goals

Snowflake normally includes a post to share goals, which is when I was planning to do this, but it didn't, so I haven't. However, with three months left of my year, it's about time I look at how things have been going.

Goal No 1: Do a Themed Monthly Post

Definitely a good goal and I've enjoyed posting a monthly selection of the view from our bedroom window, together with various bonus windows.

Goal No 2: Accept the Unexpected

Definitely a few of those, but they haven't thrown me badly, even if they have required a change of plans. Our October holiday plans to north Wales were completely remade two days before departure, so we went to south-west Wales instead. The weather when we were due to go to London to see The Red Shoes meant travel was dubious (trains freak at the first sign of a snowflake) meant we cancelled in time to get a credit note and have rebooked for a performance in Cardiff in March. Not to mention the disruption of a quiet evening by The Daughter phoning to say 'how about going to Paddington the Musical' and getting it all sorted within two hours. And managing to crack a rib in the middle of December, which didn't stop me doing most things, but did require certain adjustments.

Goal No 3: To Embrace My Personal Interests

Definitely going with it. Less courses because there's nothing much which appeals, but that's within the personal interests. I currently have 9 books on the go. 7 stitching projects and a jumper to knit.

25 Things in 2025

All finished - hooray!

26 Photos in 2026
The first two are posted, and the next will be posted on Saturday.

And now I need to start thinking about my next set of goals. I definitely like doing a monthly themed photo post, so will continue with that, although I haven't decided on a theme. And I'd like to have something nature based, but am not sure what as yet. All goal suggestions will be considered, if not adopted.

I'm jealous of NYC's hot mayor

Mamdani Shuts Down NYC’s Disastrous AI Chatbot
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-chatbot-mamdani

In a press conference held last week, Mamdani made it a point to single out New York City’s large language model as a target for destruction. “The previous administration had an AI chatbot that was functionally unusable,” Mamdani said. “It was costing the administration around half a million dollars. That, in and of itself, is not something that can bridge the budget a gap, but it’s an indication of the ways in which money has been spent while refusing to account for the actual costs of what these programs are.”

Indeed, the bot is now dead.

Good for him. Amazing how so many of these stupid problems are so easy to fix.

Day 5 Theme - The Outlaw

Today's theme is The Outlaw.

Here are some ideas to get you started: Is she a criminal or is she someone who challenges the norms? How does she fight for justice? Do her actions put herself or those she loves in danger? Does she feel that she needs to atone for any of her actions?

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Want to get a jump start on tomorrow's theme? Check out the prompt list in the pinned post at the top of the page. Please don't post until that day

New K-9 fic: Clingy (Ren/Oboro/Fujimaru/Kagari)

Last week,

scytale commented in passing about how clingy these four are, which honestly is just a factual statement at this point, yet the universe immediately beamed a ficlet into my brain just based on that because this is what I am now.

Clingy | K-9 | Ren/Oboro/Fujimaru/Kagari | <850 words | rated M

Summary: This was all Fujimaru's fault. And Kagari's too. Maybe a little bit Yuushirou's, but he wasn't admitting to anything. Ren-san was perfect as always.

Yuushirou gets a boner during movie night.

Read it on Dreamwidth or AO3.

There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm (SCP Foundation)

This book is hard to tag - it's basically cosmic horror, or horror scifi. It is also one of the creepiest and trippiest things I've read in a long time and maybe ever.

I kinda vaguely knew about SCP as a collaborative wiki project from the 2000s, with user-submitted descriptions of imaginary (and frequently extradimensional) objects. This book is based on it. It's about a group of characters who work for the Antimemetics Division of the SCP Foundation, a department most people don't know about (because it's impossible to remember it for more than a few minutes after finding out about it) that handles "antimemes," which are the opposite of memes - if memes are catchy and transmissible, antimemes are intentionally unmemorable, to an extent where you need to use extraordinary measures, such as memory-enhancing drugs, just to recognize that they exist at all. It's information that functions as anti-information. And it turns out there are living creatures with antimemetic properties, as well as weapons that use it ...

( Lots and lots of spoilers )

What Are Couple Goals And How Do We Achieve Them?

What Are Couple Goals And How Do We Achieve Them?

Couple goals are what you and your partner need to do to create the relationship you want. Couple goals help to increase relationship awareness, bring you closer together, and make your relationship thrive. Communication goals include listening to each other, practicing open communication, having difficult conversations, and fighting fair.

Pick a goal to work on together this Valentine's Day. The benefits will last a lot longer than a box of chocolates.

Daily Happiness

1. It looks like I might be going up north to help out at the new store for a few days after all. The store is still ridiculously busy and they need extra help throughout the rest of the month. Nothing's finalized yet, but maybe the week after next I'll go for 3-4 days. I am curious to see the new store (and check out our Cupertino store while I'm up there, which I've also never seen), so I don't mind going. I'm very glad I didn't have to go for the grand opening itself, though!

2. I took Carla to a doctor's appointment this afternoon and while I was waiting for her, I took a walk and stopped in at a little bakery nearby and got a delicious cardamom bun.

3. Tuxie was back this morning!

4. These boys were having some nice cuddle time yesterday. As usual, Ollie was more into it than Jasper lol.

fandom: k-9

Yuu and Satsuki from K-9, aka Leopard and Treeguy

Two more little guys from K-9 are really capturing my imagination at the moment. Look at 'em:

Satsuki from K-9 embracing Yuu from the back and keeping Yuu quiet with a hand on his mouth

You can't just show me two characters that comfortably handsy with each other and not expect me to go "Oh 👀"?! For anyone familiar with Wind Breaker, their vibes are massively similar to Togame and Chouji, especially early on. They're scratching my "murderous protectiveness" itch in just the right way.

Yuu, the blond chibi, can transform into a cute sort of hybrid leopard and loves to fight.

Yuu from K-9, jumping backwards in hybrid human-leopard form

Meanwhile Satsuki can create and control huge branches. He may appear calmer and more reasonable, but that mostly means his expression won't change as he threatens to crush you between branches or tear your limbs apart. That kinda guy.

Satsuki from K-9 creating huge thick branches to attack with

Obviously, I love them. For many reasons, too. But also aren't their abilities kind of ridiculous?! This is a world in which only criminals get a superpower, one related to the crime they committed!! What kind of crime do you commit that you can transform into a leopard?!

And thus, having thought about it way too much, I'm writing what will apparently become my first K-9 multi-chapter fic. With zero members of my beloved OT4 showing up XD This series is just ridiculous. I love it. The author is clearly having a ton of fun, and I love that for them.
