loosing steam, watching tv

It's a busy week, so I've lost some steam with writing. But I have caught some of Patriot Act on Netflix. Funny, sharp, and smart. Anyone else watch it?
(I should clarify -- by 'some', I mean I have now watched all of the episodes.)

review: Hello, Universe

Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly

This book was captivating. Usually I listen to audiobooks while I'm doing something else. So, I finished the something else I was doing and didn't want to move on to the next thing where I'd have to stop listening, so I stayed put and found something to do with my fingers--untangling knots in the fringe of a blanket, for goodness sake--and kept right on listening. The characters in this book are interesting and varied, and even though you know the author is really the 'universe', the way everything resolves is satisfying. It is a story about friendship, and of children feeling isolated because of their own personal attributes, and still finding that friendship.
