I am currently participating in a mass rewatch of The Umbrella Academy on Tumblr! It is super fun and I've met a few cool folks!

Last night's episode (3x01) had Gerry Cinnamon's song Sometimes in it & I am obsessed. ("I roam the concrete jungle hunting idiots for sport" ahhh! So many good lines!) It'll be on repeat until further notice. Since it starts with the ring of a bell, I might use it as my alarm tone this upcoming week, maybe that'll kick me out of bed faster.

Tonight is the final match of the Women's Euro 2025. Yay football! (I don't like the word 'soccer' much tbh.) Except not really, because I am an opportunist who's only a fan when international championships happen lol. Germany fought valiantly, but lost to Spain last Wednesday. Close to midnight I got so stressed that I was folding laundry in between watching through my fingers. Not sure whom I'm rooting for tonight, maybe Spain?

Also: women's football is so much more exciting than men's. There, I said it. Why? Because there's not some person lying theatrically on the ground, pretending to have been the victim of a dastardly foul, every 2 minutes.

I mostly knit these days-- many pairs of socks, to procrastinate on my real project, an almost-finished sweater; yes, it is getting ridiculous-- but I've just started crocheting another Secret Paths shawl from random cotton yarn I found in my stash. This is the pattern that I obsessively crocheted 4 shawls of last summer. I love it so much!

At this moment in time, I have... 7 active Umbrella Academy fanfic WIPs. This is a whole-ass Situation. I mean, look at this:

This upcoming week I don't have that much to do besides regular stuff, sooo I might try to finish at least one of these. (Please, future me, I implore you.)

In other news, The Move That Will Not End, Yes It Goes On And On, My Friend, is... still going! But my roommate and I are putting in work whenever we can & I've built-- and half-filled-- a first bookshelf in my room. Here's a picture. Yay! Progress!
