1. a fannish item

I have an OG 1977 Star Wars soundtrack vinyl record that my dad gave me a couple of years ago.

2. something round

I collect rock spheres, I got a new little snowflake obsidian one for Christmas.

3. something that is your favorite color

My favorite color is green, and I'm still drinking my coffee out of a green Christmas mug.

4. the last game you played (video, phone, table top, etc.)

Sudoku on my phone.

5. a book you are currently reading

I'm getting towards the end of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton, and also started Star Wars: Most Wanted by Rae Carson.

6. album art of the first song that comes up on shuffle

I don't do shuffle. Last thing I listened to was 'Dos Oruguitas' from Encanto.

7. the last movie you watched

Encanto

8. TV show you're currently watching

I just started a rewatch of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (In case it isn't obvious, I just got Disney+, lol)

That's going to be one heck of a rewatch for Clone Wars, lucky you! Disney+ has The Mandalorian as well, doesn't it? I'm so tempted to bushwhack Comcast into giving me Disney+ ... Collecting rock spheres sounds worthwhile; I'm betting igneous ones?

[justanorthernlight]

I put off subscribing to D+ for so long because it was sports season and I had one streaming package for that, and I already barely use my Netflix and Amazon Prime stuff and did I really need another streaming service, but now that my team has embarrassed themselves out of the playoffs (as per usual) I can cancel that one and feel less bad about adding a new one :)

The Mandalorian is on my 'to watch eventually' list (as are all the Marvel shows), but my attention span for new media is a little bad right now, 20 minute episodes I've already seen are about what I can handle.

I collect all kinds of rock spheres (and non-spherical rocks as well!) I'm in the process of moving so all except the snowflake obsidian are boxed up right now, off the top of my head I have spheres of amethyst, septarian (which is nicknamed 'dragon stone' or 'dragon's egg', very cool to look at), merlinite, orthoceras (both fossils), and one that is banded green argonite and petrified wood (it looks just like a green and brown Jupiter, it's one of my favorites).

I also bought a mystery green and red sphere over the summer, the guy who sold it to me couldn't remember what it was and I didn't get around to looking it up. And not a rock but I have a small sphere of pure copper that is just incredibly satisfying to hold :)

I liked the drabble and I still have all my Star Wars vinyl records, that's a fun gift.

[justanorthernlight]

Thank you!

I don't have a record player to play it on, but I like having it anyways :)

[cornerofmadness]

I hear you. I no longer have a record player either though dad does.

[justanorthernlight]

I think my grandma had a combined record and 8-track player in her basement.

[cornerofmadness]

very possible. Pretty sure my uncle had one when I was a kid

[seleneheart]

Oh wow, I used to have that Star Wars vinyl too! Mine is long gone though.

[justanorthernlight]

My dad was going to get rid of it with the rest of his vinyl collection... I told him I'd hang on to it for him :) He passed away over the summer, I'm still waiting to stumble over the Star Wars action figures he kept in their original packaging and was always threatening to sell on ebay.
