march? march you say?


i hate the eternal passage of time and my increasingly quick interpretation of it

⋆。𖦹°⭒˚。⋆

i promise you there was movement in the physical world, even though we’re still sitting at 477. i read 2 books, one of which was new, then i got rid of 2 books, then i added 2 books.

this may move again because i have been contemplating doing a more thorough purge on my manga side. i have copies of manga i don’t really need anymore (i’m sakamoto, for instance, i never picked up the series again). my weakness for books at the library is severely kneecapping the books at home.

i have 4 comics and 3 books left from the library. my reading time has lessened because of mr. jake up there in the header (and my year goal of beating several longer games).

i am also reading longer books than i had been at the start of the year so my reading has slowed significantly…

i have been trying to keep up with everything i watch but i am still behind in that regard as well, partly because 2 of the anime series are simulcast. i have also excavated star trek tos season 1 from the post mines even though it is an incomplete post. we are approaching the end of the second season and i realized i wasn’t combining them all,,,

i plan on getting back on to light novels once i catch up to what i borrowed from the library. i really want to read the apothecary diaries, among others, so it’s driving me batty that i’m keeping on track and reading one book at a time.

i predict this will be a slow month unless i get an extra few hours in the day. hopefully i will have beaten the sims settlement 2 mod and will review that when it’s done. i truly like it so far, mostly because of jake, but also because i can watch my settlements change while combining it with other mods to make it juuuust right.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
