What are you currently reading/watching/etc?

Reading Atomic Habits, the first chapter was information on the way I perceive things.

The Emperor Charlemagne by ER Chamberlin, so far it's a good history read.

I am reading the Animorphs visual novel. Pretty good.

Just finished what there is of season 5 of My Hero Academia. It's so good. Tomorrow (or technically later today but I digress) I'm getting down to business and blitzing through chapters 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, the final stretch of Verdant Wind... wish me luck.

Last night I finished reading That Hideous Strength, and with it the entirety of The Space Trilogy. :) Next up: The Lord of the Rings. Which is cooler than Lord of the Flies.

Watching: I'm trying to do something of a Canada theme for the week, so I've been watching two comedy series set in Canada/with Canadian roots of some kind: Trailer Park Boys and Schitt's Creek. Outside of that theme I've just watched the three available episodes of The Celebrity Dating Game and I think it's going to be a guilty pleasure - honestly decided to start tuning in because of a big ol' crush on Zooey Deschanel, but it's fairly entertaining and I find it refreshing that it's not always heterosexual matches being made ^note Carson Kressley had to pick between three guys, Demi Burnett picked between two women and a man.

Reading: Jenny Lawson - Broken (In The Best Possible Way). Just started on this one. I've read one of her other books and it was pretty funny, this one seems like it's going to delve more into mental health issues than I remember the other book doing, but the humor is still there.

Started Hunter × Hunter tonight! I'm just about to start episode 4 and I'm loving it!

That is a good show. :)

Season 1 of Babylon 5. I bought the DVD-box, as I had seen several late episodes during its original run, enjoyed the TV-movies and I even liked what Crusade had to offer, before it got ruined and cancelled. While my exposure to Babylon 5 had been a bit limited, I am a big fan of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which is my favourite of all the Star Treks. Besides remembering that B5 was enjoyable I also wanted to see what similarities and differences there are between it and DS 9, having heard that DS 9 is at least partly inspired by JMS' original pitch. I'm almost done with season 1 now and I really like the show, because it is a very solid sci-fi series already from the get-go.

I'm getting comics in every few months, when it's a continued storyline, I forget what happened before so I create a backlog for myself. This time it's Platinum End.

im watching rick and morty when does he turn into a pickle

I have been listening to MC music, and I have been reading Donald Pocket as well. Plus, I am gonna read some Lucky Luke and Asterix.

Currently reading

-Return of the king

-Wrath of Empire

-Reality dysfunction

- Caliban's War

I just finished Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind.

I'm reading a horror manga called Uzumaki and a bunch of Life is Strange comic books.

I'm hoping to pick up The Great Gatsby, Farenheit 451, Anthem, and Nineteen-Eighty-sci fi novel you were supposed to read in high school but never did, soon.

I have been reading the Hugin & Munin books from Gyldendal. My mind got really clear and I calmed for some reason. I have also reread some Pokémon Adventures to cope with my anxiety.

Funyn Huginn and Muginn have come up a lot in my recent nerd obsessions - RWBY, Certain M Agical Index, Marvel comics.

Kentaro Miura’s Berserk. This is the second time I’ve tried reading it. It’s been a year since the first time and maybe something in me has changed but I’m really liking it this time. Miura’s art is great but he doesn’t seem to understand comics.

Otherwise, I’m loving this oversized hardcover by Dark Horse. It’s so fancy.

The Lord of the Rings. I'm almost done with The Fellowship of the Ring. :)

I've started watching Yu-Gi-Oh GX on Hulu. Saw a bunch of clips of the anime out of context on youtube and eventually, I caved. No matter how hard you try, you are gonna get Chazzed.

On the video games front, I bought Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth for the Switch a couple of days ago and have been playing that nonstop. It took me too late to realize that, unlike a lot of other games on the platform, the game keeps running even as the console is in sleep mode, which led to some extra play time being added up until I realized what was going on.

I haven't watched it yet, but I've been trying to find ways to watch Mahoromatic. However, as I've come to learn about a lot of older anime (especially seinen rom-coms,) no one cares enough about the show anymore to purchase the rights to license it for distribution on streaming services, and I don't really have the cash to blow on DVDs right now.

I am listening to Astronomia.

Playing the Switch version of Deltarune again, doing the whole game in a Pacifist run and trying for both Bonus Bosses.

EDIT: Decided to do a neutral run instead.

EDIT 2: Switched to pacifist for Chapter 2 (except the Berdly & Queen fights) because getting all those recruits the first time was so much fun.

Finally picked up Garth Marenghi's Darkplace again because I got distracted by a zillion other things (even though it's a 6 episode series I was trying to savor it...), got one episode to go. Absolutely top notch humor.

Listening to the soundtrack of The Smurfs for the NES.

Watching: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Reading: Tokyo Ghoul and JoJo Part 8

Playing: The Professor Layton trilogy on ios. I'm hoping to start playing Cave Story and Detroit: Become Human soon as well.

Currently listening to This Is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Commitee.
