The shortest month is over.
Nothing much happened.
At least I no longer need to visit my dentist. Hopefully. Not until the next check-up in 5 months or so. And it looks like perimenopause is playing tricks with my teeth (and not just with them). Yay. Plus the weather, unnaturally warm for this time of the year, is making it hard for everyone.
I wrote a few more hint fictions this month. I’m not sure how many; I wrote them whenever inspiration hit, which was while I was reading some books by Neil Gaiman.
I should write more.
And speaking of reading…
Currently reading: Illuminations by T. Kingfisher. I’m not sure why this one isn’t among the books for kids, since it’s very obviously a book for kids. Oh, well, I’m enjoying it either way, it’s a good (and fun, and magical, and adventurous) book.
Recently read: The Futurological Congress and Peace on Earth by Stanislaw Lem (Polish science fiction, lots of really good ideas, lots of humor, but the style didn’t suit me), T by Victor Pelevin (I loved it, zen, the dreadful fate of writers, what’s real and what isn’t, what can we do about it, lots of philosophy and lots of action and this brief description is not doing this book any justice, go on and read it), The Galveston Diet by Mary Claire Haver (could be really useful, if only I made myself stick to it), Trigger Warning, The Sleeper and the Spindle (loved it!), Fragile Things and Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman (I liked some stories better, some not so much, but overall, I’m glad I read all of them), Perfektni perfekt by Ilija Bakić (an interesting experimental novel written 30 years ago and published recently), The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss (silly and fun), The Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler (wonderful sci-fi with some very satisfying moments, loved it), Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire (the next instalment of Wayward Children, love the series), What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher (I have yet to read a book of hers that I don’t like), Satan Loves You by Grady Hendrix (hilarious and totally insane; not for the easily offended, because they’re guaranteed to be offended), and Sveto i svetogrÄ‘e u postsekularnoj Srbiji by Danica Igrutinović (essays on the sacred and the blasphemous in postsecular Serbia, really good stuff, well thought-out, and with well-placed stings).
Yeah, it was a good month for reading, though it left me feeling a bit drained.
Currently watching: Doom Patrol, season 4. As fun as usual.
Recently watched: a cat documentary. Another one is waiting for me.
Currently working on: I should be writing. Now, if only I could manage to stay awake…
See ya next time!
