You know how one can comfort eat? I just comfort bought yarn.
_But in my defence_; the banks have been bitches today, and it was 100% natural fibres - silk/merino/wool! (Retreats hissing into my yarn cupboard.)

The embroidery design on Ah Shu's red collar is *chef's kiss*!

I always save her reviews until after I've seen the drama, for that reason. Then I quite enjoy comparing how far apart we are. And she always have some interesting background info (or juicy goss :P).

I wonder if this is one of those C-dramas I'll end up loving and AvenueX hating*? Only time will tell. But a drama where the main male lead can identify cloth and provenance of every detail in the main female lead's (stolen) outfit speaks to me.
(*That's usually what happens.)

Unfortunately I couldn't comment on C-drama tonight, because my cat literally sat on my hands. Normally I just continue my bullshit the next evening, but this excuse was too good to pass over.

This is the face of a cat who wasn't allowed to go out today. I'll probably be dragged to court for Crimes Against Cathood.

TIL that if you search for "Hindenboob" on DuckDuckGo the first hit is Wikipedia -> The Skywhale. (Which was exactly what I wanted, btw.)

Yep - both as himself and as the "prince" he played to lure out some murderers. Historical accuracy isn't high on the priorities for this drama 😄

2024-06-14 20:53:14

She's not that impressed, but she makes a serious effort watching.

Looking good! I see you'll pass my home (give or take a few kms) so here's the local news; the mosquitoes are hatching and hungry - you may want to stock up on extra Mygga/Djungelolja.

@npub1y8w…x20n Has to be! And that may be the reason you never tell the fairies your name. If you do they habitually delete it, and you don't know who you are anymore.

I had to read through an entire script for a Bridgerton episode today. For some reason I hated it intensly, but on the other hand it answered a question that's been bothering me for months; I can now safely say I'm just as bad at remembering European names as I am with Chinese.
On an unrelated note - I just read up on the Peterloo Massacre.

Hm. I realised I want a bad(ish) c-drama. My life is so full of turmoil I don't want to be shaken or moved, I just want a story. Sword and Fairy seems to fit the bill. Unless the female lead irritate the heck of me I'll stick with this one.

TBF normally the deer (gently) chase her. They think she's a furry little cutiepie. She thinks they're rodents of rudely large size 😄. I think she took advantage of me startling the doe.

@npub1uw8…88kr
Heh! I had the miniature version of this problem today; I heard something on the porch and went to let in the cat - only to startle a doe who ran away over the yard. The cat returned after about an hour, and why the deer thought my entrance was interesting we'll never know 😄

@npub1y8w…x20n My purse strings are extremely tight unfortunately, but I'll probably add iQiyi once they loosen up a bit. They have a pretty nice selection!

2024-02-03 20:10:45

Suffering c-drama hangover after Douluo Continent. It looks like I've watched everything I want to see on Viki, save for the end of Parallel World and Ancient Detective. The latter lacks channel manager so it's out of reach. Debating whether it's worth paying for an iQIYI...
*stares at iQIYI start page*
Hold on! They have "The Legend of Herring"! The only thing that would be more tempting to a Swede would be "The Dragon Potato!"
*looks up what a VIP pass would cost*

@npub1y8w…x20n It is! I'm only ~5 episodes in, but I truly enjoy the dynamics between Tang Fan and Sui Zhou! And Tang Fan's habit of running for the Best Meal Ever whenever he sees it. (I just noticed it's produced by Jackie Chan, which kinda' explains a lot.)

Watching 'The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty', because a threadbare, foodie official who spend most of his days writing novels is relatable...
...for some reason.

I just _can't_ with the Scheming Scorn Woman trope. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. Both because the behaviour itself is mean, but also because it's such a stinky depiction of women. And I can't in any way see what the appeal is to keep a trope like that in a story. It's just ugly!
I need to see if I can find a written summary of the episodes online, because I can't watch beyond this point.

*Till the End of the Moon - 24 ep on Viki*
Me: Can that be right? That's practically bite sized? I feel kind of... robbed? Shouldn't it be at least 36 episodes? I mean...
*gets the great idea to search online*
Me: _40_ episodes. That's more like it! Guess I won't binge ep 16 to 24 today, though...

My problem with pictures on my blog has developed to "slog research on the web". Since it'll take a while I might as well post the question here:
Had anyone else had troubles with pictures on their wordpress blog, namely that the alt-text shows up, but not the pictures themselves? Any solution? (Neither TwentyTwentyThree nor Hestia works, currently.)
Whatever bug it is, it's eaten pictures that previously showed up fine.

I promised you a post about Chinese libraries in c-drama and Western movies. Unfortunately I'm having picture issues, and I don't know if it's a 5min solution, or a ten day hassle. To not leave you hanging I'll post a thread about it. Hold on to your tights for bamboo, books, and bindings!
Let's start with this still from "The Last Emperor" - this is what you get if you search for it + library on YouTube
