Off work today, yay! Doing some laundry and will be having dinner with my husband at our favorite Italian restaurant later this evening. Just a nice, quiet, chill kinda day.

Still grading papers; questioning my life choices...

Off work so not much. Freezing mostly.

Cold as hell! Downloading Apex Legends to see if I can play it on PC. Very hungry. D::

Driving through Nebraska! Not a terribly eventful time, lol.

I still have bronchitis and my roomie is going to be out almost all day today so I'm just relaxing and listening to music and having a little wine and catch up on my reading later.

Played computer games for a while, drank some coffee, going to go eat some lunch now probably

Thrilling!

Work most of the day. Got an allergy shot in the morning. Right now, I'm writing a speech.

Worked and now I'm about to do some cleaning because plumbers are coming tomorrow and I don't want the house to be a mess (although they probably don't care, but I do) then probably heading to bed early because I only got a few hours of sleep last night and am super tired.

I finished watching The Umbrella Academy and went out to do some grocery shopping.

I need something to with my hands for 6-7 a week. I want to take up a crafting hobby. Right now, I am trying to decide between crochet or knitting. I mostly want to make scarves, hats, and maybe some blankets if I get good enough.

Which would you suggest I go with? I have no preference towards either.

I think crochet is easier all around, but then I never really took to knitting.

I will admit that there are some truly delightful things you can only make by knitting, though.

Knitting is rather easy and it is much easier on your wrists (I have a wrist issue that prevents me from crochetting).

Knitting is slightly harder to pick up at the start, but there's a lot more you can do with it, and in my opinion, the end results are a lot prettier. The stitches just look a whole lot neater and it makes the whole piece look more polished as a result.

Crocheting lets you make fancy-looking things easier, but most of them requires you to read patterns continually. Knitting lets you space out; if you keep it to simple and familiar patterns, you can do it without thinking eventually. Crocheting is definitely better suited for smaller pieces, knitting for bigger ones. Crocheting is probably easier to pick up simply because there's pretty much just one stitch with some variations, but it's not like you need to know more than maybe four techniques in order to knit either, so.

I prefer knitting because it makes time spent watching TV feel a bit less of a waste.

I was watching Fullmetal Alchemist on Netflix - yes, there is a live action movie, and yes, it is as bad as it sounds - and I remembered why I decided to learn English back in 8th grade. I wanted to be able to understand porny doujinshi translated into English as I could not read Japanese.

So I went on the Internet to find some of them for nostalgia's sake. I can actually understand them now - well, except from the weird syntax but I guess that's par for the course with fan made translation. I was really surprised at how rapey they could get though.

X-Men: Evolution on Cartoon Network then X-Men comics and all the fandom around them. Well I was taught some English in highschool before that but I was more interested in learning Spanish at the time; it's only two years ater graduation that suddenly I found some interest in it and got better. (Helps a lot with scientific papers, too...)

I didn't really actively decide, I just started reading fanfic and most of it was in English so I just gradually got better at it. I unconsciously learned a lot about understanding words/expressions in context rather than constantly looking up every little word I didn't understand in a dictionary.

I moved to America.

I got put in English immersion class in kindergarten. I kinda wish there'd been a dual immersion class back then because it makes me feel a little sad that I can't express myself as eloquently in my native language as I can in English.
