Well that certainly was a crazy 23 months, wasn't it?
Of course having to shack up with my ex in order to protect our immunocompromised children from a deadly virus would kill pretty much the last bit of drive to be creative for quite a long time.
While things are still crazy, two things have happened recently that means I'm finally going to do what I said I'd be doing for the last 3-4 years and start posting more again
1. I got a loaner laptop to use until I can afford something better.
2. I started seeing a therapist.
I will be starting next month with an all-new Listmas starting from scratch and sharing what my favorite things are for the first time in almost a decade. Some things have not changed much, but others have changed very much. It's my way of both easing back into regular updates and reintroducing my new self to anyone who may still be reading this outdated self-indulgent space.
After that, probably around January, I will start delving more deeply into some of my new obsessions and maybe updating you on thoughts of some of my old ones.
IF there is enough interest in it shown by March, I will consider trying to get a version of Geekdom Madness back off the ground, though there's a lot of variables with that one and life likes to find ways make me break my more ambitious promises.
In April I will finally do what I have been avoiding and putting off for years and return to the subject that most long-time readers know me for. I will finally watch and give fair judgement to the rest of Disney's Star Wars Expanded Universe films after having only ever watched Force Awakens (well, and the first season of Rebels as well as The Mandalorian up to date, but I'm talking just the movies right now). Why April? Because May is Star Wars month and I want to have that buffer to detox with my first rewatch of the Lucas 6 in years in case my opinions of Disney's EU run resoundingly negative. That said I maintain my vow that no matter what my opinion ends up being, I will never be so vicious or cruel as to berate fans of the films and I will be as fair as possible to the work.
Beyond that, we'll see how things go. I don't blame anyone for being skeptical given the last four or five times I said I'd be back on track life happened. But I hope you'll all see me finally put my money where my mouth is in the coming weeks.
Until then, for what little it may be worth given its controversy, Happy Thanksgiving.
