June 2020 Reading

June 2020 Reading:

Lot more video and podcasts and all sorts of media.  Bit crazy to be honest, but part of it is that I've been focusing on exercise since work from home started due to coronavirus and I find it a bit more difficult to slot in reading around my brain being tired.  I'm starting to track a little better, and there's no question I'm getting a lot of media in if you look at all the video and podcast content below.  I think I even missed some career-related reading I didn't bother to track.  Lot of doubles for days as well, so I'm stuffing in a lot.  Wish more of it was board game related.  Maybe that's a July goal.

• I'm listing this here because I've been hit or miss with podcasts, but I've been regularly listening to this one, even though it's pretty long.  It's my walking listening.  You can see, based on the length, why I'm a bit slower than their schedule...it's almost like a morning radio show replacement.  I shared a story from the Krista Miller one about "planned improv" with my kid because they used to watch Scrubs (a lot).

• 6/3/2020: Deadpool, the Complete Collection by Daniel Way No 3
• I finally found volume 2 tucked away between some D&D books in the games area in the kitchen.  I really thought my mother in law had borrowed it before her move as she had been asking about which one to read based on my kid reading them.  I still don't have number 4.  I suspect I'll probably never get it.  They're enjoyable, but....bits and pieces are juvenile (go figure) in a way that's actually not in the movies with Ryan Reynolds.  There are juvenile bits in the movies, but the comic doesn't try to approach it in a positive humor sense where it could.  Not that I'm surprised.  I do like the got-rich-become-a-pirate story line in number 2.  Amusing.
