Finally got around to watching Project Hail Mary recently, and Grace's reaction to water in the astrophages is really relatable.

You manage to finally get data for an experiment which finally works, is definately correct and might even advance the field of science in some small way.

The only problem is that the results are completely not what you actually need for your hypothesis.

Slay the Princess: Eternity

"You're on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it'll be the end of the world."

Montage of a black tern. Pencil on paper.

I was in Kinderdyjk in the Netherlands a few weeks ago to look at the famous windmills. While there, I noticed a particular bird species which flew in an extremely interestly manner.

It darted along the shore from position to position, hovering for a few seconds, then suddenly diving and flying again in the blink of an eye.

A quick internet search later informed me that the bird was a black tern.

I drew this montage based on pictures which I managed to take, including a very lucky timelapse.

Spoiler-free thoughts on The Mandalorian and Grogu.

It was a very fun movie, with a lot of action, but what I really appreciated was how standalone it was.

There was no need to have encyclopedic knowledge of the Star Wars setting or the Mandalorian show to understand the plot. No giant plot hooks, and everything is neatly wrapped up by the end. References and cameos are bonuses, but not neccessary to follow the film.

Mandalorian and Grogu is simply a fun space adventure about a bounty hunter and his adopted son.

SPOILERS FOR MAUL SHADOW LORD FINALE

Lawson is definately going to be captured alive. Saw what Maul did, has imperial ex-wife, disappearing into the mist? I'm betting S2 is spent catching up with the ex.

I'm not even sure if Daki bit the dust. This is Star Wars, where people have survived worse. The main character of Maul got cut in half, remember, and that doesn't seem to have slowed him down at all.

I've been seeing this particular species of fern during recent walks, and thought it would be an interesting subject for practice.

Charcoal drawing depicting the Anchorage from Adrian Tchaikovsky's novel "City of Last Chances".

Quote from the book: "Before there was a city, there was a grove in a great forest. Before there was an inn there was a lone warden, an anchorite, in a hut betwewen the trees. And the tide of human history washed away the forest and threw up the buildings, but the grove it could not touch. And always and forever, there was someone whose place it was to live at the boundary between Wood and world."
