When everything teaches drowning…you may want to learn to swim

Sooo…I accidentally joined a cult (again) and monumentally destabilized myself and went into the throes of my 975th existential crisis. More on that later… Meanwhile, we are back. Hello, how are you, how have your last few months been? I fell apart and came back together, and I’m liking the redesign and remodeling. In working with and honoring my sacred time, creating my own version of a Red…

Breaking the tie... again!

I was planning on ending this round... well, technically yesterday since the clocks haven't changed yet, but I can't do that as long as we have a tie this round! That's right, for the fourth time in five rounds, we have at least one tie!

Vote here if you haven't already!

Advertised as a Hobbit House, this home looks like it was a Popular Mechanics-type build fashioned from a surplus tunnel liner from the energy conservation 70s, (it was built in 1972), and sprayed with copious amounts of foam. For sale in River Falls, Wisconsin for $315K. 

Don’t hit your head on the door- stay to the left.

Living room/dining room combo. I wonder if it was freshly painted, b/c I would think that it would be so hard to keep textured walls clean. It has a nice round sky light and a fireplace. 

Mid-century modern kitchen. Look at the sculptural elements - kind of looks like an igloo. 

It has 2 bdms with built-ins.

I would imagine that the long “bureau” is storage. 

There is another fireplace at the back of the home- unless this is the main bdm? I’m kind of confused.

There are 2 baths. Notice how the dowel towel (it rhymes) holders are installed right into the foam. Look at the recessed electrical switches.

Nice, a laundry room is always welcome.

This might be the 2nd bdm. I notice that the home snakes around underground, b/c the lining is probably flexible.

There appear to be several entrances. Lots of skylights. 

Nice big garage. I like it, what do you think?

Ok. Theory time is upon us again. I've been thinking about that screenshot of Lucy and Chris speaking with the Feds about what looks like an online chat group where Chris is discussing Rosalind and how much he wants to be on TV to talk about her almost killing him. Upon my 975th re-watch of 5x1, I noticed how he perked up when he was talking to Del Monte after Rosalind had escaped. Del Monte appeared to regret pushing so hard to try Rosalind for Caleb's crimes. He admits he wanted the glory of trying that case. It clicked with me that he's using this whole thing to try to up his public visibility to further his career. That's why he inserted himself into Lucy's trial prep. He was totally right when he said that it could be seen as a conflict of interest to prep her for her testimony. And why had he watched that video so many times that he got the song stuck in his head when it was implied that he wasn't heavily involved in the case until the lawyer Lucy had been working with got sick? Because he wanted to be part of that trial desperately. He has been inserting himself into Lucy's life from the get go. I'd bet dollars to donuts that he suddenly "changed" his mind about trying Tyler after he figured out who Lucy was. And I think the reason he was always more serious in the relationship is because he thinks it will get his name out there even more if he marries Rosalind's only survivor. He just wants to be the star of a 20/20 episode and use that to build himself up even more. I bet he sees himself as a legal expert on CNN. The entire time I've been writing this I have been getting more and more pissed. If I'm right, then I bet it all comes out in episode 3 and Lucy ends up dumping his sorry ass. Which is exactly what he deserves for coming between Chenford.

Do you want to know how Star Vs. the Forces of Evil would have ended if I'd written the show?

Sure.

Jung = 6th most common Korean surname (4.45%)

Jeon = 14th most common Korean surname (1.56%)

Min = 39th most common Korean surname (0.39%)

fun fact - people with the 3 most common surnames (Kim, Lee, Park) make up around 40.5% of the Korean population. 3/7 (42.9%) of BTS members have the last name Kim, and 4/7 (57.1%) have the last name Kim or Park.

and a rough translation of the meanings behind the Hanja (Chinese characters) that make up their names:

Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis

We estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) attributable to and associated with bacterial AMR for 23 pathogens and 88 pathogen–drug combinations in 204 countries and territories in 2019. We obtained data from systematic literature reviews, hospital systems, surveillance systems, and other sources, covering 471 million individual records or isolates and 7585 study-location-years. We used predictive statistical modelling to produce estimates of AMR burden for all locations, including for locations with no data. Our approach can be divided into five broad components: number of deaths where infection played a role, proportion of infectious deaths attributable to a given infectious syndrome, proportion of infectious syndrome deaths attributable to a given pathogen, the percentage of a given pathogen resistant to an antibiotic of interest, and the excess risk of death or duration of an infection associated with this resistance. Using these components, we estimated disease burden based on two counterfactuals: deaths attributable to AMR (based on an alternative scenario in which all drug-resistant infections were replaced by drug-susceptible infections), and deaths associated with AMR (based on an alternative scenario in which all drug-resistant infections were replaced by no infection). We generated 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) for final estimates as the 25th and 975th ordered values across 1000 posterior draws, and models were cross-validated for out-of-sample predictive validity. We present final estimates aggregated to the global and regional level.

TV Guide  - April 8 - 14, 1961

Lori Martin ( born Dawn Catherine Menzer, April 18, 1947 – April 4, 2010) Film and television actress. 

Early in her career she appeared in several television series, including Medic, Wagon Train, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Leave It to Beaver, and Whirlybirds. 

At the age of 12, Martin was the 975th young hopeful to be auditioned for the role of Velvet Brown in the NBC television version of National Velvet, a role which brought her to wide attention. After being included in the final three, she was interviewed ten more times before winning the part. When she won the role, her name was changed from Dawn Menzer to "Lori Martin". On the change of name, Martin later said that, "I didn't like the name Lori at first. But I like it now. The reason I like it now is I've been brainwashed!" The show ran for fifty-eight episodes between 1960 and 1962.

After National Velvet she made guest appearances in such television series as The Donna Reed Show, Slattery's People, Sam Benedict, Breaking Point, Please Don't Eat The Daisies, My Three Sons, and Family Affair.  (Wikipedia)

I’ve been watching the numbers trickling in the past couple days, and today was the day: my moon and sun embroidery post got it’s 975th note, which now makes it my most popular post! Usually if a post of mine gets, say, TEN notes I feel like it’s a pretty popular post, so 975 is astounding. 

I had only one other post that was ever hugely popular, my mini felt halla (which I won’t link to because I want it to remain static at 974 notes now.) I always felt that it was somehow cheating by getting that many notes because it was a fandom creation, the cute deer creature from Dragon Age (which I don’t even play, I just made it for my friend). It got lots of notes from fans of the games, and I felt like I (and it) didn’t deserve the attention - or if it did, then my other felt creatures ought to merit the same attention (foxes, deer, birds etc). And since they didn’t, that must mean people only liked the halla because it tied into their fandom that they already loved, and not because I had done a good job.

So I feel a lot of pride (but still with a lot of bewilderment) that my moon and sun post got so many notes. I’m glad that it defeated the halla. It gives me some  confidence that I feel is still rather undeserved, but it’s really nice to know that people like something that I made.

(I don’t even know what my 3rd most popular post is, but there’s one with 92 notes right now, and 92 is still really huge and surprising for me. There’s also one with 59 which is still Alot Of Notes for me.)

Mid-Century Hobbit House

adios beaches

I started writing this post my thirty second straight day in the states, the most time I had spent in the U.S. since I left in February 2016, as I sat at my gate waiting for my first flight of the day back towards Panama. And of course I had plenty of time before boarding thanks to my extremely punctual mother. But I was actually glad I was so early, I had time to get my last Dunkin’ run in before heading back to Panama for another year, time to charge up my phone before binge-watching criminal minds I had downloaded on my Netflix app, time to start processing that I was headed back to the country I have called home the past 2+ years. I had an amazing time in the states, and to be honest, I wasn’t quite ready to leave. 

When I first started thinking about extending my service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Panama, it was mostly based on me enjoying my life here, not feeling like I had anything pulling me urgently back to the states. It was fun, I had friends, I was learning, why would I want to leave? But what I didn’t think about was everything that was going to change between my first two years and my third, where I’m at now. I didn’t realize how different my job would be, how different my life would be. 

So when I wasn’t quite ready to leave the states after spending a month there, it scared me. It scared me because I wasn’t going back to the Panama I had known the last two years, I was going to a new city with neighbors I didn’t know and without a community I had become a part of. I was going back to familiar place, but not a place that I had ever called home. I was scared to leave again because after a month in the states, I thought I would be sick of being there, sick of the speedy lifestyle, sick of the amenities I had grown comfortable living without. But I wasn’t. I wasn’t sick of anything. Yeah, I was shocked when my brother ordered Starbucks online to have it ready for us right when our Uber pulled up outside, but I didn’t hate that at all. It freaked me out a little sure, why can we go through life ordering $5 coffees from our phones and have drivers waiting for us outside when so many people don’t even have garbage pickup or running water? It was crazy to me, but I wasn’t complaining. 

Being in Panama, there hasn’t been much from the states that I have missed besides my friends and family, and definitely the cold weather. But I didn’t ever feel like I missed the timeliness of life in the states, because in Panama I had some of my best conversations waiting for public transportation in the rain to leave my community or waiting for meetings to start. I didn’t ever feel like I missed  the convenience of certain things in the states, like having cell phone coverage everywhere you go because all the people you need to work with don’t live on the same street as you. I knew it was going to be nice to go back, but I didn’t realize how nice it would be to reconnect with people, to be reminded of where I come from and the life I left behind when I decided to join Peace Corps over three years ago. Of course I missed a lot about Panama, I missed pastelitos fresh off the pan and hot cups of coffee during a rainy afternoon with my host mom. But after 32 days in the states, I felt torn between wanting to stay there, where I was still comfortable and spending time with people I love, and going back to a different culture that a couple years ago, I knew absolutely nothing about.

The time since arriving back in Panama has flown by, and has been a blur to say the least. I have been to parts of the country I had never been to before, I have met new volunteers who have been here just as long as me, and I have helped train volunteers newly into their services. I have visited new Peace Corps communities, I have visited old Peace Corps communities. I’ve explained to Panamanians what Peace Corps is, and I’ve connected with Panamanians who knew about Peace Corps since before I was born. I’ve learned my small little place in the corner of this wild ride of Peace Corps, and seen just a snapshot of how big our impact really is. 

I finish this post on nearly my 975th day since first arriving in Panama in February 2016, my 83rd day since arriving back from my months vacation in the states in July. I finish this post realizing how much I have learned here in Panama. And although I don’t notice how much has changed each day, looking back at all of these days I have crossed off my calendar, I realize how much has happened, and how much has actually changed. 

People who used to be strangers are now my family, a language I used to not know have now become my first words each morning, rice is now a staple to my diet. Before arriving in Panama, I couldn’t have imagined how comfortable I would eventually feel in a foreign country speaking a different language every day. But after 975 days, I have learned that Panama will now also always be my home. Of course when I am in Panama, I miss parts of life in the U.S. But when I was back in the states just visiting, there was so much I missed about Panama. I have realized that I will never be completely at home again, because part of me will always be elsewhere. But that is the price of loving and knowing people in more than one place, and it’s totally worth it.
