Reading
Lately I’ve been reading lots of poems—I especially enjoyed “On the Disadvantages of Central Heating” and its concreteness. I’ve also been reading Rosewater, a science fiction novel set in Nigeria. I can’t decide if I like it or not—I like the premise and worldbuilding, but can’t say for certain if I enjoy the writing itself.
I’ve also been reading a lot for school, of course. That’s to be expected as an English major. My favorite this semester has been Swastika Night, which is a deeply necessary read.
Watching
Jack and I have been watching Hello Tomorrow! on Apple TV. I really like the vintage space age aesthetics.
On my own, I’ve been watching through Inuyasha. It’s something I can watch to wind down after the crazy long days. My last chronic illness flareup had me watching three hours straight.

Writing
Other than academic writing (I’m presenting a paper this week—as is the boy—pray for us), I’ve been focusing on poetry for one of my classes as well as for my thesis. Here’s a piece I wrote for my science fiction class:
Anyway, all is well, life is full of things to explore, and I am glad to be able to write.
Until next time.
Simply stunning as always
(The way I opened this new-post-notification so fast!!) Love this collection -- especially the poem and the photography!
