#with every non-tennis post i become easier to identify by those who know me

[alacants]

thank you @bluespring864 for the tag! <3

last song listened to - if you caught me during unwind-after-work-hour it would have been some soothing choral harmonies. but since you did not it's "weeds" by marina & the diamonds. which is off my. my felifer playlist. leave me alone.

last movie watched - i can't actually remember which is a bad sign. yikes. uh well in two days it will be wickWAIT it was twisters. fun disaster-adventure, good jokes, good chemistry, unfortunately i could not turn off the part of my brain observing just how precisely the politics were gauged lmfao. bet the box office was incredible in austin-houston-dallas.

currently watching - just finished the latest bake off. watched the first couple episodes of the bureau with my dad when i was home in nov and unfortunately i have a huge weakness for spy plots and will be compelled to finish it. no sports which is weird… at one point in my life i would have reliably been watching football (soccer) this time of year but we're still on a break. (due to family holidays i will not be watching jpn fs nationals although i will be eagerly following the results.)

currently reading - one of those people who is always reading six books at once. atm the active pile consists of: 

sam anderson, boom town - six years after everyone else yeah yeah. it's really good tho. also, as a hereditary sonics partisan, painful. lol.

kim stanley robinson, icehenge - still in my active pile even though what actually happened is i read the first half in one afternoon eight months ago and then the temperature rose. it is very aligned to my interests though (unreliable narrators, historiography, memory, literary constructions of alexandria) so i intend to finish it.

freya marske, a restless truth - as much as i enjoyed the author's let's say unofficial work, her first novel was pretty bumpy in the ways one would expect from the pro transition. looking forward to seeing if #2 and #3 improve on this or… not.

elizabeth howard, marking time - burned through the light years in two days, now about to watch the other shoe drop. if you google this do not be misled by the cozy marketing lmao. don't take my word for it, take hilary mantel's.

miura shion, shumi ja nainda (not just a hobby) - slowly and laboriously, but. i am reading it. this is award-winning literary novelist miura shion's collection of essays about (checks notes) her bl fixation. and let me tell you she was NOT toning it down for the normies, essay #1 is just several pages of her banging on the table shouting WE NEED MORE SWITCHES IN BL and explaining the appeal of her 90s cop show blorbo. (miura shion also wrote run with the wind/kaze ga tsuyoku fuiteru. if you were ever curious where that was coming from.)

current obsession - well… tennis does seem to be on the upswing doesn't it.

also one of those boring people who slither out of their tagging obligations like oh if you want to do it please do it. well!! if you want to do it!!! pretend i tagged you AND feel free to say thanks user alacants for tagging me. <3
