Hey friends!
It’s the chestnut roasting on an open fire, Sam Cote, rearin’ and ready to go with another Weekly Favorites!
What I’m Reading: You guessed it! Still working on my 52nd book of the year, Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. I’m still loving it, but I’ll admit it’s taking longer than I’d like. Hoping to knock out a few chapters a day so I can finish it reasonably soon!
What I’m Listening To: I’m listening to lots of Christmas music– I find that as I get older I have to be more deliberate about getting myself in the Christmas spirit, and the music has been pretty effective! 🎄
What I’m Watching: I watched Encanto this past week, and oh my goodness. . . It was really darn good. The concept and execution were near perfect, and it had me crying multiple times. I particularly enjoyed the musical number shared between Mirabel and Luisa– that scene establishes the problem within the Madrigal family in a way that made me feel it in my bones. I can totally see why everyone has been obsessing about it since it premiered.
What I’m Making: I put a lot of effort into this week’s video, and I’m pretty proud of it! I put a few video memes into it, and I think overall it’s a lot more engaging than my other videos recently. Here’s to improving with each upload! Here it is if you want to see.
How I Slow Down & Unplug: I think I’m going to remove this section– I’ve been saying pretty much the same thing every time, so I’ll add it back when I have something else to put here 🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks for reading!
