Thank you kind anon for the paid time ♥

Life updates:

I watched a local showing of A Chorus Line, which ends my streak of pre-booked outside/leisure time. Now I'm back to the hermit life.

We had one last cold surge from the northeast monsoon, as cold as 23C at daytime. Weather is warming up now but still pleasantly cool.

Currently groupwatching the How Dare You!? cdrama. We did try the donghua, but the Youtube subs were MTL and unbearable. (I vaguely recall iQiyi having human-translated subs? But we can't be bothered to subscribe just for that, so.) I guess it worked out because the cdrama pacing and visuals have been much more enjoyable while paying homage to the donghua.

I set up a new Feedly account because I miss reading old-school blogs (outside of Dreamwidth)! If anyone has any blog/Substack recs, I'd love to hear them. I've resubscribed to Kottke, Cup of Jo, and The Marginalist (formerly Brainpickings) because it comforts me to see old blogs still going strong.

The narra tree across the street has begun practicing how to bloom. So far it's just a few flowers here and there which I think has been attracting orioles (I usually just hear them flying around, now I can see them). Summer is coming.

I picked up some sort of Detective Di game because it was on sale for $2 on the Switch store and am enjoying it so far. Here we have Detective Di having a Mei Changsu moment.

Current events, local and international, continue to be very bleak, I hope everyone is doing well.
