new beginnings stock-taking & introduction + what i'm watching/reading/thinking/caring about
Hello, new people and fellow rediscoverers of DW!
In light of Tumblr Exodus I thought I would point to the bio in my profile and the blanket permission statement there (though in short: comments from new people are welcome; feel free to follow me; feel free to introduce yourself if we don't know one another; almost nothing is access-locked). For anyone newly subscribing to this blog, you may be interested in the introduction post 10 Things I Assume You Know About Me If You Read My Journal (this was a meme that went around LJ in 2006. I've just had it pinned to my profile & periodically updated)(though in short: I'm 36 and have been in fandom since 2001;![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
waxjism is my wife).
I have been using Tumblr more than DW over the past few years, and am now making an active effort to increase my engagement here. (I need to look for more communities, I suppose.) I used to do 'what am I reading and what am I watching' sort of roundups here, and I haven't done one in ages; therefore, here's a hopefully comprehensive
Still invested and patiently awaiting the next sequel, albeit in many cases with critiques about past movie quality: MCU, Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Venom, Star Wars
Still invested and patiently awaiting the next season: Brooklyn 99 (1 season behind in Netflix Nordic), The Good Place (""), American Gods, Star Trek Discovery, Outlander, Legion (although we haven't finished the last season & I understand there's a controversy), Jessica Jones?
Still/perpetually invested: Poirot (Suchet/Christie), and relatedly: any new Agatha Christie adaptations, other Golden Age detective novels, 1920s-1930s generally historically & on film (eg Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries & Dandy Gilver by Catriona McPherson, but also Singin' in the Rain, Jeeves & Wooster, etc). Most notably, my Poirot screencap blog, Mais Oui Poirot, doesn't have any nsfw content, but its fate is still uncertain (when I leave Tumblr).
Still/perpetually invested, but not related to the Interwar period: Sherlock Holmes (ACD/Granada), Star Trek, any Jane Austen or Georgette Heyer, US home improvement series This Old House
Still bummed that it's over/please supply more meta: Hannibal, Black Sails, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Recently watched/rewatched/enjoyed: Monty Python's complete works (i.e. Flying Circus, Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, & a bunch of interviews/documentaries); Bad Times at the El Royale; Venom; A Wrinkle in Time; Maurice; the Tron movies (lol); The Spy Who Dumped Me; Campion BBC; the Mission: Impossible movies; Hotel Artemis; Escape to the Country & Escape to the Continent
Non-fandom hobbies which will likely come up: knitting; fountain pens and fountain pen ink; dip pen calligraphy esp. italic, gothic & uncial; hockey (nhl mostly: leafs, stars, caps...); drawing (more like sketching though); nail polish
Other non-fandom interests: animals esp. cats, dogs, rabbits, sheep, goats, reptiles; art history; historical costume esp. 18th-20th century, ancient, early middle ages; ubuntu linux; interior design; Arts & Crafts movement & Craftsman/Mission/Prairie + Art Deco & Art Nouveau design/architecture; folk art and folk dress; jazz, mostly female jazz vocalists; shoes & shoe fashion; eye makeup fashion
