only holiday plan was actually to reread them all at the beach, but so far 1) I haven't found the box they've been exiled to, and 2) it's been raining since I got here.

I've been reading manuscripts for a publisher as a side gig, which has slowed down my reading for pleasure. I'd finally started Maurice before my latest assignments because, no nicer way to say it, I feel like I've been exposed to too many contemporary novels lately and I needed a detox via something from an era when we still believed in the value of descriptions and SAT words (I may be using this word incorrectly because I come from a country without SATs). Also every single one of my friend told me to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, which I'm finally doing and it's totally living up to the hype for me. I love reading about cerebral obsessive people not talking about their feelings and if you're like this too you may want to check it out.

Also, my new TV-as-background-noise of choice is Friends, because it's on legal streaming and it's got a ton of seasons, and I realized I somehow Mandela Effect'd myself in remembering Chandler Bing as a nice guy, which he isn't at all on rewatch. Huh.

I recently got my hands on Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and felt the same! There was no way it could live up to the hype, and then I immediately ended up finding the main characters charming and really enjoyed it all.
