hi! List five things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers <3

1. I've just set up my queue for a few days, as next week HubbyTMC will be going to New York. He's singing with choirs in a concert at Carneige Hall, and I'm over the moon about it. 2. I'm doing laundry in my new laundry machine...WHICH BALANCES ITSELF!! 3. I'm getting healthier than I have been in a long time because of a biologic(al warfare drug against my immune system). 4. I have good books to read as soon as I finish planning my curriculum for next year. 5. As I peruse my general news & education podcasts, I keep finding more inspiration for said curriculum. Thank you, @potential-fate for the message! I hope you have a blessed day!

Me, too!

Monster of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: “Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.”

Monster of Frankenstein in pop culture: (unintelligible moaning)

Факультеты Ильверморни собрались идти в поход

(внезапненько и стереотипненько, я знаю)))

Птица-Гром 

- Главный организатор и идейный вдохновитель мероприятия

- "Мы не заблудились, я помню это дерево"

- Умеет ставить палатку, потому что ходил в походы тысячу раз

- Ну вообще-то не тысячу, немного поменьше

- К концу вечера напьётся и будет громче всех горланить неприличные песни под гитару

Вампус

- Подбивает всех поиграть в волейбол или устроить спортивное ориентирование

- На крайняк у него есть карты

- Первый в очереди за колбасками

- После третьей неудачной попытки Птицы-Грома поставить палатку берёт дело в свои руки

- Не пьёт, потому что за ЗОЖ

Пакваджи

- Единственный, кто взял с собой аптечку и средство от комаров

- Главный по костру и полевой кухне

- Следит, чтобы все не наклюкались

- У него самый тёплый спальный мешок

- И заныкана банка сгущёнки на утро

Рогатый змей

- Знает всё о местной флоре и фауне

- Взял с собой карту, компас и книгу "Турпоходы для чайников"

- Переживает из-за того, что в лесу не ловит интернет, потому что "мало ли что"

- Знает слова песни "Изгиб гитары жёлтой" 

- Выпив, пускается в длинные философские размышления о смысле жизни и ближе к ночи впадает в экзистенциальный кризис

Vintage Ilvermorny Aesthetics

Thunderbird: old overused maps held down with steaming cups of green tea. muddy boots in the doorway and shelves full of notebooks filled with pressed flowers and observational scribbles. vintage cameras, little jars filled with everything except for what their intended for, pine cones, and thunderclouds. a yearning for a life brimming with adventure.

Pukwudgie: chunky knitted socks and wicker baskets full of string. tables overrun by neatly wrapped gifts they bought for someone simply because it made them think of that person. a porcelain teapot whistling indicating that the water for the chamomile tea is done. vases full of wildflowers and pots overflowing with mushrooms. crystal necklaces, and well preserved, vintage, healers books. an ardent desire for a life filled with meaning.

Horned Serpent: stacks of books in every nook and cranny of the house. a bubbling cauldron, inside a new potion they’ve been working on. letters to old friends. letters to new friends. a jar full of ink with a feathered quill set beside it. ancient vases filled with maps, dried branches hanging from the ceiling, and a lantern by the door. a burning passion for knowledge.

Wampus: freshly baked bread and a mortar and pestle filled with herbs. notebooks wrapped in leather and a necklace adorned with a single wampus tooth. candles at the end of their wicks, piping hot cups of black coffee, potions lined on every shelf, an engraved sword with ribbon tied around its handle, and old bottles of vintage cherry wine. a craving for experiences that are not of this world.

Get to know me tag

Tagged by @charmandersims, for whom I’m very grateful!!

Favourite Colour? Blue-teal...that sea greeny blue lovely brightness that those without words can’t decide if it’s blue or green.

Currently Reading? (I’m so glad reading more than one book is fine!) I’m re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix whilst I babysit my nieces during their big sister’s HS football game (niece the eldest is in the band, and her parents are footballaholics). I’m also reading four books on my kindle and have two more by my reading chair. Of these, the one I’m most anxious to get to is The Rightful Queen.

Last Song You Listened To?  Bits of the soundtrack of “The Man of La Mancha have been running through my head for about a week, thanks to my name-picking for Philippa and Dante. :)

Last Series You Watched? Hubby TMC and I are midway through Season 2 of “The Expanse”, and liking it a lot.

Sweet, spicy or savoury?  All of the above, with minimal sweetness. I like candy corn, but usually pick something savory for a snack. (My favorite food is carb+gravy or meat+carb. My sweet tooth is very small.)

Craving?  Meatloaf. Specifically, a leftover-meatloaf sandwich.

Tea or Coffee? Tea--I cannot stand the smell of coffee, and the taste is worse!!

Currently working on? Robin River, healing my feet without taking calcium, and taking care of my compadres.

I’m tagging @valiantlydecadentsuit and @roguebotanist. If you want to be tagged, let me know and I’ll add you, or you can just tag me and say I did it.

Rules: Tag 9 people you would like to know better or catch up with

tagged by @charmandersims, thank you!!

Being tagged does, indeed, make me feel loved!

Last song:  “Feel Good Inc.” as covered by Postmodern Jukebox on the Fake Blues album

Last movie: “Bad Boys For Life”. Yes, I haven’t seen a movie in almost a year. Sigh.

Currently watching: I’m between seasons of “Halt and Catch Fire”. Getting to the tv room has been hard recently, and we got some really good books for Christmas...

Currently reading: “Political Cocaine: How America Got Addicted to the Two-Party System, and How to Intervene” by Art Rude;  “Lost City of the Monkey God” by Douglas Preston; and “Made This Way: How to Prepare Kids to Face Today’s Tough Moral Issues” by Leila Miller and Trent Horn

Currently craving: A hot chocolate with cream and petit chocolate (a chocolate, cream, and red wine liquor I got for Christmas). Super declicious, but not something I can drink before dinner. Alcohol doesn’t help my foot pain.

tagging: @grimbunnies, @hislittleflower-throughconcrete, @shastakiss, @valiantlydecadentsuit, @mikexx2, @that-catholic-shinobi, @cindysimblr, @mystic-hysteria, @katatty ... though no pressure whatsoever ... and if I didn’t tag you, please feel free to say I did!

SO! MANY! BOOKS!!!

How many stand-alone works do you own written by a single author?

take "stand-alone work" to mean books not related as a series, the series can count as one work (ie me owning all of NK Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy and The City We Became would count as two stand-alone works, even though it's 4 books). Owning multiple copies also only counts as 1 stand-alone work, sorry edition-hoarders

I love T.S. Eliot.

Take the time to read it slowly. Savor the words. Let them remind you of Mass. Let them remind you of the Sacred. That you are imperfect. That you will die.

And you don't know when.
