It felt like I was thrown against a wall. I was in utter shock. I swear I couldn't say or even feel anything but pure emptiness for - I don't even know how long! I do like the song in the factory near the start. But yeah, I haven't revisited anything from the movie since.

Doooo iiittt!

I still haven't fully recovered from Dancer In The Dark. And I saw it quite a while ago.

It's definitely why language needs to be taught by people, and not AI (Duolingo!)

PlayStation end of year wrap up. Top 5. E33: 86 hrs 56 trophies. Skyrim: 65 hrs 34 trophies. AC Unity: 36 hrs 31 trophies. Far Cry 3: 29 hrs 23 trophies. Synth Riders: 11 hrs 6 trophies.

267 hours of gameplay.

195 new trophies including my only platinum trophy via CO: E33

Did the thing.

Just to be clear: I watched this last night for the first time. I dug it.

I Saw The TV Glow

Yay! Soup Party!

*whimper* 🥵

The access to purchase special merch is so wild to me. Three tour guides? Why? Is it because it's 12 hrs and they only want to staff this with part timers? $14k for... nothing, really. Amazing how much nothing is included. Bah!

Ok. DMs open to folks that I follow, rather than nobody.

Ouch.

They're evidently having the most unimpressive experience around.

He's naked, they're afraid.

Language is weird and difficult and exhausting. I couldn't imagine having to teach English to anyone. An actual nightmare. 😭

That's so odd. I think I've used "bonne" every other time, because I know I've said "bonne nuit" on multiple occasions here. Thanks though! Much appreciated!

Purloining another @morbidlygay.bsky.social idea. First was using fabric to cover the inside back of a bookcase. This one will be: playing all my vinyl albums in order, & showing them off here. ~ 200 of them. Starting Jan 1, 2026. My reticence is in knowing myself. I shall ponder this. Thoughts?

Gotta keep those affiliate link products affordable! Maybe she has the cheap stuff for a BM, and splashes out (ew) on some Veuve Clicquot in Baccarat crystal for bath time?

This TikTok? It's basically an ad. There are tons more like it. There are (usually) affiliate links to *everything* in the video w/ the original TikTok. Rage bait gets more interaction. I see people in the comments to this post point out different items (all being sold).

I took it down. It didn't feel right. Maybe it's an abundance of caution, but it didn't feel good while up. And I got lucky with that last collapse in that only one thing broke. Damn. Oh well.

Finally climbed my ladder to dust the top of the blades on my ceiling fan. No clue how long it's been since it was last dusted. But it's been a while. Consider yourselves lucky that I wasn't in the mood to photograph and post that. No dead bugs (that I saw) so, yay?

Yup!

You too can buy yourself a FIFA trophy.

OK. Wall anchors installed. Shelf reattached to the wall. It seems solid. Seems. Time will tell.

Slept surprisingly well, given the Great Shelf Fall of Last Night. Actually, aside from the one awesome picture frame - nothing broke. I don't even see any dents in anything (though I haven't looked all that thoroughly.)

This just made so much more work for me. Sad face. Also woke me right up, so I'll need to come down again. Rude. All will be dealt with after a long good night's sleep. Weh.

Photo of my broken frame. The one that looked like a window from a Gothic cathedral.

Damn! Had a shelf decide it didn't want to be there anymore, and so it came off the wall. I'm fine, most everything else seems fine but I lost the frame for the "Arrête!" Patch and that is truly tragic. Oh well, life soldiers. onwards.

Bon Nuit, beauties!

Lego Haunted House drop ride, small Lego (decorative) fountain, and a plushie Cthulhu just sitting on the corner of the etagere, being adorable. The core set for the board game: Mansions of Madness.

Moved some stuff around. Trying to figure out where I want to move my Outpost 31 (The Thing) flag yet. But yes. More focus on the Mansions and the Madness therein.

Did a bunch of dusting in places I need a ladder to get to, or shift some stuff around. Ew. Gross. Maybe I should just live in a full hazmat suit. *Shudder*
