vital functions

Reading. Fire and Hemlock, Diana Wynne Jones. Further explanation of what was even going on has been very kindly provided, and I've been rereading the last couple of chapters and letting it all slot into place!

Watching. More She-Ra. They all still need a lot of therapy. ( Read more... )

Listening. DEATH TO THE MECHANISMS, twice: once, in person, on Saturday night; piecemeal, the livestream, on Sunday. ("Your First Mate" -- my HEART.) A little way into their first set on the Saturday I really properly actually realised that That's It, That's The Mechs Content, There Isn't Going To Be Any More, If I Want More I'm Going To Have To Dust Off My Best Jonny Voice And Write It Myself. And -- it has been so strange having so many TMA fans present for this-the-end, just beginning to get into them, while I was hanging out near the front of the stage with friends who were in the living room where a lot of OUAT...IS got written, and ended up in a hugpile with a Mechanism as they came off stage, and -- good grief it's just been a lot of my life, has this band.

Relatedly: we're now up to episode 7 of The Magnus Archives. ( Read more... )

Cooking. ( Read more... )

Eating. Bisha restaurant! Eritrean food a few doors down from Nambucca, where we saw the Mechs. Lots of familiar food, and also a mushroom thing and a beetroot thing and a green lentil thing I'd never had before, all of which I was Very Into.

Growing. Headlines first: treated the lemon with pesticide on Friday; no more leaf drop since, as far as I can tell. Fingers crossed that the recovery continues.

Playing. Another week in which I have managed to play At Least One Note every day on the horn!

I have also completed my first playthrough of the main game of Portal 2, ( which is to say... )

Poking. I have been Very Pleased by the new Pokémon various, and also by hatching a 100% IV Tepig.
