a list to start the week
Feb. 21st, 2021 08:38 pm1. The canals are full of swiftly flowing water again. Yay! I wasn't sure if they would come back or not.
I am looking forward to a spring full of turtles and frogs and minnows and crawfish.
2. Today while I was watching dishes, I watched a tiny bird fly multiple times from the eaves down into the thicket, search for the perfect leaf, fly it up to the gutter, pose as if for a picture, and then disappear up the roof to presumably build its nest. It was very relaxing.
3.
Black Sun Rising by C.S. Friedman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I had forgotten most of what happens in this book, so I really enjoyed this reread and was continually surprised.
Friedman is such a good writer. All her books have such interesting and unusual world building. I think I prefer her straight up science fiction novels to this series, but I really love The Coldfire Trilogy. It's so tropey: enemies forced to work together, all the h/c anyone could ever want, plus you don't even need goggles for the slash to leap off the page. LOL

4. We watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 today. ( spoilers )
5. I started watching Gibi's ASMR channel at night before bed, and I am really digging it. I don't like ASMR in general, so IDK why I like her videos, but I do. I don't like all of them; the ones where she puts on costumes and wigs and plays a character are instant cringe for me, but I like most of the others. I have discovered that my favorites are the ones where she is pretending to touch the viewers' face/hair in some way. Of her recent videos, I really liked "Doing Your Makeup Before Class" and "My Jewelry Collection Up Close." I haven't watched the videos she uploaded yesterday yet; I suspect they are not my jam. LOL
