Turned 32 today, and all I've done is cook breakfast for myself and my twin (we hung out all day yesterday), washed a couple loads of clothes and sleep. Now, I'm heading out to pick up dinner. Very low-key day, yet I'm satisfied.

Film you've seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR or Marvel

I haven't even made it out the door tbh. I googled that part first.
If you invite me somewhere with complicated parking, I’m going home.

I fell down a hole of "people who love wicked and picked up the book thinking it was going to be a fluffy fantasy romance story"
😂😂😂😂

I adored that book for a long time and was shocked when they made it into a family friendly musical.

It's dark and satirical and wonderful.

Saw Wicked: For Good. Loved it! My main critique is the rough pacing in parts, though no surprise by any means given the source material. The performances, however, were everything I needed. Cynthia and Ariana did that! Jonathan, my man! Can't wait to see it again so that I can properly dissect.

Finished ELPHIE. Now back to where I left off on WICKED (1995). Hopefully from there, I'll finally read the rest of the Wicked Years series.

As for film/TV, leaning towards checking out TIN MAN (2007) and THE WIZ (1978) next.
Not sure which version of Oz I'll head to next. For now, I'm going back to the Wicked (literary) realm with ELPHIE (2025). I do have a list of other Oz-related books/shows/films I want to check out soon, but suggestions are welcome.

Every time I say this, I get some type of backlash, but to be a good writer, you have to be a good reader. Yes, read your niche, but read widely too. I read poetry, horror, graphic novels, picture books, and non-fiction, too. It's only made my writing better.

Was supposed to be catching up on writing yesterday but fell back down a Wicked rabbit hole.

Altogether I watched:
- 2 episodes of the new Wicked podcast
- Wicked: Part One (rewatch)
- Wicked: The Real Story documentary
‐ Wicked: One Wonderful Night
- multiple BTS clips and interviews

I'm doing NaNoWrimo this year. Last time I made a serious attempt at it was back in 2018 when I actually finished a draft of something. Now I've got way too many stories in my head. Time to tap back in. (I may do a thread of my daily word counts.) Wish me luck! @nano2point0.bsky.social

Kerivoula picta, the painted bat, looks like a figment of Halloween's imagination, but is real. Very sadly they're endangered, but the fact they exist is a pretty magical thing to think about today: www.batcon.org/bat/kerivoul...
