Kit Fisto Rules

I expect to be out of town today. And I had an idea for a bit of a dour Saturday Note, with examples from both fiction and real life, but you know what? The world is messy right now. You don’t need that. We need something fun. So we’re going to talk about a character who is both incredibly awesome and very underrated.

For Reasons.


Presently watching Kim’s Convenience while it’s still on Netflix (leaves in June). Behind on book reviews (again).


Anyway, your Moment of Zen.

In Praise of Shinwell Johnson

AGH I’m so behind on everything–letters, annotations, and reviews. It’s freaking me out a bit.

The NC Zoo is waiting on the NC budget to clear so they can finish working on their new Asia section, by the way. They have a new director, though.


Star Wars Day was Monday, so here’s your jam for the week.

Enjoyment of Bad Movies

Since Star Wars Day is Monday, I considered doing a Star Wars Saturday Note, but I don’t know what I’d say? I guess I’m a bit Star Wars’d out on interesting essay topics.

I am a bit behind on letters, which is frustrating, though hopefully I can get that done in the next week. Still need to find a place to put annotations, though.


Presently reading An Unexpected Apprentice by Jody Lynn Nye!
