Now

What am I currently following? Mostly Batman and Mandalorian/Book of Boba Fett. Always Star Trek.

What am I reading? "Bullet Train” by Kotaro Isaka

Where else can I be found? (On tumblr:) J.J. Thomas for Star Trek content, Farawayfiction for writing and Miss Fisher content. Sadly, I won't be updating those anymore. Justwrite100words for my daily writing exercises. (On wordpress:) Farawayfiction for just about everything I've written over the last ten to fifteen years and minor photography highlights. (On AO3) Farawayfiction for the things I'm brave enough to share with a larger audience.

The icon was made for me by Laura back in our rp days.

Introduced my 17yo to “Demolition Man” tonight. It’s been a few years since I last saw it. Scary that every time I DO see it, it seems like we’re moving towards that futuristic society. I’ve never identified with Denis Leary more than I do right now.

Brutalist maze, Seattle

[3liza]

its called Freeway Park and while it is one of the most interesting single examples of Brutalism in the united states and im proud of it, it is so poorly designed in terms of public safety that it has been renovated twice(?) but continues to be geographically troubling, as its design has facilitated a lot of murders over the years. it was the subject of a funny but gruesome article in the STranger in 2002 called Topography of Terror. the city doesnt keep official tally of how many murders or assaults have happened IN the park but two men in their 30s were stabbed nonfatally during a robbery there earlier this year, for example.

Suspect that building mazes is perhaps not conducive to public safety, outside of minotaur isolation scenarios.

Combat, Catastrophes, and Potential Ramifications - Part 3

Season 1, Episode 3 - The Sin

Din handled himself expertly. What can I say? There were a couple instances when foes landed blaster shots to his armor. That was about it. Paz could have possibly cut him with his knife. Maybe he pulled a muscle when he rolled over the top of the cart? *shrugs*

STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE - S7E23 Extreme Measures

[yellowseptember]

"Bullet Train” by Kotaro Isaka is shenanigan central. The book picks up speed rotating through three sets of pairs. Mr. Kimura wants the young punk “The Prince” to suffer for masterminding grievous injuries to his son. Tangerine and Lemon are tasked with saving the son of a mob boss and retrieving the ransom money. Nanao and his handler Maria are also double booked to retrieve the ransom money by the same employer. Of course, nothing goes smoothly. The case of money is stolen and stolen again. The kidnapped son is murdered. The train will soon reach its destination. The characters on board see to their own objectives, stumbling, fighting, and evading each other as they go. Hysterical dialogue at points. Tangerine and Lemon remind me of Jackson and Travolta’s characters from “Pulp Fiction”. Fun read! Half way through.
