Fifth Post!

[hoisinsauce]

Richard the fireman groaned. He'd always been a larger gentleman, and he'd known he'd been eating a lot of cream teas recently; his uniform had been getting tighter... but he'd never expected *this*.

"Where *are* you?" came the panicked shout from his colleagues.

"On fanspace! You'll never BELIEVE what they've been saying about me!"

Watched a documentary on knife-crime and it was sad. Idk what I was expecting. :(

Watching anything that's long?

Re: Films - LOTR

[(Anonymous)]

Rewatched The Fellowship and The Two Towers, so far. Still hold up well, but must admit, they've been *slightly* tarnished by the memes. Both 'they're taking the hobbits to isengard' and '"you have my sword"... "and my bow"... "and my axe"... "AND MY VUVUZELA"'.

I've started always reading 'pronouns in the bio' in my head in a glum yorkshireman accent, like there's this weathered old farmer sitting behind me sighing and shaking his head and going "pronouns int' bio... back when I were a lad, this were all fields...".

Re: Puzzles - Galactic Puzzle Hunt

GPH is probably one of the biggest and most 'high-budget,' so to speak, yearly puzzle hunts - the team behind it also maintains the website framework many smaller hunts use and put together the 2021 MIT Mystery hunt, which turned the remote limitation into a full-fledged MMO experience. So it's no surprise, really, that this year's hunt was both technically ambitious and full of interactive components; some of it was really a 'you had to be there' kind of experience. Sorry for posting about it late.

I have a lot to say about this one, so I'll move my post-hunt retrospective over a reply.

I'm building my first desktop computer. Only ever had cheap laptops. I'm thinking of trying Linux for the first time as well.

Gardening

[(Anonymous)]

Have you put plants in the ground and have they done things???

Re: Gardening

[(Anonymous)]

I'm thinking about planting scallions because they're so expensive now - over a dollar for a bunch! - and I never manage to use them up before they go bad.

Unfortunately, I am not a gardener. I possess one potted succulent, which has somehow put up with me despite constant neglect, and I'm unsure if I can handle anything more complicated than that. I don't even know where to start. Like, where do you get soil for your potted plants? They sell potting mix at the store, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not supposed to buy several pounds of dirt for one pot.

Anyone making anything?

Re: Creative Projects

[(Anonymous)]

Deciding what to write next. Kinda wanna try my hand at fantasy epic, but suspect I won't stick at it long enough to create one. Also want to try making some eerie folksongs. I've been failing to commit to even half an hour of guitar practice a day so am not sure how those are meant to come into being, either.

Manga and Anime

Re: Manga and Anime

Currently on a shoujo kick. Reading Neko To Kiss (anglicized as A Kiss with a Cat) and watching Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (My Little Monster). The partner is rather amused by all the pages of Neko To Kiss I shove at him to see, but it's really quite cute and funny. It involves male cat turning into a human, and he really does act like I think a cat would. For example, when the heroine starts doting over a small kitten, he gets jealous and goes and digs out his baby photos to show her how much cuter _he_ was as a kitten.
