Something angsty and something sweet
Shine episode 7
Yeah, this is what I expected. 😢
First Victor’s death, which I expected since his family started talking about moving to America. And then Veera, which I absolutely didn’t expect. And that death hit even harder than Victor’s. Veera was loyal till the end to Dhevi and Krailert. And paid such a horrible price for it.
And of course the army knows about Krailert and Naran. Krailert was taking such big risks, teasing Naran in public places. They are done, of course, their relationship can never recover from everything that happened. I just wonder if it will end with Krailer’s death, too.
Tanwa and Trin – I don’t know if they can repair their relationship. Maybe. If Victor didn’t die, then sure, but with Victor dead Trin will forever blame himself for not being there. I don’t know if he can forgive Tanwa, even if Tanwa did it out of love and because he wanted to keep Trin safe.
The Nameless Season
I also wanted to recommend a bit of sweetness and fluff in the form of this short Korean BL drama – 6 episodes, each is 10-13 minutes long. It’s made by GND, which is a studio that also made My Damn Business, which I loved so much.
Here is the official playlist on Youtube.
It’s a cute and simple friends-to-lovers romance between two boys who met in high school, clearly caught feelings then, but they never talked about it or did anything about it, until they were both at the university. It is a simple story, but it’s well acted and the leads have great chemistry. I enjoyed it a lot and it made my heart all warm. 😊
But I would also recommend, before watching The Nameless Season, watching the first two episodes of a short BL called Close To You that GND made around 5 months ago. It consists of four love stories with different moods and with different endings. They story of characters from the first two episodes got expanded into The Nameless Season.
Close to You playlist is here.
I’m just going to warn you that one of these short stories from Close To You has a very sad ending. So be prepared for a bit of heartbreak if you decide to watch all of it.
Yeah, this is what I expected. 😢
Major spoilers here.
They started this episode with a ridiculous and OTT scene with Victor rallying his friends to help him beat Tanwa up, because he’s jealous of Trin. And I instantly thought ‘uh oh they start with silly humor, so the rest of the episode will be an angfest of epic proportions’. And it was. Damn.First Victor’s death, which I expected since his family started talking about moving to America. And then Veera, which I absolutely didn’t expect. And that death hit even harder than Victor’s. Veera was loyal till the end to Dhevi and Krailert. And paid such a horrible price for it.

I'm grumpy because one of my clients just sent me a ginormous assignment. My favorite method of making money involves glancing down at the ground & picking up that $50,000-bill nobody else has noticed, not laboring over a keyboard.
However, I should be grateful since the U.S. is clearly in a recession, even if they haven't called it yet. Time to start stuffing money into that mattress! Although that dollar bill you stuff into your mattress today will only be worth 90¢ next week.
Recession plus inflation—just about the most horrible economic formula you can possibly imagine.
I'm cheering myself up by thinking thoughts like, Well, it's really not going to affect me! I'll be dead soon!
Which when you get right down to it is not a particularly cheerful thought.

Meanwhile, Adrienne had chided me—deservedly—for not updating the Shawangunk Dems' website for months & months & months, so I spent yesterday morning working on that.
Then Ichabod called & chided me for my insufficiently progressive views on the racial divide. Yes, I do believe in color blindness—say it loud & say it proud!—and you're gonna have to reset the starting marker for history at some point else the current (completely unacceptable) situation is just gonna go on & on & on. So why not do it now?
Then I trotted off to the Shawangunk Dems' monthly meeting where I learned that Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill cut all Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. Not just for abortions! But also for birth control and Pap smears. And this made me very upset indeed. There's not a single thing I can do about it, though.
In the evening, I watched a documentary about Charlie Sheen who ingested more drugs than any other single person on the planet, & I decided—Work in Progress alert!—to borrow his crack cocaine habit & give it to Flavia, since that's an ongoing motiff in the Work in Progress: Neal is gonna save each of the sister wives from some incipient doom. Flavia's doom will be drugs, Daria's doom will be some mountain hike, but I still haven't figured out what Grazia's doom is, and I need to come up with it before I can start Chapter 3.

CDrama Parody: Dream Within a Dream
I ran across AvenueX recommending A Dream Within a Dream, and watched its first ep. It's a transmigration parody of Chinese costume romance dramas.
Hilariously, I had *just the day before* watched Love Like The Galaxy episode 6, which contained a "rescue the damsel from a fire" scene.
Compare:
( screenshots from both shows )
It's virtually identical down to her dress. :D
I can't say I'm enjoying Love Like The Galaxy so far (12 eps in, of 56!), but that first ep of Dream Within a Dream (of 40 total) definitely made me laugh. I'll probably check out more of that.

inspiration from the archives: organizing papers
I'm a grad student and I read best on paper whenever possible. That means I have a lot of paper around my apartment. I need to hold onto it because I'm taking notes and working towards writing my thesis. So what to do so I can find what I need, what I need it? a hybrid paper-digital system inspired by the Kerlan Collection archives, where I've visited a few times.
Each item is logged in my research bookmarks with tags and notes and the location is listed as "Box X: Folder X." I also mark that on the first page of each article so I know where to put it when I find it. (I also date when I read it digitally and on the paper. My goal eventually is to digitize my highlights and notes but I haven't had time yet.)
I haven't applied this to my other papers (apartment paperwork, pet paperwork, copies of bills and taxes paid, and so on) but I don't see any reason this hybrid digital-analog system wouldn't work for any kind of paperwork.
This is the system I'm using for my grad studies and I thought it might help others uncluttering, especially with that stuff you have to hold onto in print for whatever reason.
