I need a #kdrama or #cdrama recommendation where the romance has a happy ending, please? I cannot afford to have my heart shredded by fiction currently.

And my brain doesn’t seem to be able to deal with words currently so I’m not reading.

I watched The Quiet Girl yesterday, and I absolutely loved it.
one of those films where no big plot pushing events actually happen, and yet you can't even blink because you'd miss something important.

I've just heard for the first time how Americans pronounce Lee Radziwiłł.
wow, languages!
just like English speakers would struggle to pronounce it how it's supposed to sound, I wouldn't be able to repeat their version because I already forgot it 😳

Book 12, 2024: Novelist as Vocation - Haruki Murakami. I used to read Murakami a lot but sort of lost interest along the way. I picked up this in a bookshop’s closing-down sale, and quite liked it. It collects essays about being a writer, some earlier ones of which were printed in a Japanese magazine. The more recently written articles resonated with me more (fewer exclamation marks, for one thing), especially the essay about being physically in shape as a writer, and one about how he targeted success in the US. #Murakami #books #reading @bookstodon

I'm going to a concert today, but I don't remember what they're going to play. I decided to roll with it and have a fresh experience. I just hope it won't be any Mozart symphony or piano concerto.

Book 11, 2024: On Trampolining by Rebecca Perry. A sports memoir with a difference. Poet Perry writes about falling in love with trampolining as a girl, the pain and delight the sport brings her, and how her time as a young athlete resonates with her as a grown-up. #sport #books #essay #nonfiction @bookstodon

Book 10, 2024: The Crystal Frontier - Carlos Fuentes. Short story collection about Mexicans working illegally or otherwise in the US. The story Las Amigas, about a terribly irascible old woman and her implacable helper, is a standout. @bookstodon #books #fiction #reading

air fryer people are so annoying.
is it because I don't have an air fryer? maybe.
they went from 'you can't cook without thermomix' to 'you can't cook without an air fryer'.
'they' being food bloggers.
