LOOKING FORWARD TO january

 Christmas day was spent with my sister and brothers, nieces and nephews.  There was non-stop games and fashion shows. We listened to the yule log while opening gifts. My son got a ton of fun stuff including a Sonic-the-race-car and a hologram target- practice game.

On Saturday, we got invited to eat oodoon noodles at a friends house. In the evening, I did online improv, we usually start with games and then move into long-form which is prompted by acronyms. In this case, we used 

A mural In South Minneapolis (near Chicago and Lake)

I may spend New Years Day inside, we'll see how I feel. But in the morning, we'll have an improv marathon on Oozebear.com

Draco is married to a dark witch when Hermione becomes his enslaved surrogate, and she has no idea how he rose in Voldemort's ranks during the war. As Hermione's memories slowly come back, she will not only piece together how the Order fell apart but also discover a history with Draco she could have never anticipated.

I think it would be cool to go to the Tisderine bends in Morocco one day.

LOOKING FORWARD TO DecemBER

This week I met with a friend at her office to watch movies and hang out. 

We saw "Leave the World Behind." 

I loved this movie a lot and the themes in it surrounding the idea of an apocalypse.

It's been a slow week. I went to Writer's group and wrote a few stories about language learning while drinking espresso and laughing at other writer's stories.

 Last night it snowed while I was leaving from a friends house.

I forgot... I also met a YouTuber while driving for UBER, and supposively he pulls pranks on people (especially women). It was interesting to talk with him because he wasn't as extroverted as he comes off in his videos in some ways, and it took several questions to figure out what "Kind" of pranks he does, including approaching women in cars and asking them questions about whether they are golddiggers.

 and I included a video of his channel

Here is my Grateful list.

Grateful for meeting so many people on the language app.

For friends who pack me rice to go

for friends who reach out.

Grateful for taking risks in my writing

That's my week. Tell me about yours in the comments below.

This gender-swapped When Harry Met Sally retelling is for anyone who craves romance novels with realistic and flawed characters. Ari and Josh circle each other for years in the kind of delicious, slow-burn tension that only comes from a well-executed enemies-to-friends-to-lovers arc

"You Again" by Kate Goldbeck. I loved this book because the MC is an improviser and comedian!!! I have never seen a romance book with a character whose job is in comedy.  I liked that the book started with the character's rocky past and how the love birds were friends at first who worked in New York.  Each of them would text back and forth while negotiating their new romantic lives. It's so cute! and I think it got turned into a movie! 

Here is another book whose character works in comedy.
