Day 12: fanart, Bad Sisters - Bibi, Ursula, Grace, Becka, Eva
Title: Noisy sisters
Fandom: Bad Sisters
Characters: Bibi, Ursula, Grace, Becka and Eva Garvey
Rating: G
Notes: Done with felt tip pens, Chinese ink and graphite. Inspired by the whole "do the poem, girleen!" scene from 1x03, with all the excitement that entails (without JP ruining it, lol).
Summary: The Garvey sisters will always have that one place that is theirs and theirs alone, to where they all inevitably drift back for inner peace -- and some outside mayhem.
Over here, at my journal!

The Third Noman
This year was the third time I made a Noman in Fallen London. I hoped to keep it around long enough for it to achieve enlightenment and pass on an Elemental Secret.
I admit I was probably too casual about it. I just used whatever Pails and Vials I already had on hand, instead of farming them in advance. And I was a bit haphazard about logging in to check for the Noman's Progress card, instead of doing it whenever the deck refilled.
Getting to 12 out of 15 wasn't bad, but it wasn't enough. Maybe next year.
Goodbye, Frostflower. You got so close.

Thankful Thursday
Today I am thankful for...
- Finding my lab form and other medical paperwork (right where I left them while packing for my last trip).
- Getting compression stockings prescribed for my leg swelling, and home care (paid for by insurance) leading up to getting measured for the above. No thanks for the prescription for amlodipine last year that's probably what caused it.
- Also thanks for the problem being easily treatable and not a symptom of something worse.
- Getting off my arse and getting plane tickets for a trip to Seattle next month, which includes having lunch with my kids on my birthday.
- Having a second machine, Panther, that has Python2 on it. NO thanks for Nova suddenly not booting -- it's probably something trivial, but with Panther running I don't need to care this week. (The ancient program I use at the end of my DW posting toolchain is written in Python2.)

2026/020: Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars — Kate Greene
What if a mission to Mars didn’t have as its main goal a barrage of scientific studies, or the demonstration that humans can build ships to send us to faraway lands and keep us alive in the harshest environments? What if it’s not driven by the fear of our eventual extinction or by opportunities afforded it by current economic systems—mining for resources, etc. Or what if it is those things, but also, in its design, it contains questions about what it means to be a human being alive and alone and unable to achieve contact with others in this universe? [p. 131]
In 2013, Kate Greene spent four months as second-in-command of the Hawai’i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) mission, which was designed to simulate life on Mars. The six crew members lived in cramped quarters, with artificial communication delays, pre-packaged food, constant surveys for one another's experiments, and compulsory spacesuits for excursions beyond the habitat. The essays that comprise Once Upon a Time I Lived On Mars -- subtitled 'Space, Exploration and Life on Earth' -- are all rooted in Greene's HI-SEAS experience:( Read more... )

Ghost Story: The Turn of the Screw
I was excited about Ghost Story: The Turn of the Screw, because it stars Michelle Dockery and Dan Stevens (pre-Downton Abbey!), and the screenplay was written by Sandy Welch, also responsible for the screenplays of such winners as the Romola Garai Emma and the 2006 Jane Eyre.
However, this adaptation leaned very hard on the Edmund Wilson interpretation of The Turn of the Screw, which is that the “ghosts” are in fact products of the repressed governess’s overheated imagination. And whoever had charge of the filming clearly felt that one should never imply when one could show, so we are treated to multiple scenes of evil Peter Quinn having sex with the former governess, sexually assaulting the maids, etc, which I feel is a counterproductive choice in a ghost story.
They also introduced a frame story where the governess is in an asylum, with Dan Stevens as her psychiatrist. I always enjoy seeing Dan Stevens but I must admit that here his entire plotline seems superfluous. Why keep cutting away from the central story? It constantly undermines the atmosphere of claustrophobic horror that the ghost story is trying to build up.
So I was all set to complain about the film, but in fact I’ve been thinking about the story on and off since I saw it. Is the governess truly seeing ghosts? What did happen to the children before our governess arrived? And what truly happened in the end? So I suppose I must crankily admit that the film is effective even if it’s not artful.
Will this finally inspire me to read Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw? Probably not, as I’ve never fully recovered from how much I hated Daisy Miller. But maybe someday.

Media Roundup, Accidental Advent All-in-One
Yet Again, Stuff-
First, last quarter's JFF movies!
No Longer Heroine - I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. It's a delightfully meta movie about a high school girl who's always been in love with her friend and how she's always expected to end up with him despite never telling him her interest. There are a few too many subplots, but everyone was a joy.
Teiichi - Battle of Supreme High - this was a good movie but I also didn't really like it, if that makes sense? Basically an over the top story about student council elections.
My Love Story!! - live action version of the manga, makes a few changes for format but overall the same story and a lot of fun.
Handball Strive - about the power of social media in an area still recovering from the 2011 earthquake, and friendship, and ooof, social media.
Bento Harassment - this is the genre of generational conflict movies that turn up a lot, and it even has the required parent getting sick, etc. There is so much delicious food, though and one unresolved subplot that's a little maddening.
Megane Glasses - a slow movie about nothing and the middle of nowhere and just... finding one's own pace. (Also food.)
Restaurant from the Sky - this is about a man and cheese, but also food and mourning and family and community. Peak culture drama, tbh, but I feel like it's a hard genre to recommend movies in because things happen but quietly.
As usual, I am procrastinating on this quarter's movies. ^^;;
School of Rock - haven't seen this since it came out but my father picked up a copy and saw it for the first time and then insisted I watch it. Still good!
Majestic Prince (full series + movie) - this is an anime about giant robots and fighting aliens and it is tropey and ridiculous and Absolutely Understood The Assignment.
Flying Witch 12 & 13 (Chihiro Ishizuka) - I sometimes worry when otherwise chill manga, especially slice of life(ish) series, get past about volume 9... But Flying Witch is still full of ridiculous charm and these volumes were great.
The Dragon Knight's Beloved 8 (Ritsu Aozaki, Asagi Orikawa, Akito Ito) - wraps up an arc and see above, the next volume is going go be make-or-break for the series keeping my interest. The leads are still super-cute though.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! - this was recommended and it was pretty good. I like series about fans and media creation, and I liked how the real world blended with what was being created or what could be created. Unsure about hanging onto it, though. (For now?)

Finally, the long, lingering bitter cold has ended! It is actually supposed to be above freezing basically every day for at least a week. Work was noticeably warmer last night! I will hopefully no longer be spending all my extra energy just trying to stay warm! I do seem to have picked up a mild cold, alas, but so far it just seems to be minor congestion.
I finished up Yoroi Samurai Troopers (though watching the dub as Ronin Warriors, this time around) after many attempts over the years, and then paid up for Crunchyroll to watch the sequel. (Which is amazing so far.) Since I'm going to be paying for CR for the next bit, if anyone has any recommendations for series to watch, I'm all ears. I do want to watch the Apothecary Diaries and there are a couple of Gundam series on there that don't have physical releases.
Aside from trying to stay warm and watching brightly-colored nobs, I'm still working on various models, archiving stuff, and sorting through notebooks and papers. I'm trying to do some notebook consolidation, especially with various notebooks with only a handful of pages left in them that I was keeping for a few rogue notes.
I also found an old organizer that has a bunch of lines pages that I'm using for daily to-do lists. The kicker is that it's a 2019-2020 student organizer, so like July-June, but the blank pages in it start in March 2020 and there's just nothing written after that. Owww... (I mean, I still make March 2020 jokes so... I guess this is fair.)

Today's theme is Her Sanctuary.
Here are some ideas to get you started: The place she calls home, where she feels safest. It can be a physical place or an emotional one. Describe it- how she found it, how she relates to it, how is it an expression of her?
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.

I should be at Crossfit, but the fatigue has risen up and consumed me this week. I could feel it approaching on Monday, and Tuesday it hit me like a truck. I'm trying to just ride it out and allow myself to rest, although some anxiety seems to be wound up in it. I just keep reminding myself I've been here before and it was better for so long, and I know what to do to make it better again. That I'd noticed my food choices slipping since November and even remarked to Dr Lady last week that I wasn't eating much meat again.
It feels silly that apparently I need meat to avoid this fatigue, but I haven't been able to get enough iron/B12 on a vegetarian-adjacent diet, even with supplements. Blrgh. But I also need my energy back; I truly felt like my old self for a while there. I was PRing lifts and being a boss all summer, but I feel like I've been barely keeping up since fall.
Definitely 90% of the blame can be placed on the stress in December. I thought I'd got out of that relatively unscathed, but I guess I'm finally paying for it. I did try to take January easy, and I've been alcohol-free for five weeks (hoorah), as well as consistently exercising. I need to prioritize getting outside again and there are a few other things I could dial in.
Unfortunately, it looks like there might be another crunch coming up at work in March. I've already warned them I'm not working outside of hours and this crunch is entirely because other people don't value our work ("we want training on this process, but we haven't finalized this process, and we're launching in May no matter what" r-e-a-l-l-y). It doesn't help that boss-boss keeps telling us to just "use AI." Ma'am, I don't think that's going to help when folks still don't know what they want their users to do.
All the more reason I got to get hold of this fatigue wave while I can. I wish there was a simpler solution; I feel like the older I get, the less forgiving my body is. I also feel like I'm not old enough to feel this way, lol. My body should not hurt like this, I should not be this damn tired.
But it does and I am, so here we go.
