Fortunately, after getting paid for a few freelance jobs, money isn't as tight as it used to be. Going on a hiking trip doesn't sound like a bad idea.

It's been a while since I painted anything, and would love to play on an actual piano for a change, unfortunately, that one is unlikely to happen. One of my short stories been on a backburner for the better part of a year, but I'm not in a headspace for it. Not much of a movie goer/watcher, though I won't say no to recommendations. That entire Marvel thing went completely past me, but the one I saw (Guardians of the Galaxy) was a lot of fun.

I'm kinda behind on my "obtain 1st category in two years" plan, so if there's a chess tournament nearby, I'm in. It's only completing one norm (finishing the tournament with 2000+ Elo IIRC) away for me, so it's worth a try.

Let's put it under 'undecided' for now. :P

EDIT/BTW: That internship is with my old uni, which is even more infuriating.

Any ideas on where you want to go hike? I've been looking at a trip on the Appalachian Trail, myself. I have a cousin who's been out there for a few months, would like to join him for a few weeks potentially.

I'm not a huge fan of the Marvel movies myself, but I really enjoyed Thor: Ragnarok for what it's worth. It's directed by Taika Waititi, and has a different vibe than the majority of them - more in line with Guardians, from what I remember!

And 'undecided' can be freeing. World's your oyster, take some time to yourself and then get after it :)

Probably the Polish side of Bieszczady Mountains and their associated national park, since I wasn't there in four years. It's a great low-effort trail, with negligible light pollution and most of the time you're in a forest, which is exactly my jam.

That looks beautiful! You'll have to let us know if you go :)
