Just as I was getting ready to go to bed at 130 AM the storm did something that scared me. You know how your lights flicker off and on because the power lines are galloping? It did it for about three minutes before failing. I was afraid something might have overloaded and caught fire (it didn't). Now it's too hot to sleep but raining too hard to open a window and my blood sugar is being stupid so I have to pee 4 times between bed time and 6 AM when the power finally turns on.

I said today can you believe it was the last week of class and several said 'thank god.' I know the feeling but on the other hand it stings.

my Indian cowoker brought in a curried egg dish and coconut rice filled with cardamon and cinnamon and so I had to have elevensies. I don't make the rules.

I came home to one story rejection but also one story accepted so I'm taking that as a win.

I'm too exhausted to think of anything for Tuesday's fannish 50. I am looking for thoughts, thinking of doing yet another con panel at a pop culture. I was thinking about the history of women writing horror. Would that be interesting? Maybe link it up with women mangaka/animators because surely there have to be some.

Titre : Gilbert le hérisson sans piquants
Auteures : Coraline Renaud & Solène Moreau
Langue : français
Type : album jeunesse
Genre : métaphore animalière

1ère parution :
Édition : n/a
Format : horizontal à couverture dure,

(bonus fidélité à la microlibrairie d'autoédition)

Parmi une portée de petits hérissons normaux, un naît sans piquants. Sa différence est-elle une chance ou un handicap ? personne n'a de réponse claire et il se met en quête de réponses.
(Dans la nature, ça serait un handicap, point. Tu vas te faire manger par un prédateur. Mais en métaphore...)

J'ai bien aimé la construction, mais comme c'est pour des petits enfants la conclusion m'embête un peu beaucoup ?? je ne sais pas, s'il y avait une phrase en plus sur le choix ça passerait mieux ?

One of the aims of the tour we've been on was to look at the sites of various classic WWII air war films and get a proper perspective on them.

My hair is no longer washed out color and grey. The bad news I'm 98% sure someone put black cherry dye in my violet box. Because this sure as shit ain't purple (and this is a brand and color I use often) but it IS definitely cherry red. Eye rolls. Still better than it was.

I'm 100% over everything.

At least the majors did well on the label the organs exam.

And I did get my holter monitor UPSed off.

We decided as a group we're going to do water aerobics next monday by ourselves. That feels good. I need this pool time

I'm thinking of not doing

intoabar this time but I keep reminding myself it DOES NOT have to be a freaking epic.

I got a disappointing email today. They canceled the writing contest/anthology for the Bourbon City Steampunk fest. I was the only applicant. Awww. They said I could do a reading if I want. I'll put that back on them. If they want me to fill that slotted time with a reading I sure can. If not, that's fine too. I won't be disappointed not to have to read. I am sorry there won't be a paying anthology though. But who knows this could be a networking opportunity for me.

It's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is # A song that reminds you of your favorite season. Boy I read that wrong. I thought it said all seasons. Ah well. Share my friends, share

( There is one that easily comes to mind )

here's the whole prompt list

Further on, as the corridor turns once more, is a locked door. This leads to the so-named inner garden, which is the palace courtyard. The garden may be entered only by invitation of the Chara or one of his council lords. It is intended as private place of restoration from the heavy duties of the Chara and the council lords.

The garden is a green area of grasses and hedges, in the Emorian fashion of gardens of pleasure. Towards the back of the garden is a small grove of trees. The tallest of these trees is father to the rest. Imported as a sapling from Koretia, it was replanted by the very hands of the Chara Peter.

Surrounding the garden are the four wings of the palace; this is the only place where all four wings can be seen at once. The garden is sunken to the original level of the hill, which causes the West Wing to loom above it. Only the remaining wings of the palace, though, are two-storeyed.

A break between the South Wing and the East Wing is gated and heavily guarded. It offers a splendid view of the black border mountains to the south.

[Translator's note: The protagonists of Blood Vow and Law of Vengeance keep bumping into each other in the inner garden, alas.]

I've been wanting to do music posts for a while, but I've kept putting it off, because... Well, it's doubtful people will be interested since 95% of what I post is gonna be country, and most of my f-list don't listen to country. So I guess this will mostly be for my own benefit, but I hope at least someone might find something they like.

I'm going to just post 4 or 5 songs each time, and probably an instrumental track, because I love great picking.

Life decided some (internet) things were not meant to be (ficathons becoming drabblethons), but it could be worse IRL.

In honour of

3weeks4dreamwidth,

polyamships is doing a little event.

25 April: What is/are your current favorite poly ship/s? Want to share a little bit about them with us?

At the moment, I'm spinning

Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot (The Adventures of Sir Lancelot)
It's honestly amazing a show for children from the 50s manages to handle the Guinevere/Lancelot side of things in a thoughtful manner, while also not going all the way with it because... they both love their King so much. Basically, Guinevere and Arthur have two hands and they can use them, godammit!

Didier/Juliette/The Marquis (Ich und die Kaiserin)
Niche af. I like to think, now that Didier has ascended to conductor (and possibly can show off his own compositions), he can get an assistant, and therefore more time! And he can join Juliette and her dummy Marquis on it.

Buffo/Erik/Julie/Mark (The Last Performance)
So.
Erik loves Julie, who loves Mark. But Buffo loves Julie (and Erik, apparently, albeit in a more love-hate way). Erik has one of those hate relationships with Buffo (that we can fix ;) ) and is way to handsy with Mark. Got it?
Very messy, very angsty, and everything could be fixed if they all kissed.

George/Gilda/Tom (Design for Living)
Rewatched recently and I'm back to spinning them in my brain. Notable for being a movie (originally a play, the London version had Anton Walbrook!) from the 1930s that has the girl getting both boys. The chemistry is just off the charts.

Felicitas/Leo/Ulrich (Flesh and the Devil)
Another movie in which its central relationships could be fixed if they all kissed. Felicitas has two hands and Leo and Ulrich should just kiss already.

(Shoutouts to Rick/Ilsa/Victor of Casablanca fame and C.K. Dexter Haven/Mike/Elizabeth/Tracy of The Philadelphia Story fame!)

(Shall always call C.K Dezter Haven as C.K. Dexter Haven because that's how it should be >:3 )
