Since I've been sick, running a high fever, and the body ache and such were making me unable to sleep I have been mainlining a B5 rewatch. Been a long time for me (a good decade) and I forgot some of the nuances of the storylines. Wow. It's like watching freaking Andor. ( Read more... )
I suppose that's about it. Next I need to tackle our tax questionnaire from the CPA and get all our papers together. Not a job I enjoy but the faster it is done the sooner we get money back. And money back we will have as we had the worst year ever for our company. I THINK I had enough pulled out of my practically non-existent paycheck to cover both of us for state taxes but only the CPA will know for sure. Crossing fingers.
Hope everyone out east has power and is safe!

dw_community_promobirdfeeding is a community started on January 1, 2023. It's all about birdfeeding, birdwatching, and other topics relating to birds. It also touches on nature in general, and observations that may effect bird activity such as local weather. Both text and image posts are welcome. Now is a great time to join as hungry birds are easy to attract with a feeder.Community resources include posts about birding events, nurseries that sell seeds or plants attractive to birds, bird identification apps, the benefits of birdwatching, and other useful materials. Check out the anchor posts from Three Weeks for Dreamwidth.

10 Wildly Inappropriate Come-On Cakes
Feb. 23rd, 2026 02:00 pmcakewrecks_feedNOTE: No, really, these are wildly inappropriate. Not safe for kids! (Work should be fine, though.)
And now...
10 Wildly Inappropriate Pick-Up Lines
for International Flirting Week
Looking for love this month? Then why not try baiting your love hook (ew) with cake?
Punny and to the point. Best of all: No horsing around!
Admittedly, this will only work for half of you.
If you don't have access to cake, you could always write up one of those cute "love coupons."
So many jokes, so many relatives reading this blog.
(Hi, Mom!)
Just remember to keep it clean.
Awwww YEAH. Good times, indeed.
Maybe you don't want your cake to do all the talking, though. Maybe you just want it to be more of a conversation starter. You know, like this:
"You down with it?" [eyebrow waggle]
"Who likes oysters?!"
"Welcome... TO THE GUN SHOW."
Or if you really want to impress, try a quick serenade:
[singing]
"Oh let me be... YOUR TEDDY BEAR."
Mrowr.
And as a last resort, remember: sometimes bribery can work wonders.
"FREE MUSTACHE RI.. [noticing children in the room]... er ... slices!"
"And hey, just so you know: I come with free balloons."
o.0
Clean-up on aisle MY MIND, please. [shudder]
Thanks to Allison H., Cortney K., Michelle M., JM, Lauren E., Johnny D., Rosebud, Lara K., Lauren G., & Cat for the pick-me-ups.

Call the Midwife S15E01 got the history irritatingly wrong (spoiler under cut)
Feb. 23rd, 2026 07:56 ambrightknightieI watch Masterpiece on PBS Passport streaming these days, not over the airwaves, but I still watch on Sunday nights, wrapping up the weekend as I have since at least Downton Abbey. Last night, I watched the finale of season 6 of All Creatures Great and Small (set at the first Christmas after WWII), which was a solid and satisfying, if busy, episode, and also the premiere of season 15 of Call the Midwife (set in 1971), which was also busy, but neither solid nor satisfying.
(On broadcast, Call the Midwife won't premiere until March 22 in North America. Come, support PBS and watch a month early!)
I love historical fiction, but I do need it to get the history mostly right. We all make mistakes sometimes! It's so easy to fall for an urban legend historical fallacy! But. This show has an entire staff, any of whom could have used even just Wikipedia at any point to spot-check this particular item and learn that it's not only false, but a deliberate slander/sarcasm against what the episode was trying ineptly to celebrate and ended up trivializing. Not every historical fiction show can be The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles for citations, but I remember when Doctor Quinn: Medicine Woman would sometimes end on a screen with a simple text paragraph about the real history of whatever the episode was depicting. Movies depicting real historical people do that regularly. And some novels. Maybe all historical fiction should try that, just to prompt someone to double-check.
Call the Midwife was so exceedingly excellent in its earliest days, when it was still directly based on the memoirs of the real Jennifer Worth. The farther it gets from that -- now in season 15! -- the more often it trips. ( Spoilers for what this episode messed up )
