Last song: "The Wonderful in You" by Caro Emerald! The jazz/swing chanteuse of my heart :)

Last film: the first half of Lawrence of Arabia! I am slowly but surely inculcating the desert husbands on everyone... Today, @ninadove — tomorrow, the world!

Last TV show: omg good question... I haven't been watching much TV (on my own) lately... Possibly either MASH or Star Trek TNG or at least snippets of Black Books

Last thing I googled: Jacques Weber Dracula (M Weber, if u see this, PLEASE <3 The 3rd great count after Monte Cristo & de Guiche!!)

Looking forward to: meeting a friend I haven't seen in months at a Japanese steakhouse for dinner tonight 🥰 & attending the theatre (technically the opera house) with another friend later this week! & a trivia party even later this week!! I also have a few recently read fics on stand-by to drop my usual monolithic comments on...but between everything else, I'm not sure when I'll get the time to do so o_O

14. Favorite book you read this year?

picking favorites is always so tricky so i will give. a favorite for 2 diff categories.

nonfiction: tie between henry rollins' get in the van (i dunk on him all the time about gitv but there are some genuinely sweet moments in his insane touring diary) & joan didion's miami (still reading that one but i am soft for books about sfl and politics and things. similar to my feelings about punk under the sun)

i read mostly recreationally and without a goal to finish things. lidderallee i read the crow in spanish but still havent finished it in english. im hoping that if i can finish at least one more book soon it'll be hamnet. i think they made a movie about it ?? if so i gotta read before i watch 🫀🫀 yay books

20. What’s something you learned this year?

a lot of things ive learned have been related to work. i know how to change toilet paper and soap dispensers now. i know that there are different kinds of cigarettes like a million different kinds. i learned how to do a surgical stitch and used that to fix up a stuffie of mine. some cooking things for sure. I LEARNED A CARD TRICK AND IT WORKED?? call me gambitttt. still need to get better at that so i can repeat it in the future. i learned how to make a flexagon and sosoosooo many recipes for paper mache or artist's clay. finally earned my florida badge of honor by picking up a little lizard by the tail for the first time in my life. learned some songs on bass/pianer. got better at screaming. learned to verbalize things that are scary to say but need to be said. lots of new skills this year

THANK YOU !!!! horse
