So I managed to score an emergency visit to my eye doctor. He doesn't think my left eye is infected. However, it has inflitrative corneal-conjunctivitis. Whee. Basically my eyeball decided it didn't want a contact in it and threw a tantrum. (I've had this once before in college a billion years ago) The cornea isn't damaged but the inflammatory response is SO severe right now that my eyeball is so swollen I can barely open the lid and there is so much fluid IN the cornea (plus white blood cells) that I'm unable to see through it. He made me read the letters on the eyechart. Right eye, 20/40 (that's as good as my vision gets), left eye, are there even lines of letters? I can barely see a smear of something that might be black so even 20/200 is beyond my eyes ability right now. I have a second steroid eyedrop that is also antibiotic as well (just in case) Not allowed to wear a contact for pretty much a month. In the meantime the eye is just over there weeping all day, the color of a tomato and scared students.

I did have to go to give that exam, the easiest I will give. 2 got 100%, 1 passed, 3 failed. Guess we're going to have a talk about time management, sports vs academia, come talk to me PLEASE come talk to me and that yes Cs get degrees but they DO NOT get you into grad school usually. (this is my I wanna go to grad school class).



The good news today was it was 10 degrees hotter than expected and yes most of the ice is gone off the parking lot so that's good.

I need to get my story out so I'm preserving what's left of my vision for that. No fun fannish 50 stuff but here's the reading at least.

What I Just Finished Reading:

When the Moon Hits Your Eye - meh

Parable of the Sower graphic novel adaptation of the Octavia Butler classic. I forgot how dystopic this was, not to mention the cringeworthy age gap between the MC (18) and her lover (57).


What I am Currently Reading:


The Final Problem - mystery set in the 60s (for some reason ALL my netgalley arcs are freezing up my kindle app. I'm going to have to try and redownload a lot of these using the netgalley app which annoys me


Dark Life - YA book (so far so good)



Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier - okay I'm at the point of thinking Maxim isn't much better than Heathcliff, NOT a good place to be


Heavy Vinyl - graphic novel for the sapphic comic prompt on popsugar


What I Plan to Read Next: La Grand Familia Zombie Day Care and This Is How You Lose the Time Lord

Luna Park history - it was an amusement park in Pittsburgh around 1910.

So the world is a shitshow. No surprise there.

Otherwise-- otherwise, I got my recycling into the bin and the bin out of its snowbank and was surprised that six weeks of recycle still didn't fill the thing up. But of course there's another bag of recycling sitting in the bunker. If pickup is as late as I expect it to be, I might try stuffing that in as well. And maybe ask SND if I can put a bag of organics in her green bin because mine is still stuck in two feet of snow. But no, actually: the green bin pickup comes early when I'm still asleep.

Weather pages are all about the cold spell being broken when temps got above freezing today. Yes well, there was a wind so it was 'high of 2C feels like -7' and yes it did, in spite of the lakes of melt at all the street corners. Some public-spirited type on Dupont was hacking at the knee high snow berms pushed up by the plows in order to clear the storm drain. Go public-spirited guy.

Reading is still the Riddlemaster trilogy, now on volume 3, which I've only read once and am still confused about. There's a great deal of travelling from place to place in that one, is partly why. Have dropped Dr. Siri early on in vol 13 because things are getting dark and I expect several long-time characters will be dead either in this one or the final volume.

AMNESTY WEEK #029
Challenges # 001-290

Amnesty Weeks are a chance to post any stories you've written that, for whatever reason, weren't submitted during that week's challenge. And if you can't get the entries you want in during this Amnesty, never fear! The next one will include challenges 001-290, so you'll never miss out.

There's no voting for amnesty entries, and there's no limit on how many you can post, so long as each entry meets the usual community requirements (less than 1000 words, not NC-17, etc.) If, however, you manage to end up with 30 of the things you want to post, try to spread them out through the week for the sake of people's reading pages. These entries may also be crossposted and previewed anywhere you like, since there’s no voting to skew.

At the end of this two-week window, a post will be made collecting all the links of the posted entries, which will also signal the end of the posting period, and a new regular challenge will go up.

Entries are titled the same way as normal: [#] Story Title (Fandom)

1. It's the annual insurance open enrollment period at work, and even if we want to keep the exact same plans we currently have, we are required to go in to a session with HR and confirm everything in person, which is annoying, especially as I looked at the calendar and the times they were having a session at the Gardena store were all not great with my schedule. But I saw that there was one at the West LA store today, so last night I messaged the HR guy who is handling it and asked if I could go to that one or if it's just for employees at that location, and he said it was fine, so I popped over there quickly this morning and got that done and then otherwise just worked from home. Plus I hadn't been to that store in several months, and it was nice to see my old employees.

2. I bought a couple sumo tangerines the other day at the store and had one for breakfast this morning and it was so good.

3. Suspicious Gemma! What am I plotting taking her picture like that!?

Reading
  • I read Lost Boys by Kaname Itsuki, which is a yaoi manga based on Peter Pan. It was... fine, idk. Not as interesting as it looked.
  • Ficwise, I'm still bopping between JunDylan and VegasPete and having a good time :) Currently I'm reading a JunDylan fic called Too Aware, Regrettably Aroused by Polikuro. Enjoying it a lot!
Watching
  • The roommate and I finished Boys in Love. Again, very cute and sweet! Wish PoddPapang would have gotten a bit more screentime, but I really did enjoy all the kids.
  • The roommate and I watched The Wicked Game. The quality of this show was pretty garbage, but it was quite fun. I really liked DaouOffroad and I want to see more of them.
  • The roommate and I started watching 2gether. Very fun so far! I love some fake dating with one side definitely having feelings and the other too dumb to notice lol
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. Continues to be very cute.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. They seem to have wrapped everything up with one more episode to go so like... what's gonna happen now??
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. I am so sure I know who the killer (or one of??) is and I am hype! Also, JoongDunk are so cute.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. Very good! I love that things are already starting to get messy lol
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang with You. So silly and fun! Really enjoying TeeteePor.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the first episode of Yesterday. Interesting so far! I am digging FortPeat's vibe.
Listening
  • This was the week for new music apparently! There have actually been several others, but these are the ones that have been stuck in my head:
    • No Way by LYKN. Very catchy and I love the red velvet suits.
    • Bad Boy No "DO" by CLO'VER. Also very catchy and cute.
    • My No. 1 Duo by the Gen 5 DMD boys. Again, very catchy lol
Writing
  • I wrote my Candy Hearts assignment. My first time writing this ship, and I think it came out very well!
  • Wrote a little more on a Thundercloud Rainstorm fic.
  • Also wrote a poem.
Learning
  • I did the fourth lesson of Pimsleur's Thai. I'm starting to feel confident about being able to say a few full sentences, so that's nice. There's a couple of phrases I'm really struggling with, but hopefully they'll click eventually...
  • Read some more articles about figure skating. There's a couple of books I'd like to read but I'm having a hard time finding copies, so we'll see.

Day 11 - The Explorer  

Title: Any role will do (any at all)
Fandom: Glass Mask | Garasu no Kamen
Characters: Kitajima Maya centered, Maya/Masumi and Maya/Ayumi 
Rating: Gen
Summary: It’s only when she is wearing a mask that she can look at her reflection. Anything but Kitajima Maya is good enough.

Story in ao3
erinptah: Madoka and Homura (madoka)
[personal profile] erinptah

“Part 1” of The Rose Field was chapters 1-8. “Part 2” is twice as long (chapters 9-22), and I haven’t gotten any less chatty. So you’re getting a Post 2A and a Post 2B. Look forward to a 3A and a 3B to finish off the set.

As of this roundup, I’ve finished the whole book. Post will have light spoilers, in the notes I put in while editing. Comments are a free-for-all.

Still adding relevant BBC HDM screencaps to break up the text.

Sidenote: At some point in the middle of the original liveblog, I managed to injure my hand. Nowhere near as bad as Lyra’s — I kept an ice pack on it for the first several hours, and within two days, it only hurt if I touched/bent the injured part wrong. (The next week saw a steady decrease in which kinds of motion counted as “doing it wrong.”)

But every time I did, I remembered how Lyra’s spent this whole book with full-on broken fingers, and have an extra wince of sympathy. The only treatment she’s had is some (rose-scented) salve. She hasn’t even splinted them! Has to be a miserable, constant pain.

Lyra portal screencap, in here twice because I like it

 

Didn’t you set off to find Lyra’s imagination? You must have had some idea of what you were looking for... )
