The questions were originally suggested by newagebastard.

1. What’s harder to live without, chocolate or alcohol?
I probably like my glass of wine with dinner more.

2. Does the color yellow remind you of anything?
Spring, daffodils, brightness.

3. Who most annoyed you last week?
Democrats who folded.

4. Do you have a cutesy romantic nickname for your partner (or previous partners)?
I sometimes call the cats "honbuns".

5. What is your favorite Stephen King movie?
I've only seen one that I know of. I'm not a scary movie fan, but I watched the first "IT" miniseries long ago and liked it. Scary enough for me.

It's that time of year when I try to stockpile things I'll need in Nov/Dec, so that the closer I get to the holidays, the less I have to go anywhere. Bathroom necessities, kitty litter, make sure I have cleaning products, food that can go into the freezer. Batten down the hatches.

Thinking of a movie I want to stream on Thanksgiving. Maybe, Nobody 2?

Zevachim has been fun, in a very different way than anything in Nezikin was. There's absolutely no relevance whatsoever but that does have its own charms. It does mean, however, I don't have many notes.

Finished the Chiwetel Ejiofor-narrated audiobook of Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and it turns out I had remembered way less of this book than I'd thought?? The parts that had stuck with me were the descriptions of the labyrinthine House and the world within, as the narrator understood it, and more or less the mystery of ( spoilers ahoy. ) Makes a very good audiobook!

Read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a 1962 novella following the titular Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, a political prisoner, through one day of life in a Stalin-era gulag. (Solzhenitsyn himself was a prisoner from 1945 to 1953.) A short but slow read, dense with small, compelling details.

Currently reading The Mother's Recompense by Edith Wharton, a 1925 novel about the return of a prodigal mother to New York and her now-adult daughter after pulling a reverse Ellen Olenska (leaving her husband and moving to Europe) almost two decades earlier. It's interesting how much WWI looms over this book, so far, especially because I associate Wharton so much more with the Gilded Age than the 1920s, which is when most of her novels were actually published.

Have just started Cloistered: My Years as a Nun by Catherine Coldstream, a memoir about joining a strict Carmelite order of contemplative (read: silent) nuns in the north of England as a recently bereaved twenty-something in 1989 and - per the opening scene - literally fleeing into the night to escape it twelve years later.

IDK if this petition will do anything, but here it is (for Canadians), and I've put an explainer, also. I hope there's more protests soon.

While all Lewisia restaurants and businesses pay their employees a living wage (or equivalent thereof for non-living staff), tipping can still be a means of showing one’s appreciation for excellent service when done appropriately. As a general rule, staff prefer tips to be made in the form of accepted currencies, small high-value goods that can be easily taken home with them, or minor boons from lesser entities. Remember, if you and your waiter have to discuss the age at which your first-born child will be offered up, you are negotiating, not tipping, and you should consider waiting for their paid meal period to continue or just leaving cash instead.

Though the sidewalks are oddly and miraculously clear. But plastered with sodden leaf carpets so no, staying in for the duration. Cleared steps and front path though back and elbows objected strongly.

Tried making lentil curry with disappointing results. My spices may have lost their oomph or possibly November allergies have killed my sense of smell, because even the fresh ginger didn't smell or taste very gingery. However, add couscous and reconstituted raisins, a sprinkling of cinnamon, and call it a pulao of sorts.

I shouldn't be having allergies because leaf mold is supposed to become dormant when the temps go below freezing. It has and they haven't, boo hiss.

Japanese Aa! Megamisama manga

You know when you are looking for something but then find something completely unrelated? That was today’s escapade when I was looking for a box of items I brought back from my workplace – and somehow discovered more manga I had stored in the garage.

While populating the bookwall in the library, in the back of my mind I’ve been thinking of a number of books/manga/series that I know I should have – but never showed up. This was one of those series.

The box in the garage had my complete Japanese manga collection of Aa! Megamisama. I don’t know why there is no volume 9 and two volume 10. 🤔

Coincidentally, in the bookwall, right behind my English translations of Oh, My Goddess! there is just enough open space to hold the entire Japanese collection. So I guess this was fated, somehow. Belldandy’s doing, I imagine.

Reposting book reviews from Goodreads because why not? This one is obviously a reread!

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I haven't felt like reading basically anything at all in a long time, and definitely not novel-length fiction. But lately I have started to feel like my brain can hack it, and then I spent a while thinking I just wanted to read something I already loved, and then I stared guiltily at my TBR pile, and then I thought, fuck it, I'm just gonna read Dark Mirror again. Probably haven't read this in, like, fifteen years. So here I am.

This time last year I was chilling out by slaughtering Fastitocalon-Fs with gay abandon for cards and magic, and making progress with Nano.

This morning, I started the day slowly because I didn't have much on work-wise. Husband was due to have a rheumatology appointment this afternoon but he wasn't feeling well enough to make the trip to Broadgreen, so we rescheduled. We did the same with tomorrow's eye appointment, which is going to be the real bugger because appointments at St Paul's are like hens' teeth.

As for the rheumatism, he hasn't been complaining of aches and pains despite the wet weather lately. And I'm sure it was the constant trips to the hospital for blood tests, with a suppressed immune system, that led to him being so ill last winter. Hospitals are full of sick people, after all.

Today he didn't eat much dinner and couldn't face his tea, but did have some toast later. He gets like this sometimes - it's one of his cycles. I'll have to see how he is in the morning.

I used the extra time this afternoon to draft some slides for a couple of sessions Big Boss and I are doing with the wider team to share the PMF. Then a colleague contacted me asking if anything had been done with the project records because their latest status report wasn't showing up on Power BI. When I checked Dynamics all the status reports were gone from ALL the projects. WTAF?! I've raised a Helpdesk job with the CRM team with URGENT written all over it because I'm guessing the window of opportunity for retrieving them is quite small. I also want to know how it could happen in the first place.

Perhaps handing over control wasn't the best idea, after all...

I got an hour on FFXII and I'm past the second Watcher in the Pharos. I deactivated 'knowledge' but I'm not sure how that's affecting me. I can use Magicks, Attack and Items, so I should be fine. But the first group of enemies I met on F61 were pretty tough, despite being several levels below my team.

And I've just watched the first episode of Des, starring David Tennant - I'll watch anything with him in. He's playing a particularly dark and nasty character in this one, but is as totally believable as ever. Based on real events, which is always more horrifying than anything fictional.
