Watching: Season 2 of Jane the Virgin. I said to a friend that my favorite character was Rogelio, and he said "Rogelio is my second-favorite character after the narrator," and I realized, yes, same here. Also watching Jon Bois's sports history/analysis videos which are, among other things, worth watching as vidding experiments.

Listening: re-listening to Cabin Pressure for pleasure, and listening to Pete Seeger stuff like "Tomorrow Is A Highway" for energy, and to the Tron: Legacy soundtrack for work background music. Also, MetaFilter Music just led me to a fun poppy synth song, "You're So Dangerous", that is now stuck in my head.

Reading: I'm partway through, like, ten books. I'm reading a lot of MetaFilter, mostly through the Popular Posts/Comments page, and Twitter, and I'm reading my Dreamwidth reading page -- sometimes I go to Dreamwidth Latest Things to find new people to subscribe to. Also I'm rereading Maureen McHugh's China Mountain Zhang again. I love that book. The interiority, the attention to the way people act when they're trying to be more decisive than they feel, the compassion, just so good.

CMZ just gets better each time I read it.

I remember learning that McHugh was writing video games now, but her site is coy about it. Have you ever played one of her games?

No I haven't played any of her games! I shall have to keep an eye out.
