Goodbye 2025, it's been a year.
It's been the year I finally went to Japan (2½ weeks in october, it was lovely, but damn, I hate long planerides.)
It's been the year when I saw the Crazy Christmas Cabaret for the very last time. They'll be missed. Now, to find a new december tradition. Also, I am considering whether it might be fun to go to London next december to see a panto, for comparison purposes.
It's been a year of twice having periods of no clean water (I'm grateful for my tiny prepping box with bottled water) and twice my stupid cat got bacterial UTIs (I still suspect the second round was a deliberate plot to get me to once again give her liquid snacks twice a day).
It's been quite possibly the least amount of writing I've managed in a year. Just two tiny drabbles, a Murderbot ficlet and a Mysterious Lotus Casebook three sentence fic.
It's been a year of reading 177 books and comics according to Goodreads. My favourites, in no particular order, were the manga The Apothecary Diaries (Maomao is a delight); Joakim Garff's Solisterne (a historical novel of Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard going on vacation together); Robert Jackson Bennett's The Tainted Cup & A Drop of Corruption (murder mystery fantasy said in a biopunk universe with kaijus); Martin Wangsgaard Jürgensen's Drømmenes pris (a biography of Lovecraft and analysis of his writings); and listening to the audiobooks of Pratchett's Witch novels - now that was pure nostalgia. Wyrd Sisters was the second full novel I ever read in English. Yeah, especially the early ones have flaws that are more obvious now, but - <3.
It's been a year of watching 24 movies and series. My two absolute favourites were animated: Flow (which finally came to Danish cinemas) and Kpop Demon Hunters.

It's been a year. And now it's 2026 and we'll see how that goes. No new year's resolutions. I do want to try to write more (I'd say sign up for exchanges to get that deadline pressure, but I got so disappointed the last few times). Oh, and come spring I need to find a driving instructor to give me some routine lessons.
