[a small edit]
Eliza Madrigal: They've been as okay as can be... taking all precautions, but of course I'm nervous at times

Bleu Oleander: reading anything interesting?
Eliza Madrigal: I'm finally reading the Dune books :)
Eliza Madrigal: that's the main one
Bleu Oleander: not sure I know those
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, they're pretty classic sci-fi, and there will be a film soon
Eliza Madrigal: so I want to read them before that
Bleu Oleander: hi Qt
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Qt!
Qt Core: Hi Eliza, Bleu
Bleu Oleander: ah ok
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Tura :)
Bleu Oleander: hi Tura
Qt Core: Hi Tura
Eliza Madrigal: Did you read Dune, Qt and Tura?
Tura Brezoianu: hi all
Qt Core: Yes, a couple time and the sequels too
Tura Brezoianu: Yes, I read all the Dune novels that Frank Herbert wrote, none of the later ones
Eliza Madrigal: I'm finally reading now, really enjoying it so much
Bleu Oleander: passed me by somehow :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu Oleander: best one to read?
Tura Brezoianu: I was about fifteen when I read the first one. When I read it again many years later I was struck by how small it seemed :)
Bleu Oleander: hi Ara
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Ara :)
arabella Ella: Hiya!
Eliza Madrigal: Lynch did a film version which was not great... and that was my first impression

Agatha Macbeth: Evening all
Bleu Oleander: Aggers!!
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Agatha!!!
Agatha Macbeth: Well I never - a singing gecko!
Tura Brezoianu: I would say Dune and Dune Messiah, i.e. the first two
Eliza Madrigal grins
Qt Core: the first one Bleu, it's useless to reading them out of sequence
arabella Ella: Aggers!!!
Bleu Oleander: thanks Qt
Qt Core: Hi Ara, Agatha
Eliza Madrigal: we were just talking a little about Dune
Bleu Oleander: ty Tura
Agatha Macbeth: As in Sting?
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Qt Core: as in the book before the movie
Eliza Madrigal: He's why I saw that film when younger, too
Tura Brezoianu: Jodorowsky tried to make Dune, with H R Giger doing artwork for it, but it never happened.
Agatha Macbeth: Why aye man
Eliza Madrigal: There's supposedly a documentary about that attempt?
Tura Brezoianu: Yes, I haven't seen it though
Agatha Macbeth: Wollie ♥
Wol Euler: evening all!
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Wol :)
Bleu Oleander: hey Wol
Qt Core: Hi Wol

Eliza Madrigal: A little crowd today :)) Very nice
Eliza Madrigal: What shall we talk about?
arabella Ella: Hiya Wol!
arabella Ella: Hiya Mick!
Agatha Macbeth: I thought we were talking about Dune
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Ello Mick
arabella Ella: who is Dune?
Agatha Macbeth: Where's yer bike?
Mickorod Renard: hiya
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Mick :)
Bleu Oleander: hi Mick
Mickorod Renard: wow, Ags
Agatha Macbeth polishes Mick's head
Tura Brezoianu: And there's supposed to be a new film version coming out
Mickorod Renard: he he , Hi all
Agatha Macbeth: Yes I finally remembered
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Eliza Madrigal: That's what prompted me to read them finally
Eliza Madrigal: I want to have my own pace before someone's interpretation
Eliza Madrigal: It seems very hard to be able to show the internal dialog in this case
Bleu Oleander: seems quite a few novels
Agatha Macbeth: Who's making it?
Bleu Oleander: which one is coming out as movie?
Qt Core: with all the sequels there is material for a few movie, let sy a dozen ?
Eliza Madrigal: The director who did Arrival, I believe

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: (Who was that?)
arabella Ella: could someone give some background on 'dune' please?
Tura Brezoianu: You could make an indefinitely running series out of them.
Qt Core: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(novel)
Wol Euler: a famous and long sci-fi novel about a desert planet and a battle for control of a universal empire
Agatha Macbeth: Bit Firefly-ish
Eliza Madrigal: A lot about resources
Agatha Macbeth: They made games about it too
Qt Core: and a drug that make you see the future and find your route through space
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Agatha Macbeth: Now *that* is useful
Eliza Madrigal: :)
arabella Ella: this is what our oneline friend says: A new film adaptation directed by Denis Villeneuve is scheduled to be released on December 18, 2020.
Qt Core: the drug exist only in the desert planets, obviously ;-)
Mickorod Renard: :)
Qt Core: planet, singular

Agatha Macbeth: Riddle :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: Hi All
Bleu Oleander: hiya Riddle
Wol Euler: hello riddle
arabella Ella: Hiya Riddle!
Eliza Madrigal: Goodness, I don't think I'll read so many sequels... will maybe do what you've done Tura, reading the Herberts
Mickorod Renard: hi Riddle
Qt Core: i bought some of the non Herbert sequels, read one didn't like it the others are still waiting
Agatha Macbeth: Sequels, prequels - can't beat it
Wol Euler: I read the original and looked at the sequels and said "mmmmmmmaybe I won't bother"
Riddle Sideways: yep, did the same
Eliza Madrigal: It seems timely now
Tura Brezoianu: Six novels by Frank Herbert, and sequels and prequels by Brian Herbert (his son) and Kevin Anderson, and a whole lot of spinoff material.
Riddle Sideways: spinoff sounds scary
Agatha Macbeth: A merchandising dream no less
Qt Core: luckily i may say many non Herbert sequels, prequels and spinoff aren't translated in italian ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Aw
Agatha Macbeth: You could always use google translate...oh maybe not
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Tura Brezoianu: Frank Herbert had notes for a seventh, maybe final novel, but died without writing it. I don't think his notes have ever been published.
Eliza Madrigal: I enjoy the way he writes a lot so far... am easily caught up in the world
Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: they should really impress me for reading that in english, as of now i only did that for the seventh harry potter book (not to wait almost an year for the italian version)
Agatha Macbeth: Death gets in the way of a lot of things
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Wol Euler: I have great memories of the original, which I read when I was twenty-ish

Eliza Madrigal: We've missed you Agatha!
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: I've missed me too
Wol Euler smiles.
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: glad you found your way back
arabella Ella: yes we really missed you and asked after you too!
Eliza Madrigal: ^.^
Agatha Macbeth: As Groucho said 'whatever happened to me'
arabella Ella smiles
Mickorod Renard: :)
Wol Euler: the short answer is probably "time", as for most of us
Eliza Madrigal: time and chance
Wol Euler: boss's son is now so old = so big that boss can comfortably wear his jacket
Agatha Macbeth: Time and PaB are old friends
Wol Euler: (ignore that, it seems I have inadvertently disabled filtering today)
Mickorod Renard: things not quite the same at the moment though
Eliza Madrigal: Goodness, I feel like I can picture that, and of course I've never seen boss and son... sharing stories over the years
Qt Core: people friend with time don't get old, only wise ;-)
Riddle Sideways: still waiting for the Wise part
Agatha Macbeth hoots
Eliza Madrigal feels super wise lately
Wol Euler: oh nice
Wol Euler: what's it like? :)
Eliza Madrigal laughs... (in that context)
Eliza Madrigal: if old is wise ;-)
Bleu Oleander: haha
Agatha Macbeth: Oh belated happy birthday

Mickorod Renard: all of us

Eliza Madrigal: (and thanks ^.^)
Agatha Macbeth: Birthdays and unbirthdays
Agatha Macbeth: And the dormouse

Eliza Madrigal: How is everyone generally feeling?
Riddle Sideways: nice segway
Agatha Macbeth: Generally as opposed to specifically?
Bleu Oleander: ready for covid and election to be over!!
Wol Euler: yeah
Eliza Madrigal: dear lord yes
Wol Euler: and I'm not even american, I don't know how you can bear it
Riddle Sideways: and natural disasters
Eliza Madrigal: we aren't bearing it very well
Agatha Macbeth: Oh is it that time again
Wol Euler: <3
arabella Ella: I feel the whole world is in one big bad mess
Eliza Madrigal: :(
Qt Core: oh yes, funnily enough we have a consitutional referendum in a couple week here and you hear more about usa election than about that...
Wol Euler: huh
Bleu Oleander: there are bright spots but ENOUGH ALREADY!

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: I wish my friends in the US were as interested as you all are
Eliza Madrigal grumbles
Mickorod Renard: I think its a mess just in my head...........nothing else exists I am told
Tura Brezoianu: Life grumbles on...
arabella Ella: Life is a nightmare, whichever way you look
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu Oleander: hard to believe this is 2020
Mickorod Renard: but, all ways look on the bright side of life
Bleu Oleander: we seem to be very slow learners
Eliza Madrigal: This is the time we all dreamed about growing up ... "Where will you be in the year 2020?"
Qt Core: and just wait untill this millennia get old enough to drink...
Riddle Sideways: hmmm, was 20 in the 70's now am 70 in the 20's

Wol Euler: I feel so cheated. How can this be 2020 and we don't have *any* of the glorious sci-fi lives we were promised?
Riddle Sideways: want transporters
Agatha Macbeth: The rockets stopped
Wol Euler: I thought we'd be living in flying houses in low-earth orbit, not trying to convince people that drinking bleach is a bad idea
Bleu Oleander: although jetpacs seem to be improving!
Qt Core: but we miss termionator and the matrix at leas, Wol
Agatha Macbeth: As Ray Bradbury said they would
Mickorod Renard: yeh, I was so geared up to save the melting glaciers and repair the ozone layer etc..but now I just give up

Eliza Madrigal: Eos was here last week and felt that it can be some kind of test...civilization has to level up or start over again (paraphrased)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh how is s/he?
Wol Euler: I fear he may be right
Bleu Oleander: we've been through those bottlenecks before
Agatha Macbeth: Been ages
Riddle Sideways: yes, liked the "Get Your Game on!!!"
Eliza Madrigal: He seems well... finding moments of clarity in nature
Agatha Macbeth: That always works
Agatha Macbeth: Rotting logs and blueberries
Eliza Madrigal: we talked about bright spots, too...
Eliza Madrigal: Are you all settled and unpacked Riddle?
arabella Ella: the thing is some countries (like here) had a reprive of around a month when everyone forgot the pandemic and things went to normal and that is another fear - no sense of saving the planet or the environment!

Bleu Oleander: read a new translation of Beowulf recently ... things haven't changed so much!
Wol Euler: oh, interesting, by whom?
Agatha Macbeth: Is he still killing Grendel?
Eliza Madrigal: true, Ara :( I see that too... way off the radar
Bleu Oleander: Maria Headley ... first by a woman
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, interesting
Riddle Sideways: unpacked yes, artwork back on walls. Now going through what items were willing to be let go of to fire and starting to get rid of them
Bleu Oleander: read her novel "the Mere Wife" too ... based on Beowulf
Wol Euler makes some notes

Wol Euler: lol
Mickorod Renard: he he
Bleu Oleander: ha!
Eliza Madrigal: haha "goodnight and good luck"
Riddle Sideways: What would Groucho have said
Agatha Macbeth: Half Marx
Riddle Sideways: ㋡

Eliza Madrigal: It is a strange thing, how people handle so much uncertainty and turmoil
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe we're just used to it
Bleu Oleander: limits of our brains
Eliza Madrigal nods, Some seem to get very positive, denial level positive
Riddle Sideways: remember, it could always get worse
Wol Euler: and also, it has to be said, for certain values of "handling"
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Qt Core: yes, it may rains ;-)
Bleu Oleander: anyone read "the mind is flat" by Nick C hater?
Wol Euler: anecdotal evidence says that depression rates are *way* up
Agatha Macbeth: Liz and her ruthless positivism
Bleu Oleander: "the remarkable shallowness of the improving brain"
Tura Brezoianu: I've heard of it, but not read it. What is it about?
Eliza Madrigal: I just see the humor, even if fatalistic, and appreciate that
Bleu Oleander: behavioral scientist
Bleu Oleander: really good
Eliza Madrigal listens

Eliza Madrigal: endearing idea, if so, not taking oneself too seriously
Agatha Macbeth: What have the Romans ever done for us?

Agatha Macbeth: Bless him

Tura Brezoianu: Apparently he survived! Tough gig though.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
Mickorod Renard: he he
Wol Euler: everyone's a critic
Agatha Macbeth: Nobody ever built a statue for a critic
Wol Euler: I had a brain fart and read that as "built a STABLE" and couldn'T figure out what you meant

Wol Euler: well, only outdoors obviuosly
Agatha Macbeth: Well it keeps your head warm
Wol Euler: indeed
Wol Euler: and keeps the sun out of my eyes
Agatha Macbeth: Don't have that problem here much
Agatha Macbeth: Oh a beekeeper
Agatha Macbeth: Bzzz
Qt Core: i used to hate caps and hats, then my jair started thinning and i started to feel the cold ;-)
Wol Euler grins.
Qt Core: found a couple light/softer wool/fleece i like, i disliked them because they inpaired hearing too
Agatha Macbeth grins
Wol Euler: gotta have the ears free, yes
Agatha Macbeth: Free ears!
Wol Euler: especially if you are a habitual pedestrian
Agatha Macbeth: Try telling that to the walkman brigade
Qt Core: i cover them, but lighter materials let m e hear (the hearing dislike was from when as a teen i biked more)
Agatha Macbeth: Easy rider
Agatha Macbeth pictures Qt singing Born to be wild
Qt Core: is there in your cultures the idea that men wearing hats, the more classic style the better (or worse in this case) , while driving are bad drivers ?
Qt Core: especially if af a certain age too
Agatha Macbeth: Hats are rare here...baseball caps are in :p
Wol Euler: hmmmmm
Wol Euler: I haven't heard that idea before
Wol Euler: my dears, I'm going to move on
Wol Euler: thanks for the chat, it was lovely to see you both again
Wol Euler: take care, stay healthy
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Qt Core: the elder with the hat, in front of you, going in the same direction, on a narrow street, going very slow and maybe not even sure about where to go, that's the rude italian idea ;-)

Agatha Macbeth: Been here 11 years tomorrow
Wol Euler: oh yay
