Weekend, with non-weekend musings, questions, and such...

[aldersprig]

 

• This weekend was a weekend of “oh, well, maybe later?” We went a lot of places, but mostly achieved very little.  However, it RAINED!  Lots!  *dances around in the rain*
  (Also, we did a lot of shopping, but that’s not all that exciting).
  
  

  • I’ve been thinking that for Lexember — or possibly before — I’ll do two “translation” projects — a portion of an illuminated page in Old Tongue (the language of the Ellehemaei in Fae Apoc/Addergoole) and a poem in Calenyen (for Reiassan).
    
    Is there anything in particular you’d like to see “translated” for such projects?

• We went to see Ghostbusters.  My “review”, such as it is, can be seen here (warning — non-positive): https://twitter.com/lynthornealder/status/764593963034669056
  
  

• We got an Instant Pot! It’s an electric pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker, etc, etc.  We made steel cut oats in it, and they turned out pretty awesome.  
  See the Kitchn’s article on the Instant Pot here — https://t.co/P35KyOxnNm
  
  

• The Shannara TV series has very little to do with my memories of the books, but those memories are 30-some years old.  Also? So much eye candy, and much of it male!
  
  

• If anyone has any more pictures of this guy, cosplaying as Emergency Costume Repair, I’d love to see them.  Great idea!
  
  

• Shutsumon introduced me to #WebFictionChat, and they are having a monthly Serial Book Club.  Check it out: https://twitter.com/Chrys_Kelly_/status/763776957314129920
  
  

• Random moment of awesome while looking into illuminated texts — https://t.co/AazDZfuX0m this dragon climbing his way out of the text.
  
  

• There is still one 250-word slot open in “Leave a Comment, get a fic” over at Addergoole’s new site.
  
  

• Annnnd the meta-conversation with Jaco from Lady Taisiya’s Fourth Husband is still going strong over here: http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/tag/meta-conversations

Ooo, an illuminated page in Old Tongue sounds awesome. Frodleikr, perhaps?

And yay for rain! We just had an extremely delightful thunderstorm here--well, my cat would disagree on it being delightful, but the husband and I loved it.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of doing Frodeleikr, that's an interesting option!!

It's supposed to rain more today, too, *fingerscrossed*
