Pleased as I am with my provisional exam results, I still wish I'd discovered exactly how ill I've been before getting 3/4 of the way through my degree.

Even as I feel that fascinated awe when faced with historical reality - not the great monuments; the footprints, the bits of cloth, the lewd joke carved into a wall - it utterly puzzles me why we fixate so much on what happened to strangers millions of years ago.

An hour ago, I was watching video instructions to tailor a shirt (necessary, not whim. This time).
I ended up on Bella Thorne's Wikipedia trying to figure out who she was on AHS.
I do, however, know how to fix my shirt. I think.
Law school has had the odd effect of making me very craft-y. 🤔🧵🪡🧑🎨

I would love to visit the kind palaces of Jantje Friese & Baran bo Odar. Dark is still one of my all-time favourite series & 1899 is shaping up to be the same.
They're frickin brilliant. I hate them. 😂

I usually find Agatha Christie a bit quaint for my tastes, but I highly recommend #SevenDials. It's delightfully twisty & the cinematography (what I always show up for) is extremely gratifying.

I've reached the I-Need-To-Get-Me-A-Saw stage of trying to fix my shelf problem. Although I'd need to find a good tree first...
You really take things for granted when you can walk out the house & drag a tree down off the mountain.
Not even the most hick thing I've done, either.

On a related note, I cant find a book to read.
I have The Burning Kingdoms, Shadow of the Leviathan, Legacy of Orïsha, The Greatcoats, Rotherweird, The Expanse, The Silo Saga, Iskari, & Cities of the Weft all in progress but not in the mood for any of them.

Bonus of researching apocalypses: You see it coming way before everyone else.
Downside: You saw it coming way before everyone else, & people have an oddly negative reaction when you say, "Told ya."
I'm so feeling the Cassandra vibes.

Sometimes I like to browse the writing how-to books and pretend they'll get the writing done.
Spoiler: They don't. Writing gets the writing done, so sit your ass down and do it.
