favourite colour: sage green or almost any variation on pink! i've had matching pink bags and phone cases for years, so it's hard to break the habit.
currently reading: i just started 'a prayer for owen meany' by john irving today, and i'm halfway through two books - 'be not afraid of love' by mimi zhu and 'how to read now' by elaine castillo! it's slow going because i often find it hard to read new books (i'm a chronic rereader) but i'm enjoying all three so far.
last song: linger by the cranberries - it's been my Late Spring SongTM for years now.
last movie: i'm horrible at watching movies because i get so distracted, but last weekend i rewatched 'blue gate crossing' for my childhood love gwei lun-mei, and it's a really lovely film.
last series: tv shows are possibly even worse for me than movies - my roommate is watching succession so i've been catching little glimpses of it, if that counts!
sweet, savory, spicy? sweet!
craving: a coffee nanaimo bar
tea or coffee? hot? iced: iced coffee, always. i'm not too picky, but if i don't have somewhere to be in the morning i'll use my roommate's phin filter for vietnamese drip coffee.
currently working on: a jack/nico actors au that only sort of makes sense but mostly just in my head, and a leon/matthew short fic for there's only one you fest!
no idea who's done this already, so tagging @wilderhockey and @crossbackpoke-check if you feel so inclined!
