Josh and I watched Mission Impossible 2 tonight. It was . . . not good. The main issue is pacing. If you strip out all the long stretches of John Woo slow-mo and edit out a little dialogue, it could be a perfectly solid bottom B action movie. But as is, not so much.

Emma has gone off to camp. Fiona hasn't quite realized she's missing yet; she asked for her a few times today, but didn't dwell on her absence. Hopefully she won't be morose tomorrow.

I'm still reading Trigger Warnings, about to start Jane Eyre, and looking forward to Naomi Novik's Uprooted. We've never read any of her published works, but Josh just finished Uprooted and said it reminds him of Patrick Rothfuss and Kelly Link. So much of fandom has what is to me an inexplicable hateboner for Rothfuss but we only have loveboners in this house for Rothfuss, so high praise indeed.

Have a couple recs from this round of remix:

The Pendragon-Gorlois Family Reunion (The Historically Inaccurate Remix)
Good Omens/Arthurian mythology
Aziraphale and Crowley in Camelot? Perfection.

light as a feather [circling all round the sun remix]

I'm looking forward to reading Uprooted too!
Also, does this mean you never read the Temeraire series? I had such a blast with it. ;)
