In one (1)!! specific way — I suspect I already know the answer to this, because unlike most of fandom I did actually watch the season 1 that the Kates gave me and not the season 1 in my head, but new season new possibilities however extremely slight for disappointment!

Anyway, does s2 end with Cath and Dulcie still together y/n.

Spoilers in comments for, yknow, whether the s2 ends with Cath and Dulcie still together.

('Kimara can't you spoil that for yourself' not without seeing both shitty opinions on Cath and also spoilers for other things, so no.)

We went and saw Project Hail Mary this afternoon. It was terrific. I loved it.

You can read my (positive and spoilery) reactions to the Project Hail Mary book at this post from 2024.

If spoilers matter to you, I recommend very strongly going in as unspoiled as possible, including not watching the trailer.

( Talking about the movie some more, and movie vs book )

If you have a friend or family member is a fan of a hockey team in the Pacific Division, please check on them.

(I haven't even checked the scores or standings, just seen the reactions and something about an Oilers player putting out a statement about a loss)

Hi! I'm new here! A little late but sharing pics of my planner, it's a custom pre-printed from So Typical Me (as I said in a comment here, I'm a creative person trapped in a body that can't draw for s*** so I like preprinted, though I'm sad at the same layout EVERY week. Oh well)

omgggggg that was the cough that wouldn't leave, urgh.

Let's see...
- whirlwind week of interviewing 3 candidates was horrible, but we have actually successfully hired 2 of them, and I'm pretty excited!
- then it was a week where Miss R got sick about halfway through the week, which threw everything off-balance. I was coughing a bit and descending into illness, but it was also the weekend of the comics pop-up so I just kind of .... pushed through it.... which is ultimately not great, because this week I really should have just called out from work, but instead I dragged myself into school and taught my classes while hacking my lungs out, yay. (I was masked and made sure to stay 6+ feet distant, and I only had to teach 3 classes, so it's actually not *that* bad. And I stayed in my car in-between classes so that I wouldn't infect anyone.) Wed-Friday was parent teacher conferences on Zoom, which was its own flavor of miserable, but at least I wasn't infecting anyone, and I did get to catch up on some work on Thursday. Friday afternoon (yesterday?!!) was when I finally started feeling better and getting energy back. And Miss R finally felt good enough to go back to school after missing 9 days, so ... yay!
- Just in time for the resumption of Chinese school today, and tomorrow Miss R has a joint minecraft-themed birthday party! Wow she is entering the double digits!!! I printed a bunch of minecraft block textures at work and last night I made some minecraft cubes (crafting table, furnace, cake, and chest).

Spouse is awesome and has made a Creeper piñata :)

So tomorrow is the big party!

Gotta remember to do tomorrow morning:
- make Minecraft cake
- buy candy to fill into Creeper
- maybe buy some chips/salsa? uncertain
- maybe buy some gluesticks and tape?
- disambiguate and put colored cubes in bags?

Gotta remember to bring:
- tape!!!
- boxes, made
- boxes, raw
- scissors and maybe exacto knife. ruler
- markers for folks who want to draw directly on the boxes
- cake!
- creeper!
- bandana for piñata hitting
- picnic blanket or tablecloth
- foods and snaxxx (cheese balls, chips & salsa)

Oh, I finished the Community Center in Stardew Valley on Year 2 Summer day 10, so now.... I've got nothing to do except to wait for Grandpa's approval, I guess. (I'm so disinterested in the late-game stuff lbr)

My episode 10 notes didn't get saved :/ But I loved the scene where Lito is at the audition, and Sun really needs his help, and he ends up making the sidecar for her and saving the day. I thought for sure he blew the audition, but then Sun of all people helps him channel that loneliness. Really lovely twist, and it was nice to see Sun and Lito connect when I don't think they have scenes together very often.

The hollywood party! It was so fascinating to see it be so overwhelming for Lito, who I already think of as such a big movie star. The show does a great job of capturing how new things feel now that Lito is trying to be himself and not just some character all the time, but this party really was all about playing your part and being fake. I loved the beautiful scene at the beach with Hernando, where Lito really could feel like himself.

It was so sad to see Capheus' lovely moment get ruined but the speech was great. He really has some of the best lines.

But I celebrated it today.

Started out with breakfast and coffee and showering and dressing and heading to my Al-anon meeting. It was small but good.

The S and G and I went to a different diner for lunch. I got French onion soup, whihc was good but not as good as the other diner. Then I went home via the 12 bus to Parsons Blvd. It was a nice springlike day.

Got home and went to the Starsky and Hutch episode watch and chat. I actually got to see a part of the episode, The Collector. Then we chatted until I left at 5:15.

I got ready to go meet the Kid and her boyfriend and

mashfanficchick at Applebees in Astoria. That meant taking the 66 bus.

The bus was running with delays for some reason, and I waited about half an hour for it to show up. I was afraid I would be late meeting the Kid, but I got there right on time, and just as she and her boyfriend were arriving. (

mashfanficchick had called me and said ze would be late). They had a big bouquet of flowers for me.

We got seated and ordered drinks. When

mashfanficchick texted to say ze would be there in 15 minutes we ordered food (Ze had texted me zer order)

The food was excellent, and the Kid only a little annoying with her lecturing me about my weight and finances. I know she only does it cause she loves me.

I got dessert, and then we left. I took the 66 home again, only had to wait 7 minutes this time.

I got home around 10:00, and fed the pets and put the flowers in a vase. I Teamed the FWiB and we talked for a little less than an hour.

Then I frantically played solitaire cause I had an event that was ending at 12:00. I finished with literally one minute to spare!

And now it's time for bed.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. The Kid.

3.

4. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.

5. My meetings and the people there.

6. Finished that solitaire event on time.

Is there a retelling of Sleeping Beauty (the general plotline, not the ballet specifically) in any media that deals with the whole castle being asleep for a hundred years?

Like, I assume that A Castle is a significant economic unit, and having it fuck off behind a hedge for five generations, and then pop back into life has some effects on the surrounding countryside? (I guess in the ballet they put the whole kingdom to sleep? WHICH I ALSO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT!)

Like your daughter is a maid in the castle, then poof! behind a hedge! But then she's back to meet her great grand nieces?

What if you had a financial relationship with the castle?

What if the neighbouring duke or whatever wanted your land? I assume he'd just take it, at that point, but then poof! the castle's back?

But also, the fey showing up and doing things seems to be normal and expected in this universe, so maybe people are just used to it, and have contingency plans for people stuck sleeping behind a hedge for five generations?

Anyway, is there like a novel that deals with this? If not Sleeping Beauty directly, then something similar, where it's a whole bunch of people forming a significant political and economic unit essentially yeeted out of time for a hundred years?

(Hard no on anything that involves the rapey version of Sleeping Beauty.)

1. It's still supposed to be unseasonably warm next week, but today seems to be a little break in the weather. When I went out for my walk this morning, it was a bit foggy (though it had burned off by the time I got home), and then while it was sunny for a while midday, around 2pm it got overcast again and has stayed that way. It was really foggy again when we took our walk tonight, too.

2. I made a rhubarb pie earlier and we're going to have some of that for dessert. We still have a bunch of baggies of chopped rhubarb in the freezer from when we were buying it from the farmers market last year lol.

3. Ollie loves to snuggle on my clothes. :)

As Keith Giffen began to pull back, the longest era of Justice League Quarterly (#4-11) would feature other writers following in Giffen’s footsteps…as best they could. The fluid tone of the Giffen League, the way it could lurch from goofy meta to holocaustic grimness and everything in between, could be a challenge to imitate.

Bus reroutes, long detours, long lines, slow crowds, and other such inconveniences are made easier with a friend there with you for commiserations and conversations.

The Smithsonian’s African American museum deserves two days to really take in, but we managed a decent overview with about six hours, minus 30 for lunch. The building used every minute of all the years it took to design and construct.

Today has not been a good day for Seattle sports, but the watch party was fun. I wasn't the only one who got there early for the merch pop up. Most of the shirts and hoodies were only in the less-popular sizes, lotta XXLs. They did have a t shirt in my size, and it was 100% a return. I paid the full price of [redacted] for a t shirt that has definitely been worn and also washed by someone else before. But, they had it so I got it.

I'm also glad I went early because the patio the event was on did run out of seating. People were standing next to the TV to the left of this shot:

The pop up had a Jackson jersey and I was good and did not buy my first hockey jersey. I am not buying a Jackson jersey unless they get a start or Seattle resigns them, in which was I'll be sad that I didn't get an inaugural jersey.

(CJ Jackson is openly NB, and a 3rd goalie for Seattle. I really want a jersey of Seattle's NB goalie, but no, not unless they stay in Seattle next year)

There was a girl there who said she was 'very new to hockey', but her clothes were in all Torrent colors, her handmade jewelry was in Torrent colors, she has a Torrent itabag and she'd made 'trinkets' to hand out, glass pendants she'd made in Torrent colors.

Pendant and also event swag:

Torrent have a lot of momentum. They sell out areas nearly 3x the size of the Boston Fleet's home arena. I really hope the team do just a little better to not lose some of that support.

OMG Charlotte Stant's fic is SO FUCKING GOOD! Heaven is a Bedroom - Shane's a mormon missionary door-knocking with his fellow-elder Hayden and Ilya and Marley are roommates living in a house on their route. It's funny, incredibly hot, poignant and the most incredible complete AU, just wonderful writing. I want to have this fic's babies.
