April 2015 Recap

So I was looking back at the April recap from a year ago, and something in it immediately caught my eye: I was in a reading slump then, and I sort of hit one this April, too. I've been taking a job-related course that's mostly online but required 16 hours of real classroom time last month, and though that doesn't sound like a lot, when you haven't been in school in a looooong time, it sends you in a bit of a spin, lol. I've had less time than usual for reading and blogging lately, but I'm working on getting back on track. Having to do without both reading and blogging for a brief stint made me think of this Simpsons Treehouse of Horror segment, which parodies The Shining and in which Homer goes bonkers because he's without TV and beer:

At least I've been able to keep up with two very important shows on the TV front: Outlander and Game of Thrones! I was actually waffling on shelling out the extra $$$ for Starz for 3 months because Outlander is the only thing I watch on the channel, until, in a moment of clarity, I was like, WTF am I thinking? It's Jamie!

It was also our third blogoversary on April 11! If you ask me where 3 years have gone, I have no clue, lol.
