mozaikmageI want to try doing these mini-media roundups once a week now. So, how's my week been so far? It's been pretty good. More importantly, how's my media consumption been this week?
Currently Reading:
Stag Dance by Torrey Peters: Approximately 50% of the way through now, meaning I've read the first two shorter stories and about half of the title story. Surprised by the recurring motif of pigs. I like how Peters is interested in the ways people can love and care about each other but also deeply resent each other, for being different or for being the same.
Currently Watching:
My girlfriend and I just finished season 4 of House M.D. (rewatch for me, first watch for them). I remembered what happened in the finale, but I did not remember actually crying at Amber and Wilson's last conversation, and her death. It really is a very good show! Sometimes. Skin Deep was a very bad episode.
Currently Listening:
Accusefive's debut album from 2019 (我肯定在幾百年前就說過愛你) which Wikipedia tells me is called Somewhere In Time, I Love You in English. It reminds me a lot of later Walk the Moon. I think the melodies and the way they use synths sound kind of like What if Nothing. But Chinese. I like it!
Life Status Updates
Finished my internship, went to Anime NYC, finished inking my comic for a contest I want to enter in October (still need to do screentones), finished my latest draft of my Slavic Sapphic Romantasy Novel (62k words now! LMK if you want a link ;)), working on my FTH fic again. Hence the Accusefive listening. I decided to incorporate a music motif into the fic for some unknown reason lmao. I went to a KPot with my friends today! I have to work tomorrow. That's all I got for right now! See you in a few days for my August Reads Roundup, in both more and less detail than this.
