Challenge 3:

This is hard! Like a lot of people I stopped being passionately interested in music some time in my youth (around my 30s, I think.) So a lot of these will be from before that drop-off, when I was heavily into prog rock.

Having said that, I'm starting with one of my favourites from right now. Amanati, who I found through sword dancing and immediately wanted to belly dance to as well. Cretan trance music - Fos by Amanati
Speaking of belly dance music, this lady is my current favourite MENA musician Maro Hereira with Bladi What can I say, it's my trance background coming out again.
I am not a big fan of Western trained opera or choral singers, but I make an exception for the counter-tenor voice, which I think sounds like angels. For example Andreas Scholl - Who may abide the day of His coming?
I quite enjoy bardcore as long as it uses actual instruments rather than synth, and it puts a bit of effort into its language. Hildegard von Blingen with Pumped Up Kicks
This is not really music so much as it is someone talking about ancient music in a way that helps me understand music theory and history. He makes music too but I have to confess to not having listened to that part except for some of his medieval tavern music. Which is infinitely superior to bardcore. Farya Faraji getting heated about the duduk
Okay, now back into the far distant past, during which my second favourite group in all the world was Hawkwind, a band whose musical style my mother described as "music that sounds like you're listening to it through two walls." Hawkwind - The Psychadelic Warlords Disappear in Smoke
My first favourite band in those days was Emerson Lake and Palmer, and despite the intense nostalgia rush I had when I first re-heard the beginning of this album, I have no idea why. God, it's horrible - ELP with Tarkus
Surely this one is still beautiful? I remember Yes as being almost too pretty for my tastes. Close to the Edge by Yes Oh no, I'm not sure I like that either. Thank goodness Hawkwind still holds up.
Basically the only things I'm listening to now are belly dance music and the tracks of fanvids. So here is a fanvid I have singled out because I really love the music: The Future will be Silent - a fanvid by Wyomingnot
And here is a belly dancing track that I particularly like. Ya Hassan by Yassir Jamal

For Poetry Monday:

Tired, Langston Hughes

I am so tired of waiting.
Aren’t you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two—
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

---L.

Subject quote from Vuelvo al Sur, Astor Piazzolla & Fernando Solanas, though I confess I prefer the Gotan Project cover.

THEME: FAVOURITE(S) 2025 - Heated Rivalry

prettygoodword

Theme week! I have some fun polysyllabic ones near each other on my list, so I've grouped them together for some sesquipedalian fun.

cucurbitologist (kyoo-kur-bi-TOL-oh-jist) - n., someone who studies or cultivates Cucurbitaceae.

That is to say, members of the family that includes gourds, melons, squash, pumpkins, and cucumbers. Ye pumpkin farmer is a cucurbitologist. Coined from Latin cucurbita, gourd -- which is not a complete stretch, as cucurbit meaning gourd (and the gourd-shaped portion of an alembic) dates back to Middle English, from Anglo-Norman, from Old French.

The word came to my attention from someone describing Linus Van Pelt from Peanuts as a cryptocucurbitologist.

Roots, Radicals and Rockers: How Skiffle Changed the World
by Billy Bragg

This book covers the rise and fall of skiffle, a pre-rock British genre that flourished during the 1950s. It was based on traditional jazz, American roots music, and British folk. It was also very DIY, developing alongside mid-century youth culture. It was made almost entirely by amateurs, and was often rough and unpolished but very energetic. Bragg does a great job of looking at the music that gave rise to skiffle and following the people who developed skiffle. He tells a compelling story about interesting music. I especially liked the way Bragg connects this almost forgotten music to the seminal British rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as to punk (another raucous DIY music).

Dear Care and Feeding, ( Read more... )

I've been hopping around a bit in terms of watching things, starting a series here and there, and then dropping it. I don't know, I seem to get to a point where I just lose interest in a lot of the storylines (and sometimes, the predictability). But! I have been watching movies. Some recent, some ancient.

I finally got around to watching On the Beach (1959), and I enjoyed it. I think what really stood out to me is how quiet it is, not so much in the sense of actual sound, but in the way it plays out. Spoilers, just in case: ( Read more... )

I also watched We Bury the Dead (2024), which is predictable in many ways (the 'twists' were pretty easy to spot), but still enjoyable (to me, at least, who likes these apocalyptic scenarios). The acting was solid, I thought, and the circumstances for how the situation happened were unique enough to add a little uncertainty and mystery to things. I'm not sure I would watch it again, but I enjoyed watching it.

Target Earth (1998)'s IMDB description is After aliens inhabit human bodies, it's up to a small-town policeman to protect a child who holds the key to defeating the extraterrestrials. I believe it's a remake of a 1954 film. Anyway, it's pretty cheese-ball in a lot of ways, but also surprisingly good. I have been watching some movies from the 90s lately (for example, Die Hard 2) and it's kind of hilarious to see the way things have changed in terms of technologies, etc (it's very weird to see movies like Die Hard 2 where people can have guns in airports and also smoke indoors, and carry tasers on planes, and also have to line up at the public phones to make calls, I remember those days, and also, wow, things have changed). Anyway, Target Earth was an entertaining watch, pretty slow paced in a lot of ways, but I like that.

Greenland: Migration (2026) is an enjoyable sequel to Greenland (which I also enjoyed). People are forced to leave their Greenland survival bunker (where they holed up during catastrophic meteor strikes), and this is about what happens next, and what the world is like around them. Morena Baccarin is great, the storyline is pretty predictable in some ways, but has a few slightly unpredictable elements that take it away from the standard post-apocalyptic fare. Spoilers, in case: ( Read more... )

I rewatched Elevation (2024) which stars Anthony Mackie and Morena Baccarin, and I liked it possibly even more than the first time. They're both survivors living at high latitudes (above 8000ft) after the emergence of some kind of creatures that kill humans but have a hard stop at 8000ft, and can't get past those latitudes. Mackie is a dad who needs some medical equipment for his kid, and Baccarin is a cranky, heavy-drinking scientist. They head down to the lower elevations to get the medical stuff, and so Baccarin can get some materials she needs that she thinks will make the creatures vulnerable to human weapons. It's well acted, and an enjoyable (if often tense) watch. It also showcases what can happen when people work together. I would actually really like a sequel to this one, as the very end tells us about what the creatures might be (though there are hints throughout).

I also watched Ghosts of Mars (2020). It is terrible. Not even 'so terrible it's fun to watch'. It's just plain terrible.

It's been so long since I watched a show not just fannishly but in full fannish company that I had somehow forgotten just HOW MANY false positives I end up with when testing out possible vidsongs for zeitgeist-y shows or movies. I get all excited on the start of a walk to work or at the beginning of cooking dinner, and then by the end I'm reminding myself that "song with one startlingly apropos verse" is not the same as "actually workable vidsong." BUT THEN I think about how some of my favorite vids are my favorites because they take a song that is a slightly weird fit in some way and make it feel inevitable, and I start second-guessing myself.

As with so many vid-related things in the last twenty-five years, I blame

What a busy weekend, and we're not even done.

Saturday I made pink pancakes for the kiddos, then took CG and 5yo to piano lessons. Afterwards, we hit up the library for an hour, since Dr Lady had a 3 hour taekwondo event. I found a few more kids' cook books and am going to try again to get CG involved in the weekly cooking. I swear at this point I'm beating a dead horse, but hey, maybe the horse will suddenly start kicking. I feel like if I can just find the right thing, she'll get interested. She likes making eggs, after all.

After we got home from the library, they helped me clean out the garage. Once Dr Lady came home, I let everyone vege for a few hours, because that evening we were going to pick up some Indian food and go watch the bats. Half of that turned out all right--surprisingly the food pick up. We had a 30min wait for our food, so the kids sprinted back and forth outside, and then I corralled them in the back of the car where they happily worked through 5yo's activity book. He's gotten really into those find-the-object activities, as well as simple mazes, so Dr Lady got him a whole stack of those kinds of books for his birthday.

The food took longer than I'd budgeted for, timewise, so by the time we got to bats, the nearby parking was full up and people were everywhere. We had to walk a ways and then we were on the wrong side of the road to really watch, but it was getting too dark and there were too many cars to cross the road safely. We got to see somebats come out of the bat houses, but not the endless stream I was hoping for.

And then it was very dark and 5yo was tired and wild and running all over the place--near the gator-infested lake and then near the car-infested road. Not great! Then he just laughed at us when we told him to stop and come back, so I had to take away his stuffie for the evening. It was a struggle with him the rest of the night, but at least Sunday we were fine again.

Both kids were up when it was time to go get groceries, so I put 5yo on my bike and CG biked on her own. She's doing such a good job with biking further and further and learning how to share the road with cars. She had no problem at all biking all the way to the grocery store and back again.

We only had a little time at home after, because the university put on a little science fair at Depot Park that only ran for a few hours. So we hustled over there and the kids got to touch a whale's baleen, learn about frog calls, and pet caterpillars. It was fun, if a bit windy, because the cold front was coming in. We closed out the fair and then played on the playground for a bit and I reminisced on how we used to come to this park every weekend. The friends we'd meet up with there have all unfortunately moved on or ghosted us, but I really want to go there more often again. It's such a nice park with a big playground and lots of safe space for the kids to run around in.

We were all exhausted by the time we got home, so we let the kids vege again.

And today, as soon as these kiddos wake up, we're going to see manatees. :)

Recently,

littlerhymes sent me the Guardian’s poll for Australia’s Best Picture Books. As I am nothing if not suggestible, at least where picture books are concerned, of course I couldn’t help reading a few.

Magic Beach, written and illustrated by Alison Lester, which alternates scenes of children playing at the beach with their corresponding imaginary adventures: they build a sandcastle, then imagine charging across the moat to defeat a fiery dragon, etc. The style of the illustrations doesn’t particularly appeal to me, but the conceit is charming, and I did like the kid who has a hat brim that looks like the inside of a watermelon. I’d love to have that hat too.

Possum Magic, by Mem Fox, illustrated by Julie Vivas. Possibly THE most Australian experience of my life, up to and including the time I actually visited Australia. A magic possum and her granddaughter tour the major cities of Australia, eating classic Australian foods like Vegemite sandwiches and lamingtons along the way.

Where the Forest Meets the Sea, written and illustrated by Jeannie Baker. A story about a boy and his father boating over for a picnic on the beach of the Daintree rainforest in Queensland, with absolutely gorgeous collage illustrations. Thrilling to look at and also thrilling to try to figure out what materials Baker used to construct the images.

Edward the Emu, by Sheena Knowles, illustrated by Rod Clement. I picked this one because of the cover, which features a grumpy emu lying flat on the ground. Who among us has not felt like that some days? Edward the emu is tired of being an emu, so he pops over to visit the seals, the lions, the snakes, etc., until he overhears someone saying that the emu is their favorite exhibit in the zoo. Well well WELL. That puts being an emu in a new light!

Who Sank the Boat?, written and illustrated by Pamela Allen. Recommended by

littlerhymes as a childhood favorite, and I could absolutely see a child requesting this story over and over and over and over and over and squealing with glee at the ending every time. (A most unexpected character sinks the boat.) Might lend this one to my mother to read to my niece.

A delightful exploration! I wish to continue my meander through classic Australian children’s books. Any recommendations?

Flickr wants me to verify my age. They explain that this is a result of the Online Safety Act.

It's irritating, but not impossible. The first time I encountered it, it tool me by surprise, so I just backed off, and did something else. When I had

durham_rambler ready to advise, and some pieces of ID handy, I logged in to Flickr only to be admitted straight off, and couldn't find any way to call up the relevant screen. Eventually, no doubt, the stars will align and I will persuade Flickr that I am over 18.

But while I was there, I checked my profile: I opened my Flickr account in February 2006. Which os surely evidence that I am over 18.

I find it trying when it's 17° indoors (63), but manageable (with sweaters and wool socks etc) for the most part. But right now it's 14° (57) in the warmest room in the house.

It's too cold to knit, or sit writing or using a keyboard for very long, because all those things require my hands being outside the blankets. The only things it's not too cold to do are being inside a cocoon of blankets, or moving around so briskly that it warms me up temporarily. That's tough, though, because I hate the part before you warm up.

ergotism [ur-guh-tiz-uhm]

noun

a condition caused by eating rye or some other grain that is infected with ergot fungus or by taking an overdose of a medicine containing ergot, characterized by cramps, spasms, and a form of gangrene. Also called: Saint Anthony's fire.

examples

1. Looking at depictions of St. Anthony in the paintings of Renaissance masters, the influence of the disease of ergotism on the history of art starts to become clear. "How Renaissance Painting Smoldered with a Little Known Hallucinogen." Forrest Muelrath. 15 Sept 2017

2. Experts now know that those symptoms are common among people with convulsive ergotism, or ergot poisoning, which is caused by a fungus that can grow on wheat, rye, and other similar grains. Sarah Klein, Health.com, 2 Oct 2017

origins
borrowed from French ergotisme, from ergot ergot + -isme -ism

ergot comes from "spur on a rooster, a similar growth on another bird or mammal, fungal sclerotium resembling a rooster's spur," earlier also argot, going back to Old French argoz (subject case) "spur of a bird or animal," derivative from a Gallo-Romance base *arg- "spine, spiny or thorny plant," probably from a pre-Latin substratal language

The 2026 Three-Sentence Ficathon is now at an end! Still open to fills, but there are no new prompts being posted. Here's an eighth and (probably) final roundup of my fills; once again, all of these are for The Goes Wrong Show.

( Assorted ficlets for the Goes Wrong Show, 1,400 words total. )

And that's the end of this Three-Sentence Ficathon! It's my favourite fandom event of the year, and this year in particular I've had an incredible time with it. I ended up writing fifty-six fills, totalling just over ten thousand words; fifty-two of those fills were for The Goes Wrong Show, because I have a problem.

Thank you to everyone for your prompts and comments and fills! Thank you in particular to anyone who read my Goes Wrong Show fics without being familiar with the series; a couple of people even checked the show out because of my fills, which absolutely delighted me. My main goals were to have a good time and spread Goes Wrong propaganda, and I think I've succeeded in both.

Still not reading much, but I did read some books during the past two months!

The Incandescent by Emily Tesh (2025)
Listened to the audiobook for my book club. This is the first book in a while that grabbed me in a page-turney way, and I enjoyed it a lot! I'm sure it can be picked at, and we did so during book club, but for me it was mostly notable in being a book I was immersed in while reading, which for me these days is rare.

The Sleeping Soldier by Aster Glenn Gray (2023)
When I first started reading this, my feeling was that "yeah, I read a lot of posts on the author's DW about this book, and I guess the book is exactly what I was expecting it to be". Like, in a way I felt as though I didn't even have to read the book. But this feeling passed when I got into the particulars of the characters and their relationships so that they felt real to me, so that it wasn't just about the Idea of the book any longer, and then I thoroughly enjoyed it. (The Idea of the book being, if you haven't heard of the book before, the contrast between what was allowable in male friendships in 1860 and 1960.)

I also listened to about half of The West Passage by Jared Pechaček (2024), also for book club. I feel like the book had a lot of Gormenghast DNA, and I enjoyed the weird worldbuiling, but I didn't end up finishing it.

Ooh, ooh! There are leaf buds beginning to uncurl on the medlar tree. I barely got my apricot tree replanted in time because there are buds there too. They're still tightly clenched but they're visible in a sort of lovely plum bronze colour.

Snowdrops and crocuses are carpeting the graveyard of the church in our village. We've nearly made it, folks. These last couple of weeks are the worst, but the end is in sight.

Confident

Psalm 32:4-5 – For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

Holy Scripture refers to King David as “the sweet psalmist of Israel” (2 Samuel 23:1b). Today we use his inspired songs and prayers in our worship and personal devotions. We remember him as an ancestor of Jesus. Even many unbelievers know about David. They may have heard about the shepherd boy who hurled a stone from his sling and killed the giant Goliath. Sadly enough, we also remember Israel’s king for his sins, especially his adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Bathsheba’s husband Uriah.

Yet in his psalms, David—known for his sins as well as his songs—speaks often of his righteousness and integrity. In one psalm, David says, “So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight” (Psalm 18:24). In other psalms David wants to be judged according to his righteousness and the integrity within him. The psalmist speaks of his faithfulness. His psalms speak of the Lord’s righteousness and his own as well. We know the stories of David’s sins. Did he forget about those events in his own life? How can the psalmist speak with such confidence about his righteousness and integrity?

The psalmist is certain about his own righteousness because of his absolute confidence in the faithfulness of God. After he sinned, the psalmist felt the weight of God’s Law and said, “Day and night Your hand was heavy upon me.” Moved by the Holy Spirit, the psalmist continues, “I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity.” David knew what he had done. He repented of his sins and he did so with unwavering confidence in the steadfast love and forgiveness of God. The sweet singer and repentant sinner stood before God in righteousness and integrity because he knew that the Lord had forgiven him: “I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,’ and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.” Those words shape our own confident prayers. Soon it will be Ash Wednesday. Throughout the season of Lent we will follow our Lord as He takes up His path to the cross. It is a season of repentance, and we will remember how our Lord Jesus, the Son of David, took the burden of our sins onto Himself on the cross. Jesus suffered and died so that our sins are forgiven. Set free from sin and guilt, we stand before God in righteousness and integrity. Like the sweet psalmist of Israel, we can be confident in the steadfast love and forgiveness of the Lord.

WE PRAY: Heavenly Father, have mercy on me and forgive my sins for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

This Daily Devotion was written by Dr. Carol Geisler.

Most of the time the night sky over Eastbourne gets blanded out by light pollution but yesterday, around ten o'clock, I happened to look out the south-west facing window and there, floating over Beach Head, for the first time this winter, I saw Orion with his entourage- and they were all so sharp and clear that even the Pleiades were visible.

Hey, I've suddenly- just this instant- had a flash of inspiration or knowing. The Long Man of Wilmington, our ancient hill figure: might he not be a representation of Orion? They're the same sort of shape....

OK, I've just checked and it's not a new idea- how could it be?- but it's new to me.....

Because if Orion floats over Beachy Head there must be times, if you're standing in the right place, you'll see him floating over Windoor Hill- further along in the chain of the Downs- with the Long Man right below him- the one shining in the sky the other, outlined in chalk, shining ghostly out of the grass.....

I think the Long Man is a portal, a gateway to the stars....

Go sit at his feet. Ingest some mushrooms. See what comes next.....

Every year, for romantic holidays--Valentine's, our anniversary--Denise and I celebrate by doing an art project. This year, since she's been taking a fabric book class at Maude Kerns Art Center, I'd dug out all my remaining fabric scraps, what didn't get used in my pandemic quilt project (still unfinished, I'm afraid). Which gave me an idea.

I've been following an artist named Ann Smith on Instagram almost since I started my account there, I think she was one of the first suggested posts that popped up in my feed. She does fabric art as persimmonstudioart, hand-stitched patchwork pictures of birds. She gets some amazing effects with layering different patterns of fabric, even suggesting iridescence on grackles and starlings. It's gorgeous work.

So we decided to do a bit of birding ourselves. I pre-sewed background panels on my machine, six by nine inches, found and printed some reference photos--Denise picked a robin, I, a goldfinch. Then we chose and ironed our fabric scraps, transferred patterns for different color sections to scrap paper with carbon paper. (I'm amazed at the stuff Denise has stashed away; there are advantages to being in a borderline hoarding relationship.)

Cut out pieces, aligned them on the reference photo. Many of them were too small to pin, so we scotch-taped them together to transfer to the backgrounds, roughly stitched them down with some of the many different colors of thread Denise has for bookbinding.

I think they turned out pretty well.

Had a pretty successful firing, even top and bottom, very little oxidation, mostly on the very bottom by the door. I had a little over-reduction up top, could ask for a little less brown, but over all, very successful. Here are some serving bowls, just out of the kiln.

And a few of the many special orders.

Yes, I know, I said I wouldn't make spoon rests again. It was a long-time customer, and she dropped her old one...

offcntr

Stopped at the St. Vinnie's off River Road with Denise, looking for fabric for her bookbinding class. Since JoAnn went belly-up, there's no good fabric store nearby (that isn't Hobby Lobby. feh.), but you can occasionally find bits and scraps in the thrift stores. While she was going through the bins of fat quarters, I perused the end caps.

And found a friend.

This is a bulb forcer, for getting narcissus bulbs to bloom in winter. I have one much like it in my cupboard at home. It's by my late friend, Kathy Lee.
