Update July 2023: Books, serial killers, and house move

Well, goodness! I didn't mean to fall into a black hole. I moved house, everything is a mess, and I fell behind on free time. 

I decided to change the layout of the website a bit. Maybe making the font a bit bigger. Hopefully that helps with reading and navigation. I might need to spend some time going back into the archives to make sure it all looks passable. I'll just add it to my to-do list and hope I get to it...this month. 

I was shocked to see that the police arrested a man who may/may not be LISK/Gilgo Beach Killer.  I suppose I was surprised because I didn't think there was much evidence that could conclusively lead to a person but apparently that was not the case! The book I read about the people who were murdered and buried in the Gilgo Beach area is called Lost Girls and is by Robert Kolker. I appreciated the intense focus on the victims instead of the purported killer (at the time of print - completely unknown). I hope this focus on the victim continues as a standard in true crime.  

I read a LOT last year. Maybe I'll do a mid-year reading graph...for the year before. It was well over 300 books. Strangely, with Twitter imploding and Reddit being on strike, I've been spending less time on social media. I feel like it's so obvious to say that there is this correlation/causation between mental health and social media but since being off...I've been able to sit down and watch more TV  and new movies (being less antsy).  I purposefully did not join any of the new social media apps that popped up (ex: Threads) to keep my time for myself.  
I might be the only person in America who hasn't seen Barbie yet. I'm a little worried about trying the movie theater with migraines. I think the last time I went was in...2013. I saw Sandy B and Melissa McCartney's The Heat. ​And while I think the movie was probably okay, I just couldn't handle the lights and sound, so I spent the last part being sick in the bathroom. 

But I want to see Barbie (and even maybe Oppenheimer) but I just don't know if I can handle it. Ugh. Stupid, stupid, stupid migraines. 

My favorite meme/mashup of Barbieheimer is this one, which features a retro poster design. If Twitter/X/Whatever Elon is doing doesn't work, I'm sorry.
