Feb-Mar 2022

It has been an insane two months. Pandemic aside, I thought all that was going to happen for February 2022 was Lunar New Year, Winter Olympics with some lovely figure skating... and then a war broke out in Ukraine. On top of all other armed conflicts happening in the world, of course.

Then another earthquake in Japan.

March is ending soon...?

Out of curiosity, I started watching Servant of the People and thoughts about the drama itself aside, and it hits hard that the country appearing in the drama is no longer like that, and the actors, the crew, everyone involved, has had their lives utterly turned upside-down. Just because Putin couldn't keep his hands in his pockets. The invasion's a somewhat distant event in my corner of the world (for now) but apparently there are plenty of people in my vicinity who are eager to tell me how justified Russia was because reasons. Which is nuts. How can murder and destruction ever be justified? I've been talking about the weather a lot, instead.

I'll just add this link where Yuzuru Hanyu teaches a masterclass on musicality in just 72 seconds for people who need a little joy in these dark days.
