10.5 months more.

It feels like I just wrote happy new year post and after a month of chaos, restlessness and insane work happenstances, it dawned on me that we are already a month and half past of the supposed new year.

how are you? had a good January? Had fun on Valentines or did the day come and go, and you didn’t notice?

Going in to 2024, I knew that this was going to be a long, challenging year. Give change in my role at work, there is a lot to read and catch up at work so I wouldn’t want to read more after work as well.

Having said that.

I bought like 9 books. 6 are poetry, 3 are fantasy. I am not reading a lot of literary fiction since I am not fully into reading literature at the moment. Its okay, I will pick them up as audio books and give them a listen if/when I can.

Hmm, what else. Am still on my horror movie watching game. 2023 wasn’t as good as 2022 in terms of horror movies but during the tail end of the year, some really good ones came out. I delved a bit deep into European and Latin American horror as well; they weren’t easy to find, but with dedication and Google and Reddit, I managed to find.

I am also on a slight bend for art cinema from Europe. I bought MUBI subscription for the year and finding some great, weird and absolutely batshit bonkers movies. Its been a wild ride.

As a part of 2024 resolution I wanted to try new things – things I once used to consume but sort of quit. Anime was one of them. So naturally I got Crunchyroll and its been such a blast. I am currently watching Attack on the Titans. Its…fun, I guess. Anime are easier to watch, short episodes and have some great story telling.

Its been quite busy with all the stuff happening, and working some of the weekends. Hopefully life slows down a little where I can indulge on garbage shit I watch even more slowly and do a watch party or something.

Have you guys been alright?

See you soon. Hopefully before an entire month passes!
