omensOkay, it's been... a long time.. since I've done a media update. Oops! Haven't had much to talk about but I guess it's all added up enough to be enough by now.
Some books:
The Lower Decks book, Warp Your Own Way by Ryan North (comics novel) - read this twice, need to read a few more times :D (It's a choose your adventure book)
Doppelganger by Naomi Klein (non-fiction) - didn't get through this before the library yoinked it back (I had it largely thru my couple discord listening challenge weeks, whoops), put myself back on the list. Pretty interesting, kinda awful.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea, TJ Klune (fiction, sequel) - reading this in bits. As much as these are "cozy fantasy," only the relationships are. The plot and background ambiance is upsetting, in general, lol.
Couple Kdramas:
Doctor Cha - do not waste your time on this one! We made it through but it fought us almost the entire time. LOL I appreciatepikron so much in these times XD oooof tease an imminent divorce in the first couple eps, spend the entire series making the husband irredeemable and then only have the divorce in the LAST EPISODE?? Ughhh we were suffering. Props to minor character Jeon Sora for being a tiny bright light. And the actor Kim Mi-kyung (who played the main character's mother), who is ALWAYS excellent.
Business Proposal - CHARMING. Do recommend! Very silly! We are only four or five episodes in, so this might change, but we are enjoying it a lot. It does a lot of stupid special effects stuff & musical things that should be obnoxious but are somehow only charming. These dorks are mfeo. It's so enjoyable we have much less to talk about than in Doctor Cha, though LOL.
Some games:
Sims4 (computer) I spent a week and a half or so playing this. It got too much time out of me. I think it actually isn't very fun? But it is incredibly absorbing. I will probably get sucked in again at some point.
Meow Tower (mobile) - they added more puzzles and a new music box thing.
Word Trails (mobile, thru Netflix) - still doing this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3ds) - I restarted on a whim and am enjoying it. I like how the villagers are more unpredictable but I do not like when they shame me for playing too long :P
Writing & other creative things:
I have been writing, here and there! and a couple new ideas, which is fun. And crocheting! I've been working on a blanket for Kelly and speeding along with these granny squares until I got to the biggest colour chunk and now I'm like ehhhhhhhhhhhhh. Gotta do it!
That's it for me, aside from language learning stuff!
