The weekly chat posts are intended for just that, chatting among each other. What are you currently watching? Reading? What actor/idol are you currently following? What are you looking forward to? Are you busy writing, creating art? Or did you have no time at all for anything, and are bemoaning that fact?

Whatever it is, talk to us about it here. Tell us what you liked or didn't like, and if you want to talk about spoilery things, please hide them under either of these codes:

Wrangled my meme from 23 January 2024 into a slightly more Tumblr-friendly shape; reproduce and distribute freely, as long as you credit me and don’t feed it to generative AI.

Once again: happy birthday (23 January as of 19:26 US Eastern Standard Time) to Lan Wangji from Mo Dao Zu Shi and Hei Xiazi from Daomu Biji!

MSN report here, from last year. I just learned this today. If I can stop anyone else from being exposed, it's worth a reblog.

The dishes in question are basically ubiquitous in kitchens I have known and loved, so that's not great.

ETA:
Okay, now I'm just confused. The lead levels are both a) high and b) technically legal, and it may not be leaching in any case due to the processes used. I hate living in an era where I don't know which of the seven million articles titled essentially the same thing are bullshit, and which are trustworthy. I figured MSN might fact-check, but apparently Corelle has never issued a recall per se, just a "Okay, we guess you might as well buy new stuff, because it's true there's lead in the old stuff." This info from this article.

Current Mood: concerned
Current Music: Get the lead out

Couldn't they possibly have, perhaps and please, cast actors who don't look so goddamn alike for Steve & Bucky, I'm sorry, I mean Scott & Kip?

If they shave or the other one of them gets slightly more facial hair, I've not even the slightest hope here. In the sex scenes, it's like whatever, if you wanted me to know who is who, you'd light it better.

Put a shirt on. Why do you have identical torsos, one of you is a professional athlete and the other one works two jobs.

Over the past few days, I finally watched the most recent season of Only Murders in the Building and I enjoyed it tremendously. I feel like I laughed a lot more than I did last season. The thing that is so great about this show, other than all the other things that are great about it, is that the cast is so stacked that you can't play the "most famous guest star is the murderer" game. I mean, this season alone, we had ( spoilers )

In other news, we are - and possibly you are too - supposed to be getting a big winter storm this weekend so I'm thinking about baking plans. I will definitely post if I make something good. *g*

Reading the rare bird alert this morning I saw that three of four birds I'd looked for and missed in the last two days had been reported by other people.:( Very discouraging. So discouraging that I stayed in bed with a cat instead of heading out before dawn. But I can't stay in bed all day, I get bored, so I left about 8 and started my list about 8:30. Better weather than four days ago and two more species but less interesting overall. No visible raptors or quail but more Golden-crowned Sparrows than I've seen lately. Acorn Woodpecker and Dark-eye Junco were heard and seen, and the California Thrasher was singing rather than just barking. ( The list: )

A Yellow-rumped Warbler isn't generally cause for celebration but there have been very few Warblers on this trail this Winter.

U and I went down to MLK Regional Shoreline to see if we could find the Green-tailed Towhee, which she saw briefly the first time and I did see at all. We couldn't, but we birded an area we'd only seen from afar, getting a much closer view of the shorebirds that roost there: lots of American Avocets and Black-necked Stilts, lots of Willets and Marbled Godwits. We were also delighted to discover that the seasonal wetland at Garretson Point still has water and ducks two weeks plus since the last rain. I wish the Berkeley Meadow ponds were that well fed! ( A combined list: )

The Garretson Point parking lot was blocked so we parked in a little lot off Zhone Way with direct access to the Damon Slough area as well as a back route to Garretson Point. Could come in handy.

Well, there's flu in my mother's residence and she's recovering from a cold (though says she tested negative for flu and COVID), so the weekend visit with friends is canceled because they can't risk me bringing anything into their space, and the weekdays visit with other friends was already severely cut down because of recent stresses in their lives but now is further reduced to just meeting up for a short walk because they can't risk it either. I do not like this timeline.

(To be clear, I absolutely understand all my friends' reasons and I'm glad they made the calls that are right for them! And we've all planned to see each other when I hope to come down again in April. I'm just sad not to see them 1. at all 2. much now. also I was hoping 1 would want to watch HR with me)

On the other hand, this means I'll be going home before a big storm hits this weekend, which if I'd kept my original schedule might otherwise have ended up delaying me for an extra day, which would then make things tight at home because we're planning to go to Montreal right after I get back. Everything happens for the tolerable in this not yet the shittiest of all possible worlds.

I did indeed get in bed by 9:30 last night and slept pretty hard. I probably could have slept even more, but 11 hours is a pretty good night!

For some reason, I woke up with Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik in my head, and when I wondered to

angelgazing whatever happened to him, she said he co-wrote Spring Awakening, which I did not know, so good for him! From one-hit wonder to Tony winner!

On the Mets front, they finally got a centerfielder in Luis Robert Jr. I guess if he can stay healthy, he'll be an upgrade over last year, offensively at least, though I am still a Tyrone Taylor fan for his A+ defense. #better call tyrone

In other sports news, my attempt to get interested in basketball seems to have done serious damage to the Knicks. They have been losing a lot lately. Plus, everyone I mentioned it to was like, don't do that. I didn't realize people in my wider circle felt that way about basketball. I guess there's always the Liberty! I should figure out when that season starts. Or the Sirens for hockey, but I don't think they've been very good either. Just a bad time all round for NY sports, I guess. And it's not like I'm a fair weather fan, though this certainly sounds like it - it's just I'd like to root for a team that isn't completely terrible, you know? As a treat!

On the books front, there is finally cover art and a real blurb for Dungeon Crawler Carl 8: Parade of Horribles, but still no Kindle* or e-book edition, so I broke down and pre-ordered the hardcover. (I can't do audiobooks. I've tried.) I also decided to do a reread of the series, because I've been trying to map out all the various stuff that needs resolving - and it is A LOT - so I wanted it to be fresh in my mind. So at some point there will be a post that is basically me as that Charlie Day-at-the-murder-board meme trying to figure it all out. *hands*

*I realize that I probably need to do a "free trial" of Kindle Unlimited to get the Kindle edition but I do not want to do that at this time. As the release date gets closer, we'll see if a Kindle edition shows up and I end up cancelling the hardcover, as I would prefer not to buy a hardcover tbh. I have all the rest on kindle, which is where I do 99.5% of my book-reading these days.

So anyway, I guess for the Wednesday reading meme, I just finished a reread of book 1 of Dungeon Crawler Carl and started rereading book 2: Carl's Doomsday Scenario. And I will probably read book 3: The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook after that and so on and so forth. *wry*

I made a third try for the Tennesee Warbler at Booker T Anderson, but still no joy. I briefly had hope but it was an Orange-crowned, similar enough to get me excited. Oh, well. The trees were full of Yellow-rumped Warblers and I also found two Townsend's that were very cooperative, ignoring me as they flitted around it the very nearby willows. Again there was a Purple Finch singing, and I found an American Goldfinch eating catkins with a Lesser. So I had an enjoyable hour and a half even without the star bird. ( The list: )

From there I crossed the freeway, parked at Richmond Marina, and walked around the north side of the harbor to get the other side of Winter. The first bird I saw was a Spotted Sandpiper.:) I saw small Grebes of all three species, quite a few Bufflehead, some Scaup, and a Surf Scoter or two, but no other ducks. ( Another list: )

The biggest surprise was hearing no Yellow-rumped Warblers!

Wow, I only made one post last year? I'm here every day, reading, so I keep up with anyone still posting here.

I didn't put up the Yuletide polls this year. Just didn't have the oomph. It's been an oomph-sapping kind of year or so, hasn't it? (Fuck me -- just looked it up, and it's literally the one-year anniversary of that shitbag's inaguration.)

ANYWAY. Fun stuff. Things I have posted since...a while ago.

So as you can see, I'm generally obsessed with those three things. Putting more silliness and gay porn into the world.
