<p>Unfortunately I haven&rsquo;t been able to exercise much; partly, this is because I haven&rsquo;t been making the time for it, but I also tweaked my right shoulder somehow and it&rsquo;s been quite painful to use in every day tasks. <em>Ring Fit</em> is therefore off the table. The trouble is that I genuinely don&rsquo;t know what I did to it! This week is my last before our holiday break, and I&rsquo;m hoping to get back on the horse over the course of my 16 (!!) days off.</p>
<p><img src="https://cassieland.b-cdn.net/images/2024/12/stoptalking.png" alt="a painting of a black cat, wide eyed, with a speech bubble that reads &ldquo;stop talking&rdquo;"></p>
<p>I briefly contemplated <a href="https://20x200.com/products/stop-talking?variant=10674962884">spending far too much money on a print of Martha Rich&rsquo;s &ldquo;Stop Talking,&rdquo;</a> but I&rsquo;m far too poor and cheap, even though it expertly captures how I feel lately after work (or interacting with anyone).</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been in a strange headspace since turning 30. I feel as though I know myself and the world so much better now, like it&rsquo;s time to stop wasting all <em>my time</em> on the bullshit and focus instead on what&rsquo;s really important to me. I have been reflecting on myself a lot lately, but in a present- and future-oriented way: what is it I want to be doing? What really fucking matters? These questions sound quite existential and they are, but they&rsquo;re also oddly liberating — and it&rsquo;s driving me to read more and (hopefully) write again. It all feels like coming back home after a long trip, taking comfort and finding peace and joy in the known and loved familiar.<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup></p>
<h1 id="reading">Reading</h1>
<p>I&rsquo;m still (re-)reading <em>Pride &amp; Prejudice</em> and I&rsquo;m just as in love with it as ever. I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;s revisionist history on my part, but I feel I understand the humor, the plot, the politic far more this time around — but then, I&rsquo;m always looking back at the past and thinking I&rsquo;ve grown far older and wiser since when perhaps only the former is true.</p>
<h1 id="watching">Watching</h1>
<p>Joe and I finished the <strong><em>Emma</em></strong> mini-series that we started last week; I&rsquo;d seen it before and found it similarly delightful this time around, though I&rsquo;m beginning to doubt my prior assertions that <em>Emma</em> is Austen&rsquo;s work (albeit not my personal favorite). Perhaps a re-read is in order&hellip;</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m also continuing on with <strong><em>Girls</em></strong>; I&rsquo;m actually enjoying it now (still in season one). There&rsquo;s some really funny shit in it, but most of the dramatic beats fall short for me. I find Hannah generally insufferable, Adam I&rsquo;m up and down on, I love what little Shoshanna there is, I&rsquo;m tepid on Jessa, and I like Marnie.</p>
<h1 id="listening">Listening</h1>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://thisishorsegirl.bandcamp.com/track/2468">&ldquo;2468&rdquo; by Horsegirl.</a></strong> A random find while stumbling around Bandcamp, but I&rsquo;m in love.</li>
<li><strong><em>On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System,</em> The Bug Club.</strong> Pleasant listening but a bit humdrum; few standouts for me as there have been on their other albums.</li>
<li><strong><em>Alopecia,</em> WHY?</strong> I&rsquo;ve been listening to &ldquo;Good Friday,&rdquo; mainly, and sampling other tracks here and there for years. For some reason I had a line from &ldquo;These Few Presidents&rdquo; in my head this week — &ldquo;even though I haven&rsquo;t seen you for years, yours is a funeral I&rsquo;d run to from anywhere&rdquo; — and it prompted me to at last listen to the album all the way through. I have since been (figuratively) spinning and shuffling it through the week. I&rsquo;ve not listened to any others of WHY?&rsquo;s albums — I get the impression they&rsquo;re variable in quality — but I may give them a shot.</li>
