Tears gone (for now).

Finished The Taiga Syndrome.

Might finish Night Sky With Exit Wounds (I like to slowly read poetry).

Philly Fan Expo Tickets purchased.

Panicking over what cool book to be seen with in public because that is the kind of person I am.

The best part of today was how many guests at the conference I'm working asked about indie bookstores to visit in Philly and every time I was like omg I'm so ready to answer this question.

Gotta love trying to find a private place to cry in the workday and someone finding you there and just respecting never bringing it up out of respect.

THIS SAVAGE SONG x LOCKWOOD&CO

Guitar just wants to play the cello, it's not his fault he can see ghosts.

When Denny, an ace monster hunter, asks Guitar to help stop a serial killer ghost, he refuses. Danger sucks BUT his lil crush on Denny tells him to maybe say yes.

DANNY PHANTOM x WEDNESDAY

Well, Denny Dragan sure messed up this time. Rather than find his missing sister, he accidentally released a serial killer ghost.

To make things messier, he needs help from Guitar, a medium who would rather practice his cello than save lives.

Sitting here trying to figure out if I've ever been to a taiga in Inner Mongolia while fully knowing I was literally in the Hulunbuir grasslands.

Me: Horror never really scares me. It's all so fake and pretend. Esp. supernatural horror.

Also Me: I have to check the lock in sets of threes because I watched a true crime documentary and that's one way to invite a murderer into your home.

Big event week means cool lunch break spots.

Reading The Taiga Syndrome by Christina Rivera Garza

A book stands on a table you can see the reflection of the covers the Taiga Syndrome by Cristina Rivera Garza, translated by Suzanne Jill Levine and Aviva Kana. The cover is black with things white circles. Surrounding the book is a library with wood paneling and shelves.

100 pages left of An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson.

I've been enjoying this book.

I shouldn't think about Graverobbers cause it makes me so mad.

A lot isn't working and I don't know how to fix it yet and am now listening to my playlist for it when I should focus on AK Retelling.

Ari(adne) @earthkids.bsky.social · 2d

I dreamt about my Graverobbers Idea for the first time in so long.

I still have no idea if I should edit it or work on major rewrites or what but was happy to revist the idea for a bit.

This is hard because I feel like I have too many songs to pull at memories/notes.

However, the Deftones cover of The Chauffer and Blow Up the Outside World by Soundgarden are my go to songs for Reach Out.

I made this so long ago but here is a playlist:

I also regret going to Wawa. What do you mean there's no longer a special here for a hoagie and soup?

It's a hoagie and a bag of chips? Is that normal?

I never come here for a reason. 😔

Ari(adne) @earthkids.bsky.social · 2d

Walking to Wawa and was almost hit by a Tastykake truck feels like a bad joke in some show trying to add as many Philly references into one scene.

I'm so scared I'll accidentally say something in Russian that I'm gonna pause my studies.
