Wilderness years again for the TV show
Jun. 11th, 2026 09:09 ambeccaelizabethI read about Doctor Who being out until they find new people to make it.
I suggest they use the Piper reveal to be the Bad Wolf turning up to rewrite time a bit and take a new angle on the same TARDIS team.
Annoy everyone.

Just three co-jerks together in an awkward situation
Jun. 11th, 2026 01:33 amsovayI spent far too much of my day engaged in the further pursuit of bureaucracy. Ironically I feel that I may be coming out of the tunnel vision of the last few years when I was focused almost exclusively on not dying because I seem to be seized with chronic low-grade grief. I was able to present spatch with his CD of Harpo Speaks! The Riverside Symphony Concert (1964/2026) which I had ordered for him the second I knew of its existence. Yesterday I did actually run screaming into the afternoon and took a couple of pictures to prove it.
( Thankfully, summer's here. )
WERS played the Last Dinner Party's "Big Dog" (2026) and I have been playing it ever since. I haven't heard someone wail that hard into a chorus since '90's PJ Harvey.

At some point, did something go wrong in your life?
Jun. 10th, 2026 09:20 pmglowingfishWell, that is an eye-catching title!
I was going to ask a more narrow question, but I thought about it more until I decided to phrase it this way.
Do you feel there was some axial period of your life, some juncture or turning point, where you were supposed to grow and mature, but you didn't? Some lost opportunity, either from external or internal factors, that didn't happen, and you are trying to reroute around it since?
I guess the reason I ask is that for me, it seems this is the case, and I kind of took it for granted that everyone would have a similar story. But maybe it doesn't come up for other people.
(My original question was going to be specifically about adolescence, but maybe that wouldn't be the turning point for other people).
More Fun with Sidequests! ^ o^)/
Jun. 10th, 2026 08:35 pmhaunted_cherriesPlus Ellipsus woke up and was like CHRISTMAS FOR EVERYBODY with their new Ellipsus Plus thing (which honestly looks COOL AS FUCK and is a breath of fresh air), so check it out if ya feel like it!
Touching on yesterday's post, I decided to take the non-rotting route today (with my strawberry Dr. Pepper in tow) and actually take another peek into the Gaping Maw to see if I could put a few words to ANYTHING really. I am once again rotatinggoing crazy over my OC x Canon ship from 14 Days with You, so I figured why not? (YES I said the first part of that sentence in the Bernie Sanders voice. NO I am not accepting criticism at this time. xD)
Not only did I finish a WIP that was already close to being done, finishing that one led to finally drafting the setup for another shorter chatfic that'll be in that series, as well! PROGRESS IS BEING MADE...SOMEHOW
Was gonna do some 14DWY-specific mumbling about Tristan's story but I'll save that for its own separate post! That aside it DOES feel nice to actually set aside time to work on his story a little! I tried to put it to the back of my mind but I REALLY DO miss my OCs. I usually wanna gush about them but haven't really had the spoons lately due to a multitude of IRL stuff, but HEY slowly/surely we'll get there. Doing this little thing of posting something here everyday might be helping a bit, too. xD
Finding my way back to the fun of self-indulgence and trying to get through another long ass week. ❤️

Jun. 10th, 2026 08:56 pmolivermossI've talked a bit about this, but we've now got numbers. 60-80% of PWHL ticket buyers have never been to a live NHL game. It's a a new market, expanding hockey. It's not cannibalizing the NHL market or other markets. It's also different fans with different expectations. Interestingly, the mostly-female Pdub market isn't interesting in family-friendliness. NHL games/teams put a high emphasis on being for the whole family, but Pdub fans are there to see high levels of skill and competition.
If this is the humidity we're going to have all summer
Jun. 10th, 2026 11:03 pmcornerofmadnessthen I'm ready for October. If I wanted Florida, I would have stayed in Florida. I do not like Florida type weather (okay it's tolerable in Jan/Feb) Ugh. This is why I'm thinking the SW to Snowbird to when I'm older.
Today feels like I accomplished nothing. I cleaned the computer room more. Dropped the task chair on my big toe and made it bleed. Cut the base of my left thumb open on god knows what. Cleaning sucks.
Got rejected from one vampire open call. Plan to look this one over and send it to the new vampire one. It's historic and I think that is really a hard sell in a lot of places.
What I Just Finished Reading:
Our Sisters Keeper - a very weird own voices black magic setting in the 1920s, has some serious creepy vibes
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End vol 1 - A lot of my friends love th is so I did buy vol 2 even though I was kinda bored with this. It's a neat idea. Frieren is an elf so she is going to way outlive her adventuring partners and she is trying to find a way to connect...I guess. I dunno. I didn't much like her so...
Sleeping on Paper Boats (Kami no Fune de Nemuru) I just happened to get drawn in by the cover and for a second I was going to pass because as much as I love queer fic I am NOT a a BL fan and this is BL based on the manga line SuBLime manga. Ha. My problem with BL is how hard SO much of it leans into the ABO omegaverse stuff. I dislike ABO, hard. Also as someone who has had it happen more than once with a NO being heard as a yes I find that shit triggering.
That said this was really interesting to me. It's horror/romance and I am looking forward to getting the next volume.
What I am Currently Reading:
The Death Card - currently struggling to get into it
Cloak and Dagger Club - a post WWI mystery that I'm enjoying so far
What I Plan to Read Next: some of my looming arcs and things for popsugar

Jun. 10th, 2026 08:23 pmtorachan1. The car charger arrived today so I confirmed with the electrician and he'll be out tomorrow morning to install!
2. When Carla was out running errands today she happened to be near Uncle Tetsu's Cheesecake and there was a board outside with some new seasonal items, including black sesame tarts, so she got a couple of those for us to have for dessert tonight. We haven't had them yet, but I cannot imagine them not being delicious. I love pretty much any black sesame desert!
3. She also got some yummy rolls for us to have with the last of our tuna salad tonight for dinner. They made such good little mini sandwiches.
4. Jasper!
