THANK YOU NOJJJ i lav ur drawings too EEK!!!

we could have had a real good life but you didn't want it John.....

Tagged by @indrid-hot - thanks a bunch!

Favorite Color: A nice, warm, sunny orange - but also honestly most other colors of the rainbow and then some.

Currently Reading: The Tevinter Nights Dragon Age short story collection.

Last Song: L'appuntamento - Ornella Vanoni

Last Movie: Ah, gosh. HM. I haven't watched anything that's not a TV show in a while. I semi-voluntarily caught the last fifteen minutes of Scrooged over the winter holidays I guess?

Last Series: Last series I watched any part of is, as always, "Emergency!" because I will never not be stuck in 70's paramedic hell. If we're talking new-to-me shows, a friend's making me watch Grey's Anatomy (early seasons) once a week, probably because observing my growing despair about the characters' poor life choices is fun. I don't even normally watch medical shows, and yet here we are lol

Sweet, Savoury, Spicy: Savory if I had to pick

Craving: Some good spaghetti with olive oil and obscene amounts of lightly toasted garlic.

Tea/Coffee: Yes please, lol

Currently working on: OH BOY WHAT A QUESTION.

Spinning: Gotland on my spindles (4-ply, one single per spindle, for funsies - except I accidentally mixed up which bits of fiber go with which single on which spindle, so that'll be fun to sort out...), 7oz/200g of red Merino on the wheel (for a crochet hat, followed by 9.5 oz of red and black Merino for a woven scarf). But also 24.5oz/700g of grey Merino. And cotton on the supported spindle. And I've got some laceweight viscose on the mini turkish spindle that I should really work on...

Crocheting: Half a dozen things, including a lacy collar that needs buttons and blocking, a gigantic star-shaped wrap-around shawl, an incredibly boring granny square top for my little sister, and too many others to count.

Art: The Emergency! tarot as the eternal never-ending WIP; I also have some Dragon Age Veilguard related plans revolving around the Grand Necropolis and irl Catacomb Saints and I'd love to get some DA-style tarot cards done for all my player characters.

Writing: I still have a couple unfinished fanfics that need another chapter, as well as two deeply self-indulgent OC/Emergency! crossovers that friends are making me write, and I also have some Dragon Age stuff in the works - though if anyone will ever see that is another question entirely.

Music: Practicing various stuff for LARP; also slowly chipping away at Hozier's Work Song because my partner asked nicely.

Tagged by @guardevoir - thank you!

Favorite Color: Green or blue. It really depends on what mood I am in.

Currently Reading: Rereading The Chronicles of Amber series by Roger Zelazny

Last Song: Diga Diga Do by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (It is stuck in my head now, too)

Last Movie: At a theatre? No idea. On television- The Hitman's Bodyguard

Last Series: I did a whole weekend of WKRP in Cincinnati a couple of days ago. I really am not watching anything current. Ooo, I lied. I am watch Ghosts (USA).

Sweet, Savoury, Spicy: Savory

Craving: Garlic bread topped with melted cheese.

Tea/Coffee: Tea in the morning. Coffee in the afternoon.

Currently working on: Not a lot, I'm afraid. I am trying to write an original story, and it is moving slowly along. Right now I am mostly involved in playing World of WarCraft. I have been playing for a long, long time, and I just cannot seem to kick that habit.

Tagged by @alpacazappa - thank you!

Favorite Color: Purple or teal, depending on mood.

Currently Reading: Making it So by Patrick Stewart

Last Song: Don't Stop Believing by Journey

Last Movie: At a theatre? The Last Jedi (I don't get out much)

Last Series: Working my way through ST: Disco. Really not liking S3 though so I may abandon it. Also addicted to The Pitt and eagerly awaiting the new season of ST: SNW.

Sweet, Savoury, Spicy: Sweet most days

Craving: Sarris chocolate covered pretzels

Tea/Coffee: Water. Iced tea rarely. Hot tea if I'm sick. Never coffee.

Currently working on: Many things. Baseball memory books for the 4 senior players. Crocheting an afghan. Researching new car options. Researching assisted living facilities for mom. Finalizing retirement plans.

Tagged by @claudiam1962 - Thanks!

Favourite Color: All shades of green (the colour of growing things!)

Currently Reading: Коробка Шоколада (Russian Translation of The Chocolate Box by Agatha Christie)

Last Song: Математика by Хамелеон (my favourite early 2000s Russian party song; I was just listening to it on repeat just now)

Last Movie: I haven't been to a theatre in a while. So the last movie I saw in theatres was technically Death on the Nile. But since then I have streamed two Disney movies, Заветное Желание (Wish) and Элементарно (Elemental), and the Barbie Movie (yes I watched it in Russian too. sorry. I am predictable)

Last Series: I currently have a SEVERE case of Poirot brainrot. Yep. It's terminal and there's no cure :))

Sweet, Savoury, Spicy: Depends on my mood. I love all these. Give me sweet or savoury any day of the week. I can't seem to live without spicy at least sometimes.

Craving: Pelmeni. A very specific kind from this place in Nizhny Novgorod called Лепи Тесто. The kind filled with ground turkey, teryaki sauce, and ginger, with beetroot in the dough to make the pelmenis pink...get a big giant bowl of like 20 of them, put some sour cream and green onion on them, and sit back with a nice cold glass of sparkling lemonade? ugh sounds like heaven and I'm so sad I can't have any because I'm not there (Gotta learn to make them I guess)

Tea/Coffee: Both. Coffee in the morning, tea for the rest of the day

Currently working on: Three Poirot fics, drawing commissions, training for my new remote job, helping fix stuff on a retail website, and I will learn the dang snare drum part to Tam Bain's Lum for the bagpipe band even if it KILLS ME

(I always badly overthink these kinds of things but I'll do my best to just answer as well as I can!)

Tagged by @strohller27 (thanks and I greatly enjoyed reading about you! 💖)

Favourite Colour: I adore them all but I'm partial to the blue-green spectrum and also love black/white

(I see that "u" you snuck in there! Love it!)

Currently Reading: Pornland by Gail Dines, but I've been too distracted by other things lately to spend much time reading!

Last Song: I can't remember exactly as I've been listening on shuffle to a huge playlist of songs that remind me of Poirot and Hastings, but I think it might have been For Me... Formidable by Charles Aznavour (lyrics) !

(Математика was very fun to discover!)

Last Movie: Rewatch of Mamma Mia and its sequel! I'm a sucker for musicals and have so many great memories attached to those two movies

Last Series: Last newly-discovered series would be Poirot (and still fairly obsessed with it as you can see), but I've also been rewatching a few episodes of Glee with my partner for a bit of unhinged-but-fun nostalgia

Sweet, Savoury, Spicy: Tough choice! I'd say I can live without spicy, but I need to have a balance of sweet and savoury every day!

Craving: Vegan tuna, I love mixing it into a nice tasty ramen — but I can only consistently find the packed-in-oil kind which I never liked! Still holding out hope for the packed-in-water brands to become more accessible here...

Tea/Coffee: I never drink coffee but I occasionally enjoy all kinds of light teas or tisanes!

Currently working on: Two writing projects, including a Poirot fanfic — very excited! I'm also trying to improve my art, keep up on physical therapy, and finish up an important translation contract.

(Congrats on the new job!!)

Sweet, Savoury, Spicy: Sweet - my life runs on sugar the way some people run on caffeine

Craving: Chocolate covered biscuits. But also some good noodles, maybe a pad thai? It is approaching the dinner time and I'm hungry.

Tea/Coffee: Tea - warm when it is cold outside, iced or cold brew in the summer. I have quite a collection of various varieties of tea, my current fave is a black tea with dried tropical fruit pieces. Delicious.

Currently working on: some home improvement projects mostly. I have curtains to sew, some pictures to hang, a cabinet or two to install. I have some ideas for Poirot fanfic and fanart but those are in the planning stages. I am also starting a new embroidery project.

Favourite Colour: Traditionally I've always been mad for purple, but I think in recent years green might have taken over.

Currently Reading: For non-fiction I'm reading Proust and the Squid which is about how human brains are able to read, and for fiction I'm reading Manja which is about five children all conceived on the same night in 1920 in the Weimar Republic.

Last Song: I've had Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield stuck in my head for weeks now.

Craving: Last week I made some chicken burgers with avocado dressing and they were soooo nice, I need to get the ingredients to make them again.

Tea/Coffee: I will drink tea when it's socially prudent as a British person. Coffee I never have.

Currently working on: Furiously trying to get all 3000 voice acted lines in my game The Beekeeper's Picnic to play at the correct time. I think it's like... 99% there, but that still leaves 30 lines lurking somewhere that I need to fix!

Favourtie Colour: Fifty shades of green. (Lame joke i know)

Currently Reading: The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.

Last Song: Rain In My Heart by my boy Frank Sinatra.

Last Movie: I don't watch movies much, but I think the last movie I saw was Nosferatu, which I watched about a month ago.

Last Series: Well I rewatch one of Poirot's episodes now and then when I'm in the mood. And among new shows, I'm finally watching Succession. (I know I'm late to the game but hey—don't judge me!)

Sweet, savoury, spicy: i'm not sure! Maybe sweet? (And sour, which is missing)

Craving: Oh i want some green plums so bad!!

- listen to all of Händel's operas (I'm currently half way through)

- translate songs and poems that I like (also I started translating a children's book)
