Nerd Church - I'm On A 'The Kinks' Vibe ATM

 

I’m on a bit of a Kinks vibe at the moment.

(…No, not that type of kink — keep it clean, dearest nerdlets. I mean the legendary rock/pop 60s band, The Kinks.)

I love The Kinks — their music is beautiful and complex in a way that few non-classical composers can claim.

A few months ago I saw Sunny Afternoon — a musical about the band’s early years — in Cardiff, and I’ve been on a Kinks-vibe ever since.

(My auto-generated Spotify mixes are now very confused by the way — my tastes are so all over the place that they don’t know if I’m 17 or 70. Neither is true — or maybe both, who knows? 

Either way Spotify keeps rec'ing such excellent combos as The Rolling Stones and Sabrina Carpenter, The Beatles and olivia rodrigo, The Monkees and TX2 *shrugs*)

3 From My TBR: From The Movies

Since my To-Be-Read (TBR) list is continually growing, from time to time I like to throw together a list focussing on some of the (often diverse) titles on there.

I may never get to all of the 1k+ books on there, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve some attention!

As this is a TBR, I haven't read any of these, so have no idea whether or not they're any good!

I figured that this time around, I would feature 3 books which I added to my list because I’ve seen the film adaptation.

This being me, though, they’re probably a little on the obscure side — because since when can I do anything ‘normally’? (Lol.)

Nerd Church - Prioritising Stuff

 

Sometimes you have to take a look at your task list, and prioritise in order to get sh** done.

Sometimes we have to prioritise stuff that we’d rather not prioritise in order to free up time/energy for other stuff later.

(As annoying as that can be when you just wanna starfish on your sofa and wait for the summer to end so that you can freaking think again. …I really hate the heat, can you tell?)

Nerd Church - It's Too Hot To Do Anything

 

It’s too hot to think.

It’s too hot to do anything except stare vacantly at my laptop for a while.

But I said there’d be a Nerd Church post… so now I have to write a Nerd Church post. (Good luck, dear readers…)

Nerd Church - Queer, 365 Days A Year

 

I’m Queer 365 days a year.

June is Pride month - the month where LGBTQ+ people celebrate and commemorate the Stonewall riots, as well as our right to exist and be the people we are.

(Here in the UK June is the month, but due to scheduling quirks, events pretty much take place all summer.)
