i am stealing this game from hatch at memotech (all links below the post). if you're reading this and want to do it - please do! and tell me about it (email's on the homepage). who are you??
last song - "we carry eden" by son of chi, on john allen's show on wfmu.org. someone on mastodon recommended the show for its jazz selection. i can't yet say anything about the talky bits, but i do enjoy the music. love that as one more reason to not visit youtube.
last movie - i don't really watch movies! it would probably be something like lord of the rings when we did last year's winter rewatch? not sure.
last tv show - watching star trek: the next generation with partner. it's my first time! i tried watching the original series once but it did not want to go. enjoying this one so far, although we're still early in season one.
last book - last finished book was "we solve murders" by richard osman. then i tried but did not finish "a discovery of witches" by deborah harkness. currently reading "virgin suicides" by jeffrey eugenides.
favorite color - one does not simply have a favorite color. recently i'm fond of the combination of green, pink, white and grey.
spicy, sweet, or savory - used to be predominantly sweet, but recently savory's getting up there.
current obsession - at this very moment i'm too physically tired to call anything an obsession. i was very into renewed mandolin practice until it broke. since then i'm back to my "always" obsession - tarot. currently figuring out how to make better use of decks i have some umbrage with. like - can i make a majors and courts (and aces) only deck from the one that has kind of shitty pips? there's the old method of laying out cards in a pile until you reach a major, then you have a spread of majors to read with supplemental material underneath if you feel like looking into it? i've been laying this out in two rows - bottom row is for the piles of minors, top row is for the single card majors (or perhaps also courts and aces?) works are in progress, inspired by windvexer on tumblr.
last search - i don't know how people know this stuff? i do search daily for some pretty, seasonal nature photos or cozy interiors to exchange with my mom for her facebook boomer memes/greeting cards.
looking forward to - mandolin coming back from the luthier. end of hot days, please. new collage fodder (visit thrift shop?) maybe a weekend nature or museum adventure!
