Previous poll reviewIn
the Being an audience poll, 41.3% of respondents have been to the cinema in the last six months, 28.3% to the theatre, and 17.4% to a live music gig. I'm curious about the 10.9% who chose "other".
In ticky-boxes, bakery treats came second to hugs, 60.9% to 73.9%, which is an excellent showing. Snow puppies came third with 47.8%. Thank you for your votes! ♥
ReadingAndrew and I finished
Barrayar by Lois McMaster Bujold, so now I know what
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
minoanmiss meant by SHOPPING TRIP. *takes a moment* Anyway, it was great. I love Bujold's character work and her humour. Looking forward to the next one and getting to know Miles.
KdramasStill re-watching
One Spring Night, lol. I made a flaily post about it a few days ago, but then realised that my "realisations" were actually explained in the next few scenes, so I don't know if I'm seeing the show differently or just remembering info I learned from the first time around. I've since privated the post, but if you've seen OSN and want to talk to me about it, please do!! I am mildly obsessed.
I also started
Undercover Miss Hong on
adore's
rec. I'm in the middle of episode 2, and it's great so far. It reminds me of
Good Manager (AKA
Chief Kim) to the point where I checked if it was the same writer (it isn't), and otoh, the lead is played by Park Shin-hye, who was the nun in the "nun undercover as her twin brother in a boyband" drama,
You're Beautiful, which was my gateway drug into the world of Kdramas, so in a way it feels like coming full circle. (Here, she's undercover as a 20yo.)
Other TVWe finished the
Return of the King extras (omg, so stressful!). Still watching
The Pitt, of course, though I really think it works better all in a bunch, rather than one episode a week. (I won't say "binged", because the most we ever manage is three episodes a night -- that's a lot for us.)
Happened to notice that
Cheers is on Neon (NZ streaming service, incl. some HBO), and randomly started watching it -- it's aged surprisingly well! Very white, and the sexism vs feminism tension is front and centre, but Sam is fine, and everyone seems to be having a good time. We'll stick with that for a while and see.
The pilot of
R.J. Decker, a new PI show loosely based on a Carl Hiaasen novel. It's very network TV, case-of-the-week and easy-going. Good supporting cast. Seems fine. A few episodes of
Ponies, about two CIA widows trying to be spies in cold war Russia. They don't have much trade craft yet, so it's equal parts comedic and tense. Half an episode of
SurrealEstate.
My sister and I are still on
Fringe season 4, in which the entire multiverse revolves around Peter; I prefer Lincoln. And we watched some
Bluey, naturally. Just finished season 1 and started season 2. 🧡💙🧡
Audio entertainmentAll the usual suspects. More
Movie Briefs, more local politics. And the episode of
A Bit Fruity recced by
sabotabby (who gives excellent podcast recs, btw). A
Tech Won't Save Us episode about The Luddite Club. A bit of
Ad Astra about pacing. I think I'm spending too much time listening to podcasts.
Online lifeThe 520 Day Guardian Reverse Exchange is coming soon!! We've been doing some behind-the-scenes prep for that. And wheeeee, I won a Fandom Trumps Hate auction (my first time bidding) -- so exciting!!
Writing/making thingsStill bashing my head against the two things I started for Yuletide. It would be fantastic to get these off my plate before I get my 520 Day assignment and have to redecorate my brain in
Guardian. *plugs away* (I feel like my intuition is offline, and I'm having to figure everything out with my inept thinking brain, why?)
In drawing, I did a practice pic of Zhao Yunlan, and wow, expressions are hard; the difference between worried and scared is, like, a millimetre here, a millimetre there...
Life/health/mental state thingsThe tsunami of ambient stress is making itself felt in my body. When I bought my new phone, I somehow got six months' free premium Fitbit membership again, so I tried wearing my Fitbit to sleep, to build up a data profile. And yep, an "objective" poor rating makes a subjective bad night's sleep feel so much worse. That's why I stopped doing this last time! So I've stopped again. Also, my resting pulse rate was going up and up for a while there. /o\
Had my free breast-squish day.
GoalsI did not do my goal things from last week. Ah well.
Good thingsSunshine. New (second-hand) red bag arrived this week; I don't think it's as waterproof as advertised, but it's a step up from my sponge of a handbag. Showers and kitties and going out to lunch. Biking and bike lanes. The
Bingo fanart I received in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomtrees continues to be cheering/soothing. GUARDIAN!!
