On 11 February, I started a challenge for myself here on DW: to reach 2000 comments by the end of this year.

It is now 27 October and I have met my goal. A few seconds ago I made my 2000th comment. Yay!

Earlier than expected but that is good because in the upcoming weeks, my wifi access might be spotty and/or time constrained. We shall see.

Since I love numbers and challenges, obviously I cannot resist setting a new challenge for myself:

10 000 comments here on DW!

This time, I am not putting a time limit on myself, though.

My personal challenge is in this year 2019 to increase my number of comments made on Dreamwidth to 2000. It sits currently at 1639. I am not sure if I can make it but I'll give it my best effort! On Livejournal, my number of comments made is over 10000 and I love that.

In the last few months, I have seen:

Black Panther: To say that I enjoyed it would be an understatement. It was more like a revelation.

It (2017): My first horror film in quite a while. I liked it but was not very frightened and not as impressed as by Conjuring 2 by far. Looking forward to the sequel anyway.

Whip It: A re-watch but I only stuck with it for the first half of the film. That's what I remembered enjoying the most anyway. Really enjoyed Ellen Page's performance and the roller skating bits.

The first episode of Star Trek: Discovery. Quite enjoyed it, want to watch the rest of it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

A short scene from The Orville and laughed my arse off. Haha. I want to watch more of it to see if I like it although it being produced by Fox makes me a bit wary. We'll see. I haven't even looked if it is available on the German Netflix yet or if I would have to resort to Other Sources.

I want to write more about the books I have read (have been reading more books recently, yay!) but IDK if I want to do it here or not.
The unfortunate fact is that I want to read more fanfic again but I just don't feel as fannish as I used to. Not even for the aforementioned films. That makes me a bit sad, actually. >:(
Currently, I would have the time.

I've also been thinking of making a fannish tumblr. Mostly so I can follow some tumblr peeps with it and potentially interact easier than always being on-anon or on my non-fannish tumblr, where I wouldn't reblog personal posts or fannish stuff etc. at all. Hm. But I hate the tumblr dashboard so much. I tried to use the tumblr app on my phone but that was an even bigger disaster. Maybe I should look into tumblr saviour and xkit and the like.

staranise has some health trouble and could use a little financial help while she searches for jobs. Also, job leads near Edmonton. More details here, if you're so inclined and able to. :-)
