Spent this whole week getting over a cold due to Sunday's snow, thankfully the worst of it is over and I just have some stuffy nose problems left. Thank goodness, my head felt like it was swimming half the time o/; When I could keep my attention tho, I was able to fill my time with reading, games, and music.
Properly listened to Rico Nasty's latest album
Lethal, and I am a big fan now. Went back thru her discography and I love all the genre blending she does <3_<3
Got hooked on the soundtrack for Heated Rivalry as well and
Bad Things by Cailin Russo is my absolute favorite. It will have the honor of being the next song lyrics I use to title a fic (Jack/Will PotC).
I went back into LJ and website archives to read Jack/Will fanfic from 2004 and so on - I'm so grateful I'm still able to access these epics. Shout out to the Wayback machine so I could experience
The Pirate Way. Also! Manips! It's been so long since I've been in a live action fandom, I forgot how prevalent they were. It's been really lovely.
I finished!! My first 300+ page book this year.
The Traitor and The Wretch was everything I wanted it to be. I got to the ending and audibly whined out loud to my wife, who was sitting next to me, "I don't want it to be over!" In the best of ways, I have so many questions about the world Jasmine Walls has set up - I would gobble up a sequel whole heartedly. Does it need one? Not necessarily, I was satisfied with the ending. It felt very much earned after everything Percy and Knell have been through. But I would love to see them in that next phase of their life. Their chemistry as a developing couple over time hooked me harddddd.
Since my headspace didn't line up with the rest of Snowflake this year, I'll just let it rest. I did see a new challenge being promoted:
Stuff I love: Top Ten Edition that is all about squee and sharing your excitement every week in February [eyes emoji]
Otherwise, it's so, so, so cold over here. Having tofu and zucchini curry with rice for dinner tonight, and staying in.
