Maybe not directly comics-related, but I posted scans of a Predator comic only a few days ago, so I reckon it counts. This movie looks pretty fun to me, so far!

Sixth prompt time! The [community profile] sunshine_revival team has been providing some different topics to ruminate on.

Looks like there's also a new writing community at [community profile] fan_writers and some of my older December Days posts appeared as writing meta, so hello to anyone new poking around.

Let's get to the prompt.

It’s game night! Whether for you that means getting together with a group of friends or a quiet evening chilling out on your own with video games, this is where you get to tell us all about it. If you have a favourite game, tell us what you love about it.

Challenge #6:

Journaling prompt: What games do you play, if any? Are you a solo-gamer or do you view games as a social activity?

Creative prompt: Write a story/fic around the theme "game night".


What games do we play? Many. )

Eric Tsang and Kenny Bee Issue Apologies for Photo with Controversial Rapper Namawee

Hong Kong stars Eric Tsang and Kenny Bee are currently in hot water in China after a photo of them with controversial Malaysian rapper Namawee went viral. Responding to the resulting uproar over being seen with the allegedly “anti-China” singer, both actors have released statements. They emphasised that they posed for the photo out of courtesy and that it had no reflection on their political stance whatsoever.

In his statement, Kenny Bee clarified he had no intentions of offending anyone whilst Eric said that as a Chinese person, the country’s dignity and sentiments was of utmost importance. “This incident was simply an unintentional mistake. It doesn’t mean that I support or agree with the (political) views of that person.” He also added that had he known about Namawee’s controversial background in advance, he would’ve avoided him altogether.

Both Eric and Kenny Bee were in Genting, Malaysia to attend an event where photos of them posing with the Malaysian rapper soon made the rounds online. Namawee himself had posted the photo on social media as he wished them good luck on their performance. This resulted in a huge public backlash for the two who promptly issued statements to clarify the situation.

In 2021, Namawee was banned on Chinese social media for his song “Fragile” which he released with Taiwan-based Australian singer Kimberley Chen. Whilst the song, which was sung in Mandarin, sounded like a sweet love song, its satirical lyrics were deemed by the mainland as “anti-Chinese”. Given the recent developments, it appears Namawee has decided to choose this time to promote another satirical song of his titled, “Letter of Apology,” which he shared on Facebook.

Book 68 of 2025: Mozzarella Murder (A Rolling Dough Pizza Truck Mystery) (R.M. Murphy)

This book was pretty good. spoilers )

I enjoyed this book well enough, but I don’t think I’ll be continuing the series. I’m giving this book four hearts.

I did a load of laundry (washed, dried AND hung up!), hand-washed dishes, and scooped kitty litter before heading to mom’s ~10am. I stayed until my usual time of ~3pm. I washed, dried and folded (I can’t emphasize enough how big a deal it is that I managed to get a load dried and folded!) another load of laundry, hand-washed more dishes, and showered after I got home.

Supper was *drum roll* BBQ chicken quarters!! When I stopped to get the pulled pork yesterday, I had asked about the chicken bbq they held pretty regularly and was told next Friday, so Pip and I decided that's what we'd have for supper next Friday. Somehow I must have jinxed us, because Pip's buddy showed up with more BBQ chicken quarters yesterday, lol! So we're having chicken this weekend. Not sure if that means it's off the table for next Friday. o_O

I watched the second ep of Strange New Worlds and an HGTV program, and finished the Rivers of London book.

Temps started out at 69.8(F) and reached 92 (according to Pip; it was already over 80 when I left the house mid-morning, so it’s very possible). We had some very short bursts of rain; not enough to do more than wet things pretty good.


Mom Update:

Mom was feeling better today. more back here )

Word use question

I have another 'who is this regionalised to' question. I use 'pike' as a verb to mean 'cancel on a social event'. Youngest has learned this from me, but tells me that none of their friends recognise it. Many of their friends are immigrants or children of immigrants, but not all, so you'd think at least the Skips would know it.

So: do you use it? Do you consider it to be a normal regional word?

(I am out of time, so no poll to find out the frequency of use)

Challenge #6

Journaling prompt: What games do you play, if any? Are you a solo-gamer or do you view games as a social activity?


Ohoho, this prompt is a bat to a hornets nest!
I am indeed very much a person who enjoys video games. I play with my sibling when possible, and solo otherwise.

All the big series by Nintendo are in my selection: Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Pikmin. I hold a special love for Fire Emblem and also play similar strategy games, such as XCOM and Disgaea. In fact, I can't wait to replay XCOM 2 on the switch 2!

My favourite game of all time is a Zelda title, Majora's Mask. I've made this post about it earlier this year. :D

1. We got fancy bagels for breakfast again. This time managed to get up to the shop around nine or so, so there was hardly any crowd yet.

2. I thought the limited edition chamoy Kettle Chips were all sold out for good as we hadn't seen them in a while, but they got restocked, so we snagged another couple bags.

3. Chloe is such a cutie.
