Crafts and games
Feb. 13th, 2022 08:26 pm
Today my roommate and I went to a little outdoor craft fair. It was very nice! The weather was beautiful--sunny and mostly clear and a bit windy, 10/10! I ended up buying a few scrap lengths of a beautiful flower-patterned denim fabric. No idea what I'll use them for, but I'm sure I'll think of something. :p
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is so, so fucking good. I wouldn't say I love it more than its predecessor Human Revolution, just because HR has a super special place in my heart--but omg I adore it. The setting is stunningly crafted--I'm a huge fan of the mixture of old buildings and sci-fi elements. I'd heard Prague was beautiful (I hope to visit the city one day!) but if they modeled even part of it after the real thing--wow. All those little cobblestone alleys and narrow plazas and winding roads!! *heart eyes* Plus, the guy whose walkthrough I'm watching keeps showing me new nooks and crannies of the city that I hadn't realized were there. I was a little doubtful about the European setting at first, but I guess they were going for exactly that blend of old world/new world that I've now ended up feeling so fond of.
The Winter Olympics continue to be fun to watch! I've been talking about them to my godmother & it's so lovely to get in some Swedish practice. The other day I recorded a very awkward video for her in which I showed her my Olympics knitting project--a sweater which I'll only work on when I watch the games. :D She sent me voice messages to give me some Swedish to listen to, which was so lovely! I hope we'll manage to schedule a proper phone call soon. Omg anxiety, but I know she doesn't mind when I make mistakes. She's fluent in German, so we can always settle on that when my Swedish fails me.
I would like to knit faster/more, but I've had to be careful not to overdo it. All it takes for my wrists to start hurting is a little too much knitting these days. :/ It's frustrating, but I really don't want this issue to turn into even more of a chronic thing than it already is. I might have to go back to the doctor to get the problem re-assessed.
I think spring is finally approaching! I cannot wait for sunnier, warmer days, you guys. I'm so ready to go to a local park and write, or knit, and take even more walks and get some precious vitamin D.
To Do list for next week:
