I can remember much how April started. Feels like a decade ago. All I can remember is I just started reading Rasa in Aesthetics (2008) by Priyadarshi Patnaik. Then I wrote a lengthy review of the book and sent it out to The Suryakanta (great website, fyi) and haven’t got any response from them. I only attended Tempakultura’s Writer’s Club once in early April. Had a very mundane ‘Ied, nothing festive. Finished Solo Leveling manhwa—it’s very run-of-the-mill feel-good regular shounen premise, and I am planning to make a whole essay about it. Haven’t really went out much because Jimbaran is incredibly cozy with my girlfriend in it. Published three writings, a poem collection and two essays, got into a whole community of aspiring writers. Only wrote three stuff for the blog, feeling that I haven’t really exhausted my creative juice yet. Printed my second edition of Ékritur but haven’t printed the zine yet for the masses. Watched through 3 Body Problems and a couple seasons of Gilmore Girls. Only read two other books—haven’t really read that much this month. Applying for jobs and practically lost track of them too. Came into a couple interview—disappointing ones. Met Rio Johan after almost 6 years(!). Got his sign on my Rekayasa Buah too! Too bad I don’t have my Ibu Susu with me.

Things that happened on this month is already felt like it had been happening for months. This month has been…noisy. Sporadic, even.

Duh Gusti, paringono stability.
