vital functions
Feb. 16th, 2020 09:51 pmReading. The Will to Change (2004), bell hooks. ( Read more... )
This came due at the library (with someone else having placed a hold) before I quite managed to finish it, so once they're done with it I have another two-or-so chapters to read.
Hexarchate Stories, Yoon Ha Lee. I! loved this! ( Spoilers. )
The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth. I picked this up in early January; I've been tidying gently over the course of a (very rainy) weekend, and reading this now counts as Tidying because it was In A Pile On The Sofa and needs Finishing so it can get Put Away. Here is where I nod solemnly.
Watching. We showed![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
alexwlchan the first episode of She-Ra. I think we have a convert.
Listening. Welp we're now an eighth of the way through the second season of TMA. There is plot! I'm enjoying the plot! I cackled a lot at the S1 Q&A.
I think we've now met two of the Michaels? Two of the Michaels.
Cooking. A variant on sad Alex rice, involving lots of sesame oil and some sesame seeds and Cut Price Broccoli Yes Please And Thank You.
Some fig and hazelnut sourdough, because I had a craving, in addition to the Ordinary Bread.
Growing. I partially crushed the stem of the bravest of the passionfruit through clumsiness with the hat for the warm plant box. :( It hasn't died yet, though, so -- fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.
The lemon is down to about three leaves, sigh. I'm hoping it holds on 'til it warms up enough I can sit it outside, because maybe more direct sunlight will help it feel better. We do what we can.
The nightshades, however, are putting out Proper Leaves; the broad beans weren't entirely dead yet when last I checked. It is time to get tomatoes started, but I'm dithering over whether to try for that in the Warm Plant Box (potentially requiring turfing some things out, which I don't think they're ready to manage just yet) or to push on ahead in the bathroom. Decisions decisions.
Observing. Snowdrops! Daffodils! Crocuses beginning to produce flowers!
Playing. I am up to the triangles in I ♥ Hue. They are... Extremely Triangles. I am not sure how I feel about this.
What else? Another Portal achievement, and progress towards a Portal 2 achievement, both slightly stymied by having made the error of updating the desktop and therefore trashing the graphics drivers again, but that isn't necessarily all bad.
Pokémon Go: SHINY MAKUHITA.
