Invisibilia

Last night I was watching an episode of Stranger Things. 

It was a pretty long day at work. I listened to Invisibilia which was discussing the concept of "fake it till you make it", how if you pretend to be something (say confident or whatever) you can sometimes become that, Answer Me This, Ron's Amazing Stories presenting a story about an astronaut stuck on Pluto for years who starts hallucinating due to loneliness, and Mystery Theater about a woman who wants to stop doctors performing a life-saving operation on her evil son-in-law.

On my way home I stopped off for groceries for the coming week. I also got a copy of Empire magazine, the main feature was about Suicide Squad, the story behind the movie Aliens and a list of the Best Movie Villains.

Turning Point

It was another quiet evening last night. I watched an episode of the fourth season ofGame of Thrones. I'm way behind on that show, because I don't have the network that broadcasts it and so I collect it when it come out on Blu-ray. I read a bit more of End of Watch and played some Uncharted 4 on my PlayStation 4.

It was a really busy day at work, and kind of sucked. There were a couple of meetings, one that took over an hour, about all kinds of changes that they are bringing out, that in addition to the regular work. I didn't have a time for a break today at all. I was listening to a lot of Mary Chapin Carpenter to cheer myself up. I also listened to The Comicsbound Podcast which is a pretty new podcast about all aspects of comics. It's fun, and pretty interesting. 

Back home I saw that the book Turning Point: 1997-2008 by Hayao Miyazaki arrived in the mail. I listened to Bizarre States, which this week was about Pokemon Go, a giant telescope being built in China, and the story of the song Gloomy Sunday, the so-called "Hungarian Suicide Song". I am currently listening to this week's episode of Ron's Amazing Stories, which is a podcast that bills itself as "Stories to Take You Away From Today", which presents vintage stories and radio plays often on a weekly theme. This week's theme is the Bermuda Triangle.
