One of my fave work people resigned today and I’m sad. 😔

Tonight’s #filmfriday is My Cousin Vinny

A new WIP. How many does that make now, Maree? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Native Floras of Southern Thedas by BeesOnToast - pattern here: ko-fi.com/s/c272f1a408 #crossstitch #dragonage

I just sneezed and I think I offended his whole bloodline. Bro, we got you from Facebook. (As a kitten, to be clear.

Went to an art exhibition today in a tiny South Otago/Southland town called Waikawa. It’s called Art at the Edge of the World and there was some truly lovely art. HOWEVER the best part of the day was this sign on the cafe we stopped at for coffee:

Tonight’s #filmfriday is De-Lovely the 2004 Cole Porter biopic. I also have the Cary Grant one so that might be another viewing. I did fall down a rabbit hole yesterday reading about Cary Grant’s relationship with Randolph Scott. They were roommates. For 10 years.

He’s doing his best.

It still needs to be waged and pressed but my first finish for 2026. #crossstitch #lilcat

This movie is at least 30 minutes too long.

Tonight’s #filmfriday is Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning and it is exactly as dumb as I expected. Though with more flashbacks.

I don’t know how it would work but the greatest song of all time, which is The Devil Went Down to Georgia (I will accept neither criticism nor discussion) OR The Riders of Rohan theme from lord of the Rings

I think I should give up driving. Got a speeding ticket yesterday and just had a (luckily minor) crash in the hospital car park. No damage to my car and all minor damage into the other car. parties are fine. My fault so my insurance will take the hit but like. WTF.

The surgery went well and my forever girl is home. She doesn’t look too bad considering half her nose is gone but I’ll wait till it’s healed up before I take any pix.

Giving an older WIP some love… Kitchen Alphabet designed by Ellen Maurer Stroh. I know this is an older OLDER WIP because it’s on 18-ct aida. Past me was a dick. #crossstitch #wip

Minrathous in my first play through as I was romancing Neve, and Trevino in my second to see the difference. I think I’d choose Treviso in future play throughs.

Sometimes you want to go where you know everybody’s name… #books #reading #thehobbit

Today is the day. My forever girl is going to the vet for her nose job. Please send any and all good thoughts our way.

Their breakfast is late. I’m going to die, aren’t I.

NO. WIRE HANGERS. EVERRRRR

Also I got Domino’s for tea and ordered some of the deep fried cheese bites - I could quite happily just have a bunch of those - yummmm

The 80s TV movie vibes are VERY strong.

Tonight’s #filmfriday is Mommie Dearest, which I’ve never seen. I found it for $2 in an Op Shop and could not pass it up.

22deg Celsius is too warm for 9pm. Our kitchen faces west and I could have started a side hustle with a sauna

My brain cell: “we need something stupid to watch. Something shooty-shooty”. So I’m watching SWAT - the Colin Farrell movie, not the TV show. And it is JUST what I need.

You know when you’re sitting in your car scrolling Instagram reels and it’s raining and kind of cosy but your stuff lives inside the house and so you have to get OUT of your car, even though you kind of don’t want to move but you also want to see your stuff? Yeah.

Son of Mine and I finally watched Sinners. Holy crap it’s good. SO GOOD.

A bookshop called Maslow’s Hierarchy of Reads

@atomicboop.bsky.social watching now. Last nights second episode which feels a bit fillery

I have - once again - made a purchase as a grown woman with free will and Afterpay. I have the same paperbacks but they’re getting a little worn. So…….. MY PRECIOUSSSS

@atomicboop.bsky.social watching last night’s episodes now

@atomicboop.bsky.social I watched last night’s episode but I was at a friends. Those backyards are massive. It looks like a double episode tonight and I’ve started a bit late so will hopefully do a binge tomorrow night.

Son of Mine is 18. On the electoral roll. It is my mission to get him & all his wee friends to vote this year, if I have to drive them to the polling site myself. I can’t do much about the persistent horrors but I can do this. Also I joined The Green Party. I know it’s not a lot but it’s something.

Dragon Age Origins, Awakenings, DA2 and Inquisition - 44 to 45. They were my first video games ever and I bought all three. Fell hard and envy looked back.

Tonight’s #filmfriday is The Sting. Which I’ve never seen, but as a kid, The Entertainer was one of my favourite pieces of music.

@atomicboop.bsky.social catching up now. Sometimes I feel really sorry for Candace

@atomicboop.bsky.social watching last night’s now - I’m a little behind

@atomicboop.bsky.social watching last night’s episode now

Our tree is still up. It’s just a small one, and because of …. everything I’ve put the lights on. Just for a lil whimsy.

Me, watching The Rip - realises there’s a dog. Immediately go to doesthedogdie.com because I am not about that, the real world is bad enough.

A walk in the park, and some secondhand spelunking treasures.

In what are cats exactly news.

PANNA Cotta, not panda cotta. No pandas would be harmed.
