Plot: Roxxon is trying to freeze the Savage Land.

This one-shot is all pinups and silliness. And you have the internet, so you don't need pinups.

I have spent most of this morning doing some major cleaning up including taking out garbage, changing bedsheets, etc. and I still have a lot of laundry in the dryers. I am cooking lunch and as soon as the laundry is out of the dryers I'm going to go to my favorite cafe and see what kind of cake they have.

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: What are your crafting goals for 2026?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

It is cold today.  Not freezing but ten degrees above that.  Cold enough.  Another happy day to play PB inside.   I did my usual two hours and it was OK.  I'm never really satisfied but it was fun enough and I got in half a dozen games.  

One of the other players wanted to start up a group within our group inviting the better players.  This lands below the aggressive advanced group but a little above some of our group.  He is doing it on Tueaday and Thursday at noon.  So four hours later in the day (everyone's retired so who cares).  For those of use already signed up for Monday/Wednesday/Friday it offers up the possibility of playing every day.  I'm not sure my wrist and shoulder will find that enticing.  But I was invited and will play tomorrow (and my usual Wednesday) so we'll see how I feel by Thursday.  

I used to ride my bike only every other day until one time I started doing my ride every day.  Turned out I didn't need as much down time as I thought.  I suspect this will not be the case now.  I'm older and the joint stress is worse.  But we'll test the theory.

Just now I cancelled my USAA Visa card with its $35000 credit limit.  It will be interesting to see if my credit score goes down.  Other than two Google screwups I've not used the card for over a year so it may not make any difference at all.  But I don't need it and don't want to have it sitting around for no reason.  One less thing to track.  I've got $2.17 in my USAA checking account and think I've found the last auto deposit entity and redirected it so I can completely close that account too.  And I just transferred the $2.17 so once that reads zero ... Another simplification in my life.

Meanwhile I really need a nap.  So I'm off to take a shower and a nap.

Last year, I posted a reflection on my favourite characters of 2024. It was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd do the same thing again!

As with 2024, I'm going to take a quick look at the preexisting favourites who've particularly occupied my mind this year, and then I'm going to comb through my 'first impressions' tag and give my favourite character from each canon I first posted about in 2025. (If no favourite character comes to mind, I'll skip the canon.) I might also cover a couple of canons I've tried out this year but haven't yet posted about.


My favourite characters of 2025. )


Dexter is a surprising omission here! I watched a lot of that show earlier in the year, but I just don't have an answer to the 'who's your favourite character?' question. I like Deb, but not passionately enough to say with confidence that she's my favourite; I find Dexter interesting, but I can't say for certain whether I like him. I tend to be a very character-focused fan, so it's always a little surprising to me when I get into something without latching strongly on to any of the characters.

Fannish Fifty #48: fave villain

I'm normally not one for the villain, I don't need to know the tragic backstory that drove someone to be bad, give me the hero.

But then... there's Hans Gruber, truly one of the great villains in modern cinema. He's intelligent, organized, focused, educated, with the ability to both dissemble and be vicious. He knows what he wants, to be filthy rich, and he has planned brilliantly to achieve his ambition. (If it wasn't for that meddling cop!)

I didn't see Die Hard in the theater. I hadn't yet realized my love for action movies and Bruce Willis was some guy on a TV show I didn't watch. But I heard such good reviews, I watched it... IDK when or where, but before the sequel came out two years later. Maybe rented the DVD from Blockbuster?

Alan Rickman walked onto the screen and owned every scene, I loved him, and I loved that movie.

I recently showed it to my sister and a nephew, and I was amused by his reactions. "Oh, he uses his real voice for Snape." Um, yep. Rickman has a great voice, silkiest as its most menacing. And "Is that his real hair? Then Snape's hair must be dyed." Hmm. Yeah, actually Snape's hair must be a wig, men usually can't grow their hair that long multiple times for one role over several years.

So yeah. Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber is my fave movie villain, someone I love to watch be bad and get his comeuppance.

jesse_the_k: One section pulled out from peeled orange (shared sweetness)
[personal profile] jesse_the_k

Since we met in 1977, MyGuy has always eaten the spongy white stuff which dwells between an orange and its skin (whether he picks it off the whole peeled orange or nibbles it away from the cut-open peel).

Yesterday I tried it. It's delicious! Michigan State University claims it also has as much vitamin C as the fruit.

What else am I missing?

Regina Keim sent the Facebook Due South Trading Post group a link to this fabulous "Super Mountie" art on the German Etsy site.

I thought people might like to see it. Not sure if it's available outside Europe, though.
