Current Mood: giddy

Finished up the second Space Odyssey book. A whole lot of stuff going on in there!

Current Mood: good

One of the more fun and entertaining things that I've found about reading the Space Odyssey quartet is that a few of the hypotheses I've had since watching the movies are apparently spot-on! Now, since I'm not done-done with the books, I'm not sure if my interpretations are in the same context as canon, but it's really neat to know that my (pretentious spirit fingers) "critical reading skills" (/pretentious spirit fingers) are up-to-date!

Spoilers ahead for a property that premiered in the 60s and 80s!

So yeah! It's been interesting connecting the hints and suggestions that the author's been putting out there.

Current Mood: amused

Something I'm noticing about the Space Odyssey books is that the chapter sizes sharply remind me of both a) the way a movie script divides scenes and b) the way Good Omens is separated into days.

It makes sense, since the first movie and book were written concurrently in the mid- to late 60s, and Pratchett began publishing in the early 70s, so (shrug emoji).

All done with the first Space Odyssey novel. Wheee book hangover~.

Current Mood: accomplished

Well

I started writing the 2001: A Space Odyssey fanfic.

I am... very out of practice with technobabble. Ouch.

Current Mood: dorky

"Watch 2001: A Space Odyssey with me," my husband said

"Oh, okay," I said. "Surely this won't become a new interest for me," I told myself, "where I have hypotheses about it, and end up getting the cheesy 80s sequel movie, all the books, and outline an accursed fanfic for the series over the course of two freakin' months before even finishing the books. Ohhh no, that'll never happen." (/Sarcasm)

~~The husband thinks this is hilarious, btw~~
