Hello. I'm odd. I'm one of those never-olds, eternal youth acquired by being unapologetically curious. I read a lot (I work in a library so it comes with the territory) and according to Spotify I primarily listen to Witch House and Grave Wave. I love math and art equally which is reflected in pretty much everything I do.

## What is the Monthly Theme Project? The Monthly Theme Project is an ongoing endeavor to primarily engage with video games, books, and other various media that are thematically linked. *Note - There will be plenty of off-theme things mixed in throughout the month so there'll still be something here for you even if you don't find this month's theme appealing.* ## Okay, but why? Because it's fun. ## Neat! So what's this month's theme all about? For this month's theme, ***A Chance of Mushroom Rain***, we'll be checking out media featuring all kinds of **fungi and/or mycelium** and the like, alongside some of the places you tend to find them: think cloudy skies and **rain** drizzling down as you make your way along a game trail through a tired but dense **forest**. You pass many fallen wooden giants and notice that they are studded with strange growths of all shapes and colors that eerily seem to revel in the **decay**. ***A Chance of Mushroom Rain*** will run from April 1st until April 30th. # So Far This Month ## Upcoming (not yet finalized) > • __The Low, Low Woods__ by Carmen Maria Machado (book) > • __The Girl with All the Gifts__ by M. R. Carey (book) > • __The Fireman__ by Joe Hill (book) > • Risk of Rain 2 (game) > • Smushi Come Home (game) > • *Seven Samurai* (film) > • *Phantom Thread* (film) > • *The Northman* (film)
