Entertaining in a Disturbing Way

Then I remember I don't have one, so it wouldn't do any good.

A) Sapphic Summer! https://sapphicsunshower.dreamwidth.org/18139.html - Runs until 1st September.

B) I managed to read actual books towards the end of the year, I really really like Tilly Wallace's Manners and Monsters series. It hit all of the pining/regency parts of my id with some great horror bits, and I didn't spend any of the six books wanting to punch anyone. Mostly, I liked the covers and was quite charmed by the prose.

C) I've taken up fluid art, or whatever it's called. Pouring bunches of paint on canvas makes pretty designs.

D) Games-wise, I replayed several MCF entries, and appreciated how long they were. Also replayed Sacra Terra: Angelic Night (the game that got me playing HOG games in the first place, and remains my GOLD STANDARD for people talking). Also several Mystery of the Ancients I find it weird how Lockwood Manor and No Escape are such completely different vibes to the rest--well, the one with the Kraken is closer to Lockwood Manor, I suppose.

E) Still need to catch up on Doctor Who. I got stuck after Demons, and then, well, dad died, and I stopped watching it entirely save for Jo Martin and the end of Thirteen's era. Not sure what I'll think of the specials (and not really holding my breath about RTD).

F) I keep having terrible luck when ordering donuts - they always seem to arrive stale and terrible.

G) I listened to the first Star Cops set, Mother Earth and the first episode of the second set. I really really liked how it sounded (and I like the new characters they slotted in, since two of them have died in RL). It was fucking hilarious to hear Pal Kenzy again, and I'm gleeful they got Newton back for it--it just doesn't feel like Star Cops with Kenzy & Devis. Even if I want to slap Devis a LOT. It also sounds like they're all having a blast revisiting the characters in the behind the scenes stuff.

H) Mom and I are still going through Poirot and Marple, and I've started pulling up the audiobooks on youtube to listen. I really appreciate how much of the racism they cut out of the aired stories, though it's sort of like archeology to hear it/read it. Although some of them are terribly long-winded (The Blue Train, for instance, was a DNF for me, as it is so fucking long, and it goes on and on and on... It's actually one of the adaptations I really like, though, so I stuck a lot of it out, then skipped to the end. Also, shocked that the Katherine-Kettering stuff in the novel was cut from the adaptation, yet I still shipped it like burning without knowing their whole romantic sub-plot existed??? Also, loathe the idea that Katherine just Went Home and didn't continue traveling. Bollocks to that.)

I) I have started a Music I Like post, but it is nowhere near finished.
