S3: Day 304 (1035)

I'm doing prep work for November. I'm not feeling amazing, so I'm not sure if I'm going to attempt some casual writing or not after I'm done with it. I for sure want to write tomorrow and Sunday. I mean, in a dream world, obviously. I'd love to do a LOT of writing this weekend.

For now, prep. Very thorough and deep prep.


Currently:
Playing: "Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth" replay. "Final Fantasy X" perfect run attempt.
Reading: "A Million Junes" print. "The Haunting of Payne's Hallow" audio. "The Witching Hour" audio.

Birdfeeding

Today is mostly sunny and mild.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.  They drained the hopper feeder.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 10/31/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

November Bingo Challenge

Welcome to our Bingo Round in November 2025. The theme is 'Fairy Tales and Fantasy Stories' (including books, movies, and TV shows).

Under the cut, you will find five groups of prompts, each of them coming with a 3x3 bingo card. Additionally, there will be one 5x5 bingo card that combines all prompt groups.

Feel free to create your own bingo card(s) of any size, skipping the prompts you don't like.

While the prompts are based on fairy tales and fantasy, you don't have to stay to these main themes when filling out your bingo card. You prefer to write crime or science fiction, go wild and have fun.

Feel free to interpret the prompts in whichever way you like.

Any bingo pattern you can think of is allowed as long as you create at least three works in total. Fills can be any work type: drabbles, novels, haikus, poems, icons, wallpaper or cakes, and knitted goods, or a mix of it. Whatever you can think of is fair game.

The Prompts and 3x3 Public Bingo Cards )

Mixed Public Card 5x5 )

And now, let's all have some BINGO fun in Novemver!

Books

libraries as resistance

In a system that wants to dismantle education and undermine critical thought, libraries become sanctuaries of truth, radical hope, and quiet rebellion.


Generously stocked, freely accessible, public libraries are ideal.

However, if the government destroys them, we have another option: private libraries run by actual bookworms. A library can be stocked quite cheaply with used books, hence the Little Free Library movement and swap shelves. But if you have or can afford to rent or buy space in a building, then you can provide a bigger collection. A private library is not at the mercy of the government, and you are free to do things like ban censorship.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 I hope everyone has a nice and spooky day!

To me it doesn’t really feel like Halloween, which is down to the sickness and glasses.(which means spooky season is extended till next month which I had intended anyway.) So there’s no really spooky stuff around. I haven’t put up any of the new decorations I got, or painted the things I picked up which sucks. Hopefully I can get into the Halloween spirit today.

So I had intended yesterday to see Frankenstein, but when the day came I didn’t feel up to it. When I woke I felt a it funny, but thought it was just down to hunger but it was there after eating which ugh. It sucks, but I’m hoping to see it next week (thank fuck they extended the run cause all there is this week is night showings).

Instead yesterday was another day spent bundled and resting.

It did mean that I was in to watch two new trailers. There’s the new one for Stranger Things which looks so great (I still need to watch the finale for season 4, hopefully I will this weekend). Please Stranger Things, don’t kill off Steve this season.

Also there was a surprise new thing from Nintendo, with Animal Crossing getting a new update. I assumed it would just be enhanced graphics and stuff for the switch 2 but nope! There’s a new hotel, storage updates, slumber islands and there’s collab stuff including Zelda! The new Zelda items look cool so I have a mighty need! (Thankfully I just found my game so I know where it is) I do wonder if there’s other stuff they’re holding back (I’d not be surprised, especially since the update is January) and I guess it does mean there’s not a new game for the switch 2 coming for awhile.

We usually watch Taskmaster last night (and celebrity traitors today) but mum wanted to watch it last night (which surprised me cause she’d been dozing all night). I’m glad they finally got a traitor on Wednesday but damn! I’m so sad that Celia is gone, she was so fun.

I had an email last night too from the cinema and they’re showing the final next week (for free too!) which is a surprise.

I also decided to sort Now tv (I had planned to depending on how going out went) and damn I made the dumbest mistake. I put in the wrong email. I somehow combined both my main email and my iPad one and didn’t realise until I was logging in after making it. Thankfully the username wasn’t taken so now I have that email but the verification emails still hasn’t come through so I have to chase that up, ugh.

So I did watch the first IT Welcome To Derry ep last night. Now I have never watched IT, it’s one of those horror things that’s kinda passed me by (Nightmare on Elm street is another big one) so why am I watching a prequel to a think I’ve not seen before? (To the point of even getting a new thing specifically for it)

To that I answer two words (or rather one name): Joshua Odijick.

Listen, I’m a simple creature, if you tell me a beautiful man is in a thing I am likely to see a thing. (And it’s already got me to see The Long Walk and get Wildhood, both of which I’ve talked about and I had already unknowingly seen him in Ghe Swarm last year.) He wasn’t in the first ep, which I knew already so what’re my thoughts of ep 1?

(Thoughts under the cut so if you’re avoiding spoilers. Scroll quick)

Read more... )

My Halloween plans for today are the following:
*Start the beautiful version of Halloween Party that I got for Christmas (and so had saved till now)
*Sort the pumpkin carving (and have pumpkin soup! Though it’s more vegetable with pumpkin but still)
*Seapeekay spooky game stream
*Return To Paradise/Sister Boniface Mysteries
*IT Welcome To Derry ep 2 (cause it’s been put up early for Halloween)
*Trick R Treat (my traditional Halloween film)
*Attempt to finish the last quests on Fortnite/Fall Guys for Halloween stuff

Twenty Questions 067

LAST WEEK'S DECK: illkillyou - Isaac "Zack" Foster, Angels of Death



John and Sherlock are chasing down a criminal for one of the latest cases that Sherlock has taken on, and they would like your help, dear Colors player! Hidden in one of the Colors decks is a clue that will eventually lead the detective duo to our culprit, and if everyone puts their brains together, ask questions and share information, there's no way they won't be able to find that missing clue! Can you help them, Colors players? John will give you some cards for your trouble!


GAMEPLAY AND RULES
☆ There will be 2 parts to this game - asking questions and guessing a deck!
☆ Players are able to ask questions on this post to narrow down the identity of the deck selected for the round.
☆ While the name of the game is twenty questions, you can absolutely ask more than twenty questions total :P
☆ You can ask multiple questions, but please ensure that at least three people have asked questions OR 24 hours have passed in between your questions! Please limit yourself to two questions a day per person and no more than five questions a week. Please wait for the reset comment before posting more questions if you have maxed out your limits!
☆ Questions should be yes/no only, as far as possible! In the event that a question is valid but does not apply to the deck (EX. "Is this character male?" for a character with no gender), the question will still count. Using mod discretion, the question will sometimes be answered with "sort of", "neither", etc.
☆ EXAMPLE QUESTIONS: "Is the deck name a verb?" "Is the deck Special?" "Does it feature a human character?" "Does the deck name have an odd number of letters?" "Does the character in the deck have glasses?"
☆ If you are confident that you have picked out the correct deck, you may post a guess to the GUESSES toplevel, which will always be the first comment on each weekly post!
☆ Players are limited to two guesses per week. You can guess the same as someone else, if you think they are correct. This is to prevent people from blindly and magically guessing a deck before we've even gotten off the ground!
☆ Submit your guesses using the following code:


☆ Each deck will get two weeks (1 biweekly round) for guesses - although if the deck is guessed early, a new round will go up with a new card on Fridays!

♪ I will be responding to questions and passing out rewards once a day. Guesses will be responded to at the end of the round/before the next round goes up to make it fair for everyone!

PRIZES
You will receive:
☆ 3 random cards for every valid question posted and answered
☆ 3 random cards for an incorrect guess attempt
☆ 5 random character cards + 2 random special cards if you managed to guess the correct deck!
☆ A bonus of 2 random crayons if you happen to be the first person to guess the correct deck!

This round will reset on November 7th and end on November 14th.
