Month in Review: September 2022

Not much to report for this one - September is always busy, what with the start of the new academic year, and we also had guests for long stretches of time (by my standards), which ate up what little free time I had.

TV and movies

I watched Zhu Yilong's most recent movie Lighting up the Stars - not entirely my thing (mostly due to the type of characters involved), but the acting was good and so were the family feels, and I liked seeing the way Wuhan was portrayed.

Started a rewatch of Who Rules the World with folks on Discord, which remains fun and fairly undemanding. Other group watches still going on include Ultimate Note (not really capturing my attention, alas), The Rebel, Love and Redemption, very occasional Nirvana in Fire. I've given up on Romance of Tiger and Rose, which I know a lot of people like, but it's just too much secondhand embarrassment a la romantic comedy and the whole thing is a bit too, idk, stylised? for me.

I haven't been watching any fiction on my own because no time, and also I often find it hard to settle on something to watch when I'm not mid-series with something, so I just end up doing something else. Quite a bit of British comedy panel shows though...
