The Basics (Can't Really Change Them)

Name: Skye

Age: 32

Location: Mid-Southern USA


Currently, what are you...

... Reading? I am rereading Katherine Addison's The Witness for the Dead. I got it on Tuesday and read the whole thing (it is pretty slim... only 230ish pages!). I'd like to savor it better the second time around.

... Watching? I am ostensibly watching two shows at the moment: Our Flag Means Death on HBO Max, and Pinecone and Pony, a cartoon on Apple TV+. I've watched one episode of the former and quite enjoyed it. I've watched three episodes (really six; there' are two 11min shorts per episode) of the latter. I am honestly pretty terrible about watching TV or even movies consistently, though.

... Listening to? Music-wise: whatever's in my iTunes library that I like (so mostly Daft Punk, though I did listen to a couple Janelle Monae albums recently). I am also slowly making my way through Welcome to Night Vale again. I finally caught up last year (am behind by a few episodes again, but no matter), and it's really just a phenomenal podcast.

... Playing? I have managed to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons every day for a long while now. I've also been playing a game called Gradiently on my Switch; you have to arrange colored tiles to form a gradient, and it's pretty relaxing and fun.

... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? I am generally always crocheting something or other; right now it's a dragon amigurumi/plushie. I also picked up a cross-stitch kit that I haven't touched in a year and a half today, so that was nice. I am also ostensibly working on writing things, though my muse/inspiration/motivation has been AWOL for like a month, so that's kind of not happening at the moment. Anyway.

... Looking forward to? The new Thor Marvel movie? They released a trailer the other day, and it looks really, really good, or at the very least, extremely entertaining. Also Katherine Addison has another book out this summer, I think, and I'm looking forward to that.

... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? I mean... *gestures broadly at everything?* Though honestly I'm probably most concerned about the various anti-trans and anti-aborition legislation being enacted around the US right now. It's honestly feeling like the GOP is modeling their "ideal America" on Margaret Atwood's Gilead. :///


What were your last three LJ entries about and when did you post them?

- 4/20: A general update on my life stuff.
- 4/7: Update on how my (minor) surgery went.
- 4/4: Worrying about how my (minor) surgery was going to go, with some life-update stuff as well.


Anything else?
Not really? I try to post at least once or twice a week, though sometimes there are longer gaps (see above). I am not much of a fandom person, though; I mostly just post about what's going on with me. There's a pinned post on my blog if you want to see what other kind of stuff I like.
