BOLDNESS IS ALL!

The new Murderbot TV series is so so great!



I have listened to the Kevin R. Free narrated Murderbot books all the way through many times and could probably dominate any Murderbot trivia contest. But I wasn't expecting the TV series to stick to the books, and was pleasantly surprised how much it did stick to the books. And the changes that were made were surprisingly good.

They made the Preservation Aux team into "space hippies" and it really works.

And it's hysterically funny.

They just released the first two episodes and I've watched them four times so far. 

And "The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon," which is Murderbot's favorite soap opera is shown and is amazing. One of the characters says "Boldness is all" which I expect to become the catchphrase of SecUnit Summer.

Cinco de Mayo is 20 years old.

I mean my song, created via GarageBand, not the holiday, which has been around since 1862 and celebrated in the United States since the 1980s. 

I first got GarageBand a year after it was released, and started throwing some loops together to get this tune going - but the melody line is mine.
