Got the first batch of books we had GPO do new binding from back from their bindery. It turned out to be less dramatic than picking them up had been, even though the truck driver still didn't follow our instructions, because now we knew to look for him in the visitor's kiosk right outside the Conference Center, plus the guards seemed to remember him and realize the boxes he had with him had books in them, and at any rate didn't mind letting him bring them in. The books themselves were elegantly done. Now they're holding our old and rare War Department reports, and I'm anxiously waiting to receive word that those can even be restored when some of them are not far off two centuries old.
Kind of weird watching the reviews for The Punisher come in, especially since now my sister is among those they send advance screeners too, her review was up on our blog Monday, and she was scathing. Of course I pretty much have to sit through it, no matter how unpleasant. I hope there's plenty of Karen. Also, I kind of dig how much Frank is shown to care about her in the preview clips, at least since it doesn't sound like they're turning things outright romantic. That's how I like those two best. Then I'll probably give in and buy Hulu to watch Runaways. Three streaming subscriptions, and if Disney has one big one for all their things, I'll almost certainly end up getting that one too sooner or later. When am I going to find the time to watch them all??? Also, will the fight over their joint series with Netflix lead to everything getting canceled? Hopefully we'll get the third season of Daredevil first, with the second seasons of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones safely out before that. I can do without the second season of Iron Fist.
