Kicked off one item which was the NOLA trip for the very fun wedding of our nephew and his bride. I continue to be low-energy and ill, in part because of the weather, which has been horrible. Not just temperature changes and rain and stuff, but also tornadoes and hail. We're hoping that the new month brings an end to the bad weather.

List under the cut to protect your flist. )

In addition to the usual push on the ongoing items, we did some museuming in NOLA and have some plans to do some things in the next couple of weeks here. We'll see how all that pans out and if the weather and illness and injury permit us to get much done. I'm also keeping track of my clothes wears in a spreadsheet instead of by photo and it's proving very helpful.

The only thing we had for sure on the agenda last month was the Dallas Chamber Music finale, which I missed because I am sick. I am actually devastated as I've wanted to see the cellist for decades. Sigh.

Under the cut to protect your flist )

Tickets we bought: we're going to the Psychedelic Furs with friends; I bought the Book of Love tickets immediately because they're a lifetime get; and of course we got Howard Jones tickets. I think we may go to the Stewart Copeland show as well, but have not bought tickets. There's so much I want to see this summer; I hope I find the energy for it all.

I really need to get cracking on all my music I need to rip.

Books
The Poet Empress, by Shen Tao. DNF at 121 pages. Chinese fantasy about a village girl who becomes concubine to a cruel prince. When the viewpoint character performed an act of torture, I noped out.
Mistakes Were Made, by Meryl Wilsner. A rom-com in which a college student has a one-night stand with her best friend's mom and then they catch feelings. A lot of sex, which was not what I came here for, and a lot of comedy awkwardness, but surprisingly little ick for a situation that could have come off as taking a lot of advantage; the author was very careful on that point. I would not turn down another book by this author but it was kind of on the edge of my interests. A nice reverse after the torture and the heavy MAGA stuff I was reading before that, though.
Evergreen, by Naomi Hirahara. Second in the series of Japantown mysteries featuring post-WWII Japanese-Americans. The mystery in this one, even more than the first one, was subsumed in the historical detail and character development, but not in a bad way. I would be interested in more stories with these characters but it looks like the next book in the series is set at the turn of the (last) century.
Dueling Fops of Vindamere: A Game of Grudges and Braggin', by Greg Stolze. Short game about dueling and bragging in a comedy fantasy early modern state. Now I want to both run it and strip-mine it for parts.
