The aforementioned Thai lakorn / period drama with classic hierarchical images has in episode 25 the servants taking over the house. Still questioning if this can be called a development or not.

@crqmblt What's it called again and does it have English subs? I'm curious :)

the dw comm is proving that it's easier to get people to talk at me than with me. i know i'm boring as fuck but i'm tired of being the one to adapt to others' needs.

the contrast between the fandom part of my feed and what's captured my attention is striking

two episodes to go and Last Twilight is still utterly perfect. the growth of a relationship built on what comes to be the deepest trust and kindness.

Now that the last chicken has reached its new home, I can share this, which is all the chickens I've made. When I started my first chicken 3 months ago, I didn't realise I was going to make 6 in a very short time. Thank you all for humouring my obsession these past few months. I'm going to take a break now, but maybe I'll make another one if there's someone who really needs one.

i have a song in English and a song in Thai going round in my head except my brain is making up somewhat Thai-sounding nonsense for all of the English one and maybe 80% of the Thai one. took a wee while to work out where this new "OST" was from 🙃

i think i need to have more conversations with English and Scots speakers.
ditching most podcasts means i hear maybe 20 minutes of English a day that isn't just me talking to myself.

@wolfsbruder
Basic social contact.
This observation was on the back of my brain replacing English lyrics (the only language I'm fully fluent in) in a song with sounds similar to the language I watch most of my telly in.

my favourite character (shh don't tell him) in the story i used to write to cheer myself up is taking this whole resilience v optimisation thing Very Seriously and is determined to find an even more resilient way to paint something than squirt gunning paint onto the ceiling so it drips onto the cardboard on the floor.
they have a very resilient household.

i've worked out the names of all but two of the people here, including the semi-random dozen who weren't in the lakorn, even though the names are in modern thai script and all lookupable info to confirm is in standard script
was an interesting way to learn which letters i most often confuse like the round S one that's an r in the middle of a word and an n at the end except not always in names and the round S with a tail that's a th or a t.

writing hasn't been working for a few months now (well more properly playing) but the characters still hang out in my mind and every time i see a post about optimisation being detrimental to resilience, one of them smiles knowingly.

Pandora says it is the 30th anniversary of "Teenager of the Year," and I suddenly have a hankering to learn the bass line of "Speedy Marie." It isn't overly complicated, and I haven't played bass since junior high, but 😊

@JillsJoy don't worry, after this it all muddles together. 30 years ago? 40 years ago? same difference :)

Japanese Film Festival Online 2024 will be 5th-19th June (starts & ends noon JST so effectively the 18th for UK)
Last year's was really good so I'm maybe just a wee bit excited. It's a great opportunity to see Japanese films which can be hard to find.
I know all of you have lives and are busy but I can post about those I watch to help you pick one or two Please let me know if you are interested as it's better for me to save my energy than shout into the void.

Interesting lines about lovers in Murakami's book "after the quake" (2000) 🧐

What do you think?

emmaaum,
@emmaaum@zirk.us avatar

@OperaLab My music collection strongly disagrees with this assessment.
Is the character narrow minded herself, so she thinks this way?

@sheepchase i got so excited about there being horror in the JFF+ for you that i didn't notice they're all shorts. None of them nor the directors are in the MDL database. One is the winner of the inaugural Japan Horror Film Competition. I'm betting the rest are runners-up.
Anyway, I can manage short ones. Even if they are Japanese and Japanese horror is too good :)
Maybe one a day? You pick.

I made an MDL list to help me prioritise. Some of the films have reviews etc. https://mydramalist.com/list/47av2YNL

online subscription to Channel 3 in Thailand is about $28 per year (USD i presume). that's really tempting even if i can't read the website. some of it HAS to have subs right?
note to self: next language in an alphabet i already know please.
