How much do you love me, a million bushels?
Oh, a lot more than that, Oh, a lot more.

And tomorrow maybe only half a bushel?
Tomorrow maybe not even a half a bushel.

And is this your heart arithmetic?
This is the way the wind measures the weather.

Health stuff

Much better. The acupuncture treatment on Monday brought down the pain to my new normal of 4.5-5 and the menopausal symptoms have receded too with the pain going down. 

Teacher stuff

I’m two and half weeks ahead in writing the content. I have all the classes for February done. First week of March is the spring break. I’m up to the class of March 9th now. I have an online class later this afternoon on analyzing and mapping processus, specifically Reader’s advisory. I love that stuff. I lose touch with time when I’m mapping. 

Reading

Almost done with The Apothecary Diaries 3   It’s still very good and even more edge of my seat storyline. There were three big reveals. One was easy to guess, the other a little less so but there were crumbs hinting to the truth and one totally caught me off guard. Hence the edge of my seat storyline. Book 4 has arrived. The cover is really gorgeous

I also read because I put it on the list of graphic novels for the students to choose for the second term papers The Alchemist  by Paulo Coelho. I am not a fan of mystical, philosophical type of writing to begin with.The manhua adaptation is well done. The drawings are really nice, black and white. The desert, the decor are gorgeous. 

Watching

I’m up to 21/36 on my rewatching of The ingenious one. I also took a look at Unveil : Jadewind because of the posts on my cdrama X timeline.  I watched the first case it’s good. I’ll wait until it’s almost done airing before going back. 

Crafting

Last Friday crafting evening was devoted to cross-stitching the fox design. I’m also at almost half in the baby blanket. No crafting evening this week because of the Valentine thing day.

asuraid: A chibi version of Sylvie, an original Genshin Character, smiling at the camera. (neutral)
[personal profile] asuraid
... aka playing as sylvie in this kinda game is. fun, mostly because they ... have a reason to comment, talk to me in my head. i brought it up a little in a different blog post but munbonding/living character kinda describes what sylvie is to my brain--a companion. one im very aware is just my OC blorbo but who i like talking to/they yap on their own!!!

and it's been fun playing animal crossing and them having a reason to actively comment as i play for what house layouts they want, or items, or clothing. even if the gameplay mostly falls to me cause ... well, im playing--it's fun to just have them pick out what they want for clothing and such

all the times i have played animal crossing, it's been as myself ... in my old, old save file i did make a secondary villager that was my old comfort OC who also was a chatter in my skull, i don't remember ever really playing as him to really go through the experience. idk what makes animal crossing different from me using a sylvie skin in minecraft, but i guess it's because i see ... Them in the game, not just a first-person POV (so 'me')

then again i guess it was the same when playing bg3, that was Sylvie i was playing as ... so it's them humming and hawing as they think about what dialogue choices to do, and me just doing the combat part

look at my ingame sylvies (order: bg3, spirit city, animal crossing, genshin) )

Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

What the hell sort of question is that? Of course I'd pay up! I have money, pride, and my teeth, and of the three, I can least afford to lose the last. Wouldn't almost anybody submit to the shakedown? That's how protection rackets work, after all - everybody does the same math and comes to the same conclusion as I just did.

(Of course, the context was "I think this company was rude to me over the phone, therefore I decided to live without hot water and heating because I have my principles" so, you know, I guess we have different approaches to life?)

Sweetie, our 14-lb Kliban cat (dark gray and black tabby) hasn't been feeling well. She was upchucking yesterday, not furballs, and I think she may be allergic to the food. But this morning we couldn't find her at all -- looked downstairs and main floor -- until the SU located her in the most inaccessible place in the house: on the old shag rug under the desk in the library/not so spare room. There, she's under a large desk and blocked in by a large chair and neither of us are up to digging her out. She is reasonably alert, so we're waiting for her to emerge at some point. I've put out water for her, and food that I know she can eat (non fish). And now we wait.

Meanwhile, there's a gland at the top of my throat that is trying to decide if it's swollen or not.

CanCon in the age of Heated Rivalry

CanCon, for the uninitiated in the ways of Canadian media, is Canadian Content, a percentage of which is mandated in Canada in much the same way Animaniacs used to have edutainment chunks, and for much the same reason -- the betterment of the public.

Noncon CanCon is when you're trying to avoid all mentions of That Show and it still crosses your social media feeds.

Dubcon CanCon is when it's Hudson Williams doing a photoshoot.

I am not going to throw a CanCon Consent Fest because I feel obligated to read everything people submit for fests I run and a) I don't wanna have to read fic for the gay hockey show and b) Noncon generally moves me in the direction of the back button. But if someone else throws a fest, I will write dubcon for at least two of my Canadian fandoms.
linky: Saki and Jin talking at a table. (Sukeban Deka: Saki + Jin - Talk)
[personal profile] linky posting in [community profile] halfamoon
For today I have a self-rec of a fic I did centering Saki from Sukeban Deka that I feel fits into the prompt of "The Explorer".

Title: Whims of Youth
Fandom: Sukeban Deka
Pairing/Characters: Saki/Jin
Rating: T
Word count: 1466
Content Notes: Age Gap, Non-Consensual Kissing Initiated Via Saki, Canon-Typical Mentions of Teacher/Student Relationships, Teen Crush, Complicated Feelings, Developing Feelings, Introspection
Summary: This was a gamble. Saki didn’t know how Jin was going to react.

DEAR ABBY: It seems that everywhere I go, people expect tips. Yesterday, I pulled up to the drive-through at a cookie store, and before I paid or was handed my cookies, the clerk asked, "Would you like to leave a tip?" My niece recently told me that after she left a tip at a restaurant, the server followed her outside and asked if she hadn't been a very good server because the tip was small. I can give you more examples just from my family regarding their experience with tipping.

In this economy, I don't feel the 20% rule should apply. For the price of a lunch for two at a sit-down restaurant these days, the tip costs as much as a small entree. When I go through a drive-through, I don't feel I need to tip because I'm not inside using their facility. But if I don't, I get a disappointed look from the gal who gets paid to make and hand me my drink. What are your thoughts? -- TIPPED OUT IN IDAHO
