a brief surfacing
Jun. 28th, 2025 09:49 amkatarikWas at the queer youth group I volunteer at last night and the youth came in and were immediately like 'KPOP DEMON HUNTERS!!!' and, you know, the trailer looked cool, I've heard good things, and anyway the youth get to watch what they want to as long as they promise it's appropriately rated. So we put it on.
I have listened to the opening song six times in the subsequent twelve hours. I don't like all the songs in here, but "How It's Done" is absolutely an earworm, and it's an excellent example of how to effectively layer multiple voices. (Alcor Star Systems on Youtube has lyric videos which translate the Korean!)
I want the story where Rumi dodged the entire friend-breakup plotline by just TALKING to her friends like an ADULT, but I don't want to have to write it.
The worldbuilding is pretty shallow; it follows the tropes it's doing closely and there's no twist, which is both a feature and a bug; and the love interest is meh, but it's a very pretty movie with good female friendship and I am entirely here for the core concept of 'Jem and the Holograms but they're also Slayers'.

wasted Effort....
Jun. 26th, 2025 11:46 ammdehnersA couple of yrs ago my SIL told me if I wanted to plant anything in the front garden I could. I quickly found planting a handful of extra seedlings meant I was also responsible for the bed's upkeep. I was annoyed but I did, well except when my health "hiccups". When that happens she has to pull herself away from Q Anon sites and help out....usually "accidently" pulling up or damaging flowers, sometimes even those she planted. This month I had surgery and was not to bend over or pick up "anything weighing more than a 1/2 gallon of milk". She showed her disappointment with my laziness by basically weeding about a quarter of the garden, ripping up some Snapdragons and a Bee Balm. She also put their garbage out but not mine. Needless to say I put it out myself(something that normally isn't a big deal) and now I have a silver dollar sized wheal on my spine...guess something pulled open. The md said just to watch it and if it changes colour, weeps or gets larger to call them. So far no change ins a couple days. It's itching so it's probably healing.
This sort of thing was why I was hesitant for us to move here but there weren't really any good choices back in Florida. Mostly it's good but it's not good if the central character is unhappy with how her NPC's are performing....

Summer's Here!
Jun. 24th, 2025 12:43 pmmdehnersTemps and Humidity up to normal and above after a wonderfully cool Spring. Spring started or planted have done great without the almost immediate Heat Stress. My only issue is that this yr deer think lilies are tasty(blossoms, not plants) so with the exception of the ones in the far back of the carport garden, all but a single blossom has been munched. Thankfully, last week I cut a just opening tip for the Hearth mantle and all are fully open!
Surgery went well and the spinal implant is doing well. I've more Energy than usual. One side effect I noticed with the temp tester implant and THANKFULLY less with the permanent one is that moving Energy, esp up the spine is literally shocking. Grounding works as always but moving Energy up is problematic. Right now the best working is to leave the spinal column alone and work around it. Not very efficient. Should test if those shocks deplete implant battery charge;>.....
