Checking the date of the last post, wow that has been a while. Ah the summer went by, hot weeks, not so hot weeks. Relaxing in many ways. 

Not that I haven’t written during it. Or that new projects didn’t show up. Far from.

I picked up painting. Indeed I paint now, badly, but I paint. 

And I am picking up drawing, because that has to be done too. 

Writing wise projects are slowly moving along. Slowly that is a given but now the summer is over and the “stay inside” weather is rising I should find more time for one mayor thing.. writing. 

Also I have been “wasting” time into watching series. I don’t call it a waste as a good story can stick to the mind for later writing.

See I got multiple streaming services. And all of them cost money each month. So to make decisions if they can stay I began to start a log. 

A basic log keeping track of what I watch on what service and how long those series/episodes are. Useful, so far I learned that I use HBO Max the most, which due to a grand-fathering structure I get permanent 50% off. A lot of fun little series on that service. Another thing I learned is that yes I do watch Amazon Prime, but not the huge shows… but the smaller things. I like 25 minute videos. Or 44m max. The loser here is also the most expensive, Netflix, still it has a few pretty nice series. 

Amazon Prime has after a few years updated its prices too, in a sneaky way. The 4.99 I had for years [a month] now is advert based. Still have to decide if I keep it. For “only” 2.99 I can remove the adverts. Sneaky! 

And Disney Plus? Long Cancelled, I hoped to get a few older Disney movies… little in that. And the newer stuff just isn’t for me. So that was an easy choice to cut many months ago. I think I still get once in a while a notice that for only 4.99 I can get Disney Plus, yeah the advert based one. 

In the end it isn’t much of wasted time, progress in many areas, maybe not writing. But such can happen. Such is life.
