A of all, tremendous! That sounds very very fun and lovely to read.

B of all, I'm doing a readthrough of my own writing project (of the last two years!) before I send it to my friends. What I *should* be doing is graduate research.

graduate research: bad, hard

re-reading the stuff you wrote and saying "oh ho!!!" while rubbing your hands together like a little raccoon: good, fun

Who doesn't love art forgery?

My position is summed up thusly:

I've decided to get super into sewing, because the clothes I want simply don't exist. I've never sewn before.

A of all I would love that it sounds like a whole vibe please inject art thief content directly into my veins thank you

B of all, wedding planning/color picking is my main distraction of late but idk if that counts cause that does also very much have a deadline, just not as near a deadline as the other things I’m supposed to be doing (ie research and paper writing and writing a talk that I’m giving in one month)

A) Absolutely on board for that bonus content; I look forward to reading it!

B) Crossword puzzles. I have an NYT puzzle-a-day calendar which I hadn't picked up since August. Last week I looked at it again and calculated that I'd need to do 4/day to finish by the end of the year. I just checked again, and now I'm down to needing just 3/day, cause I've done so many extra. I've also gotten like five hours of sleep each of the last seven nights, so...oops?

OK a of all I want to read that story so yes I accept the offer

b of all (this is a construction I also use and my girlfriend thinks it's cute and now I'm like... did I cop this from Mollyhall Ofgeography??) the thing I am obsessed with currently is combing through my bestie's wedding photos for any in which I i) appear ii) look acceptable. this has taken me from activities both recreational and professional so far (there are a LOT of photos.)

Late to the party but I'll read anything you write.

Current obsession: playing Cult of the Lamb on xBox and reading everything written by a self pub author who does really good stories mixed with poly/kinky smut.

What I should be working on: either finishing the home reno I've spent the last THREE YEARS on (I am in SO FAR over my head, the price on this place should have been a dead giveaway but it's just so gorgeous) or reteaching myself all the coding I paid to learn just before pandemic and then lost to long COVID so that I can get a damn job and stop coasting on survivor's SSI.
