I just finished reading DREADFUL by Caitlyn Rozakis and really enjoyed it. I choose it for the cover, to be honest and the story fit it perfectly. There's an evil wizard who might not be evil, a beautiful princess who might not be beautiful and heroes who might not be heroic.
I had 2 books to choose from next: I Think I'm in Love With an Alien by Ann Aguirre and the Diary of Anais Nin, Volume 1. I choose Anias Nin. I had read all her books in my twenties, as well as Henry Miller and those of that time and social group. I remembered Anais Nin as being very poetic in her prose and having an exciting, artistic life.
It will be interesting to reread her 40 years later.
I have finished therapy with my practitioner. It started with me wanting to take a few months off but in deeper conversation we began to acknowledge that our path concluded. I am not done with therapy. I need a therapist I can see in person and I want to separate therapy from my home (we've been telehealthing our sessions for 4 years). I'll miss my therapist, she's a delight and such a safe person but I'm ready to switch things up.
I've been watching a ton of violent movies on Tubi. (Tubi is free, by the way.) Most of the movies are women getting revenge against their attackers. Very enjoyable.
I have a fantasy of running away to France to live the remaining years of my life so I've decided to learn French to make the fantasy more of a choice. Anybody ever experience any language apps?
Here's to finding the best therapist near you.
ReplyDeleteLanguage apps: I know people used to love Duolingo, but it's now AI-infected, and not so good anymore.
Tubi: I did not know that it's free, nor that I could watch this particular subgenre of film in there. Excellent news!
Tubi has a number of genres although the pickings are not always top notch. But I've been enjoying violence recently (no need to unpack that) and there's a lot of options.
DeleteI did open a Duolingo account and have already started French classes. I don't know how serious about this I am so I'll start with the free app and then if I truly care about really learning I'll buy a Babbel class.
