just reached the #150 post on the jeongguk's nose series 🥺 i told myself i would reach that milestone and stop for a while to focus on what i have in mind for his birthday… so maybe i'll take that break for now, glad that i reached it a month earlier.

i won't stop creating for that series, don't you worry. i have plenty of nose moments in my head still, i haven't started giffing the run bts episodes or the other variety shows yet... i'm so far from the end of that series... matter of fact, this is a never ending series.

Chronicles of Narnia 30 Day Challenge — Day 10

Centaurs or fauns?

This is actually an easy choice: Centaurs.

Wise counselors, fierce warriors, brave leaders, humble servants. Whenever they appear, they always feel very parental, very trustable, very good with advice.

I know Oreius was made for the movie (and I have an explanation for why his name isn't a normal centaur name too), but I really love him, love to imagine how he became a father figure to Peter and Edmund especially, not just the general of their armies and their swordmaster, but also their friend and a trusted confidante.

Equally I love that in the movies Glenstorm is a descendant of Oreius, and so I imagine that the great two-handed sword he carries is the twice-reforged sword Oreius carried a thousand years earlier. (I love the way they're armed in the movies, especially the two-handed swords that feel like legends in themselves, feel like they're passed from father to son through generations.) Also I just KNOW Peter commanded Glenstorm to watch over Caspian as his own son (and Glenstorm lost a son in the raid on Miraz's castle), just like Oreius had done for him. Imagine Glenstorm and Windmane looking out for Caspian, teaching him and making sure he eats enough and gets wounds seen to, and talking about him at night before they sleep, just like they worry over their other two sons, just like parents.

Anyway, yes, I'm picking centaurs. No offense to fauns, they are delightful creatures and I would love to dance with them and have tea and hear their music. But I must pick. So there.

“Attics of My Life” for Day 25 of “30 Days of Dead”

It was never just exactly perfect. Yet, “Attics of My Life” was always just exactly perfect when it returned to the Grateful Dead’s repertoire after a nearly two-decade layoff.

Despite their imperfections at the mic, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick and Phil Lesh deliver Robert Hunter’s poignant words of gratitude with more sincerity of heart than perfection could ever convey.

When there were no strings to play/you played to me, they sang to sparse musical accompaniment during the encore of the mystery show to be identified on the 25th of “30 Days of Dead.”

“Thank you, all,” Weir says solemnly when it ends. “Goodnight.”

Today’s clue from GDHQ: “A song that took a 17-year hiatus from the live set, returning for the final six years.”

Tune in and turn on here.

Fun fact: “Attics” was the final song the Core Four, Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, played together, July 5, 2015, as Fare Thee Well in Chicago; read Sound Bites’ review here.

someone really should be talking about how difficult it is to plan a wedding - a gay wedding - when both of your families fucking suck

can’t help but think how noisy modern life is. the sound of planes overhead. a car rushing past. not just the noise outside but in the home. the whirr of the washing machine, the dishwasher, the tumble dryer. the hum of the laptop fan. the shower. phone notifications. an endless stream of podcasts, music, voices. the lightbulb when it hasn’t been screwed in properly. the flick of a light switch. the television murmur. the phone ringing.

i know that the standard of living we have now is, obviously, better than before. i’m not nostalgic for the past but i’d love a bit more peace and quiet!!!!!

Day 6 : Favorite Minor Character

Miyaji Kiyoshi 🍍🧡

I remember seeing Shūtoku on the screen for the first time and him being the one to catch my attention out of everyone. He looked cool and I liked his blond, fluffy hair! After I watched the Shūtoku-Rakuzan match in season 3 and heard his back story and found out more about him, I realised he was much more than a cute minor character. He also reminded me of someone... It was me, of course. We don't really look alike, but when it's about personality, we have a thing or two in common! Just like me, the only thing people around him choose to see is his irritabilty. He has a foul language and a short-temper and everybody seems to know that, but that's all they know. Even Shintarō and Kazunari thought that Kiyoshi is just scary and angry. There is just so much more about him, but it is all overshadowed by his usual moodiness. He is also really hard-working, he has good grades and is really dedicated to his hobbies. He also has a perfectionistic nature which makes him act really strict towards himself, and even others. Well, I am the same way. Always striving to be perfect in my studies and hobbies, I put a lot of pressure on myself because of it, which is usually the source of my irritability and moodiness. Even the part where I criticise others for not seeking for perfection is rather true, and I am not really proud of that. Oh, and I am also into idols, just like him! I collect albums, posters, photocards and CDs. I just don't go to concerts because the idols don't hold any tours near my country, ever...

Another little thing that we have in common is our obsession with pineapples! I don't really want to throw them onto people's heads, I just really like how they smell and taste.

Finding a character that I was so alike at a young age was very precious to me. Nothing changed after years, I still love Miyaji-San a lot! He will always have a special place in my heart! 🧡

“The Wheel” -> “I Need a Miracle” -> “Standing on the Moon” for Day 16 of “30 Days of Dead”

Abrupt transitions and scant attention to vocal codas are the order of the 16th of “30 Days of Dead.”

Culled from deep in the Vince Welnick era, “The Wheel” -> “I Need a Miracle” -> “Standing on the Moon” come from a mystery gig that featured a lively and adventurous “Space” segment, if the snippet presented here is any indication; that it stands out so much on this soundboard recording says something about what follows.

Good enough, “The Wheel” is nevertheless perfunctory with a tired-sounding Jerry Garcia leaning on Welnick and Bob Weir to carry the vocals.

Welnick is at his bluesy best on “Miracle,” adding grit and color to Weir’s celebration of debauchery even as the three singers truncate the so-often-infectious refrain and Garcia hits the first notes of “Standing on the Moon.”

Welnick opts mostly for tasteful piano sounds on the “Moon.” And though Garcia forgoes any emotional Be with yous on the outro, he channels his feelings through an unexpectedly dark guitar solo that is nearly as effective as the usual tack, albeit from 180 degrees in the other direction.

Today’s clue from GDHQ: “A trio of songs that were generally played in the post-‘Space’ part of the show from 1980 onward.”

Tune in and turn on here.
