Jul. 4th, 2020 05:38 amI was a lump yesterday. Couldn't read slush, couldn't write, couldn't anything, so I decided to let it go.
I re-read THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS by Karen Lord, a heck of a comfort read. In many ways it reminds me of the various manhwas I've been reading: its episodic storytelling, the variety of side characters, the slice-of-life feel to it that foregrounds a story which has a very complicated background. There're a lot of adorable moments, quite a bit of droll humor, and some good moments of high drama.
It's nice to be reading some longform text which I am not supposed to be judging or fixing.
Today May and I went to the Bird Park. I've never been before! We headed out early--I specially woke up at 8 for it! And I did it! We got there around 10-ish, walked around until almost noon, had lunch near the KTM station and went home. I read the rest of the afternoon.
Will start a new embroidery project this weekend! It looks like a Chinese calligraphy painting of some mountains and I'm curious to see whether I can replicate the effect with just one thread colour. Probably not but we'll see!
