a quick hello to the new folks in my circle!
Hi, everyone! I'm happy to have some new people subscribing to me, and I promise to actually post things sometimes, even! But I got home yesterday from ten days away to a pile of ToBeDone teetering high overhead and threatening to come crashing down on me. Still, I crossed twenty-four items off my to-do list today and cleared out a bunch of email, so I'm in not-too-terrible shape.
My time away was lovely, though! Time with good friends I don't see often enough, and time with family ditto. (Er, also some time with family I definitely do see enough of, but everything was inoffensive and the food was delicious, so it's all good.) Now I'm trying to catch up on everything that accumulated while I was away, and also work on two weddings and a child dedication, an editing job, and a workshop I'm going to be co-leading on how to do weddings. Only I have to, you know, develop the workshop, first!
I continue to be hooked on The Expanse, if anyone is looking for a gripping political and scientific space show with layered characters and multiple storylines! In a way it fills some of the niche that Game of Thrones does, for me, only with a more interesting and interestingly varied cast and no sexual violence at all, which is refreshing, god. I'm also reading the books, though I've barely started, there.
I also watched several episodes of London Spy with some of the friends I was visiting, and we all found it riveting and creepy, and ultimately it was too creepy to keep going on with because we needed something a bit more comforting. But I'm definitely going to go back to it when I can! Thanks for recommending it,
ringthebells!
I continue my pattern of going to the States a lot and yet never making it to a march or protest. (It's a skill: Geoff and I were in Sicily over Easter Week a few years ago and managed to miss every single Easter parade and celebration, which is a bit like a mosquito flying between the raindrops.) I keep having fantasies of coming back down next weekend or the weekend after, but I flat can't, not and keep my other commitments. Sigh.
And since I certainly know why I've had a bunch of new people subscribe to my journal in the past week, I'll add: I accepted LJ's new, noxious, and only-in-Russian terms of service only in order to retain access to some friends' journals over there, but I'm still pondering options. In the meantime, however, this will be the last entry I crosspost. If you're reading me on LJ -- which I don't even think anyone is, any longer? I was actually going to post a query about that before everything caught on fire anyway -- you'll have to read me on DW now, or I guess you could set up a feed at LJ if you really care. Or stop reading me, as you prefer. (I'm on Twitter, too, though I tweet pretty rarely as well. My Twitter is locked for RL reasons, but I happily accept follow requests from anyone who knows me through journal-land.)
And now I've got to go start making dinner -- I'm roasting All The Brussel Sprouts, and also Some Of The Green Beans because Geoff said he didn't want just brussel sprouts with the fish I'm also cooking, even though he loved them when I roasted them last month, so there. More for me!
