Keeping on

Have you heard Sinking Boat by Infinity Song yet?

This song has been on repeat in my head for MONTHS and I'm not complaining. Every time I call my electeds I come close to saying: why should YOU worry about rocking a sinking boat? Rock it already! The goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain, so to speak. I'd like to see YOU WHO ARE INVESTED WITH THIS POWER doing something about it. Anyway! This song is full of soothing excellent harmonies while acknowledging the contemporary increasing societal wreckage and I find it simultaneously motivating and calming. Maybe you'll find something in it, too. Also, please continue to (or start to) call your reps - I've been trying to make 2 calls every day before work or on my lunch hour, leaving messages for both state and federal level officials. I hope you are making your voice heard, too!

Still obsessed with Severance over here. No spoileys of course, but DANG EPISODE 7! Really looking forward to staying up past my bedtime to watch episode 8 tonight.

This winter I restarted playing Stardew Valley. As the weather started getting colder and the urge to hibernate grew stronger, I decided to lean in and start from scratch (have I played this game for hundreds of hours before? Yes, yet somehow the allure of starting fresh was strong) and as of this weekend, I officially reached "Perfection" on Wamps Farm. Now, the idea of perfection is some kind of bullshit, but in the game it has been nice to have goals to strive for, several of which I had never achieved in previous plays. The obsessive nature of Stardew is right up my street, and ever since the original Animal Crossing on GameCube led me to the Harvest Moon-iverse, this kind of game has been my go-to. In Michigan winters, it's just a relief to have a garden to tend and things I can "accomplish" while being a lump on the sofa.
