Sometimes, I wish I could record the thoughts that fly through my head as I'm at work/leaving/driving the car home. I get worked up and annoyed, out of sorts and sometimes plain vindictive. But it's usually all at least, well, interesting.

All I have left now is the initial sentence (thought up while putting my jeans on over my work pants) that detailed the straw breaking the camel's back after one too many woman died in the audios I was listening to at work.

This is NOT an indictment against the Big Finish audios. It's not their fault I'd hit some mental limit (though I have to admit that three of the four have Significant Women dying in a way that provides a male protagonist with inspiration to overcome being evil/amoral and Make His Life Right, and the fourth threatened rape/cloning and continual murder for centuries against a female protagonist [and the male, to be fair])

Ahem. Which is why I muttered the subject line to myself, because what the hell else can one say when confronted with Yet Another Beautiful Death of a Woman to Motivate a Man?

Unfortunately, all the rest of the lovely, ranty words (that had little to do with BF) have dissipated, and all that's left is the constable-priest and his annoying questions.

(in the meantime, there is THE MOST HILARIOUS LINE about Athena dying in Immortal Beloved that possibly made me laugh way too hard and bang my hand against the desk and then go "ow" a lot)

One of the aspects of Defying Gravity that I really enjoyed was the astronaut training. That sort of thing always sorts of pings with me and makes me giddy (I wanted to be an astronaut, once upon a time), and it reminded me that I'd managed to haul home the six-book teen series from my parents'.

(I'm mostly posting this for my own amusement, as I don't think these books are in print or available anywhere)

Set in the not-too-distant future (as seen from 1990), it details the adventures of a bunch of kids who compete to see who's going to go to Mars and start a colony, and then some of their adventures in space and on Mars.
