The Basics (Can't Really Change Them) Name: Elise Age: 33 Location: Greater Montreal Area, Quebec, Canada
Currently, what are you... ... Reading? Primarily, Hello Goodbye Hello by Craig Brown. And at the rate of one chapter a week (to go along with the Harry Potter and the Sacred Text podcast), Harry Potter y el prisionero de Azkaban (HP3 in Spanish, if that wasn’t clear ^^) ... Watching? If I look at this week, weekly shows on TV: (the latest seasons of) Call the Midwife, Outlander, The Rookie, Mr. Mayor, This Is Us, A Million Little Things, Star Trek: Picard, The Girl from Plainville and Ghosts (US). And on the side I’m finishing up the Netflix docuseries Diagnosis. ... Listening to? My Release Radar playlist on Spotify. Right now it’s some classical piece, I’m not exactly sure why… ... Playing? My only computer game is The Sims 4. On my phone I play Hogwarts Mystery, and am ridiculously addicted to a dumb game called Merge Numbers. ... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? Job-wise, I’m a freelance editor and translator. Today I’m finishing the edit of a crime novel I’ve been working on for a few weeks. Leisure-wise, I’m working on a maybe-potential-novel-eventually, and I always have a gazillion HP fanfiction ideas going, though I try to limit my writing to maximum three simultaneously. ... Looking forward to? The Imola F1 race Sunday (Forza Italia!) and Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon next Saturday! ... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? *gestures wildly at everything around* I mean, is there something to not be concerned about in 2022?! But more concretely, this weekend is the French presidential elections. I have double nationality but I won’t vote because they don’t allow us to mail-in and pandemic, but I still hope they’ll avoid the tendency of the world to fall to the right-wing extremists.
What were your last three DW entries about and when did you post them? Wednesday (4/20): I wrote about the novel I was editing. I do that when I have really terrible manuscripts. I never give out titles or authors, or any details that would make it possible to identify the book, but these entries always amuse my readers greatly ^^ Tuesday (4/19): A very short entry to celebrate that I got an appointment to get measured for a custom wheelchair (after six months on the waiting list), and that I was getting an incomprehensibly large tax return this year. Sunday (4/17): My usual weekly summary. Every Sunday I write about the media I consumed during the week (books, TV and movies), talk about the work I did, share a random anecdote and post a photo of my cat Kenji, because she’s cute and I love her.
Anything else? I’m hoping this friendzy will be as successful here as it was last year on LJ, because I lost a bunch of people in the recent move and would really enjoy having a reading page as active here as it was over there!
