Rabbit, rabbit.

Slightly warmer today, with sun, and I had thoughts about going out and shovelling more snow off the bins, but instead sat on the couch with hot beanbag wraps and finished Flora's Fury. I'm a little sad that she didn't finish the series but on balance, maybe not. Flora is really hard to take for long. Impetuous characters who never stop to think are so not my bag.

I distinctly remember buying lean hamburger once and registering it as a mistake because it was too dry to make good fried rice with. Something must have changed in the rubrics because I used lean to make beef stroganoff on Friday and it was so fat I had to soak it up with paper towels. Couldn't drain it because I added it to the vegetables I'd sauteed first-- mushrooms, onions, broccoli and cabbage. If I eat meat, it's going to be well padded with veg. Maybe if I'd served it with rice or noodles but I'm still trying to keep the starches low.

To which end it seems I lost 5.7 pounds in January (that's 2.5 kilos more or less), so my modifications are working. Yes, no alcohol works wonders. No, I still hate it.

Anime Check-in: Uta no Prince-sama S3E5-7


Episode 5:
Otoya running in yelling 「大変!大変だよ!」 made me think I was watching Osomatsu-san for a minute there lol

Otoya and Natsuki did the cross-unit battle, Haruka, Natsuki and Shou help Ai on a film set and now Ren, Shou and Cecil have to do a phone commercial together but they're learning too far on their own ideas and not trying to come up something cohesive.

Natsuki comforting Shou and making him blush. <33

Masato's advice to Ren was 'meditate under this waterfall'. XDD Honestly I'd probably enjoy that as a distraction.

Poor Cecil didn't have a boyfriend for good advice so he made up his own out of what Camus said;;

Even Otoya got comforted by Tokiya in his own way.

Everyone picking on Reiji. 😭

I love the song they came up with,

Episode 6: Haruka: "I don't think Camus is cold-hearted"

Camus: called her a fool and told her to write the song by herself before even talking to him, made her his servant

This episode was endlessly irritating, the only two things I liked were the song and the boys trying to be there for Haruka despite being so mad, they respected her choice.

Episode 7: Ranmaru's old rock band wants to get together one last time but Ranmaru says no because the band breaking up hurt him and he's trying to move on and focus on Quartet Nights as an idol.

Haruka shows him that you don't have to lose your influence/where you came from.

I love jrock, it was my intro to JP music. I was disappointed it didn't show Ranmaru's around him at all during the performance. I need to hear to a clean/full version of the song.

Haruka getting so flustered at Ranmaru ruffling her hair was so cute. Show those kinds of expressions more! Sure in some things I don't want the heroine to blush at every single thing but I like Haruka and Haruka with the boys and would be happy to see her not be as expressionless. I guess it makes the times she softens up more precious though.

Starfall Stories 51

I continue to make slow progress with recovering, which is very dull, but still generally in the right direction, however hard it is to be patient. I haven't been able to keep up much at all here, only in bits and pieces.

However, I realised I was behind with crossposting [community profile] rainbowfic pieces, and I can do that:

Name: Turn To Dust
Story: Starfall
Colors: Warm Heart #25 (Spite); Azul #9 (Willpower); Colour of the Day - 30/10/2025 (Wheedle)
Supplies and Styles: Charcoal + Chiaroscuro + Graffiti (for October Challenge incl. bonus prompt "Psychological Horror") + Novelty Beads ("But I am alive. And I am not afraid." from [personal profile] bookblather for Birthday Prompts 2021).
Word Count: 3808
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Mental manipulation, threat, injury, death.
Notes: Portcallan, 1313. Leion Valerno, Donn Chiulder, Tana Veldiner. (This isn't Psychological Horror as a genre per se, but I thought taken as a prompt, it fitted too perfectly not to use for this).
Summary: Leion faces his worst nightmare.

An ancient desire fulfilled!

I am learning to knit! I am very proud of my casting on, and am working on the tension while actually knitting. Today, I did multiple rows for the first time; I got up to row four before I tangled something too badly to continue and started over.

I am currently using a giant pair of kids' plastic needles that C. had from a kit she did last year, and some neon purple acrylic yarn. I also have a nice pair of circular needles that [personal profile] drinkingcocoa helped me to pick out at our local yarn store; I started with those, but am now seeing how a longer row works.

I have no idea how long it will take for me to knit something that I'd actually wear, but the point for me is the process. It requires some concentration plus being in the moment, and will be a good thing to do while waiting for things or, potentially, getting back into listening to audioplays and the like. Plus, it's more mobile than doing a puzzle.

My many friends who knit are so excited..

This Year 365 songs: February 1st

 We start the month of February with Alpha Gelida


This is another song in the alpha couple series, though as Darnielle indicates in the annotations, that wouldn't be clear without the title.

I don't have a lot to say about this track or the annotation, so this is a short post Sunday.
