Whew... more than a year since I posted. I guess my covid response included never coming to dreamwidth for some reason... Not that the pandemic isn't still happening, but still, maybe I'm back. :D

What happened last year? 

Real life:
Not much tbh, the schools were closed for a few months in the spring so we all worked remotely. During the summer I had a nice 3 week vacation and didn't really do much of anything, then in the fall one of our psychologists quit and we haven't been able to hire a new one all year, which has added more work to my plate... But if I'm still at this job in August that will make it 2 years, the longest time I've stayed in one job, pretty good for me.

I'm gonna go visit mom for Easter, going today and staying for a few nights.

I really miss just traveling somewhere :( Maybe 2022? I really want to go to Japan, waah~ Also before covid struck I was planning a trip to Athens, so that's also on the itinerary still *sigh* I have been saving money for a trip all year, but I dunno, I might use most of it for this short therapy -therapist course

Fandom wise:
I've been enjoying kpop; mostly bts since December 2019 and am still going strong :D (my poor wallet, kpop fandom is so good at coming up with stuff I want to buy). I've also been playing d&d still, so it's been a bit over 2 years now(?)

I've also slowly been getting into Cdramas and Danmei again. Previously I did watch Guardian, but missed the Untamed hype at its peak bc I couldn't find a place where to watch it properly. I've watched that now and I'm watching Word of Honor at the moment (aaah it's so good!). I've alse read a few Danmei novels (translations obviously) and I'm really enjoying the tropes (even if the whole seme/uke thing gets pretty annoying)

Went to visit my mom last weekend and we went to the summer cabin. It was really nice (there was the heatwave going, which was a bit too hot for me) and we had some of my relatives visiting and had a small graduation celebration for me (with cake) My cousins also brought their sup board and I finally got to try it. It was super fun and I want to get one next summer (it's like made for a small lake like we have at the cabin, there's hardly ever any waves)

Work starts tomorrow! I have no idea what I'm supposed to do or what time I should get to work, but I'm sure it'll sort itself out. I think school only starts next week, so I'm hoping there's time for planning and figuring out how we're splitting up responsibilities with the other people in our team. (two psychologists and one other school counselor)

I've actually managed to read and listen to books this month, which has been a relief. I've read the first Lord John book by Diana Gabaldon, and two of the short stories about him. I really enjoyed them, but sadly there seems to be no fic really, which sucks. I've also listened to two of the Vorkosigan books about Miles and I started Cetaganda today. I had to pick up another audiobook app to get there, as I didn't want to pay for the paperbacks. I've kind of put myself on ban for buying new books, which has led me to abusing this loophole about audiobooks xD I also listened to a Forgotten Reals book called the God Catcher, which I really enjoyed and I want to read something else by this author Erin M Evans. For some reason she's only written Forgotten Realms books, but if they're as fun as this one was I don't mind.

I've also been doing a lot of game prep for my Waterdeep Dragonheist game, if by prep we mean, watched and read a lot of random lore things. :D There's so much STUFF out there about everything in Forgotten Realms, it can get a bit overwhelming tbh, but at the same time it's fun to learn about.

I think there was something else I wanted to write about but now I've forgotten... Oh the weather, It's back to being super cold again, it was about +13C on tuesday, but it got a but warmer today. I don't miss the +33C weather at all, but this is a bit too cold for July, I hope it goes back to low 20's still in August. I love warm autumns.

I bumped into this gif today, while I was trying to find photos of short haired female characters (this is a nightmare, how is this so hard?!) and I had kind of forgotten how hot Cassandra is! The eternal injustice of not being able to romance her with a female Inquisitor, seriously Bioware, shame on you

It's May!

I got offered the job I applied for (I had the job interview today). I'm not feeling super excited about it though, I don't know what to make of that, as I thought I was ready for a change... Hmm. I have over the weekend to think about it before I have to let them know.

It seems Simon Pegg and company are going to make a River's of London tv show. On the one hand, yay! On the other hand, it's a bunch of white guys making a Rivers of London show. They'd better not whitewash it.

Nothing much else has been going on. I'm still really enjoying all kinds of D&D content and it's nice to have something I'm really excited about again.

I've watched 3 episodes of the Orville and it seems okay. I see why some people feel like it's more trek than Discovery, as the episode topics seem pretty trekky. I think I'll keep watching.

I saw Endgame and was annoyed with a lot of it. I was even more annoyed after I had read some meta about it. I especially hated what they did with Thor. Captain Marvel was my favourite part about the whole thing. I'm so here for more of her adventures as well as the next Black Panther but beyond that? I guess I'll go see the new Spiderman this summer as Homecoming was very cute and Tom Holland is fine, but after seeing the animated film I'm just mad we couldn't get Miles Morales instead
