Read a bit more than usual in November since joining the ranks of the unemployed.

Thank you 😊

Monthly reading update. I expect to make a real dent in my to-read shelf next month since I was laid off this week. 📚

Enjoying a rainy Sunday with dogs, nature documentaries, my latest record store finds, seasonal baking, and improving book.

Hey, I remembered that this platform exists! Here’s what I read in September. The Lower Decks comics were so much fun. I enjoyed one of the timelines in The Bewitching but the other was meh for me. Room 904 had some great scary parts but the plot felt too busy to me. 📚

Finished some knits recently. Why did I go this long without a purple sparkly cloak? Also knit a hat for my five year old self. 🧶

I liked it well enough. I enjoyed the creepy roses and vultures, but the pacing felt off. What did you think of it?

August reads. On a bit of a vampire kick with both books and movies. Watching the Blade trilogy was a nice way to rest during a summer head cold. 📚

Thank you!

June reads. I enjoyed them all in different ways. Would recommend Gilded Needles if you want to read about a matriarchal crime family getting brutal revenge on a sanctimonious patriarchal family. And yes, Red House Mystery was written by the guy who wrote Winnie the Pooh. 📚

This guy is four today! He’s officially not our little puppy anymore.

Happy Pride! Here’s relevant vacation pics. Love how many rainbows there are on display in the Toronto area.

Forgot to post last month, but here’s what I’ve been reading. Lots of cozy, lots of murder.

Had a lovely day at Niagara Falls yesterday. I recommend the Power Station museum and tunnel. Yay for science and creepy tunnels!

Our backyard roses are really taking off this year! 🌹

I SURVIVED READING BANNED BOOKS ALL I GOT WAS SMARTER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

📚 ¿y tù? 📖

Glad you made it home safe. It was great to see you!

Planted annuals today. Happy Springoween!

Some recent finished knits. Kept running out of yarn for the sweater but kept finding close matches in my stash. I guess I have a favorite shade of red. Plus hats made from scraps. 🧶

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR.

I really enjoyed The Dead Take the A Train so I probably should have rated it higher. Try @thestorygraph.com (as an alternative to Amazon’s Goodreads) to get yours.

Out for a comedy show and a much needed laugh.

There are a lot of VPN options out there. Here's how you can find the one that fits your needs.

After a fairly sedentary winter, the last three weekends have been full of dance workshops. I danced with an assaya (stick), a veil, and sagat (finger cymbals). I did debke, shaabi, and a drum solo. It was a lot, but I did it!

It’s Leeloo’s ninth adoption day! Celebrating with cheeseburgers and a squeaky piñata.

I enjoyed all of these for different reasons. I would recommend Talk for anyone who struggles with social anxiety. 📚

We’ve been using Plex for our movie and music library. Their Plexamp app is specifically for music and it’s been working great for us at home and in the car.
