Dec. 27th, 2025 09:32 amsusandennisWe only had 4 people turn out for volleyball so we only played an hour and it was not very vigorous and then I swam laps for about 20 minutes. There is a problem with the pool - both the water and the air are a few degrees cooler than they should be. And it's the weekend. Assuming no one gets to it, it should be icicles by Monday. I told the front desk but the guy on duty is famous for not doing shit so...
The big headline news is that this morning there was no blood in Biggie's pee!!! It looked just like Julio's pee!!! Yep, I'm very excited to report the findings made in comparing my cats' urine. Turns out that one of the big pluses about tofu litter is the ability to see the color of pee easily. (Biggie and Julio use different litter box real estate. Biggie pees in the back of the box and Julio's partial to the front left side. This has been very helpful in tracking them.)
I finished up a very good book a few days ago (The Wrong Hands by Mark Billingham) and have had a really hard time latching onto a new one but I think I might have found the one... Playing Dead by Elizabeth Greenwood. It's non fiction about people and reasons and methods for faking your own death. I'm just at the beginning but the prolong is really interesting.
I'm at the beginning of Season 6 (of 10) of Shetland.
I am seriously considering a quick to Safeway. I want fried chicken and cake.
But right now, I need to go to Elbow Coffee.

Happy 15th annual #ITPE!!!! Thank you for bearing with us despite Tumblr sabotaging us not just once, but twice.
Here’s some stats and highlights from this year’s #ITPE!
We had 73 participants this year, and you made 293 podfics for a total run time of 124 hours, 16 minutes, and 4 seconds–that’s over FIVE DAYS of audio!
We have 4 simulpods this year! Incredible things happened in The Queen’s Thief fandom with![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
deepestbluesky podding a gift for likethetrench, who recorded the same story for her recipient feelingsandtaxes, who in turn podded that story for lady-sci. Classic #ITPE antics! flowerparrish and tinybluebirdcloak gifted each other the same story as a treat, with flowerparrish also receiving a podfic of a story ze gifted to another recipient. Finally, jeremyknox | kbirbpods and opalsong both podded the same story for their recipients.
By far our most prolific gifter this year was flowerparrish, who (on top of modding duties) not only made 4 gifts for zir recipient (including a nearly 11 hour podfic), but also picked up 2 pinch hits and made 57 treats. Not far behind was jeremyknox | kbirbpods who also picked up a pinch hit and made 15 main gifts for faer recipients and 16 treats! Opalsong had a relatively restrained year (for her), but still made 10 gifts (nearly 10 hours of audio) for her recipient!rhea314 was also a generous gifter this year, making 8 main gifts for her recipient and 10 treats! pezzax was another of our prolific gifters this year, making 22 treats! We also had generous treaters in blackestglass, wanderingjedihistorian, chaoskiro, j03-05, and wilfriede! Honorable mentions to popcornfairy28 and reena-jenkins for the 3 and 5.5 hour (respectively) podfics they made for their recipients, and to betrayedbycinnamon for treating despite not being signed up to the exchange!
Finally, we'd like to extend some thank you’s to:
-Data mod![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)

-Asymptotical and Dragonflies_and_Katydids for creating the coding we used to generate distribution day templates.
-Our pinch hittersalliaskisthepossibilityoflove, flowerparrish and jeremyknox | kbirbpods

I Leap Over the Wall - Monica Baldwin
Dec. 27th, 2025 11:30 amtroisoiseauxFinished I Leap Over the Wall: Contrasts and Impressions After Twenty-Eight Years in a Convent by Monica Baldwin, a 1949 memoir that is what it says on the tin and a fascinating read. It's a mix of explaining convent life to a secular audience (which was pretty much the same as in Catherine Coldstream's Cloistered, although I feel like Baldwin made more of an effort to explain why this or that aspect of life as a nun made sense in the context of Catholic doctrine), Baldwin's sense of culture shock from having entered the cloister in 1914 and left it in 1941, and her misadventures in adjusting to the modern world circa WWII— she worked various jobs in an effort to Do Her Bit for Britain, including as an unofficial Land Girl, dormitory matron at a munitions factory, hostess at an army canteen, assistant librarian at the Royal Academy of Science, and something for the War Office that she isn't allowed to talk about. (She was also the niece of former Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, which probably helped.) It's also a thoughtful, insightful memoir about a woman figuring out who she is as a person after nearly three decades of suppressing every instinct towards individualism; in a way, it reads a lot like the narrative of someone recovering from a long-term abusive relationship— there was one particularly aching line about the first time she "had actually dared to open a window, in a place containing several other people, and the universe had NOT rocked to its foundations and then come toppling down about my ears"— although, as it's all written in such a bright tone and Baldwin's view was clearly that she personally was unsuited for religious life, rather than religious life in itself being The Problem, I imagine that she would have been surprised by the comparison.
Snowy Day
Dec. 27th, 2025 09:35 amshadowkat1. It's the first real snowfall of the season, and the world looks soft and clean with snow outside my window. As opposed to drab and in need of a thorough washing or at least a toss or two in the washer. Soft puffs of snow decorate each and every brank outside, and leaves now,, finally, fallen, no longer present a hindrance to the decoration.
Melting won't happen any time soon, with temperatures in the teens and low twenties (Fahrenheit). (When I type my posts in this journal, it's easy to forget that I'm corresponding with the world and not just my own locality or myself. Long gone are the days in which that was the case, and for the most part I'm happy about that.) Putting thoughts and words out there for whomever happens by - can be discomforting, when I stop long enough to ponder it.)
Done little this holiday season, except rest and ice my knee (or attempt to) and do knee exercises. I'm paying for ignoring the knee during the summer and fall months. Although in my defense, I thought it was just a sciatic nerve - and the best way of handling that is often to muddle through. Also did random chores (which didn't involve utilizing the knee - ie, no getting down on my knees or squatting), and watched television.
2. I've made it through Buffy S5 rewatch, which upon rewatch - I now understand why people are split over it. ( Read more... )
3. Last night, watched One Battle After Another - Paul Thomas Anderson's new film, starring Leo DiCaprio and Scean Penn, along with Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti. It's about a washed up revolutionary, who has to come to terms with his revolutionary past to save his daughter and himself from those pursuing them. Half satire, half suspenseful thrill ride, it's a mixed bag? I found it slow in spots, particularly to start, and difficult to get into, but once it got rolling, it became more suspenseful, and hilarious in places. There are some very funny sequences in it - mainly involving DiCaprio. It is definitely topical and highlights the abuses of power not to mention deep-rooted racism by Homeland Security and ICE. (Although uses different names for them.)
4. For the most part, I'm on a news diet - so only have a passing awareness of what is happening outside my window. I did however hear in passing that numerous folks have resigned their positions from the ultra-Conservative Think Tank, also known as the Heritage Foundation. What caused this latest fracture and exodus? Apparently the anti-semitism got to them finally - and they jumped ship to join Mike Pence.

Yuletide Recs 1
Dec. 27th, 2025 04:09 pmselenakFor some Darth Real Life reasons, I had less time than usual during the holidays to delve into the Yuletide archive, but I did have some chances, and here are some early results. ;)
Akhenaten - Glass
The lone and level sands stretch far away: or, Egptian historical fiction. Based on the opera, but can be read without having heard it yet knowing who Akhenaten was. Poetic and intense.
Greek Myths:
Mothers of the Brazen Spear: Andromache and three of her sisters-in-law after the Trojan war. Based on Euripides.
Homophrosyne: Penelope through twenty years.
Born with Teeth:
To Bite the World: in which Will and Kit talk and role play Richard III and Anne Neville. Matches the play really well.
Bride of the Rat God - Hambly :
A closer kinship: the crucial moment from the novel's backstory when Christine shows up in England to whisk Norah away. This is one of my favourite Barbara Hambly novels, and the characterisation of both women is perfect.
Copenhagen - Frayn:
Quantum Game Theory: Four alternate timelines where the Copenhagen meeting never happened, and one where it did. Clever, moving and profound.
Farscape:
Look after the Princess: in which Katralla from s2's Princess trilogy wakes up post- Peacekeeper Wars (there are plot reasons) to find herself in a mad adventure with Aeryn Sun. And Aeryn's baby. And the usual Farscape insanity. Really feels like an episode in the best way, and fleshes out Katralla to boot.
Also, there are still free spots if you want me to ramble on something on the January meme.
