Today, I picked up A Closed and Common Orbit from the library. It’s the second book in Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series. I absolutely loved the first book, so I’m excited to dive back into this universe. Plus, it’ll be a nice change of pace to read from a physical book instead of a screen!

I was thrilled to discover that the second season of Love Village is now available on Netflix! I absolutely loved the first season. While I’m not entirely sure how scripted this reality show might be, it’s incredibly entertaining. Plus, it’s a great way for me to practice my Japanese listening skills.

“Anna and Marnie” Austin, 2024

My friend and I went to the theater tonight to watch When Marnie Was There. I remember thinking it was very good, but now I’d rate it as “excellent.” Such an emotional film… it might even be one of my favorite Ghibli movies now!

I’m now practicing the song “Fine On The Outside” which is a strumming song, and something I haven’t really played before. Fun!
