Read System Collapse (Murderbot diaries #7) by Martha Wells. A sequel to the previous Network Effect, which I only partly remembered. The originaly of this volume is the unreliability of the half-organic android (on which I cannot expand because of spoilers!), even though the limited scope of the story is rather disappointing.
Made bagels at home with half rye, half wheat. Definitely tolerable (esp. when compared with my earlier experiment) and dense enough but open to improvements (I plan to try with no egg finish!, cooler raising temperature, and a different type of yeast).
Watched Korean Officer Black Belt (무도실무관)), thinking it was a series. Single movie it was, and definitely more than long enough as it aligns stereotypes and predictable battle scenes, with no active female character (but plenty of female victims)… And Japanese Golden Kamuy (ゴールデンカムイ) thinking it was a movie. Which it was except it ends unfinished (and is continued as a live-action television series). Inspired from a popular manga and taking place after the Russo-Japanese war of 1904. The manga inspiration is very clear, but the window on Ainu culture is worth noting, if somewhat shallow. (With the miso joke overstaying its limited comic potential.)
