3 good things today

tozka1. re:remembering your dreams: I finally had a weird enough one last night that it stuck with me upon waking up, and I managed to write most of it down. The highlights is me driving a manual car IN ENGLAND and somehow not managing to crash, and also re-obtaining various belongings which had been stolen.
As far as I can tell, most of the dreams I manage to remember have similar themes of either people stealing my stuff or me driving and mostly not crashing into things, sometimes with an added bonus of people barging into my rooms before or after the theft/driving activities. I'm not sure what the point is but at least I've stopped dreaming about missing classes/exams in high school.
2. Had to change my train ticket to my next sit, and went through a very annoying process with the train company; basically you have to prove that you a) bought a new ticket and b) tore up the old one-- well mine was an electronic ticket so I struggled a bit there but got it sent in eventually. Once sent, they take a few days to consider whether you deserve a refund or not, and whether they're going to take a fee out or not. Well! My refund was approved after a few days and I'm waiting for it to be deposited. And no fee taken out, either.
3. I can see a seagull sitting on a neighboring roof's chimney from my attic room window, and there's a very funny fight with another seagull trying to knock the first one off so it can sit there instead. I love birds!

Consent in Ep 1 and 2 of Heated Rivalry
Mar. 9th, 2026 09:15 pmimpala_chickFor the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
marchmetamatterschallenge I'd like to do four meta posts this month and cross-post them to comms and/or Tumblr. This one is about consent in the first two episodes of Heated Rivalry!
In our current internet culture, it seems like there is plenty of purity wank to go around. ( This is based on the show only as I haven't read the books )
OF COURSE Sex scenes can just be enjoyed for what they are, and shouldn't have to be justified. But I'm really grateful the show did not shy away from depicting sex in this way. It's essential for us to see the entire sex scene to understand Shane and Ilya's points of view in these intimate moments.
The TLDR; is that consent is not always black and white and requires good judgment.

Connor on SNL
Mar. 9th, 2026 08:25 pmimpala_chickConnor Storrie hosted season 51, episode 13 of SNL! Someone over at gamechangerhr posted the playlist of the whole episode. I think he did a great job, plenty of laughs and silliness to go around. They brought out Knight and Keller from the USA women's hockey team during the monologue! I know the US has very little to celebrate right now but at least we got women's hockey and Alysa Liu. Very proud that Knight and Keller got such applause and that the Hughes brothers took the deserved jokes well enough.
The funniest sketch wasn't even in the episode though! Here it is, with a Rozanov mention :D
Very cute how they included Hudson in the ice skating sketch. And the stripper sketch was also hilarious even though morbid and NSFW.

everything I know about The Pitt, I don't actually know about The Pitt
Mar. 9th, 2026 08:26 pmlannamichaelsI guess I cannot do the necessary suspension of disbelief/price of admission be in Workplace Fandoms anymore because what I've osmosised of The Pitt Season 2 is a lot of "should characters X, Y, and Z forgive Character A who was abusive and also stole patient medications and -- this part I'm unclear on but it sounds likely -- also practiced medicine in an ER while under the influence? It's very important question on if his apologies were good enough or if people should forgive him or be his friend again" and I'm like "that person should be fired from the hospital, this is not a buddy sitcom where they're all over at each other's apartments and dating each other and their warm opinions of each other matter, this is an emergency room, they are coworkers in a high-pressure high-stakes environment, not friends, he should be fired and they should never see him again and get to decide if they want to invite him to their bookclubs or poker nights or whatever, but the question of 'should they forgive him, has he done enough' is irrelevant because he should lose his medical license."
Monday Media - March 9 Edition
Mar. 9th, 2026 05:19 pmlebateleurGames: Pretty much the typical go-tos.
Music: We have seen some great shows. The first was Peaches ( Cut because Peaches. ) Everything about it: the costumes, the choreography, the energy, was so good. Absolutely phenomenal show. A++ please don't make us wait another three years before you come back again.
The following day we saw Timecop1983 with Bad Dreamers and Brent Michael Woods opening. Woods is very much of the "Richard Marx with an acoustic guitar" mode of mid-80s nostalgia pastiche, which is not my thing per se, but he is very talented at it and thus fun to watch live. Bad Dreamers joined the tour at the last minute when the scheduled opening act was unable to get US visas; I'd been aware of him through his vocals on a bunch of Timecop tracks, and he was just as good live. (And I particularly appreciated his insistence that the venue turn the stage lights off so that he could see the audience despite it's meaning that the audience could not see him.
Timecop1983 was fabulous, as expected. Just a really energetic show that sounded as good or better than the albums live. He was joined by Josh Dally on guitar and vocals as well as a killer live drummer, which really added to the energy (the drummer was clearly having the time of his life), and Dally and Timecop had great onstage chemistry, with Dally providing the garrulous crowd engagement and running commentary, and Timecop the well-timed laconic one-liners. (Dally also graciously handled the very drunk woman in the crowd who kept loudly insisting he go for drinks with her after the show despite the conspicuous wedding band on his hand.)
They played a good selection from their back catalogue as well as some new tracks we weren't familiar with, as well as a few numbers with one or both of Bad Dreamers and Woods on the stage with them. This too was an excellent show and I will certainly see any or all of these acts if they're ever in town again.
Podcasts/Articles: I listened to The Women's Podcast episode The Digital War on Women and How To Fight Back, which was unsurprisingly as horrifying as the title suggests. The panel members were (rightly) so energized about how vile this stuff is that they were unfortunately often not as clear about explaining to the audience what it was they were discussing as one would have wished but they made up for it by explicitly pointing out that the primary solution to all this shit and enshitification is to stop. Just stop. Get off these platforms and go do something else with your time. (That said, how you convince anyone under 15 to do so...)
For long form articles, I read:
Roleplaying: Nothing. The GC is DMing some one shots, but since they're on the days that I am step dancing and I can't be in two places at once, dancing it is 🩰
Television: When the TV's on, pretty much all AEW, all the time. The pendulum is very much swinging back toward Restaurant Quality 😁 these days. Of course, the usual suspects (Hangman, Mox, Young Bucks) are still there with predictable plotlines, but everything going on around them has been great. FTR and Stokely steal the show for every promo and match they're in. You wouldn't necessarily think Brody King vs. Swerve would make sense but it does, and Prince Nana is clearly having the time of his life. The Brawling Birds won me over with the throwback name alone, but they are more than living up to its promise. Jet Speed and Speedball are great. Kyle Fletcher is great. The IInspiration should annoy the living bejeezus out of me but they were hysterical and I wish they'd got five times the screen/ring time, TK please bring them back. Don Callas is as oily and entertaining as ever. The Thunder Rosa vs. Thekla match was fire.
Speaking of wrestling, we also finished out Dimension 20: Titan Takedown group watch, which had a very satisfying (if a bit railroaded, probably due to time constraints) conclusion. Humor, action, lore and iterating in-jokes, and some really affecting emotional character arcs: this is what I want from wrestling and from a D&D game, and this D:20 season had them all in spades. I enjoyed the nostalgia of (most of) The New Day and Bailey, and while I don't watch WWE anymore, it absolutely sold me on Chelsea Green and I hope she makes it over to AEW some day soon.
Video Games: The gaming computer is acting up *sigh* so nothing these past few weeks. We did get Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, which seems to have inspired divergent takes among the people who've played it, so we'll see.

TV Stuff at High Prices
Mar. 9th, 2026 12:46 pmyourlibrarian1) I am starting plans for a fall foliage road trip in October through Michigan. Anyone have any recommendations?
2) Following up on what I wrote about in my last post, I watched several episodes of Paradise S2. I'm not sure why I'm still watching this. ( Spoilers )
3) By contrast, I saw the Muppet Show (special? Apparently a one-off?) and found it a delight. Disney has definitely struggled in finding a way to utilize the Muppets and two shows have now failed. I'm glad they tried to do something different with them, and I rather liked the show where they were trying to make a more realistic "behind the scenes" Muppet show.
But maybe these days a return to the past would be particularly welcome (and surely there's still a lot of appeal for kids). I've got to imagine they've got a potential guest list a mile long. My partner and I kept thinking that some of the puppeteers must have been filled with glee at being able to recreate this show.
It did make me laugh when Sabrina Carpenter said she'd watched the show, her parents had watched the show, and her grandparents had watched the show. We'd be rather young to be her grandparents but, yeah, 50th anniversary after all.
4) I found the first of my top 3 shows of the year last month when we watched How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. I'd quite enjoyed Derry Girls, so was interested in trying this. I found it had a lot of the fun from Derry with an added mystery at the center. ( Read more... )
5) When in his latest charity auction batch Stephen Colbert listed a Lord of the Rings sword that had been on the stage wall, we couldn't believe he'd be selling such a thing at any price. Turns out it's a replica of the actual sword used in the film, which he already has (and he joked he would be buried with). Even so, I figured it would go for a lot, and it's going to be well over $25,000. His neckties are going for over $1000.

Let's Go Karaoke Live Action
Mar. 9th, 2026 04:09 pmvriddyFor my Karaoke Iko people out there, the Let's Go Karaoke movie live-action is available on the Japanese Film Festival website until June 3rd (JST)! Hopefully for your region, too.
If you're not familiar, I can also warmly recommend the 5 episode anime that's on Crunchyroll, if you have access.
I haven't read the manga or its sequel yet but I'm sure they're great fun too ;)
It's been super interesting to watch the movie after the anime and see the tweaks in the adaptation!! I think it all worked really well and I enjoyed it a lot. If you've also watched both (or any!!!!) you should talk to me actually :D

Mar. 9th, 2026 04:46 pmlea_hazelI dare not put my hopes on paper (virtual paper), though plenty of other people have filled the pages of newspapers with their fears. And yeah, the worst case scenarios I can think of are pretty damn bad. But I'd like to think that, even in our world, not all change is for the worse.

Mar. 8th, 2026 07:31 pmolivermoss* Goaltender Interference by Ari Baran - This book was recc'd to me so much. I read the other Ari Baran books in order to get to it, and then I didn't like it much.
I am very glad I read the other books. Ari Baran's stuff is still the best hockey m/m I've read outside of Rachel Reid's books. But yeah, this didn't do it for me.
I've heard that a popular m/m hockey book had name choices that are very distracting if you are a Kraken fan. Well, found the book! Unlike a certain other situation also involving squiddy names, I am very sure this was unintentional. But wow, the name choices threw me out of the book a few times. That made it harder to get into, but I don't think a F&R on the names would have helped much.

PSA: solution for a known issue in Skyward Sword (Lanayru Desert) on Switch & Switch 2
Mar. 8th, 2026 06:13 pmbrightknightieI'm playing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (HD) on Switch 2, docked, with a Pro Controller. Last night, I ran into an "I must be doing this wrong" frustration that turned out to be a known glitch, apparently affecting most folks playing without the motion controls for which the game was originally designed on the Wii. The most accessible advice on the internet is to "just" switch over to joy cons, turn on motion controls, calibrate, complete the puzzle, switch back to the pro controller, and switch back to button controls. ;-) Happily, I found an alternative tip -- to "flick" the right stick in a certain way -- and it worked!
I'd like to share, in case this helps anyone else: ( Spoilers for which puzzle has this issue, the glitch, and how to proceed without motion controls )
The possibility that I'm doing something wrong in a game is always first and foremost. :-) In this case, though, it's an actual known imperfection in an otherwise very impressive port.
