Asian sf and fantasy seem to be really big right now. The World SF Convention was in China a year or two ago (with some attendant controversy which I won't go into). Cixin Lu's award-winning Three Body Problem has had successful TV adaptations on both sides of the Pacific. Writers like Huang and Ken Liu (who has translated some of Cixin Lu's work as well as putting out award-winning work of his own) are regulars on award lists.

I made a quart of dandelion iced tea

 

[Mendalla]

That actually sounds better than housework, which is what I did this morning. Could probably use a tall cool glass of that tea.

Rhubarb needs longer before I made the juice so rather than do both on the same day, I decided to do the dandelion today And I have "fancy" ice cubes my niece made to go in the glass

Attended the Bashaw Sr. High musical this afternoon...Disney's "Newsies" - cast was amazing. And, I couldn't help thinking, as I go through my own press issues, how things haven't really changed much since 1899 - the big newspaper giants are still stiffing the little guys

I've had a lazy day today. Having a shower and making coffee was tiring so I decided to stay home from church. I listened to an audiobook while a knitted a hat. Now I'm reading a book about Mrs Lovett. Both books are very good. The lazy has been good for me.

Lazy is good when it's for recovery Though, truthfully lazy is good anytime

9 cups of rhubarb juice

@BethAnne is back at work producing her natural juices. But something tells me she finds such activities great fun.

 

[Mendalla]

LAST as I wonder what rhubarb juice tastes like. I've only had rhubarb in baking.

Yeah. I wonder if you drink the juice or use it in baking.

 

[Mendalla]

@BethAnne will no doubt have an answer. I shall wait in LAST.

Well, if you lived closer, I'd share

supposed to be a hot day so I wanted to get the hot kitchen work done before 8 AM and I did

Found out this morning that the neighbour across the alley behind me was found dead LAST night by someone else in town. Guess he'd been dead on his couch for quite a few days. So sad. And hard to believe that no one noticed that he hadn't been going to the restaurant every day. When I was outside, it was too early in the morning so I wasn't noticing if his vehicle was moving or not during the day. He had turned 70 LAST month. Not sure if he has any family as he lived alone

All the things we do not see (missing light) yet all the opinions rise from those that believe they know everything ...

I've labored in that situation ... and you had to be careful how you expressed unknown things ... imagine admirers of the midnight expanse speaking of what's out there ... never having been there!

Great for assembling myths about what's up ... mentally many cannot digest the thing thus a psyche impossibility! X-ite 'd ...

How does one retrieve such things after they're blown; claims of controlling vast intelligence that is? Then finding it isn't real ... eerie, or Eire?

There are stranger things under the midnight zone ... godson ... if naval a boson ... and then they got into ide ... as often happens in the cooking ... be very cautious about the cat-shy ... could be snatched ...

That's always one of the worries of living alone, I guess. Would depend on your external contacts, too, though. If you still had some kind of job or were active in organizations, it would get noticed quicker, I imagine.

Hm. You'd think the staff would at least notice if he was a "regular" but I don't know the place. Customers might just think he'd eaten at a different time or something.
