my monthly blog check-in

Posted: December 4th, 2022 | Tags: Uncategorized | No Comments »

i can’t exactly quit this blog but trust that i’ll be slow as hell about updating it. life continues apace. just finished the romance novel the dead romantics, which was honestly not that great, but i guess readable. it DID get me excited to finally read mick herron’s dead lions, which has been sitting on my bedside table for too time, so that’s something.

i’m trying to think of this year, what even happened? a foggy summary:

took my end-of-program exams
got a dope new slouchy couch
my sweet sister got married!!!!
on the way back from london, i missed my train from austin to marfa, which turned out to be a great blessing TBH
made my only grad school B in the dumbest grad school class of all time and for WHAT
the library blew up at the end of may (not literally) and it was hell but we got through it but WOW
GRADUATED GRAD SCHOOL, THE MOST MIRACULOUS THING, it actually happened, i did it! it seems impossible even now
ross left on two long trips and i straight up HATED it, does this make me co-dependent
loved x infinity andor
also loved severance, even though what will the second season bring?
read a bunch of books, the best were station eleven and slow horses, but my mind is a sieve, there might have been other highlights?
had a wonderful trip to el paso with courtney where we saw THREE movies (first theater visits since pre-covid) and stayed at a plush hotel and just basically blasted, oh it was heaven
pretty much couldn’t get into white lotus — enlightened remains mike white’s great achievement, no further questions
rediscovered my love for gary oldman AND michael keaton
