using others' stories
Aug. 24th, 2022 05:23 pmA little bit of 自画自赞 bragging: I passed the HSK4! With a notably lower score on writing than on listening or reading lol, but at least I managed to scrape through. This is an utterly useless qualification--you need HSK5 at the lowest for work etc., and that's still far out of my reach--but it's a nice milestone.
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint of the week: damn, “...I might end up nagging you for more chapter uploads" is basically Kim Dokja saying “I love you too” (not in a romantic sense) and they both know it *sniff*. Honestly, I love Han Sooyoung more and more.
Yoo Joonghyuk, oh dear: “The sin of living on, the sin of surviving by trampling on someone else's stories, the sin of using others' Stories as your fertiliser and daring to spread your branches and sprouting new buds – so, if you're alive, then be responsible for those sins.”
Quotidiana: I had this idea I wouldn't have much work in August, so I started a serious housecleaning, a little bit every day. Actually I've had rather more work than expected...but it's a break from sitting at the computer at least, even though I hate kitchen cleaning with a passion. Why doesn't somebody invent a mini Roomba thing that would zoom around the stovetop or counter or whatever and get it clean, no scrubbing required?
From yaaurens' Shakespeare readings, Titus Andronicus is a horrifying play but I'm delighted by Tamora's complaint, "Why have I patience to endure all this?". You said it, lady.
Music: I know I've posted Elis Regina singing "Cartomante" before, but she's just so good. "Porque na verdade, eu te quero vivo..."
Also I've been watching a lot of smalin's videos lately, various (mostly classical) pieces, some well known and some less so, animated in shape and color; they're very carefully thought out, occasionally funny (the triangle!), and very soothing.
Guardian: I've been enjoying the DW mirror of the "Dragon City interior design" tumblr site; I wonder if it would be a faux pas to comment on the DW posts, even if the original poster won't see it, it seems like such a shame to have all these amazing conversation starters and no actual discussion (why isn't there a site with the good features of both tumblr and DW).
Photos: A white-and-orange sequence (the white flower will be pink by the end of the day, it's a drunk hibiscus, that's its name), a veranda morning-glory in profile, and two (sober) hibisci.

Be safe and well.
