September 2023 Favorites

Hey, um... have you seen September around anywhere? I really need to speak to her - what? Oh. She already left. Okay. Uh. If you see her, could you tell her I'm sorry I missed her? Oh, and could you thank her for this list of favorites? Thanks.

Monk: I watched Monk while it was originally airing. It's a show that my Mom, Grandma, and I all loved. With my anxiety, I've always related to Monk and his experiences. And as an adult, I enjoy and relate to the show even more. It really is a jungle out there.

Fruits Basket: I'm back to reading this lovely series. And a line from Volume 8 (CE) really got to me. "Even if the world doesn't need us, we live for the people who do." I feel like that's very relatable to people with anxiety and depression. Or any sort of limitations. Your life doesn't need to be "big" to be meaningful. I'm living for the little moments with friends and family that get me through.

Gnosia: This time loop social deduction visual novel has been very fun so far. I haven't discovered many of the secrets yet, but it's been a nice occasional break from Sims. And you know, life stress. It's of those "just one more round" games.

Sims: Speaking of Sims, I'm back to playing my Sims 2 Legacy on Simblr. And it's really lovely. Sims hasn't been the same recently, for reasons I won't get into. But going back to this family has been lighting up my love of the game again in new-old ways.

Music Favs: When the Lights Go Out (Gabrielle Aplin), Laughing with a Mouth of Blood (St. Vincent), All In (Lovedrug), Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Ray), Yesterday (Lovelast), Symphony (Jessica Riddle).
