I spent far too much time on airplanes in April and watched way too much TV and film because of it.

Canada’s Pro Women’s Soccer League, the Northern Super League (NSL), is kicking off its debut season in just over a week. It’s launching with six teams spreading from coast to coast in Canada, from Vancouver to Halifax. This is the first attempt at professional women’s soccer in Canada in over a decade when the USL W-League shut down in 2015.

I’m off traveling for a good chunk of April, so I wanted to finish this media diet in a timely fashion. I know I won’t get to it the moment I’m on the road. It was great to read a few books in the same month again after January was dominated by Stormlight Archives, causing me to be less excited about reading in February.

I guess I am turning into a soccer blogger! After writing about the Vancouver Whitecaps’ offseason, I am returning to discuss how the international break impacts different matches this weekend in MLS.

My reading in January was dominated entirely by finishing Wind and Truth. It was such a slog at times, so I was so happy to move on to reading other books in February! I made a great dent in watching through all the Oscar nominated films I missed too. Was very happy to see Anora win, it was my favorite of 2024!
