stonepicnicking_okapiWhat's ahead: May is the Merry Month of Masturbation! (![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
mmom) I don't think I can manage 31 masturbating fics/ficlets. But here there may be drabbles.
Viewing: I ended up watching the film Knives Out and really liked it. It's so very, very rare that there are ever modern mystery films that are not adaptations of books, so you almost always know who did it. And this was a brand new story with actual clues and fair play and very old fashioned. It was lovely.
I also watched The Pale Horse, which, yeah, is one of the above adaptations; when I have a new set of library request next month, I am going to re-read it because I really don't think it went like that :/
I also re-watched Good Omens which always makes me happy. I love Crowley.

April Word Count: 24,523
Writing: 3 fics for Dick or Treat [2 of which were also for my Jeeves bingo]
The Magic Flute
18 poems featuring 15 different poetic forms [12 of which were for the GYWO Yahtzee picture prompts]
My great disappointment is not making much progress on my Fandom for Oz fic. I have about 1k in a WIP file. I also wrote a prequel fic in the AU (the third of the Dick or Treat fics) but I'd like to be much, much further along (or, like, you know, done). I have a plot but no cool details. Yet.
My minor disappointment is not doing enough poetry reading for National Poetry Month. But I remind myself it is always Poetry Month in a poet's heart, so I will just keep going and damn the calendar.
Personal: Just a general sense of disappointment in myself. Still fat. Still slow and rather sloppy on many fronts. I only managed to wake up early 1 morning this month. I feel like so much progress was lost on that, and I haven't been able to reclaim it. I have thought about cutting (and I finally bought new supplies on Monday) but have not yet succumbed.
Minor is doing online learning in earnest now, so there's no more pressure to think up his curricula but increased pressure to get him to stay on task and keep up with the assignments and various meetings. But I took a walk with him one day and he admitted to being the victim of bullying (back in February) which I didn't know anything about. And I also found out that sometimes he just mouths the words in chorus (because he's tired of repeating the song?!). So I am discovering (every day, or so it seems) disturbing things I didn't know about him.
Minisculus is still a cutie. And the flat is clean. And I went to 3 stores on Monday (with mask and gloves on) and got supplies for at least 2 weeks (I hope).
