I've seen many people do this type of slice, so I thought I would give it a try. Currently I am...
watching an anime called High Card. It tells the story of a fantasy world set in a more modern time where people have found cards that grant magical abilities. Each card in the deck has a unique ability or power and some of them are quite bizarre. It's been entertaining though and I have found all of the characters to be engaging. There doesn't seem to be much to it yet, but it strikes me as the kind of show that will only improve as it continues and the characters' backstories start to come to light and cause conflict around them.
reading two very different books at the moment. I'm always juggling multiple books.
First, there is Amanda Gorman's Call Us What We Carry, a book of poetry I am reading in preparation for a poetry month book club event (link). I have not made much progress with it because the poetry is heavier than I anticipated. Not in a bad way, just I want to soak in the words and each poem takes some time to unpack and appreciate. I have very much enjoyed it though and if you are interested you should totally join us for book club!
In addition, I am also reading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. I am not very far into it, so all I have is that it is set in a very sci-fi environment and takes place on a space ship with a motley crew. I'm excited to read more as I just finished Becky Chambers' novellas that were also sci-fi and they were fun reads!
listening to older episodes of the podcast Critical Role. I am caught up on the latest in Campaign Three and so decided I could spend some time listening to some of the Exandria Unlimited content. I would love to make time for Campaign Two again -- especially since I will have a long flight soon to dedicate some time. I just finished listening to The Magnus Archives and would love to find more podcasts like that! I love podcasts that tell stories more so than anything.
hoping to get my grading caught up and sub plans ready. Spring Break is in one week and I will be venturing to Italy with a group from the school. We will actually be gone for a few days after school returns and I want to make sure I am prepared. That's actually my plan for this weekend, but most of the time it's difficult enough planning a week at a time.
waiting for the aforementioned trip -- I can't believe it's so soon!
