I completely forgot about RSD yesterday because I was painting with some friends over discord. I haven't painted in years and acrylics aren't really what I was super familiar with but I had so much fun and I think it turned out pretty good (I didn't quite finish at the bottom though).

Looks like my store might have one: Ladytron - Light & Magic (Rsd) [Record Store Day] | Siren Records

My shop was pretty picked over by the time I got there so I ended up not getting anything but it was nice to look. Ended up getting a few books from the indie bookstore down the street instead. Still a great day.

Once again I completely forgot about record store day, lol. Wouldn't have been able to go first thing today anyway due to a planned group thing but we just decided we would go over after lunch and see if there is anything fun left. Hope everyone is finding what they want!

I was in a meeting and vaguely registered the house was shaking but didn't think about it too hard until someone mentioned it was an earthquake, then everyone on our team who lives near here was like "ohh, so that's what that was." I remember the one from 2011 because I was waiting for my...

Book 5 - Fever Dream - Samanta Schweblin I read Little Eyes a few years ago and remember liking it a lot, and I really enjoyed the writing of this one as well. I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much, but the atmosphere was excellent and unsettling. I might see if I can grab Little Eyes again...

It probably doesn't help that I grew up around very religious people (baptists, not mormon). My sister and I went to public school and had a relatively non-toxic upbringing (though I'm not religious anymore), but I knew a lot of anti-intellectual, homeschool families that had some similar...

Book 3 - Educated - Tara Westover This was... a lot. I had heard this was good but I didn't expect there to be so much abuse and gaslighting. It was definitely impactful and inspiring but I need a palate cleanser now...

I've only read 2 of these so I don't have a great frame of reference, but I really liked the one for In The Aeroplane Over the Sea. The other one I tried was for Unknown Pleasures and I gave up on that one about halfway through because I couldn't click with the author at all.

Book 2: The Bandit Queens - Parini Shroff This was a bit more plot-focused than the books I typically ready (I'm usually more a character development and vibes kinda girl), but um... this was great. I think the end got a little ridiculous, but I think it really worked for what the author was...

I lowered my goal for this year, I made it to 52 books last year, but my last one ended up being one of those Amazon short stories I listened to on 2x speed on New Years Eve just to get it done (I can't remember the name of the story but it was by Carmen Maria Machado... it was pretty good). I...

I managed to knit quite a few things last year. I had 9 things planned and managed to finish 8 of them, with the last sweater (the very blue one) about halfway done. I am definitely not this organized this year but we'll see, haha.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Merry Christmas!
