Another day and yes, time to make another post. Again, to those few reading this, it's like where are the other posts man?? time loop, ok? same day, just a different post ok?
Today I want to do something a little different. A book review...yep, you read that right. I'm gonna tell you about this great book I've been reading and my thoughts about it and why I think you should read it too...the book is To Sleep In A Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini you know that guy... well, he was just a kid at the time, 17 years old...but the guy that wrote Eragon...oh and that's another really great book and not such a good movie of it at all..kinda bad actually I've still watched it a couple times, but it should have been so much better.
...anyways on to To Sleep In A Sea of Stars... wow, it's such a huge book for one thing. I'm reading digital so its over 1400 pages...over 800 in regular hardcover book form. But since I've got all this time it's not an issue at all...in fact, the bigger the better as long as it's good I've learned not to make my self finish a book that I'm not liking. The last time I did that was with Lord of the Flies...and oh wow, I really learned my lesson to not make myself finish a book. In my opinion lord of the flies is just an incredibly awful and traumatic and really disturbing book...no, I read it years ago, back when I was a teenager. I'm 35 by the way, not counting loop years...I mean, I stopped counting at 35 when I entered the loop...ok I'm losing focus here...let's get back on track.....Sea of Stars...such a great book...it's science fiction...which I love. It's space opera...again, love and it's attacking aliens... again love, love lol... truly it's a fun and exciting read and I'm not even finished yet...still have about 150 pages to go to see how this books ends. There are more after it and I'm not sure if I've mentioned this already at some point, but in the loop, all series...books, tv shows, comics, movies...all of them... are completely finished here. I've got more fractalverse books to read after I finish this, the first one, so way cool right? Ok the world building that's in this book...wow...I want to live in this world exploring planets and seeing so many cool and amazing things... I'd live there, that is, if I wasn't in my time loop and if in that world there was not this huge and scary alien war going on. Kira is the name of the lead and main character, she is a xenobiologist and after a kinda freak accident she finds a buried alien ...something...and it's just gets crazier and better from that point on...I don't want to give away too much, but you need to read this book and any of the others you can get your hands on...it's such a fantastic read!
Have you ever lost your love for a book or a show just because of how it's become associated with someone that's not in your life anymore? A person that you shared that show or movie or tv show with and now that they're gone, watching it or reading it reminds you so much of them and how much you miss them that you no longer enjoy reading it or watching it anymore at all and you try to get past it, but its still there ya know?
Well, I had that with the great tv show Friends, it took quite a while to get to liking and watching it again without that awful reminder...it just took time and then some more time and then after that there was Claire and then with being with her and loving her so much, I didn't think about what I'd lost before. But what I thought about was how much I had now and what I'd gained and after a while that loss didn't even register any more...I didn't even think about it...I just laughed and enjoyed the really great ensemble show Friends.
Do you play chess? Well, I've been playing for as long as I can remember. I love playing chess! I've had so many chess boards over the years and this really cool computer chess board and pieces set where I would play against the computer, with being in this time loop I've finally been able to get into playing chess again. I'd given it up...had not played in such a long time and so Claire and I started playing... she had never played chess before, so I got to teach her the basics and she picked it up so fast. She learned strategy and looking moves ahead and really enjoyed it. We even watched that really awesome Netflix show Queens Gambit and loved the show even more since we shared this love of chess together. Now it's so amazing to me still even after all this time that we still have new stuff to try and experience together...it really is the best thing ever! I'm so glad that it will never end, that we get to do this again and again for ever...can you even get your mind around that? I'm living it here in the loop and I really can't grasp it all that well myself.
How that from now on there is no end to our lives...no end to the books that we can read, no end to all the tv shows and movies and just watching and re watching and re reading all of our favorites and being together and taking walks and long talks about everything... we even do this thing were one of us will just kinda sigh happily and look around and mention what a beautiful warm, sunny day it is even though it's been this beautiful warm sunny day forever now and it's not gonna change so yeah we even talk about the weather. And even with just having this one day, there are so many things close by to go see and experience... even the 6 hours' drive to the beach is worth it to walk in the sand and see the waves...hear the surf crash on to the beach and rent a beach house and grill out and then wake up the next day and be back in our beds at home again and do the same drive and a different part of the beach there and a different rented hotel room this time and so many ways to do it and different combinations and it's just never gonna end...kinda like this sentence right?
