+ I made a bunch of Xena vids, including finishing my Xena x Indigo Girls series. Vidding Xena has become so fun and easy, and I enjoy the interaction on youtube, but I fear my ideas are getting repetitive, so I'm ready to move on to other sources.

+ My friends' and my virtual Xena watch ended, and we started watching Farscape. We're just about to finish Season 1. So far watching with other people is helping me like it more, but I also remember in later seasons just...generally wishing that it was more of an ensemble show than it is. And also having John Issues, so we'll see if those hold for this rewatch.

+ I watched Everything Everywhere All at Once three times in the cinema and once more at home, which is unheard of for me. Is it my favourite movie of all time? Why yes, yes it is.

+ I quit my job (a Senior Research Scientist at a university) and am waiting for all the government approvals so Mr. Adjacent and I can start a childcare business. After years of angst, it turned out leaving academia was pretty easy.

+ I went to Xenite Retreat, which was wonderful. I did the leap of faith and talked to Jacqueline Kim, and the second was much more terrifying. Alas, it is very expensive, not just to attend but also to get to, and they are moving to an even more expensive location, so I will not be going again for many years, if ever.

+ I went to VidUKon in person, which was even more wonderful because it truly has become my fannish home. If only I could get these people to have a dance party, it would be literally perfect.

+ I attempted to manage my chronic hip pain, and seem to have settled on "sleep with pillow between my knees and my legs straight"

+ I took one last work trip, to Nairobi, which was great. I had been there before and I really like it there. I traveled a lot for work and Nairobi was one of my favourite places I visited

+ I restarted Animal Crossing after quitting my job and am playing pretty nonstop rn. I am trying to make an island inspired by Becky Chambers' solarpunk Monk and Robot series.

I am failboat about posting everyday.  I keep forgetting! 

In better news, my new boss gave me a small project to do while I wait for computer access for the work I was hired to do, and to help me learn Python. (Which I don't have to learn, but I want to.)  And today I finished it!  The result was mildly interesting but mostly it was just satisfying to do it.  Small, self-contained projects don't come around too often in the research world.  I suppose it's possible that my interpretation of the results was incorrect and there's more to it than I thought, but I think I did figure out the answer to a very, very small problem.

Anyway, the point of my post: should I give Once Upon a Time S3 a shot?  I wasn't too enamored with late S2 and lost what little interest I'd maintained over the summer break.  Bear in mind: I'm in this for the femslash and my favorite ladies, especially Mulan, Ruby, Snow, Regina, and Emma. 

No spoilers please!  (Which is why I'm asking y'all instead of reading your reaction posts!)

The day so far: alternating between vidding and paper revisions.  When I can't look at one any longer, I switch to the other.  This seems to be a great way to keep myself at stage 9!  Although staying focused on motion is harder than I expected.  I didn't realize how strong my inclination was to let narrative -- as determined by the lyrics as well as the music -- dominate my clip choice.  But I'm working on it.

Also: I think I've finally figured out how to use freeze-frames and varying clip speed, and I really feel like I'm getting the hang of jump cuts as well. :D  Vids getting flashier!!

OK, time to turn Freedom back on for the next few hours.
