And I have the added bonus of hearing the Hennepin County curfew siren go off at 9:00 every night
First Wednesday of the month is also when Breadsmith sells their chocolate cherry bread, and it's worth sirens to remember.

I'm watching black sails for the first time, and I just finished episode 2.09. Goddamn. GodDAMN.
I did not see that coming.
I'm so.
Omg season 2 finale now.
Not in order that I actually read them this year, and I think I might be missing a few. I read mostly library Kindle books this year, and I suspect I missed a few that I read in physical form. I spent a lot of this year, proportionally, reading either Animorphs or The Witcher books, and I declare it a good use of my quarantine reading.
I didn’t separate out physical books from Kindle this year, but re-reads have an asterisk, and there’s reviews for stuff I found worth highlighting.
Mostly, looking back at this list, I remember reading most of the Animorphs during a dark phase in my daughter’s sleep journey, where I would sit in a dark room and rock her for literally a few hours a night, between bedtime and middle of the night wakings. We did sleep training, and I am very pleased to have finished my 2020 reading in my own bed, with my daughter asleep in hers. 2020 had a few wins!
I don’t want to jinx things, but you know how everyone wants to live on a commune with their friends? It looks like we’re buying a fancy house on 3 acres with another couple and living the dream. It’s not a farm commune, but it is a stunningly gorgeous house and we’re super excited to share it with friends and raise our kids together and live ten minutes from our other friends.

I hate that I fully understand this
tumblr’s collective composure was hanging on by a single fucking thread and it was supernatural of all things that got out the scissors
is anyone surprised
do they still do it? does the supernatural fandom still have gif to offer in this trying times?
I shall chant.
Supernatural
Supernatural
Supernatural
Ask and you shall receive
…ngl it’s weirdly comforting to know y'all still have a gif for everything. Thanks.
this is the first time in years that tumblr has felt organic. No I will not elaborate
None election with left destiel
@semperama tagged me in 10 books I’m planning to read this year. Fun! A lot of these are things sitting on my Libby Hold list.
Ooh. I haven’t been on tumblr much, obviously, but I was looking back at what I have posted, and at least I’m making progress on books! I read the first five books on this list and loved all of them -- Memory called Empire and Priory of the Orange Tree were both especially awesome, though Priory had some odd pacing issues at the end, imo. Still worth it. The Witcher series is fun, and I’ve read both the short story collections and the first novel, just starting the second.
And I finished my Animorphs re-read! What a trip! They hold up shockingly well, though the pop culture references are adorably 90s. I don’t feel like they get enough credit for really being ahead of the game in the semi-post-apocalyptic-kids-fighting-for-their-lives YA book category. Talk about the impact of war, and Animorphs was doing cool stuff way before Suzanne Collins came along.
It turns out that I very much want to be a wild woman with my baby tied to my back while I garden and tend my house and yard, but in reality it’s stinking hot outside and there are mosquitoes and my child has irrationally long arms that she will thrust into anything dirty/spiny/sharp/hot that she can reach, which is somehow everything.
How are her arms so long? She is still a baby! I can tell because she has no sense about the things she wants to stick her hands into!
I just remembered that Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes album exists and now I am wallowing in adolescent angst nostalgia. I don’t think I ever actually deserved or even understood this album, but damn is it A Mood for being 14 and Catholic and maybe gay and definitely misunderstood and just kind of feral.

So I wanted to buy more locally, but it turns out that a pandemic is a great motivator. Thanks to shortages in the grocery store, I now have a subscription service with a local coffee roaster, a giant bag of flour from a local miller, and all our beer is being delivered by local breweries.
In these times of turmoil, I have succumbed to the allure of cute animals and farming. Be my Animal Crossing NH friend! 8352-4370-9431
