Here's an interesting observation:

Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about Ablaut reduplication.

If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.'
-tic-tac-toe

If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’
-click-clack
-King-Kong

I can think of a few exceptions, like "bone-dry," and more rhymes like "helter-skelter." Some like "merry-go-round" seem to follow a similar high to low pattern.

Challenge #10: Big Mood (Board)

CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU LOVE AND CREATE A MINI MOOD COLLECTION OF THREE (or more) ITEMS THAT EVOKE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT IT. You don’t have to limit yourself to visual media, or collect the items into a special format like a square (though you can if you’d like).

So for this challenge, I thought I would concentrate on something that is prominent in my mind at the moment. My first convention of the year is hurtling toward me, only three months away.

Those who know me well know I operate almost exclusively in the Supernatural fandom, and Supernatural conventions are my happy place.

That's where I can be me. I can meet up with the fabulous friends I've made through fandom. I can catch up with Supernatural's awesome cast. I can create art for autographs. I get to travel and broaden my horizons - in recent years, apart from my homeland of the UK, my Supernatural travels have taken me to France, Germany and Italy.

So yes, this is a happy, joyful convention mood board...

Hello, I am still recovering, etc. Quite nicely as these things go, but still not up to doing all my usual little things.

Anyway, thought of something fannish and fun I could do if anyone wanted it - I made a personalised bingo card for

theseatheseatheopensea once, which was fun, and I do always love doing that kind of thing. So...

... if anyone else would find a custom-made bingo card (for writing/creating prompts) fun/useful/inspiring, comment here and I will have a go at making you one!

(I'll use the Bingo Generator, so it's very easy, and if I fail and include some rubbish prompts, a new card without such prompts can magically be re-generated with no trouble. Will do any size from 2x2 to 5x5.)

So just comment here if you'd like one & say what size card you'd prefer. You can also point me to/away from any fandoms/prompt types etc if you'd like, but no need. (If I'm really stuck for some reason, I'll just ask you for some pointers!)

After seeing Christmas Carol Goes Wrong on stage, I bought the official script; I thought it would be a nice way to remind myself of my evening at the theatre. And it is! But it's also interesting to see how many things had been changed or added by the time I saw it in performance.

Flicking through, here are some of the more interesting differences I've noticed between the script version and the actual performance I saw on the fourteenth of January!

( Some differences between the script and the actual staged version of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong. )

Finally, a delightful little exchange from the script that I don't remember being in the show itself:

Sandra: Listen, we all know the Cornley Gazette's official policy has been not to review our shows since our immersive production of Dracula.
Robert: The small print on the ticket clearly said I would enter his house and bite him.

If you want a homemade pizza that requires no kneading, no special flour, or long wait time (because who among has ever said “what I really crave is pizza that will be ready 1 to 3 days from now”), you should really, really be making more pan pizzas at home. You might even consider it a worthwhile addition to your 2026 cooking bucket list.

Last year I played a game a month, and actually accomplished it! This year...I did not. I had plans but everything was overthrown in the first part of the year. These are the games I played in 2025:

Vintage Story
Jupiter Hell
Forgive Me Father
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (review pending)

I was originally playing Horizon's Gate and then Vintage Story hit me like a truck and consumed all of my time. I spent the first six months or so of the year playing that, then played some Cataclysm and other games for a bit before picking up Jupiter Hell, played Witch Spring R but didn't beat it--I'm playing in Japanese so it's taking quite a while--and near the end of the year I bought Clair Obscur on sale and played it right through the end of the year. No review yet because I'm cleaning up all the post-game stuff, but soon.

Not as many games as last year, but boy did I enjoy all that time with Vintage Story.

I'm a bit torn right now. I don't know if I should pursue something with this person.

She's nice to me, we always have good conversations but we see eachother only once a week.

Maybe I'll try and ask her to grab a coffee or something, but I'm a bit confused whether I should or not look to get something going between us, the reason being: I don't know if we click that well. I mean, we have no interest in common and that kinda sucks.

Still, she's nice and I like giving her little gifts from time to time, maybe I'll pretend I had to arrive early this week so I can chat with her a bit more.

It's probably my last, because I've had increasingly stronger reactions over the last 3 or 4. After the original pair, I had the expected muscle aches and tiredness, but after the last one, I had fever (38.6) and chills and spent 2 days in bed with max ibuprofen until a friend suggested taking Benadryl. That cleared it up.

Yesterday I took 25 mg of Benadryl before the shot (3 pm) and another 25 after (because I didn't want to pass out on the bus), then went to bed early. Today I've had worsening fever and chills that Benadryl helps somewhat, and I just took 600 mg of ibu because I woke up from my nap and was shivering violently. I'm also hungry and queasy at the same time, and my neck is sore and stiff.

I went for a short walk before getting groceries and felt Wrong, and while I was shopping, I got queasy.

So most likely it's some kind of allergic-type reaction. I can't find anything useful through Duck Duck Go, unfortunately. I don't know if I should go to a doctor if I'm not better tomorrow.

The ibu brought down my fever and made my skin stop hurting, so that's an improvement. I'm going to go eat some applesauce, because the thought of anything solid makes me gag.
