[#274 | Near-Death Experience] Challenge Post
| Challenge 274: NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE |
It wasn’t the end...but it sure was close. For a lot of characters, close calls are pretty common – whether they’re fighting dragons, visiting aliens, or traveling through magic wastelands, they deal with a lot of dangers. But even then, actual near-death experiences are pretty rare. What happened? Did your characters witness some kind of afterlife, or something else entirely, or nothing at all? How did they survive? Write a story about a near-death experience. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, September 22 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 274 – near-death experience • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |

silly body continues to be silly, yet I trudge forward, for I am frikkin' stubborn
In the course of dealing with silly body stuff with which I will not bore you, my sleep cycle got turned upside down again, so I am busy with various attempts at precessing back to a more manageable situation.
Somewhere in some book or other, a character said something about the phrase for having a hangover in a certain language was "my eyes are not opposite the holes." It's not a hangover, but when my sleep schedule is deeply out of synch and I'm trying to do stuff connected to the outside world's schedule, I kind of feel like my life is not opposite the holes.
How's your life matching your hours of access lately?

Om nom: food combinations, or, playing with what's here
So a little while back, for. my birthday I got various tasty things to nibble. One of them was salmon skin and salted egg crisps, with curry leaves in the mix, and some spice. Extremely tasty. When I got down to the bottom of the bag, there were a lot of little shards and crumbs that were particularly spicy. A mental note was. made for possible future uses.
Today was a future use. There wasn't a fresh vegetable in the house, but I wanted something with both softness and crunch, and wanted it to be in something that had umami plus. The last of the bread gave me toast. There was some braunsweiger (liver paste, Nueske's in particular) which went onto the toast, cut pretty thinly. (I am from people who like thick slices of braunsweiger on toast or bread, and normally I do too, but this was a special application, part flavor and part structural adhesive.) Then I spooned out some of the fragments from the bottom of the bag of salted egg and salmon skin crisps, laying them on top of the liver paste and pressing them in with the back of the spoon, and had it open-faced.
Big win. Big tasty win. Especially the way the curry leaves went with the braunsweiger.
Must remember this and make it again.
Part of the idea for this one was looking at the braunsweiger and wishing I could magically make a banh mi from the place in Global Market appear. So some of the taste combo came from that. Lettuce or bok choy or other green or variously colored thinly sliced vegetables, with vinegar or not, would have been great, but there was no such suppy in the house, alas. Although hey, there is a little new kraut in the back of the fridge which should get eaten up. Hmmm. Although we are out of bread now. Hmm. I wonder how it would be on top of ramen noodles. Pity that the boiled eggs are all et up.
Do you have any tasty kludged-together food that you are fond of? What gave you the idea?
(My term for kludged-together food is "cream of refrigerator soup," which explains the tag. No actual soup was generated in this particular instance.)

wednesday book about a Great Man
Gauss, Titan of Science by G. Waldo Dunnington, with additional material by Jeremy Gray. I mentioned in last week's post that during recent air travel I watched a movie with a dubiously historical version of Gauss and was entertained but ultimately would accept no substitutes for actual historical Gauss.
This is the biography of Carl Friedrich Gauss that I picked up off a university library shelf when I was 15, and made me go all swoony over Gauss's letter proposing to his first wife (link is to the original German manuscript). Returning to it with less swooniness and a more mature ability to evaluate historical sources, and also reading a new edition with helpful front matter, it's clear the book is not 100% "actual historical Gauss": it starts off with a version of the famous 5050 story, which is based on an anecdote that Gauss reportedly told about his childhood, but probably didn't happen exactly that way.
Indeed, as I learned from the front matter, G. Waldo Dunnington was a professional Gauss stan; one of his elementary school teachers was a great-granddaughter of Gauss, and learning that there was no Victorian Great Man biography of Gauss, he spent his entire academic career (interrupted by WWII) remedying that lack. Since I'm also a Gauss stan, I found the book generally readable if sometimes a bit repetitive, and enjoyed various fun Gauss facts. (In the department of obscure historical figures who ought to be fictionalized, there is Friedrich Ludwig Wachter, Gauss's student who studied non-Euclidean geometry and vanished without a trace at age 25.)
I'll probably do more Gauss reading (though also I now have an unproofread scan of Teresa by Edith Ayrton Zangwill so I may read that first); I've started with the letters online, but may also seek out other biographies. I continue to be fascinated by Gauss's youngest daughter, whose story would make a good historical romance; and having done some Gauss reading I'm starting to think I can actually write this fic.

A couple nights ago was the first night of the eye goop where I couldn't fall asleep easily and it was very annoying because everything is soft focus Vaseline haze so I can't read until I get more tired.
I'm going to need more podcasts or maybe delve into audio books or something. But I guess it'll have to be book I've read before. But sometimes I fall asleep in under 30 minutes and sometimes it's hours, and books that are too interesting are too interesting. But also the ad breaks are getting longer and longer in podcasts and more and more repetitive and I can't skip easily.
--
I've gone my first whole bottle of eye drops. We got a three pack from costco and I'm happy because they can get expensive. And there were some days when I know I should have used more.
My right eye has been bothering me more recently. I'm curious about what this deterioration is going to be like.
--
I've started using Hank Green's Focus Friend app. It recently added a new room, and my Bean Friend has been knitting away to help furnish it. It's been useful.
I think one of the more annoying things about it, is that it makes me aware of how little time things take? Like I'll be like "I'm gonna put away my laundry! Set the focus session for 20 minutes" And then 10 minutes later, it's all done. It feels like it takes 20 minutes, but the awareness of the reality is annoying.
It's probably a good thing, overall, to have these regular reminders that this chore really just takes 10 minutes maximum. But still annoying XD
--
I'm considering getting an ereader that's newer than my .... 15 year old Aluratec Libre? Open to recs, I'm thinking kobo but I keep seeing boox and am tempted by that as well. I know I don't want the kindle.
I do need to go hold things though.
We're thinking of going somewhere south in the winter for a vacation, so I think it'd be nice to have for then.

I mentioned Ray Nayler's phrase "extraction zones" in my last post. Here are some podcast episodes I've listened to in the last few months that have alerted me to similar evocative turns of phrase:
I do listen to some fiction and review podcasts, not only history/analysis. :-)
- *It Could Happen Here*: Neoliberalism Part 3: Where Is Paul Volker (Dec. 2021): In part 3 of our series on Neoliberalism we look at the coup in Chile, the Volker shock, the collapse of the G77, Venezuela's failed industrialization campaign and the conversion of the Third World into debt colonies.
- *The Outlaw Ocean*: Waves of Extraction (October 2022): It's the podcast and episode titles that grabbed my attention, but the episode description is A trip to Gambia to learn how fishmeal is meant to slow the depletion of fish from the seas but is actually accelerating the problem.
- *A Matter of Degrees*: The Tongass: A Way Forward for the Forest (Mar. 2023): Marina and Richard describe the boom-and-bust extractive economy of the past [in Alaska].

Day 17 or 18 of the September Stampede
Another week has passed us by and some of us might still be stampeding, some of us might be stepping more cautiously or even hobbling along struggling (like me) trying to balance out other commitments and squeeze in a few blasts of time to catch up.
If you've been using the table and tackling something each day, feel free to tell us all about it this week. If not here's the table and pick up with today's (or any other day that suits) and tell us about it when you can - use this post until I manage to get up to speed enough to make another one.
Wishing you well for the next week ahead and remember the aim of the month's challenges is that most can be adapted to fit what you need so if it says a 'flat surface', any type of flat surface will do - desks, worktops, floors, tables and so on. Similarly a vertical surface could be a window, a tiled wall, mirror or door. Part of the challenge is deciding how to apply the daily challenge (ha ha!).
This is supposed to be a low-stress challenge - if you miss a day, it doesn't matter, if the day's challenge doesn't suit, repeat the day before or start on the next day's. With the exception of two days, the challenges should take about 10 minutes, if you want to spend longer that's great, judge by your personal available time and energy.
To make it easier to take part and not be held up by time differences and days when I'm not able to post, all challenges will be posted in the table below the cut to aid both those taking part and the daily poster.
My biggest request for the month is that, whenever you can, you join in the chat - even if you haven't done the day's challenge come and cheer for others. We're here for the ups and downs this month so you can tell us when you're struggling as well as celebrate your successes.
( Daily Challenge Table shown below the cut )
And so today's challenge is, depending on where/when you are reading this (but I'll go with the 17th/18th) to either spend 10 minutes on a flat surface or on a vertical one.
Good luck and enjoy what's left of your September.

I keep on running a plot bunny around in my head
and then concluding that the original canon version of the story
is the strongest
which is frustrating
because I want to get my teeth into it and,
I don't know,
shake like it's one of those dog toys with the smaller tougher toy inside
and am being frustrated by the overall quality of construction.

Critical Role
Two fandom-related posts in a row? Really? I can't even remember the last time that happened.
Critical Role has its fourth campaign starting in just over two weeks, and they posted the first artwork of the new characters earlier this week. They haven't released any other details like classes and such, but I'm very, very, very curious about several of them. Especially since they posted a video earlier today about character vibes, some of which sound kinda amazing.
The fandom is definitely ramping up again, which is helping with forcing my brain to get through watching as many of the specials that I've missed as I can before CR4 starts. I've missed having a proper weekly fandom, and I really want to try to get back in the habit of napping after work on Thursdays so that I can stay up late watching the new episodes live.
