Mar 1: What did I do this week?
2026-03-01
Watched Douglas Is Cancelled
I agree with the popular influencer who got me to watch it that it is "a very good show about how men in positions of power use that power to twist narratives and both abuse women and lay blame for that abuse on the women themselves", and would add that it's also quite funny, but I did think that the writing fell apart a lot in the last episode. Not enough to ruin the whole thing, though.
The previous Steven Moffat show I saw was Dracula in 2020, and as I recall, I thought that started strong but completely fell apart after (or maybe even during) the first episode. I did absolutely hate that show overall, so I suppose he's improved.
Started watching some other shows
Treme and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The latter seems fine so far, but Treme! Wow. I'm only a couple of episodes in, but it's already just so compelling. Love to see more of Wendell Pierce.
Started playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Mixed feelings so far. A lot of polish and some great features for a metroidvania, but also an Ubisoft Game with a lot of story that's unremarkable so far and other bloat. Can't turn off Ubisoft launcher achievement popups. I'm giving it until after the first big boss to do something interesting, and if it hasn't by then I'm just going to start skipping all the dialogue and cutscenes.
Continued drawing boxes
I did #200 today, so the week after next I should be drawing other things! Exciting. I still haven't missed a day, and I've filled an entire 50-page paper pad, which is satisfying to look at. I wish I had the stamina for scheduled non-Drawabox drawing every day, but not yet. But eventually!
Enjoyed winter starting to end
It's been above freezing all week here, and the snow has rained away. I've been wearing my warmest sweaters all day and all night for months, and it's been nice to be OK without them for a little bit here and there. Looking forward to getting to wear dresses again soonish.
