Last Song: "Bad Moon Rising" by Emmylou Harris. One of my favorite versions!

Last Book: This Is For The Women Who Don't Give A Fuck by Janne Robinson. Poetry collection my spouse picked up on a whim.

Last Movie: The Phoenician Scheme. Delightful Wes Anderson whimsy.

Last TV Show: The currently available episodes for Season 2 of Wednesday on Netflix. See above and below also re: "Bad Moon Rising" covers.

Favorite Color: Black. Finding anything in my closet requires careful attention to item groupings by type.

Spicy, Sweet, or Savory: I do love the spice and am known for having a high tolerance. But for flavor complexity I prefer it in concert with savory, a bit of sweet, and most of all sour!

Current Obsession: Listening to every version of "Bad Moon Rising" I can get my hands on along with the classics. I blame the camping episode of Wednesday for its killer cover!

Last Search: Versions of "Bad Moon Rising" that I didn't have in my Apple Music yet. Folks, when I fixate on something I go all in.

Looking Forward To: Halloween! I've got a fun costume planned as usual; this year I'll also get to have a fire going while giving out candy thanks to the clay pit my spouse gifted me for the annual beheaded martyr holiday!

Last Song: "Dive" by Olivia Dean. Thanks Heartstopper Season 3 for once again giving me some delightful new tunes to play on repeat!

Favorite Color: Black. Same as it ever was!

Last Book: Candy by Don Albergotti. Random read my spouse brought home and very enjoyable!

Last Movie: A Simple Favor. I absolutely loved it. Unsurprisingly directed by Paul Feig, whose work I always seem to adore whether he's behind the camera or in front of it!

Last Show: I'm currently digging into newer episodes of Yellowjackets after loving the first season back when!

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Like prev, I think savory and spicy is always a winning combination and likewise delight in Korean-style soups! I often add a Koryo-saram inflection to my traditional Slavic dishes as well these days.

Relationship Status: Married and partnered! I've been with my spouse for over 13 years and my partner for a little under 2 years now.

Last Thing I Looked Up: The billing rate for a special promotion on mosquito control services from my lawn treatment company. Pretty unexciting stuff, but it was helpful!

Current Obsession: The new Ginger Lime Mule flavor of seltzer from Polar! Absolutely delicious.

Looking Forward To: Roaming around at ArtCrawl this weekend if my health and the weather permit! I love a good outdoor art expo.

can’t I just kill them all? :D
