Journal of the Plague...Week?
I am alive, huddled in the bunker formerly known as my house with plenty of toilet paper and canned goods. My department started optional work from home for everyone on Friday, and most are taking the option, including me. Outside of work, I'm spending a lot of time reading covid-19 news articles, because despite the horror, it is rather ( Read more... ) -
Skating update
My reintroduction to skating continues apace. I moved my left blade inward, and it helped so much I've just done my right blade and hope it works out too. I'm actually using the screwdriver and moving them this time around instead of BF. I've been through so many attempts at new/correct skates, with attendant blade placement tinkering, that I ( Read more... ) -
SKATES THAT FIT!
My second attempt at custom boots, this time with Avanta, arrived, and they fit. They fit so, so incredibly well. I skated for more than an hour this morning with ZERO pain or numbness. I mean, nothing. It was like wearing stiff sneakers. The first time! Without breaking them in! Hell, with my old Jacksons it took two years to be able to ( Read more... ) -

Fannish and other
I watched The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina over the last couple of weekends. ( Some spoilery thoughts ) -
The Crown
I'm a season into The Crown and am enjoying it a lot. However, I have a bone to pick. ( PHILIP, ugh. ) -
Something kind of fannish
YouTube cooking shows is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think about how to spend my time, and yet over the last week or so I've been devouring much of the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen back catalogue. Not even because I want to make the food--although some of it does look good, and actually somewhat manageable for a normal home cook--but ( Read more... ) -
Hark, an entry!
*blows dust off DW*
I received my new skates a couple of weeks ago. They are hideous, but they fit, unlike the SP-Teris. (Photo. Really not loving the silver plastic sole, although they look better with blades on. I was wary of plastic's abilities vis a vis leather as a shock absorber, but on the tiny jumps I've tried so far I haven't noticed ( Read more... )
