Five down, seven to go. Making progress. Watched way more movies than I thought I did. Was going into this update feeling that I've only watched TV-series (Twin Peaks, Handmaiden'sTale, etc). Having watched not one, not two but three alien arriving at Earth movies I have to say that Arrival is such a refreshing scifi experience. Who'd'a'thunk that language could work as the main component in a scifi movie?

I called in sick yesterday but was still near work...I went to watch Wonder Woman by myself at the theatre instead. It was pretty enjoyable, I'd definitely see it again.

I just finished the 13th book of the year, which means that in less than half of 2017 I've read the same number of books as in all of 2016.
Fuck 2016.
I can only go up from here. ;P
