it's letter posting time!!!! snickfic.dreamwidth.org/1033460.html

I have almost 4k towards my 10k FIAB assignment, and it's still a week until the first deadline. This is honestly a better position than I thought I'd be in right now. I'd love to finish this one 2k assignment this weekend, at least enough to post a draft. TBD.

making progress on my letter. I don't think I want Companion enough to request it, so right now I have Booth, Iskryne, Cuckoo, Red Sonja, and am considering True Detective: Night Country

it seems like a lot of movie execs watched Field of Dreams at a formative age and took away the wrong message. JUST because you make a movie and pour a lot of money into marketing it does not mean they will come.

preaching to the choir here, I know, but in case you would like some up to date research to share with people in your circles: www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...

Loooooooooool

#UnconfinedWalks was the 6.5k canal loop which is lovely at this time of the year.

okay, wrote 617 words of FIAB today. that fic is definitely going to go over wordcount, but I think/hope they will be easy words from here.

extremely polite tap of the paw to inform me that it could be dinnertime

The Book of Lamps and Banners, the fourth Cass Neary book by Elizabeth Hand. It was fun! Aging punk photographer vs white supremicists, techbros (gender neutral), the numinous, and her own bad choices.

bad news pals, I'm supposed to be writing but I'm afraid of my word document

oh really 👀

Autumn movie ranking so far (inspired by @mummering.bsky.social): The Long Walk Him The Conjuring 4. Yeah I thought this one was pretty bad.

me: I'm drowning in FIAB, I definitely cannot do Yuletide also me: ooh someone nominated Companion! and someone else nominated Cuckoo! and someone nominated additional characters for Iskryne AND Kyle Murchison Booth!

YULETIDE TAGSET 👏 👏 👏👏👏

Fucking incredible quote. With quotes like these, the article must write itself. (from "Club Denali" by Krakauer.)

Look I know it'll shock you to know this, but we are almost out of archeologists AGAIN. Do you know any archeologists? Are they willing to be matched with a LEGO team? Please send 'em our way we need all hands on deck (STILL!) We have had 585 requests for archeologists 🫠 forms.gle/PU3x7oayXGr3...

Okay, my all time most listened is just the Gallaghers and like some Lord Huron. I knew this. Next time I'll try one of the annual playlists instead lol.

woke up 1.5 hours too early AGAIN.

posted my thoughts on the latest Cass Neary book and also Into Thin Air and several other mountaineering books I've been reading snickfic.dreamwidth.org/1032756.html

okay, fourth Cass Neary book was good. I'm glad Elizabeth Hand understands that an essential element of these books is Cass suffering in icy cold weather.

I would enjoy squares.org more if the logic for what counts as a main word and what doesn't made any kind of sense. Words that counted today: pothos onos fons nota nous Words that didn't count today: punt puns thou petard ????

okay, was going to write but instead I'm going to eat popcorn and see if I can finish this Cass Neary novel

amazing choices made here www.instagram.com/p/DOtS9-XgHo6/

domestic top ten box office last weekend: 4 horror movies 1 anime 1 live action kids movie 1 Tswift documentary... thing 1 Avatar rerelease 2 other first run dramas

Phone case and screen protectors acquired!! Can worry slightly less now about breaking my phone with the same retail price as my computer.

I am just not getting enough sleep.

This looks promising. The bits I saw in the Amazon preview were very atmospheric and spooky.

I'm sorry, but for budget reasons, your chariot to the afterlife is scheduled to be pulled by a chicken.

okay, I wrote 585 words today. on one hand maybe I'm finally getting traction. otoh now it's back to work tomorrow. tbd.

I put pork shoulder in this borscht because it was what I had, but it's very tasty actually

Had anyone here been to one of Regal's classics series last month or screams series this month? Did they show previews in front of the movies?

#UnconfinedWalks explored new trail today!

I have watched a lot of horror movies and can handle most jump scares these days, but Hell House LLC: Carmichael Manor is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. I've been trying to watch it for like a year.

The whole family on the couch

okay, if I'm not going to write, then I might as well go to the grocery store

not a great year overall, but I have to say Liam and Noel holding hands has improved it a lot for me personally www.tumblr.com/riverlarking...

One of the best parts of the day job is putting on document displays. Today, I got to show off this gorgeous 15th-century illuminated statute book [TNA E 164/10] #LegalRecords

never has bluesky been more 38 years old than in the replies to this post

I never even got all the way through TTPD. I don't know if I have it in me to try the new one.

Me to coworker just now: I don't care about the severity of the project, I just care about the difficulty of writing an email about it.

At a point rn where if i want internet conversations about things I care about I kind of have to start them myself (ie write a DW post). Tiring.
