...Provided I can find the time:

+ Play Delectatio Morosa* - I downloaded it and got it to run, so it's just a matter of fitting it in somewhere
+ And rewatch Conclave while I'm at it, yeah. Might need to wait a while tho', there's several holds at the library.
+ ...And maybe make some icons while I'm at it, even if I might not use them.
+ Finish and post some fics. I have a few that're close to completion, hooray.
+ Make an awesome broccoli and tofu recipe that I came across in a book recently
+ Relax a little. Chill out. Man, I am so bad at that. :V

The resolution is to read 50 books this year. I've divided them up into categories/sub-goals.
( Reading list 2023 )

Resolutions for 2022. As usual, I'm going to try to keep my goals minimal and realistic. :D Everything on here is stuff that I would be doing anyway, so having a list helps me stay a bit more organized.

( Resolutions for 2022 )

Someone recced the drama Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty (thread) and not going to lie, that looks like something I'd be into. Historical setting + mystery investigation = yes!!! Doubly so if there are cool costumes, like in this case.

I see that it's available on Viki. I'll have to see if I can find time to watch it. There are 48 episodes, so while it's quite an investment, it's still not as much as NiF or ROP.

[Edit] Found another rec here. I really should check it out....

Where the heck did September go? Events for October - December period under the cut.

Upcoming fandom dates and ongoing projects for April/May/June period!

There are so many series that I want to watch/rewatch some time soon - "some time soon" meaning "in the next few months or so, I guess".

Rewatches:
+ Vatican Miracle Examiner - I marathoned this while tipsy last New Years and I'm really due for another go. Maybe I'll get some new fic ideas? :D This series sure is a wild ride, though.
+ Yuri on Ice - I think it might do me good to go through this one again. It's such a light and happy show. Plus, I'm kind of in a ~figure skating~ mood, lately.
+ Anno 1790 - I've watched this series through at least three times but... it's been a while, I'm due to give it a go again. Love the characters, love the setting, I just really like this series a whole lot. Though I guess I should see if I can find any other Scandinavian historical dramas that I'll like just as much; I'm sure there are some out there.
+ Nirvana in Fire - 54 episodes is A Lot to go through, buuuut it'd be worth it, considering the series is so good and I notice new things every time I go through it. Plus, well - it's visually stunning (excluding a few silly CGI bits).

Didn't finish, want to complete:
+ Rose of Versailles - A classic! What happened here was that I started watching it, but then lost access after it was removed from the service I was using to stream it. So, I bought the discs, but haven't had time to get around to it.
+ The Terror - I was so excited for this series, since I'm a nerd for the Franklin expedition and a sucker for anything set in the arctic, but I somehow never got around to watching the damn thing. I have the episodes purchased, but they're only watchable on a device I don't usually use (my main computer can't run them), so that's a big reason why I haven't seen it yet. But I'll watch it! Eventually! [WATCHED Jan 16 2019]
+ Di Wang Gong Lue - I'm pretty sure I never got around to watching the last episode of this. What the heck?

Haven't seen yet:
+ The Haunting of Hill House series - Heard mixed reviews about this one. I'm curious! [WATCHED as of Dec 15/2018]
+ Fortitude - Crime series set in the arctic? Okay, yeah, I'm there. :D [WATCHED as of Dec 24/2018]
+ The Rain - Post-apocalyptic Scandinavia? Sounds good to me! I've heard some people mention that it reminds them of prologue-era SSSS.
+ Rise of Phoenixes - Chinese costume drama; I don't really know anything else about it. My mom was glued to the screen for this one, and while we don't always share taste, the way she couldn't stop watching it reminded me of how I reacted to NiF. Worth a try, maybe? (Or perhaps I'll just enjoy some eye candy.)
+ The Exorcist series - Well, I like the film, and I keep hearing that the series is pretty damn good. I'll give it a go eventually! [WATCHED as of Feb 24/2019]

Wow, that's a lot. Likelihood that I'll get around to covering all of this is small. However, considering how much knitting I plan to be doing, maybe I'll watch more than I usually would. It's easier for me to watch things when I have something to do with my hands, otherwise I get so bored, even if the story is engaging.

Hmmm...

( Self-indulgent stuff I want to write in the near future )

Eugh, today is... off to a mediocre start. Lovely.

Can I get a do-over?

...Okay. You know what. I figure, as long as I do the basic chores, I'll consider it a win. No need to actually, like. Do stuff today. Goddamn.
