I watched 3 Body Problem this weekend on Netflix

I was dog sitting for over a week, which meant cold A/C, soft mattress and canine companionship for hours on end

Two cuddle monsters who curled up on the loveseat cushion next to me

In the seat that was mine for ten years

One against my leg, the other on the other side, but one front paw or back stretched out enough to touch mine

I watched the show when it first came out and liked it

But… it was hard to follow along in some parts

For me at least

Probably because I was doing something else while it was on

The first time

This time though, my back was giving me problems

For what reason I don’t know why

I know it’s an old injury from thirty years ago, riding in the back of a truck that flipped and tossed me a couple hundred yards

To land rolling and flipping and spinning

I was wearing a pack at the time, so my back didn’t get scraped

But my arms and elbows and face slowed me down in the tumble

And much like the old expression goes from plane crashes

Any wreck you can walk away from is a good one

I would almost add any you can crawl and stumble to your feet and spin around to check your six

And check your buddies who decided to take flying lessons with you

And only after the adreniline wears off do you feel that twinge

That little knifepoint that lets you know one of your super strong discs likes to slip over every so often and jab a nerve

Now, it happens less often, but all it takes is a sneeze or smile or standing on concrete for a couple of hours

Or sleeping wrong, sitting wrong or trying to do Romanian Dead Lifts with a heavier than usual weight

Which reminds me, I need to start doing yoga again

But it’s hard to do yoga or go running or lift much while I wait for it to slide back into place

So a good way to wait is watch a movie, or show, which I love to do anyway

So win win

And when I saw 3 Body Problem pop up on my recommendations, despite having watched it a couple of years ago

I clicked play

Because…

I read the book this summer.

Which I recommend.

Highly.

It is a little difficult at times to follow along.

That’s more me than the book, I think.

There were a lot of Chinese names, so keeping characters straight in my mind was a struggle

But it was a book I really enjoyed

AND

It made the show even better

Even though they made a signifigant departure from the novel

Because when I saw a scene that before, felt out of place or made me wonder why a time jump was happening

Now I could understand better

And even though they introduced new characters and new storylines and moved everything from China to the UK

It was still good

Good book

Good show

And great company

A life filled hunting for perfect moments and learning to love them as they happen

Here’s hoping you hae more of those too
