March 2026

★ I went to the gym 13 times. I took a barbell workshop! So now I can't be afraid of the barbell anymore and can work on my deadlifts in earnest.

★ I read 4 books.

Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I expected more, honestly!
Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things by Randy Frost. I own this book and have probably read it 4 times over the past 10 years. I think its really interesting but also think its time to let it go, so it will be making it's way to a little free library to find a new home.
Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV by Emily Nussbaum. This book has radicalized me against reality tv and I've started going on diatribes in person about how its part of the downfall of society. I'm fun at parties. (I have not been to any parties lately.)
Our Bodies Ourselves. DNFed and tossed in the recycling bin because the 2005 edition's menopause information was so out of date that I thought it was actively harmful for someone else to read.

★ I watched 3 movies.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Holds up.
Austin Powers in Goldmember. Beyonce's best work. Not everyone else's.
Don't Worry Darling. I thought I had waited long enough that this wouldn't be overshadowed by all of the drama I heard about filming. I didn't.

★ I finished 0 crafts or personal projects.

I've started another damn sweater.

★ I finished 0 video games.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a big game. I am still having fun.

I saw Lights again! I love her.
