YOU STAYING HOME FROM WORK OR SCHOOL?

Work: I fucking wish.

School: I already study from home: the only difference is that I'll probably end up being forced to use the webcam/spyware-based proctoring service instead of going to the community college for my final.


IF YOU’RE STAYING HOME, WHO IS THERE WITH YOU?

My parents and brother. They all get to *actually* stay home, the lucky bastards.


ARE YOU A HOMEBODY?

Yes.


AN EVENT THAT YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT GOT CANCELLED?

I'm not sure I had anything planned that qualifies as an "event". I can't go window-shopping/Wi-Fi-mapping anymore? We can't do the HELOC refinancing we were planning on doing this spring now that Brother is laid off and the credit markets are freezing up?


WHAT MOVIES HAVE YOU WATCHED RECENTLY?

I don't really do movies, in general.


WHAT SHOWS ARE YOU WATCHING?

A bit of Doctor Who rewatching.


WHAT MUSIC ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

Mostly the lowest-common-denominator radio station they force me to listen to at work. When I grow tired of my lack of musical autonomy in practice, I've mostly been re-listening to Beneath the Skin.

(I actually *did* listen to Fever Dream, after *less* than four years. There were a few decent songs, but mostly it sounded exactly like the Generic Pop on abovementioned lowest-common-denominator work radio, with absolutely no reason why I should seek them out specifically instead of listening to whatever CHYM FM happens to be playing right now. And I say this as someone who genuinely likes Phil Collins! If *I* think your music is too generic, that's fucking *saying* something!)


WHAT ARE YOU READING?

I've reached the part towards the end of Umineko no Naku Koro ni where they strongly encourage you to work out the mystery yourself, so it's not really a novel right now so much as a puzzle. (I hope at some point I'll be in the mood and have the energy for a puzzle.) I've also been re-reading some Flight Rising lore.

Part of me is like "quarantine is a great time to do that re-read of Luminosity and subsequent first-read of Radiance that you promised yourself and also contrarianarchon you would do someday", but since I *am* trying to study now I don't think my schedule is actually empty enough for...*checks*...~440k words of page-turning. Maybe after my final, before starting on the penultimate course.


WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR SELF CARE?

Dragon capitalism, treadmill jogging, resuming my comfortably rigid diet now that Passover has ended.


Tags (I'll also be pinging you on Tumblr): thedarlingone/maryellencarter, wolffyluna/wolffyluna, contrarianarchon/archonofquandaries, lunartulip/moonlit-tulip, sigmaleph/sigmaleph. As always, tags are merely a loose guideline, and each person reading this is free to choose whether to do this meme or not regardless of whether I have tagged them.
