I had a few things planned but got assassinated by cramps while doing the dishes in the morning. So I took it easy instead, ran some errands, ate some things, played Sims.

I also watched All Quiet on the Western Front and I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this movie. I think I'll make a post talking about my feelings towards the movie as well as the book at some point next week.

Positive Things I did today:

ran errands

did the dishes

watched All Quiet on the Western Front

went on a late night walk

called a friend

The fact that all of the foreign Captive Prince editions have literally the prettiest covers and we’re stuck with this basic shit annoys me to no end

English:

Japanese: (they have ILLUSTRATIONS. Do you understand???😭😭😭 gonna go learn Japanese)

Taiwanese:

Polish: I—This is everything. Like, everything.

(The first cover is literally one of the best arts of Capri I’ve ever seen)

Dear Berkley books,

This is a crime, one i will not stand for. So,

TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY AND GIVE ME CAPTIVE PRINCE, ILLUSTRATED, WITH THESE COVERS

Found this super pretty Picrew!

I thought some of you might like it 🤎🍷🥀

While my sister started school again yesterday, my brother only started again today. Obviously, I am just as proud of him as I am of my sister! He also graduated earlier this summer but will continue to go to school for 3 more years in order to get his Abitur (secondary school diploma which enables you to go to university in Germany). He's actually going to my old school now, which I am probably more excited about than he is!

Because it was the first day I drove him to school and because it was only 3 hours long I killed some time in the city before picking him up again. I got breakfast and then did some shopping. I also managed to finally finish Swimming in the Dark! I really loved the novel. It's close to a 5 star read for me (and might have been a definite 5 star if it hadn't taken me this long to finish it). I'll definitely keep an eye on Tomasz Jedrowski for any future releases. His way with words, his prose, was one of the best things about the story in my opinion. Maybe I'll also get a German edition of the book to check out the translation.

Positive things I did today:

went out for breakfast

did some shopping

finished Swimming in the Dark

went grocery shopping

prepared lunch for the next day
