I haven't done a media update in weeks! Here's what I've been watching and reading.
Reading( It didn't feel like a lot when I started, but cutting for length anyway. )Kdramas( This always felt like a lot. )Other TV( There's quite a lot here, too. )Guardian/FandomWishliiiiiiist! It went so well. Belated hooray for everyone and all the treats! :D
Perusing the Yuletide tagset was an object lesson in "other people's character preferences are not my character preferences, and that's okay." Still, I have a bunch of things to potentially treat if I can get into gear.
FilmsGrace: a prayer for peace, a film about Aotearoa / New Zealand artist Robin White. Beautiful and arty, and I had trouble staying awake. (I'm not great at maintaining attention when there's no dialogue.)
Audio stuffA handful of eps of

some of the art I've been trying out via Youtube instructional videos for kids. (I'm so happy with how the eyes came out on the kitten-dragon.) (Youtube art videos for kids are excellent, btw! I've drawn a fox, a llama, an owl, a lemur, another dragon, a unicorn mer-red-panda, and a few other things, and they always turn out pleasingly, despite my zero skill level. I'm thinking of investing in a set of coloured pencils for grown-ups, but for now I'm enjoying the tin of miniature ones

cyphomandra sent me before my hysterectomy and a few others left over from when I was five. :-)
Life/health/mental state thingsOver the last few months, I've noticed more and more long silver hairs in my house. Hmph.
Good thingsThe Guardian Slo-Mo Rewatch on
sid_guardian. Guardian fandom generally. Yuletide. Podfic and audiobooks and Kdramas and libraries. The forecast for tomorrow is good. Kdramas. We went to an art exhibition opening yesterday evening, and it was great and made me want to make more things. Writers' Hour.
