yuuago☆ Have been watching Dark; up to s1e9 now. Really enjoying it so far. It's not my typical genre (I'm not much of a sci-fi person, not much of a time travel person) but it's so atmospheric, and I like the acting. I'm glad that there's a lot of it - two seasons, and a third coming out soon. Though at the same time I'm a little surprised about that; it seems like the kind of premise that works best as a concise single-season. But I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with all of it.
☆ I was going to make banana ice cream, because we have a ton of frozen sliced bananas. But alas, we forgot to buy cream, and I'm not about to go out and do that. Maybe I should make chocolate chip cookies instead.
☆ Working on my resume continues to be a pain in the ass. I've been doing it in small pieces to ensure I won't get too frustrated. It's hard to describe everything in a way that's both concise and understandable. And... not to get too into it, but I have difficulty presenting myself and my qualifications as outstanding/remarkable.
☆ It's been rainy and gloomy and miserable for the past few days, and I have had enough of it. We do need the rain, though.
☆ Today I included some brief bursts of running in my morning workout! And managed not to hurt myself. Hooray. For quite a while, I ruled actual running out because of some old injuries that I didn't want to mess around with (my knees suck, among other things) but today's experiment worked out really well. I'm going to keep this up and see what happens. As long as I make sure to limit this in a reasonable way, I bet there will be some improvement eventually.
☆ I received my assignment for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
raremaleslashex yesterday, and I've already hit the minimum wordcount on it. :D I'm very pleased about this. And I have a real actual outline and everything! If I manage to pull this off, my recip is going to get something totally awesome.
☆ Meanwhile, I've also been working on auction fics. Draft for fic #2 is close to being finished, I... think. It is going to need so much editing, good gods. Though weirdly enough, I'm actually looking forward to that; certain parts of it need to be condensed rather than polished, and that's always an interesting challenge.
☆ Upcoming exchanges that some of you might be interested in:
+parallelsfic - Exchange centred around small fandoms for Asian canons; currently in nom stages.
+multifandomdrabble - Exchange with 100-word fic limit; no rarity requirements. Noms start June 07.
+everywoman - Character-based exchange centred around female characters. Noms from now until June 08.
+fandomgiftbox - Not really an exchange; you list things that you would like to receive in your 'box', and then fill other people's giftboxes. Like fandom_stocking but in summer. Signups open now until June 21.
These are all ones I've participated in before, but this year the only one I'm going to sign up for is Multifandom Drabble, I think.
