[doorbell] Kian: Uh-.. sorry, I think I have the wrong address. Brynn: No, is right house. Kian: Oh, do I know you..? Brynn: Wait here. [Brynn shut the door after herself, leaving a bewildered Kian to stand outside] Kian: O-.. kay? Brynn: There is an unpleasant surprise for you on the doorstep. Wyatt: That creature-.. I’ll get the dustpan. Brynn: Mouses do not ring doorbells. … Kian: Can I come in? It’s freezing… Wyatt: It’s practically summer. Ellis: Babababaaa! Kian: Is that yours? [Wyatt scoffed, retrieving Ellis from the immaculate floor] Wyatt: What the hell possessed you-.. are you insane?! When did you get out? Kian: Relax! I got out on probation a few years back but it was only for a year, I’ve been a free man for a while now… I even hired a few private investigators-.. it’s all water under the bridge, no one’s watching me. [Wyatt somehow managed to scowl whilst dubiously raising a brow, surprised by his brother’s forethought] Kian: Sadie thought it best to check beforehand, you know how thorough she is. [Wyatt almost wanted to laugh, of course it wasn’t Kian’s idea] Kian: So, who’s this? Wyatt: Ellis. Kian: I didn’t expect you to have a child-.. and another on the way? Wyatt: People change. [Kian hummed condescendingly, as though he wasn’t convinced] Kian: And who’s the delightful woman that answered the door? Wyatt: You don’t recognise her? [Kian’s mouth upturned in a nonchalant shrug, not realising he was supposed to] Wyatt: She used to be a model-.. I presumed you might have seen her on TV or something. Kian: A model! Well, I suppose at least one of us landed on their fee-.. is that a cat?

I'm very into bowling lately. There's something philosophical about it as a practice. You do best when you mind your own lane eg: stay in your lane eg: worry about what you're doing and not the people around you. This is a difficult thing to do given the proximity of other players. It's so easy to compare, to look at the way another person plays and scoff at how much better they are than you. Or, you can look at them with intention: note the way they hold the ball or how they are able to hurl it with both intention and speed, and then try to mirror that in your own throw. It also involves getting out of your head. To say to yourself Okay, that throw sucked: that's alright. This one will be better.

I get better by being mindful about my breathing, considering where I place my feet, and doing positive affirmations. "you go this girl. c'mone girl!" I threw softer to begin with and instead now lob the bowl with intensity and an almost kind of anger. It feels good. A direct release.

I improve, I get better, and I can see it right there. Both in life and in this game.

This is a very niche artist, but she's quite good at her craft. Updated website link.

These little socks were made by Althea Crome, the person who knitted the clothes for the movie Coraline. These socks have 70 stitches per inch and represent her  childhood in Chicago and the scenic trip out of Chicago to Bloomington.

Okay no I need to talk about the book version of Howl's Moving Castle. I love the movie but the book has such a different vibe and you, yes you, should read it.

Movie Howl is a soulful and quiet. Book Howl is a drama queen and Causing Problems and has a long string of jilted exes and couldn't shut up if you paid him.

Sophie and Howl drive each other up the wall at the beginning and it's really funny. Sophie and Howl are (despite themselves) very much in love by the end and they still drive each other up the wall and it's even funnier.

In the movie, Howl has been ordered by the king to participate in The War, and Howl is avoiding it because he is a brave conscientious objector. In the book, Howl has been ordered by the king to rescue his lost brother from the Witch of the Wastes, and Howl is avoiding it by any means necessary because he is a cowardly weasel who wants to stay as far from the Witch as possible.

In the movie, the Witch cursed Sophie because she was jealous about Howl speaking to Sophie for five minutes. In the book, the Witch cursed Sophie because Sophie had been doing surprisingly powerful magic for years without knowing it and it was actually starting to cut into the Witch's plans. (Sophie does not discover any of this until nearly the end of the book, but the reader can start to pick it up much earlier and the way Sophie's magic works is pretty darn cool.)

In the movie, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens, but this is implied to be nothing but nasty fearmongering. In the book, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens because Howl started the rumor so people would stop asking him to do wizard junk all the time.

The book lightly parodies a couple of tropes from Western fairy tales. In particular Sophie has internalized that, as the eldest of three sisters, her "destiny" is to fail so that her younger sisters will look cooler when they succeed, which is why she's so resigned to the hat shop at the beginning. (Sidebar: Sophie's sisters come up much more in the book and they're great.) There's also a really funny bit where Sophie attempts to operate a pair of seven-league boots.

In the movie, the fourth and final location that the magic door connects to is some sort of black void / mindscape / time portal dealy. In the book the fourth location is Wales, in the UK, on Earth, so that Howl can visit his family, because from Howl's perspective this is an isekai story.
