Sometimes, life takes you into unexpected places, and suddenly you're cheering for the Chicago Cubs in their must-win game against the Padres, meanwhile your sister is crying out in protest, "Haven't we switched to hockey now?!."

So yesterday's unexpected package contained one more special surprise: a beautiful copy of my tgcf hanahaki duology, handbound 'dos-a-dos' style, which means two seperate books have been bound back-to-back to create one single volume with two distinct halves

Satchel the fluffy white balinese cat rests on top of a fanbound copy of Spodumene's two TGCF hanahaki fics, bound 'dos-a-dos' style, meaning they've been bound seperately, then joined back to back into a single volume book

Today I received an unexpected package containing a most remarkable gift: a handbound tome chock full of so many personalized details, I'm not even sure where to start

A hand bound copy of Tempo Rubato, Spod's MDZS Persuasion AU fanfic, which she wrote after a 10 year hiatus, and is still the longest thing she's ever written

Today's corporate drones are so painfully incompetent. Making appointments, moving those appointments, missing those appointments, rescheduling those appointments, then phoning at a completely random time, because people don't have lives to live, amirite? Like fuck off, I just want to watch baseball

Trying to explain this haughty, queerer-than-thou melodrama to my friend so that she understands why the public career failure of its chief participant is so funny, but it's so stupid it sounds fake, and I'm just like, "Listen, when I say she ran over herself with her own clown car, just trust me."

90% of my feed is just Taemin right now, which is a heavenly blessing of the holiest variety, but then BAM, stabbed through the heart by that photo of Jjong fixing Taem's hair, thank you, I'll just be over here weeping, he's watching, he must be so proud of him

Tomorrow is the last day for bidding, so if you've ever wished I would write a fic especially for you, get those offers in and let me create for you!

It's that time again, folks! My auction is here: fth2026offerings.dreamwidth.org/75832.html It's basically the same as last year, which means I'm promising 10-20k, but just like last year, the more generous your offer, the more likely I'll cough up twice that in a fit of gratitude. Just sayin'

I would like a word or several with whoever was responsible for scheduling the women's gold medal hockey game and the women's free skate, I just need to knock your heads together so that they break

So everything about today was terrible, save for the part where my dad, having refused to buy new dress shoes for his mother's funeral, was forced to wrap his ancient boots up with miles of electrical tape after they both blew open at the sole. He was, of course, the best dressed person there

Folding dumplings, dreading tomorrow... why must all the wrong people in my family keep dying... okay not 'wrong' per se, she was in her 90's, but taking her grandson was just fucking mean...

I fucking hate the word 'wasian' and if you use it around me, yes, I will judge you, even if you are using it on yourself, and I don't care how old and curmudgeonly that makes me, get the fuck off my lawn, etc.

So where would you rank 'Having your Grandmother's funeral' on a list of unlucky things to do on the first day of the lunar new year? Is it above or below getting a hair cut?

Pickleball Aunties and Uncles were relentless today. "Can I see your tattoo? Peonies!!--Chinese? Chinese! Where's your dad from? How do you spell your last name? That's so uncommon, do you know [same last name dude]? No? Good, we don't like him, he's an asshole! If you meet him, stay away! Ok? Ok!"

Okay, so. I know I cannot be the only one with a king-sized rant about Heated Rivalry ep 5. I am late watching, for sure, please tell me some hockey podcast has already had an anyeurism about everything ep 5 happy fucking new year
