The Basics (Can't Really Change Them) Name: rekishi, Sam Age: late 30s Location: Germany, Europe
Currently, what are you... ... Reading? I'm sort of between books atm and started the first of the "Chief Inspector Gamache" mysteries mostly because I had it on my kindle already, but I don't plan to read the whole series at this point ... Watching? Nothing new, for reasons outlined below. I have a weekly Farscape rewatch and am watching a lot of crime procedurals I have already seen at least once (but mostly more often), because I know what happens and it's basically comfort watching ... Listening to? Nothing specific, I am just off a The Amazing Devil trip (triggered by writing Witcher fanfic), but I basically will always listen to Queen and otherwise a random assortment of what comes whenever ... Playing? I don't play games. Duolingo, if we count that! But I've mostly just been keeping my streak alive the last few weeks because I need to prioritize ... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? I'm working in a regulated industry and I'm always working on one project strategy or other, and I also sometimes write about what I lovingly dub "my IT project"...I'm not in IT or anything related to IT, but somehow found myself elbows deep in systems. Go figure. I'm also working on a master's thesis for a job-specific degree. I hate it and have been asking everyone I know to shoot me if I start talking about another post-graduate degree. Leisure-wise, I just finished a Witcher fic where I turned Jaskier and Geralt into frogs, which was my first and only excursion to Witcher fandom (one hopes!) and am currently working on a murder mystery fic which is a thin veneer for writing a friends to lovers story ... Looking forward to? The thesis being done. That's the one silver living ... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? My Ukrainian colleagues. The war in Ukraine in general and the political response to it. The election in France. Failing the thesis.
What were your last three LJ entries about and when did you post them? Uhm let's see: Today: Many things make a post a general update on thesis/fic/books/my twisted knee and a link to this place Yesterday: Two Progress Reports an update on my twisted knee and a draft for three very silly murder mystery scenarios that I enjoyed greatly Friday: An auspicious start to the weekend? about my vanquishing my leaking kitchen drain, my productive plans for the weekend and the subsequent update that I twisted my knee like an idiot Anything else? Contrary to what it looks like I don't post daily and have the unfortunate tendency to sometimes go radio silent over stretches of time. I'm not talking from a US perspective, which may be obvious and has never been an issue on DW but has led to misunderstandings in other places on the interwebs.
