Feb. 9th, 2026 08:58 pmdustbunny105My officemate has been picking up some more of the blind-packed Transformers model kits and she gave me another of her duplicates. It was a cute little chibi Shockwave this time. The instruction card wasn't as good as what came with the bigger Wheeljack model but it was easy enough. Got him put together on my break and he's hanging out on my desk now. I've got him set just behind Wheeljack, the gag being that he's not really small, just very far away.
Idk, I appreciate that she gives me her cast-aways but this is kinda making me want to spend money, lol.

Feb. 9th, 2026 09:35 pmshadowkatGood news?
Super texts me around 11 am: you're shower is working now. (Sends video demonstrating both cold and hot water are coming out of it.)
ME: Yippee! Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I got to take a shower when I got home. Kaloo Kalay...I did a little happy dance at my desk when I discovered it.
It's the little things. Like the ability to take a hot shower and wash my hair. And relax tense muscles. Slept horribly last night worrying over it.
I kept wondering if I should try to put a pillow over the window in the bathroom - to make the room warmer.
Bad news? The apartment is a touch warmer than I'd like? I was enjoying wearing sweat shirts and fuzzy socks. Also warm pjs, and curling under the covers. Although not scrambling to get dressed in the morning, while it was cold or covering up every crack in the windows with cloth. It was beginning to look like a derelict's bedroom. Now, the window fan is back in the window, the air purifier is on, and I've installed the humidifier in the bedroom instead of the living room.
But other than that...
Also it's gotten warmer? Instead of -4 degrees, we have 24 degrees. It's rather balmy. Once it hits 38 degrees F, folks will be wearing shorts.
And per Breaking Bad, it snowed in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Me: Did it? (a bit more gleeful than I should be)
BB: It might have been in the mountains, I'm not certain.

Feb. 9th, 2026 08:43 pmysabetwordsmithConsumers spend much more when making digital payments instead of using cash
The use of digital payments has led people to spend more than they do when using cash, according to survey evidence from more than 1,200 consumers.
The shift reframes everyday purchases as moments where restraint weakens quietly, long before shoppers notice any change in their budgets.
This is why one of the most effective ways to save money is to buy things with cash, and thus, one of the many reasons for protecting the use of cash.

"Books That Bite Back"
Some books are easy reading,
while others really are not.
There are the vindaloo cookbooks
and the guides to growing hot peppers.
There are the essays about ethics
and the history books written by losers.
There are the comparative religion texts
and the papers on quantum mechanics.
Just like food that commands respect,
there are books that bite back.

Feb. 8th, 2026 08:59 pmdustbunny105I did indeed go to the mini culture festival with my sister and her two littlest. It was fun! We got to hammer mochi :D By which I mean that I got to hammer mochi, since my nephew was too shy and my sister didn't want to hand me the baby just for that. The concert portion started a little late but the wait was worth it, imo. Still no snow or rain but it was a bit chilly for the littles, so we didn't stay for the whole performance and headed inside the museum where the other part of the event was being held.
There were only a few tables. One had a lady doing calligraphy; my sister got her name in katakana and I got neko (cat) in kanji because I panicked and it was the first thing I thought of. Nephew was again too shy to ask for anything. There was another area showing off traditional Japanese toys and my sister tried out a couple but nephew was unmoved, lol. We also got to try out a guitar-like instrument I've forgotten the name of and looked at a handful of handmade items for sale. Then we sat and had some mochi, red bean soup, sweet cake and matcha. I had hoped we'd get to see the matcha being prepared but alas. I really liked the presentation of the matcha, even if they were using cheap plastic dishes, but it tasted like grass to me as usual. Everything else was really tasty, though.
We didn't stay long-- it was a short event-- but we left feeling like it was worth the trip.

shadowkat1. Another bitterly cold day, actually worse than yesterday. Woke up to no hot water in the shower - per the Super, the pipe had froze. Apparently the folks in the apartments on the 6th and 4th floors barely use the hot water (they must be very stinky?) and the 5th is now vacant.
Me: What happened to the new tenant in the 5th Floor apartment, did they leave already.
Super: They passed away.
So they took heaters up to the 5th floor and 6th and got the hot water working. Apparently the 4th is fine. (I'm annoyed I was dripping the hot water - and had even taken a hot shower at 11 pm). Their solution is to put another radiator in the bathroom (I already have one in there) and close the door - apparently this worked on the 5th and 6th floor. And open the hot water valve.
They also decided to turn on the radiator in my bedroom. Because 64 degrees in the bedroom, with the windows covered and the cracks patched up, is too cold. The building code is 70 degrees.
After all that work to get the radiator turned off in the bedroom - it's back on again, because the temperatures decided to go below 0 this weekend.
So, how's your Sunday going so far?
Some church services were cancelled. Mine wasn't - I'm watching it on Youtube on time delay (I kept pausing it to deal with the Super). And no it wasn't done virtually - they are actually there having service and live-streaming it. People came from Chinatown - for the first time. Now, that's dedication.
2. Speaking of dedication? Found this via brithistorian yesterday....
"The rule: In order to prevent ski jumpers from going full flying squirrel with their suits, they undergo a 3D body scan, which determines the dimensions (and hence the surface area) of their suit.
The allegation: It has been alleged that some ski jumpers are having their penises injected with hyaluronic acid to make them bigger and thus net them extra cloth in the crotch of their suits. It's not a lot, but given the tight margins of victory in some Olympic competitions, it could make a difference.
The ruling: WADA (the World Anti-Doping Agency) has said they have no definitive evidence that this has ever been done, and in fact they aren't even sure that this would fall under the definition of doping, but they do say they'll be looking into it."
Now, assuming folks are actually doing this? That's dedication. It didn't say what the women ski jumpers do - but yes my mind went there.
[Personally? You couldn't pay me enough to do ski jumping. I don't ski. Tried that, won't do it again. It's a real good way to permanently injure yourself for no good reason - which is why my father refused to ski - he considered it an expensive, cold, dangerous sport with no point.]

3. Watching Angel S4 and Buffy S7 back to back or together kind of hammers home how impossible it is for Angel to be redeemed. ( Read more... )
Now, I'm kind of watching Katee Sackoff and her husband watching herself play Starbuck in BSG, they've never seen it. (This is a thing, now? Actors watching themselves in iconic/popular 25 year old television series in podcasts. And you get to watch the actor freaking out over the show, and their own acting, and realizing, wow, this was a great show.) Sackoff is kind of similar to Juliet Landau, because both know filmmaking, and they are doing it with another person.
This is just making me want to rewatch Battle Star Galatica and I have enough shows in my to watch queues without adding re-watches. Stopped.

Done This Week
Feb. 8th, 2026 09:53 amscrubjayspeaksAmazingly, there were no situations at work from during my vacation time. Things had been relatively quiet. They were this week as well. Which is to say, I spent nearly three hours straight on the floor (figuratively and literally), trying to diagnose a hydraulic valve issue, but that’s my actual job. Sometimes, the administrative bullshit falls away and I get to remember: oh, right, I’m a mechanic. *relieved sigh*
That being said! ( Insert some dumb work bullshit that goes on for too long, which was kind of a theme... )
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written
Day job: 43 hours
Cleaning: did maintenance on the brush hog
Gardening: several rounds of weed whacking, garden club post
Reading: Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072 by Eman Abdelhadi and M.E. O'Brien (holy shit, it took a minute to warm up to the interview format, but then I got super into it and ended up being incredibly moved by the whole idea, scifi and hopepunk and journalism and inspiration)
Watching: finished all episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena (I--whut...I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy it, I’m just saying I’m probably not smart enough for whatever that was, need to go rewatch the OVA and see if that makes sense now)
Listening: FOCUS by Tatsuya Maruyama (rec from both the Game Grumps, instrumental guitar, somehow every song sounds almost like a cover because the riffs feel so *correct*, I become convinced I must have heard the song before, just lovely)
Playing: Animal Crossing, where night fishing remains my nemesis in all video games...
Aftermarket Parts: one year post-surgery!
Clock Mouse: 126 minutes of planning work and 1101 words
