It was very much a Monday yesterday.

Went to the gym and was waving my phone at the scanner to get in, and each time I tried the door, was denied access. At which point, the receptionist pointed out my phone was the wrong way around, and I was scanning myself.

Then the lady from class I know came over for a chat as I was cooling down on the recumbent bike, and because I was distracted I missed the workout finished screen so didn't get to scan and log it. 40 tracked minutes, gone!

Good thing though, Kayleigh and Lucy are thinking about joining the gym, and if they say I referred them I'll get two free months on my account which will be a big help.

We've been to the cinema three times since I last posted, The Ballad of Wallis Island, was much better than I expected. Jurassic World Rebirth was entertaining enough, though had a very flimsy plot, and then Superman, which I loved! With Superdog being a highlight ♥

Sadly, the cinema etiquette for Superman was the worst I've seen for a while, with three girls in the row in front snap chatting and talking throughout, while the young couple on the couch next to mine were very irritating, loudly smacking kisses on each other, the girl getting up three different times for food, then dropped something so that they were both scrabbling around on the floor, and at one point, the guy actually vaped in his seat.

But this was balanced out by the young boy and his dad on the couch, the other side of us. I was a bit dubious if he'd last the whole film, but he was entranced the whole way through, exclaiming out loud with excitement at various points, which is noise I don't mind at all.

I was thrilled to see that Ted Lasso season four is filming, though am sad that it seems some of the main cast won't be appearing. I guess it makes sense if they're going to focus on the ladies team, but I do hope some missing cast do pop up on occasions. Especially Jamie, though if he doesn't, in my mind, he's still happily living with Keeley and Roy.

Of course, this led me to want another series rewatch, but as I can't, instead I've been watching a Jamie fanvid I love as it shows his character growth beautifully. It was [personal profile] misbegotten who linked me to it, and since then I've watched lots.

Tunnel of Love
Creative: Write a love poem to anyone or anything you like


so I mentioned I had done this one but was holding off posting it because it was for D&D. well, it came up in yesterday's session so now I can share it :D

for some context, this is my legend of zelda based campaign. [personal profile] shadowhive's character, a zora druid named ahno, has had an ongoing clueless academics flirting thing going on for a while with an npc, shad (the twilight princess character but reworked for my purposes), and we're about to have a gala at hyrule castle so I had shad follow some info he got about zora courtship rituals from our other zora pc.

one of the things forte mentioned was that zora will write or perform love songs for each other. shad is very much an academic and not a musician, so I had him present ahno with a translation of an ancient love poem he had found. of course I realised that meant I then had to write the love poem, but hey ho. in game I said it was a love poem written by a river zora who fell in love with a sea zora. shad is hylian, so the metaphor for people from two different places coming together held up.

I'm going to post a screenshot because it is specifically formatted and I'm not savvy enough to copy it over correctly on here, but I will transcribe it below.

I was at the gym this morning using the lat pull down machine that's in the free weight section. I'd done two reps when one of the muscle guys came over and said he'd noticed I was using a narrow grip, and he thought a different attachment would work better for me. Read more... )

Challenge #4

Fun House
Journaling: What is making you smile these days? Create a top 10 list of anything you want to talk about.
Creative: Write from the perspective of a house or other location.


These guys, MCR! I've been enjoying watching footage and seeing new photos from their concert so much. My love isn't as intense as it was in my height of bandom days, but it's still there, and I still think Mikey is hot like fire.

Seeing him with his bro, how happy he looked throughout that surreal, weird and yet awesome show, well it made me smile, too. Also, comments from Gabe and Travis on Mikey's Insta post, it was like being thrown back in time in the best way.

So, lets go old skool and have a top ten plus four picspam. behind here )

Fun House
Creative: Write from the perspective of a house or other location.


I decided to write a poem, because that's my go to for creative writing.

Psychometry

These bricks hold so much within
Not just space but time as well
The lives I've housed all leave their marks --
Some like freckles, some like scars

I've witnessed love, I've sutured loss
I've kept out danger and bottled up regret
These emotions coat my rooms like fresh paint,
Or fester beneath the surface like mould

Listen closely and you might hear
Echoes of the moments I've been fed,
From first steps to last breaths --
Every house is haunted in the end.

"If walls could talk", the saying goes;
No words I speak but my stone still knows

and an angel's kiss in spring

I'm skipping ahead in [community profile] sunshine_revival for now! as mentioned I have completed challenge #2 but I can't post it yet because I'm using it in D&D and don't want my players who follow me to see it before it comes up in session. which could happen today!! but we'll see how it goes lol.

Challenge #3
Creative prompt: Draw art of or make graphics of summer foods, or post your favorite summer recipes. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I love food and cooking! when it comes to recipes I'm more of the sorcerer class rather than wizard; I just do what feels right rather than consulting a spellbook recipe book. I will use recipes as a jumping off point though and then just adapt as I see fit or once I've made it a couple of times and feel confident enough to play around. when I think of summer foods my mind goes straight to fruits: strawberries and cherries in particular, but I also love the fresh zesty taste of citrus fruits when it's really hot out. all my favourite summery cocktails are citrusy in nature.

I'm making slow cooker lemon chicken for dinner today and that feels like a good summery meal so I'll share that one. as I said, I'm very improvisational with recipes so this more guidelines; do what you will with it!
