Last night I tortured the puppy to keep him awake for an hour or so in the hopes that when I went to bed he would sleep for a good six or seven hours. AND IT WORKED! I felt a smidge bad, but also, I desperately long for the days when I'll be able to sleep for nine hours straight again.
In the past couple of days I started and finished the new She-Ra and I LOVED IT. I liked it better than the Dragon Prince, though I still wouldn't say no to a second season of that either, and Scorpia is my favorite. She's so good, I mean her parents gave her away, and sure she's a 'bad guy', but omg she is the sweetest clawed badass ever and I just want her to be happy. I am now looking for icons if anyone's found any.
I almost turned the first episode off, but let it go in the background while I tried to meet my word count goal for the day, and it definitely got better. Glimmer was a problem for me, but then she turned and I liked her. I love the animation, the theme song is catchy, and the episodes go by fast with an excellent mix of teenage angst, superhero angst, and sparkle fists to face action. Adora and Catra carry the emotional weight of the story well, Glimmer and her mom super work for me, the princess club could be interesting, and I was very entertained by Sea Hawk.

Bandersnatch on the other hand didn't particularly do it for me. I mean the interactive choice and redo feature is neat, but the character and storyline didn't get there for me. I love thought experiments about free will, but that was kinda incidental to the weirdness involved. I'm not a fan of Black Mirror though, so I doubt I was the target audience anyway.
I watched Annihilation again and still didn't get it, but I started the book, and I love it. I just assumed Natalie Portman was being odd and boring again, but reading the book from her character's pov, I really like the biologist. I haven't finished it yet, but almost. I can see how it's either a love it or hate it book.
