If the dinosaur is not large enough to carry you comfortably, riding a tandem bike with them is also acceptable.

Watched (live-action TV): The Librarians 1.3: That was actually better, without the chief librarian to solve everything and tell everyone what to do. I also liked the way the thing was written, very much like a Fallen London status that modifies all your cards until you get rid of it somehow.

Read (novel): Splinter Angel vol 1 (AvaritiaBona): Isekai litRPG, a bodyguard is pulled into fantasyland where she gets an OP bodyguarding class and starts leveling up while trying to find out what is going on with having been sucked into another universe. The gimmick of this one is that the MC is, if not a sociopath, personality disorder of some kind. She’s not mean, but she’s extremely unfussed about violence and also not great at peopling.

Read (from the shelf): FAIL.

Written (second rewrite of Geometry for Mutants): 302.

If you don’t, it’ll mean war.

Watched (live-action TV): The Librarians 1.2: And the first adventure is concluded, the world is saved, but pretty much any other pair kissing would be better than that.

Read (manga): Dandadan vol 18 (Yukinobu Tatsu): Speed Boy finally gets into the cursed board game, bearing important information… one round too late. Now everything is even more doomed.

Read (novel): A Journey in Other Worlds (John Jacob Astor): Written in the 1890s, about life in the year 2000. It is of course horrifyingly racist and sexist by our standards, but has all-electric everything, habitable planets throughout the solar system, a project to straighten out the Earth’s axis so the climate is always perfect, and Christian antigravity. The end goes into  interplanetary afterlife theory, which seemed vastly unnecessary to me, but I guess men hadn’t yet discovered writing without exposition. An artifact of its time.

Written (rewrite of new project): 159. But although this new way of doing the thing is definitely better than the original, I think it’s not good enough yet.

Are bats themselves seasonal, or do they need a separate season reference?

Kind of did some work, I guess. Having energy and being awake is hard.

Watched (live-action TV): The Librarians 1.1: Marith’s right that it has Dr Who energy with the cheesy verve, but it’s really really not Leverage, and I can’t help comparing them since it’s the same director and some actors.

Read (manga): A Bride’s Story vol 11 (Kaoru Mori): All Smith and Talas and company this volume.

Read (novel): Sloppy Firsts (Megan McCafferty): High-school drama, but even though the protagonist is straight (ew, boys), she is charmingly misanthropic. Written as her actual diary entries and letters to her long-distance best friend, so there is some unreliability to the narration, or at least a lack of strict chronological ordering.

Written (new project): 264. Sage helped by deleting a paragraph so I had to write it again.
