I got my dad to watch DS9 with me, and now he's sending Quark memes to the family Whatsapp group and quoting the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition to his colleagues.

I didn't know I was this influential. With the power of Star Trek, I can change the world.

Monthly Recap - Jan

Read

War and Peace, which I'm like 1/3 of the way through. I'm going to visit my grandparents so should get some good reading done next month, although I might choose some warm weather reads for laying by the pool.

Watched

Dial M for Murder, a really good, not scary Hitchcock ft Grace Kelly and a clever twist.

A lot of Star Trek, we're in deep Star Trek here.

Singles Inferno, Korean dating show on Netflix that's super interesting from a cultural differences perspective (also I'm obsessed with the like viewers panel within the show, shout out to short hair lady, she cracks me up).

The Brutalist. Whew, it was a lot.

The Great Big Tiny Design Challenge on Channel 4, a competition show about decorating a dollhouse that I think was custom made for me in a lab.

Did

Attended: Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, got a last minute return ticket for this and I am so happy I got to see it. Definitely my favorite piece of dance I've ever seen, just so stunning and interesting and sexy and perfect. Also saw The Importance of Being Earnest at the National, very entertaining, great costumes, but not a must see for me.

Played a lot of tennis, partly because Russian took a while to start back up so I had time to attend the Tuesday lessons. But also partly because I'm now in like 4 different tennis WhatsApp groups and played a lot through that!

Had two different dinners that I've been putting off, one with the first of my ex's friends, which was so so good to do. The other was with a new friend that I'm working on making a good friend and this was our first solo hang. I really like her, glad I asked her.

Goals and monthly poll under the cut.

Last Month’s Goals

Played a lot of tennis, especially as my Russian classes took a few weeks to start up again in the new year.

Goals under the cut.

🟧Use all class pass classes: Half tick on this one, didn't end up using that many passes but that was mainly because I was playing so much tennis. Still, it's important to balance tennis with other types of workouts so will aim to do better this month.

☑️Read a book: Giving myself a tick here despite not finishing because I read a normal book's worth of War and Peace (some 450 pages).

☑️New Recipes x2: Accidentally knocked this one out of the park this month, largely because I was delivered an entire Gusto box by mistake. Honestly, was not very impressed with their recipes - I think they were fine and convenient for people who can't cook but as someone who cooks a lot, they weren't always very efficient and could have packed in more flavor in places. Outside of the box, I made kimchi jiggae, chicken pho, and Konjac noodles with peanut sauce and tofu, none of which were great. Been weird about food this month, struggling to think of things I want to eat.

☑️Go to a new museum: The Estorick Collection, a small museum in Islington that features Italian modernist art from approx the 1910s-1970s. Really interesting collection and museum. We happened to go when a tour was on and I highly recommend that; it's an eclectic collection without a lot of big, recognizable names (outside of some excellent Modiglianis) so having the context of a tour is very helpful. It felt like a higher level art history course and was a good reminder that the dominant narrative around the story of art is a massive oversimplification.

☑️Go to an Exhibition: Hew Locke, What Have We Here? at the British Museum. So, so excellent, cannot recommend enough. Locke is an artist whose work interrogates imperialism and colonialism, and this exhibition presents his works alongside objects in the collection. He also provides his witty, personal commentary on the objects chosen on yellow signs that pepper the exhibition. A truly innovative, thought provoking, and beautiful exhibition. This is really one of things museuks with massive, diverse collections like the BM can do better than anywhere else. Go if you can. Also went on a Young Patron's tour of the Medieval and Renaissance galleries at the V&A that was spectacular - the curators were hilarious and the lights going out 10% of the way through added an indescribable je ne sais quo.

☑️Go to a show: check, see above.

🟧Crochet: Better this month, can still improve.

❌Write More: More than last month, still bad.

🟧Lay morning foundation: I've got a good set of things I do in the morning, the issue is starting them at a reasonable time. Room to improve.

☑️Budget: Barely, so ready to be employed again.

❌Memorize a poem: RIP, no. Swear next month.

🟧Russian flashcards: Could still be better, but improvement.

❌Screen time: Latest android update really did my phone in, for almost the whole month I couldn't track screen time which was definitely a bad thing. Tracking is back now, gotta be more on this.

🟧Job prep: Meh, need to do some more, especially now that things are actually moving.

☑️World of Interiors: Read the Dec issue, fun and cool as always. This is a good thing to keep on the list.

☑️ Nutrition: This wasn't explicitly on my list but over the course of the month I started to shift what I eat to be more protein oriented and I've really been liking that. I feel fuller for longer, so planning to keep at it.

Intro Post:

This is my main blog! Stephanie, 31, she/her TME nonbinary, white. TERFs DNI.

Good faith anons will be entertained and appreciated, as I do love discussion, but bigots, bad faith arguers, and people bringing up long dead topics will just be linked to my wishlist and trolled. I would prefer people under 20 do not follow me.

This is where I post about film and television I enjoy, mostly IWTV, MDZS, House, Star Trek, and whatever movie I've seen recently. Subject to change, lol.

I may reblog from these sideblogs:

@colorisbyshe - this is my main, personal blog with updates on my life and thoughts, my taste in music, and will be filled with "miscellaneous" posting.

@finitefantasy - this is my anime, donghua, and video game blog. Dragon Age, Dunmeshi, Naruto (read: Sasunaru), Final Fantasy, No. 6, and... idk random shit.

Other places to find me: twitter, bluesky, and last.fm; mutuals may ask for texting, whatsapp, insta, PSN, letterboxed, goodreads, etc.

All blogs are run on mildly curated, often shuffled queues.

I think Tumblr will like this.

I have met a friend I haven't seen in 14 years, we don't even speak that often, barely enough so I know he has kids or he changed jobs. He told me he'd be in Madrid for work, see if we could meet up. I came to meet with him. We went for a walk and then for lunch. We spoke a lot.

At some point, I remembered he liked rap a lot and I mentioned it. He said he still likes it, even if he doesn't speak about it as much, but he has a group of friends on whatsapp where they comment new songs that come out. He said he only speaks about it with them or else he will bother everyone else. I said I bother people with my hobbies regardless, how at some point I shared a lot of things about Star Trek with my brother, even if my brother doesn't care for it. So he asked me what I liked about Star Trek. And I told him a bit. And then I asked him about some rap he has listened to lately, and he told me a bit. And for a moment, we both shared things we like with each other, even if the other doesn't care much for it. It was a lovely moment.

[mylittleredgirl]

in thirty seconds before the bell signup for smut4smut while @anretc lovingly screamed in my whatsapp notifications i did carefully make sure i was matchable and yet somehow did not request a single solitary star trek.

i did read every additional tag possible last night and got the list of all the nominated pairings in all the series but then my day went sideways anndnddndnd here we are. trekless.

[wanderleave]

Thanks for the tag @thelovelyballroomgeek! Does anyone else listen to interview podcasts and have their answers locked and loaded? Because I uh, definitely don't. (This is a lie. Brett Goldstein, call me.)

Last Song: Raffaella & Hippo Campus - Maps which is a just fine cover but once again the best Maps is the one Ted Leo does in the middle of his Since U Been Gone cover

Currently Watching: I started rewatching Sense8 during Pride so I'm toggling between that and starting Star Trek: Strange New Worlds bc a friend gave me her Paramount Plus password. I'm liking it so far!

Currently Reading: I just started Witch King by Martha Wells and I'm slowly rereading Dark Age by Pierce Brown because the 6th book in the series comes out soon and despite me having a very love hate relationship with it, I'm still gonna read it.

Current Obsession: Honestly tomorrow is the 2 month anniversary and I'm still as into Tears of the Kingdom as I was at 12:03 AM on May 12th when Nintendo finally let me start playing it (per my frantic WhatsApps texts). Am I 1700 words into a fic? Maybe. Am I 60 words into another? Again, maybe! Will they ever see the light of day? Probably not but who knows!

Tagging people recently in my activity so: @allatariel @stoprobbers @beef-a-ronie @ichabodjane @kikilovestosleep
