Assorted thoughts update #2

[fitia]

I've been getting into the groove of living on my own for the first time, and it was definitely scary and stressful at first. But I think I'm managing a lot better, now! I've set consistent habits for myself to build, and have gotten better at setting reachable goals (though the fact that I'm at a point in time where I have a lot of errands to do might be helping with that), and overall, I think I'll be able to make this new chapter of my life manageable.

I actually didn't have anything particular in mind to share when I opened the site today and started writing this, so I'm finding things as I go:

• There was a whole week I'd spent on Youtube scrolling through a bunch of K/J-Music performances, and while doing so I happened to find some new singers I enjoyed and whose discographies I'd like to take the time to discover at some point. Chief among them being Sheena Ringo, who I imagine is popular enough that admitting I've only just discovered her probably makes me sound like I've been living my whole life under a rock, lol. I've been loving this song of hers in particular. The music video is really fun, too.
• I've also watched the movie Mississippi Masala recently! It was an incredible watch, and got me teary-eyed. Maybe I'll think to write a longer review some other time, I've just realized that I've gotten sleepier while typing this.
• Currently, I'm reading La Confession d'un enfant du siècle by Alfred de Musset. I was interested in reading something from the perspective of a Frenchman living in unstable times, post-Napoleon, and the first chapter seemed promising in that regard, but the next parts took a sharp turn towards some unbearable misogyny that I've been having less and less fun the further I go. I'm thinking that if the author doesn't change the subject soon, I'll have to DNF it.

I think that's all for what's presently on my mind. Though maybe I'm also less encouraged to type at the moment because I'm writing this very sleepy and on my phone, and it isn't the most pleasant experience. Should remember to always, always make my Dreamwidth updates while using a computer!

Ooh, Sheena Ringo! She has some really good music. My brother introduced me to one of her albums through the music club we're both in, and I've been meaning to listen to more of her stuff. I'll definitely try to give the song you linked a listen when I find a good time!

YES!! She's great, I can't wait to give more of what she's got a try!
