silver_chipmunkSlept late, woke up and played solitaire on my phone until mashfanficchick woke up. Then ze put in an Instacart order, and I went and took a shower and got dressed. My meeting today was not canceled, but obviously I didn't go.
After the order arrived we had brunch, or lunch. A meal anyway.
And after the meal, we did some cleaning of zer apartment.
After that, we hung out a little while but at a bit after 5:00 I Ubered home.
All was well when I got here. Oreo was happy to see me.
I ordered my 2026 calendars from Calendars.com, my usual ones, the penguin, and the unicorn, and, what Oldest Brother always got for me, the teddy bear one. I miss him so much.
By the time they were ordered and paid for, it was time to Team the FWiB. We talked for a little over an hour and a half.
When we finished, I had a popsicle and some of the peppermint bark the Kid gave me on Christmas. Then I went to the bedroom and puttered on my phone til pet feeding time, when I came out and fed the pets and started here.
The snow is a few inches deep around here, nothing apocalyptic. Looks pretty.
That's about all.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.

3. Quiet day.
4. Pretty snow.
5. Peppermint bark.

petraI am going through my traditional "How many fests and challenges can I imagine in a week?"
I don't think I'm doing Psychic Wolves this year.
On the other hand, Té suggested a fest of blorbos touching the Rockstar Lestat and now I want it.
hannah points out that, if we want to know what Tom Cruise's Rockstar Lestat would have looked like, we have but to consult this video of Cruise in a jukebox musical singing "Pour Some Sugar On Me."
...it's been a really long time since I was sexually attracted to Tom Cruise, but apparentlyhannah has the secret sauce.
Also, I now want vampires:
+ the New Burbage Festival (OMG DARREN NICHOLS) (Slings & Arrows)
+ on G-ERTI (they can only fly at night) (Cabin Pressure)
+ working for Oracle (Birds of Prey and a half)
+ visiting Chicago in the era of the Mountie (experimental hair for all who will) (due South)
+ what-ho'ing Bertram Wilberforce Wooster
+ in the world of the Five Gods (hello, is this The Bastard, I have your king shit devoté on hold) (Chalion)
+ dealing with the Light and the Dark, and falling somewhere between (Dark is Rising)
+ eating hockey players
+ being in the future and baffling Aral Vorkosigan with being a) not soldiers and b) hot AT THE SAME TIME (Vorkosigan Saga)
+ and Muppets (Lestat as lone "human"?)
+ in Narnia (Aslan would shit a lit. brick)
+ becoming Black Ribboners (time for a sing-song around the harmonium! NOT LIKE THAT, LESTAT) (Discworld)
+ in Night Vale (it's Tuesday)
+ mad, in a coma, AND back in time -- the Life on Mars trifecta -- let's see Lestat trying to eat Gene Hunt
+ calling Car Talk
+ hiring Neal Caffrey to do a spot of forgery (White Collar)
+ with war horses who correspond with Copenhagen and Marengo, gaily (Warhorses of Letters)
+ fit as a fiddle and ready for love (would they love or loathe Lockwood and Lamont?) (Singin' in the Rain)
+ come on Darth Vader gold glitter looks Great on you
+ choosing the lesser of two weevils (Aubreyad)
+ ...okay i just died a little over quentin coldwater fanboying the vampire lestat (The Magicians)
+ side-eyeing and being side-eyed by Magneto (X-Men)
+ and I had a good belly laugh at Lestat meeting Felix Harrowgate: battle of the asshole first-person narrators who think they are special
+ Zaphod! Beeblebrox! would so get it on with Lestat! (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
+ How do you reckon vampires get on with thalergy? Let's Find Out (The Locked Tomb)
+ How do you reckon vampires get on with constructs? Send Lestat to Preservation! (Murderbot)
+ okay hear me out Grantaire is weak for opinionated blonds but what if he met The Wrong One (Les Misérables)
+ it's already a doctor who episode innit but let's get some harkness up in this joint
+ Awful Sykes has a crush and so does Torquil (Archer's Goon)
+ RIVERS OF LONDON which body of water can we blame everyone on
+ Last Week Tonight: Our main story concerns The "Vampire" Lestat (of course John does quote fingers)
+ Jacky Faber met our hero at some point in her meanderings. I bet they shared a stage.
+ James Flint. BWAHAHAHA. WOULD HIT THAT. (Black Sails)
+ Falsettos: writes. itself. Louis IS the gay plague.
+ did you ever want to see Lestat fuck a muppet wearing leather? I DO I DO (Farscape)
+ truly Julian Bashir needs his not-boyfriend to run interference or he's gonna get eaten (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
+ and then I hit Battlestar Galactica (reboot) which seems like a Terrible place to be a vampire but they'd have fun eating Gaius
+ Pern! is in the future! it can have Vampires if it wants 'em! Weirdest Harper Ever.
+ What happens with MCU? I couldn't begin to tell you. But there must be a clever answer.
+ Community: the study group goes to a concert and they all crush, each in their own way. Annie gets... scary.
+ I very much want Ray Person singing The Vampire Lestat across Iraq, but given the givens it makes me want to cry right now. (Generation: Kill, RIP James Ransone)
+ Scott & Bailey -- the teenage girls and Aunt Rachel bond over their crushes
+ Pamela Dean's Tam Lin has immortals. I want to see them emoting at Rice's.
+ And our wailing wonder, Lestat de Lioncourt. // Why, thank you, Sandi. (QI, the other guests are Phill Jupitus and Sue Perkins, because it's a Musical Episode)
+ ST: TOS -- Chekov and Sulu both have posters.
+ Does Venom want one? And how!

The Village Teacher by Liu Cixin [Graphic Novel by Zhang Xiaoyu]
Li Laoshi spends his whole life teaching and protecting the youth in a remote Chinese village. What for?
I read the German edition of the graphic novel version of Liu Cixin's novella. Same as last year, I needed to add a graphic novel to gain time for my challenge. It's cheating in a way, but just like last year, this graphic novel was a Christmas present that I would not otherwise have read, so it's predestined to be used for the Mount TBR challenge, and I don't feel very bad about it. (Not to mention that no amount of cheating will make me reach my goal of 12 books this year.)
some thoughts, spoilery
* The graphics style is very detailed and the aliens and starscapes especially are beautiful. The humans are a little ugly in comparison - but that's the point, I think.
* The whole point of the book is to show how much good teachers are worth. They'll save Earth from destruction.
* That the Earth is saved by a few youngsters spouting physical formulas (Kepler's laws) without understanding them is hilariously Chinese. (And maybe also the point.)
* The two things that stuck in my mind from this book:
** the idea that anyone could at any time be chosen by an alien race as a representative for Earth's population. This would not go well. (But hey, even choosing Chinese students from a backwater village seems to have been enough. Is there hope? :) )
** the fact that even with government support, the teacher wasn't able to pay for his cancer treatment
* It's, from what I've now seen, a pretty typical book for Liu Cixin. He puts his finger on systemic failures of Chinese society, and he invents fantastical alien races. Two for two.
* The moral of the story isn't even bad, knowledge is important, teachers are important. It's okay for a short story.
* I read the whole thing in under an hour, so I'm not surprised that the moral didn't leave a huge impression. It didn't have enough time to develop.
3 stars - very detailed artwork, the human faces a bit too (intentionally) ugly in places to really draw me in, but the novella plot was good

petraThe reason I got a tumblr in 2013 was hockey RPF.
I have been watching my entire dashboard lose its collective mind over Heated Rivalry.
I tried to read this fic, which has in-universe fandom, one of my favorite tropes, and has a retrospective slant on what the development of hockey RPF in-universe would be like. Petra-nip.
I got as far as an in-universe primer for one of the characters, and was swamped with the combined nostalgia/trauma.
They're fictional! They can't possibly be sekrit racists or abetting rapists or not-so-sekritly shaking hands with Putin! They're not real!
And I can't do it.
I hope you are all having a wonderful time with your sinless imaginary hockey bros. I just keep thinking, "But if they were Real, they'd have Secrets that would make me Hate them."
I guess I will continue not engaging, because if I can't read an imaginary primer about an imaginary hockey player, I would be completely pants at watching the show. Primers are how I learned about real hockey players! It's a great starting place!
But not for me.

I hope you are all having a wonderful time with your sinless imaginary hockey bros. I just keep thinking, "But if they were Real, they'd have Secrets that would make me Hate them."
I guess I will continue not engaging, because if I can't read an imaginary primer about an imaginary hockey player, I would be completely pants at watching the show. Primers are how I learned about real hockey players! It's a great starting place!
But not for me.
