adric | End of 23 health sum up, MCU

Health and fitness

With some variance and some set backs factored in, it's been a good health year for me and I've done well with my programme of establishing and keeping healthier habits. I've apparently even netted some compliments (!?). I've started (back) with a food tracking app after one other experiment reminded me how far off my ideas about my macronutrients were from what I actually consume, having a think about tracking overall, and re-checking some of my measurement this week. And I got through family holiday visits without too much overeating or junk food, possibly. All with daily stretches, if not much exercise. And you? What are you working on to feel better?

MCU starts here

Reacher Season 2 is ridiculous and enjoyable ... and Gen V (a Boyz spin-off) was better than we expected (I'm crediting Kripke's influence over the writing and design) (both on Amazon Video, though Reacher S1 can be purchased on DVD)
Rebel Moon was long and terrible, and seemed very expensive to make. We did have fun with our commentary at least.
movies Poor Things and Saltmist are both very weird and interesting. If you've any interest I recommend seeing them before reading anything about either. Of the two, Poor Things is much better and more interesting.
new Dr Who for 2023 has been quite fun so far and touching in spots (Doctor-Donna) (I'll watch the 4th special shortly)
not entirely unrelated, Sex Education is one of the best shows ever on telly, not just the best one about sex or teenagers (and possibly other topics)
less related but interesting and funny: Sexify, a Polish show about college students, sex, and ... an app ?
I briefly sampled the new Scott Pilgrim show and am very excited. I finally read the graphic novels this year and that made me love the movie even more, strangely enough.
I've read two of the four "Year of Sanderson" novels and am delighted with them both. Definitely one of my better dumb Kickstarter pledges. Tress of the Emerald Sea may well be a classic and Frugal Wizard... was a really fun read. Both have great audio versions.
- The illustrated hardbacks are beautiful and they still have some in stock.

For a number of reasons this year I'd been reducing my Patreon spend and signing up to creators elsewhere. Then, Patreon pulled a new, predictable dumb stunt which has accelerated that process. If anyone reading this was impacted, please ping and I'll try to help.
