Tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better/catch up with sharing: last song/last movie/currently reading/currently watching

rules: tag 9 people you want to know better/catch up with and then answer these questions!

last song: Laura Branigan - Gloria (tsk, tsk, woman needs a break for sure)

last movie: home - Thelma (I was shook, really, WTH with the teenage angst), cinema - Onward (entertaining enough, but Pixar can do much better, last one I saw just before all cinemas shut down; next one I’ll go and see on the big screen will be............................ PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, back in cinema for a very limited run, can’t wait)

currently reading: Nothing right now, but just finished the Reykjavík Noir Trilogy (Snare, Trap, Cage) by Lilja Sigurðardóttir (quite intense read with loads of w|w drama, and a fascinating take on white collar crime)

currently watching: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 (I'm late, only 6 more seasons to catch up, ahhh...)

currently craving: I'm well fed for the day/night

hi steph! staying as safe and keeping as well as i can given, well, [gestures vaguely at the world]. i hope you're finding some moments of happiness in all this.

👁: what color are your eyes? hazel, mostly green with some continents of brown.

❤️: what’s something that you love? my motorcycle, which is giving me a degree of isolated freedom a lot of people don't get to have.

🍕: what pizza toppings do you like? my normal order is sausage and pepperoni, but the only topping i cannot abide is olives. i'm also pro-pineapple-on-pizza. my local spot does an italian hawaiian pizza (pineapple, garlic, pepperoni) and it is [chef's kiss].

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN BAKING LATELY i have honestly not baked anything in ages! since starting work i try to be in bed about two hours after i get home and my weekends are packed with chores and errands. today, however, i am making cherry amaretto chocolate chip ice cream!

You know nonny...if I didn’t have a reason to live before today, you certainly gave me one now. You.

Although I’d rather not murder you but if I must, I’ll happily do it with Noémie content.

by matterofline: Pull down your mask and show your truth!

@pensoakspaper​ yeah, i thought my fingers were just bruised but when i tried to go back to work i couldn’t put any pressure on my index finger without shooting pain so my company safety guy took me in. non-displaced fracture in my left index finger.
