I know many people use Wednesday as a regular "post to Dreamwidth about what media you're experiencing" day. I don't necessarily intend to keep up that tradition, but this week I add my voice to the multitude.
Reading: I just finished Phyllis Ann Karr's At Amberleaf Fair which I found via a Jo Walton list of books in which no bad things happen. Indeed it is very low-stakes compared to a lot of fantasy! Leonard heard me describe it and suggested the adjective "cozy". Maybe! It's a short and gentle read, and I enjoyed it in ways that reminded me of the bits of the Steerswoman series where Rowan spends time learning about, like, the Outskirters. Also I have been attempting to close tabs which means reading short speculative fiction and in some cases liking it well enough to bookmark it as a recommendation.
Listening: I've been listening to radio shows and podcasts that play lots of music, like my friend Mike's show on his old college radio station, this chill KEXP mix that reminds me of "Music from the Hearts of Space," and BBC Introducing Mixtape. RIVVRS's "Run" in this episode reminded me of Guster's "Center of Attention".

skygiants is, the National Theatre and Shows Must Go On plays. This past weekend Leonard and I decided to skip The Sound of Music because I didn't want to feel rushed trying to watch that and do WisCon. And we got about 25 minutes into A Streetcar Named Desire (I've seen a production before, he hasn't) and stopped and will not finish; I don't want to have to deal with watching Blanche duBois right now.
Playing: Just Animal Crossing, still. Less in the past few days because of WisCon and work. I wonder what the next big time-limited thing will be.
