Goings On

[lightofdaye]

Happy Friday everyone, how is it May? I, like everyone else, am losing my sense of time entirely. Owing to bank holidays and four day weeks I've been enjoying Fridays off for a while now.


So no writing to report but i have been doing some other things this year:

• I've playing a lot of Spider-Man on the PS4 and even bought myself the DLC add-ons when they were on sale last week, so playing through that new content at the moment.
• I've watched movies I've never seen before on Netflix. The Cabin In The Woods and The Silence of the Lambs, not a big horror fan though so not going further with the other Hannibal films.
• Working very slowly through the final episodes of Capaldi's Doctor Who run, want to go back to Star Trek Discovery after that
• Re-read all the Hornblower books and then started reading some news ones I'd been putting off. Brief Cases, the second Dresden Files anthology by Jim Butcher and currently Voyage of the Basilisk by Marie Brennan the third in her lady trent/natural history of dragons series.

On the fandom side, I've put in some prompts for hphet 's minifest. As I've said before. This weekend is your last chance to get some in! So if you have any het ideas do please consider entering them! You never know who you might inspire. :)

Hope everyone is as well as can be.

Happy Friday! Trick Daddy has been WFH on Fridays, and we are getting very comfortable with having 3-day weekends together.

It's weird. I had a lot of anxiety the first few weeks we were on lockdown, then I kind of became apathetic about it. Now I'm feeling a creeping anxiety about reopening. Almost like an animal who has become accustomed to their cage. Time has little meaning.

The Silence of the Lambs is fantastic! Hannibal is very gory but beautifully shot. I actually prefer it.

I've been trying to think of prompts, but fandom is so far from my mind these days. I'm sure I'll think of 20 or so as soon as prompting closes, haha.

Enjoy your Friday and your weekend!

it's going to be so weird going back. I don't know if you're opening back up soon I think its varying by state in the US?

Our lot have been making noises about being over the peak which is a bit worrying as well.

No worries about the prompts or fandom. If they do start flooding in after the deadline maybe write them down and save them for another time? (or email them all to me, lol)

Happy weekend to you to!

Yeah, it varies by state. Ours is still mostly shut down, and they've closed schools for the rest of the academic year. Our dear neighbor, Georgia, appears to have lost their minds - opening salons, gymns, tattoo parlors. We'll see how that works out for them.

I can't believe it's May. And we say that every year, don't we? But the feeling behind it is very different this year.
