Six-ish sentences from 'Angry Kitten', which I would really like to finish sometime soon.

I know it's odd of me to not do the baby-talk voice to my niece A. when she's around, and I'm sticking with my usual register and cadence just the same.

Her mother didn't show, but she did call once when I was around to hear it - checking in to find out if my brother J. had fed A., and then hanging up. He'd apparently send her a text earlier, but she'd called, and after getting what she wanted, quickly hung up. I don't know her week's schedules, and I don't know what her day looked like. I can only state the events as I witnessed them.

Current Mood: indifferent
Current Music: nothing now

There are so many posts I want to write, but this one is easy and also about books, so! I think everyone should do it so I can spy on your bookshelves.

Take five books off your bookshelf.

(I pulled everything from my physical TBR bookcase, in hopes that it will encourage me to read it.)

Book #1 -- first sentence: "Anyone can write about a large city--large cities are open to everyone--but small cities can only be portrayed by people who love them."

(Already ambiguities: I skipped the preface because this line is better.)

Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty: "However, I haven't yet read V.W.'s book."

Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred: "What amazing childishness these old people were content to live in!"

(Unexpected challenge: do I pick the second sentence or the second complete sentence?)

Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty: "'I know.' Verna dropped the packages. A hard, harsh sob pressed at her throat. 'I hate him.' "

(Yes, I am treating one paragraph of dialog plus action as a single sentence for the purposes of the meme. Fight me!)

Book #5 -- final sentence of the book: "Eunice picked up her bag and guitar and closed the door to the storm."

Make the five sentences into a paragraph:

Anyone can write about a large city--large cities are open to everyone--but small cities can only be portrayed by people who love them. However, I haven't yet read V.W.'s book. What amazing childishness these old people were content to live in! 'I know.' Verna dropped the packages. A hard, harsh sob pressed at her throat. 'I hate him.' Eunice picked up her bag and guitar and closed the door to the storm.

I promise it wouldn't make any more sense if I chose another option for step 5.

Book #1: Friendly City by Sofia Samatar
Book #2: The Diaries of Sylvia Townsend Warner, ed. Claire Harman
Book #3: Ready or Not by Mary Stolz
Book #4: The Room Opposite and Other Stories by F.M. Mayor
Book #5: Mojo Hand: An Orphic Tale by J.J. Phillips

Oh right! I completely forgot to post about the FIRST thing I consumed specifically for Hugo homework, which was actually KPop Demon Hunters. I was home alone when the Hugo shortlist came out, and it’s on Netflix, so that seemed like a good way to pass the time. I feel like all my friends have watched KPop Demon Hunters already, but I’ve been low-key avoiding it because, a) I have no interest in KPop and b) anime is basically one of my anti-genres/mediums, where even if it’s about something I like, the anime style makes it more difficult for me to enjoy the story (I know this isn’t anime per se, but it was indeed too anime for me, as friends who know my anime opinions warned me), and that seemed like a bad combination to subject myself to for no reason. But Hugo homework is a reason, and I’ve subjected myself to way worse for its sake.

Honestly, I enjoyed it more than I expected, although to be fair my expectations were quite low. ( More,with spoilers )

I’m sure there were deeper things and also inside jokes I was missing, but I enjoyed it on my level anyway. I haven’t (yet, but I’m not sure if I will, either) watched any of the other nominees, so I have nothing to compare it to, but on its own merits, I wouldn’t be mad if it won.

Back to Elis & John. And in my “Retro Oner” journey, I’m working through the Radio X episodes ( May - December 2016 )

And, outside the cut for easy finding: Radio X episode 117, 9:56 – Elis singing in Welsh, which I don’t think I’ve ever heard before, and it is incredibly charming! Not just the singing, but the tiny stumble as he translates it into English for them, including having to switch the noun-adjective order. I mean, I love hearing Elis sing and I love hearing Elis speak Welsh, so it figures I’d love it when he was doing both at once, so no surprise there, but I just really, really love it, out of all proportion to the length of the clip and inanity of the song. (I’ve listened to it so many times XD)

I might be crazy, but I just started rewatching Teen Wolf.
Now I want to make icons of the show.
So, I thought it would be fun if we had a battle.
Would anybody be interested in a Teen Wolf battle?
Please comment below. :)

Resident Evil Requiem (2026)

Reading: I thought Sarah Rees Brennan's All Hail Chaos was a very satisfying followup to Long Live Evil, which is always a relief. One more to go! (The third book's title has been announced as Kill Your Darlings; I don't think a release date has been set yet?)

Someday I'll learn to properly make note of whether an ebook is a novella. Fonda Lee's Untethered Sky? A novella. Hopefully I got it on sale, given novella pricing in general, but I did really enjoy it.

Current read: To Ride a Rising Storm (Moniquill Blackgoose), just a few chapters in.

I also read The Vegetable Gardener's Bible (10th anniversary/2nd edition) up to the point where it starts going vegetable by vegetable, and then only read about the ones we're planting. (And I skipped the chapter on compost, because it's about making compost, and WOW do we not have space for that, even if we had the inclination.)

Watching: Another episode or two each of Justice in the Dark and Witch Hat Atelier.

Growing:

scruloose got the planter assembled last weekend (IIRC) and we put a fair amount of soil in at the time (enough to keep it solidly in place, basically), but today we finally got out and finished filling it with the veggie-friendly soil and compost and actually planted the various lettuce and spinach seeds, leaving room for (we hope) a basil plant and a cabbage to go in.

scruloose also got the frame for the planter's covers assembled and installed (the mesh cover is in place now).

We still haven't decided the ultimate fate of the disappointing Bloomerang lilac, but while we were out there

scruloose gave it an aggressive pruning back so that it isn't taking up such a large proportion of our very limited space.

I just checked out the window, and as of 3:10 PM, the shade line is riiiiight at the edge of the planter and about to start creeping over it. (Any tomatoes we buy and the other type of cabbage will be going in pots on the other side of it, so hopefully will get at least a bit more sunlight each day.) I don't know yet what time that space starts getting direct sunlight in the morning.

ETA: By 3:40 PM, the planter is completely shaded, and the shade line is hitting the edge of the pot we had the Tiny Tim tomato in last year.

Current Mood: okay
