Blogocentric Formulations

by Jeff

Rated: 18+ · Book · Biographical · #1399999

My primary Writing.com blog.

Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).

Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:

"The Soundtrackers Group"

"Invalid Item"

"Blogging Circle of Friends "

"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"

"JAFBG"

"Take up Your Cross"

Thanks for stopping by!

Really enjoyed Atlas. While the plot was so-so, JL was surprisingly good and Smith was such a fun character.

In response to "Book Recommendations"

I'm currently reading a book called Chosen by Benedict Jacka. I really wanted to read the first in the series but it wasn't available.

I believe Taken is the first book.

I have a second hardbound book Science Fiction/ Fantasy book called Revisionary Book 4 By Jim C .Hines. They also didnt have the first three in the series. I have a feel
ingg I might not understand it without first reading 1-3.
I think this one might be harder to read. I'll try though. Maybe I'll check at the used book store. They might have some. There's only 4 books in the series.

I need to write your list down. So many sound interesting. I like the alternate reality and parallel universes.

I like all of the books you listed.

I plan on viewing your other posts about movies etc.

These books sound interesting.

I have read #1 The I invisible Life if Addie LaRue. I enjoyed it. I won't spoil it for you. The demon is pretty tricky, and yet likeable in some ways.

Have you read any of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher? The main character is a detective, wizard, and one ifvthe good guys.

Theres humor in his work Jim Butchers work. I love it..

I read that whole series. I think there were 17 books.

They did a few episodes on TV, but ruined it because the scenes were out if order and so some things didnt make sense. Then they stopped auring it.

Gran Tunsmo was good, I saw only because I played the games and wanted to see what they could do.

In response to "Take a Hike"

I enjoy hiking, but I would need to get in better shape to do any rough terrain hiking. Now, it's cold outside, there's snow, and it's just not a good time to go out and start hiking, so, as I mentioned before, I'll stick to hiking inside. I'm going to hike to the kitchen and get some Doritos.

In response to "Habits not Resolutions"

There was a sign in a gym I used to go to, "Willpower gets you started, habit keeps you going."

I used to go, but it was like this, "I'd have to drive thirty minutes to get to the gym, I guess I'll just exercise at home by walking to the cupboard and opening a bag of Doritos."

299... awesome. You're a closet anarchist!

I do exercise daily and keep track of it here; but I don't keep track of daily words written. Some days I go way over 300 just by commenting!

May 2024 Watch List

To qualify for my Watch List every month, the following has to be something that I've watched that's new to me. It doesn't necessarily have to be a current show, but it can't be reruns or rewatches of something I've already seen. So if I'm including it in this list, it means this month is the first time I've watched it. I'll put "DNF" (Did Not Finish) next to anything that I stopped watching and have no immediate plans to finish.

Movies

Anyone But You
Atlas
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Lift
Rebel Moon - Part 1: A Child of Fire
Rebel Moon - Part 2: The Scargiver
War for the Planet of the Apes

Television

FBI: Most Wanted (Season 1)
FBI: Most Wanted (Season 2)
FBI: Most Wanted (Season 3)
Knuckles
Law & Order (Season 23)
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (Season 25)
Punisher (Season 2)
Tales of the Empire

It was a very productive viewing month, thanks in no small part to the fact that my wife has been binge watching procedurals for the past several weeks. Procedurals aren't my particular cup of tea; they're mostly background noise while I work on other stuff. Knuckles is a spinoff of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and my kids really seemed to enjoy it. Tales of Empire (a Star Wars anthology series) was pretty good, but like Tales of the Jedi from a few years ago, it's a little too disjointed and random for it to be truly great.

Speaking of Star Wars, on the feature film side I watched both installments of Rebel Moon a.k.a. Zack Snyder's Star Wars Movie. Both installments were pretty bad. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Snyder is basically Michael Bay; he knows how to create some stunning visuals, but really isn't very good at telling a story or developing character. And on the topic of bad sci-fi movies, I can also enthusiastically not recommend Atlas which was basically Jennifer Lopez acting alone in a room talking to an A.I. for more than half of the movie. I also watched both the new Planet of the Apes movie and the previous film that I somehow didn't even know came out years ago, and I just don't get the hype about this franchise. People love it, but all four of the recent films have been pretty mediocre. Lift was a cheesy heist movie, and Anyone But You was an entertaining, if predictable romantic comedy.

All in all, even though I watched a lot in May, I didn't love a lot of what I saw. The best was probably the second season of Punisher, but even that wasn't great. It was a pretty lackluster month, to be honest.

TOP PICK: Punisher (Season 2)
