Until a heat wave hits here on Friday, we’re having a week of very nice weather in the Willamette Valley, with highs in the 70s and low 80s °F. On Sunday, the high temperature was 75°F. I had to run an errand in Tigard on Hwy 99W and decided to take the long way home. I hadn’t been on SW Bull Mountain Rd. in a very long time, so I decided to take it from 99W to SW Roy Rogers Rd. Then I took Roy Rogers Rd / SW 175th to SW Kemmer Rd and Cooper Mountain Nature Park. On a sunny and temperate day, the park is a nice place to look out over the Tualatin River Valley. Very pretty. I don’t come here often enough, even though the park is not far from my house.

I considered visiting Jenkins Estate, which is nearby, but I didn’t have enough time. I made a mental note to make a separate trip to Jenkins Estate before the summer ends.

Coming soon: Guardian Slo-Mo Rewatch

Zhao Yunlan sprawled on a couch, grinning at his phone. The background shows a purply sky with stars. Text reads "Slo-Mo Rewatch. Guardian - half an episode per week @ sid-guardian.dreamwidth.org."


Announcing the Guardian Slo-Mo Rewatch, coming to a [community profile] sid_guardian near you, starting 5 September. We'll be watching half an episode a week (about twenty minutes) so we can talk and squee about our beloved 镇魂 | Guardian drama.

For those who remember our last rewatch, this time we're aiming for a lighter touch. Posts will be on the minimalist side - a brief summary, one quote, one screencap, maybe one noteworthy detail and some discussion-starter questions.

We're looking forward to some fun discussions as we revisit Haixing, Dixing, and the SID.

Fans of the novel, the drama, or both are very welcome! You don't have to keep up with the rewatch – it's absolutely fine to dip in at any time. We want to hear what you think! Those of us who've just finished the Readalong or are otherwise familiar with the novel are likely to compare and contrast the two canons, but it's 100% okay to focus purely on the drama.

Please consider hosting a post or two, if you're willing and able to! Comment with a date from the schedule below! Posts should ideally be made sometime on the Friday or Saturday, in any time zone.

Schedule for round 1
Weekend of 5 September - episode 1 up to 22:28:
Weekend of 12 September - episode 1 from 22:28:
Weekend of 19 September - episode 2 up to 22:11:
Weekend of 26 September - episode 2 from 22:11:
Weekend of 3 October - episode 3 up to 23:25:
Weekend of 10 October - episode 3 from 23:25:
Weekend of 17 October - episode 4 up to 22:16:
Weekend of 24 October - episode 4 from 22.16:
Weekend of 31 October - episode 5 up to 23:04:
Weekend of 7 November - episode 5 from 23:04:

The library was interesting yesterday, I hung out and read for several hours, there was a very nice lady giving out free food for homeless people in front too. The only shitty thing was somebody clogged up the toilet and I had to go tell the librarian.

Home from Worldcon

I got home this morning (train from Seattle arrived around 8am, local buses got me to within half a block of home in another hour and a half). I'm feeling totally wrung out, so I'm not planning to be productive today. There's a relatively brief con report on my blog, including a slightly modified version of what would have been my Hugo acceptance speech (I changed the "win" bits to "finalist" bits) and a couple pictures. You can read it here: https://alpennia.com/blog/worldcon-wrap

I'd meant to get some sound editing for the podcast done on the train, but couldn't find a way to make Audible play through headphones rather than speakers, so that was a no-go. (The program has a selection menu for sound output, but I need to play with it to figure out what's wrong.) Instead, I managed to be productive by working on the lesbian history book. (I.e., converting existing material into book-version material.) I have most of the Introduction section revised at this point.

I have a week and a half and then it's my "official" celebrating retirement trip to New Zealand with Denise. That means I need to get two more podcast episodes uploaded. I also had to reschedule the Jury Duty notice that was waiting for me when I got home. And I won't be here to provide medical transport for my brother's cataract operation. But before I travel, I need to get the inspections sorted out for my solar system, including pulling retrospective permits for a couple of items that the city inspector asked about. (I've been assured that this will be trivial paperwork.) So I'm going to try not to add any other to-do items before the trip.

I've not been out this late since Gideon was born, but when my music-obsessive photographer friend Kenny told me I had to come see Fantastic Negrito at the Fringe I decided to make an exception.

The support band (Megan Black) was better than most support acts. The main act, on the other hand, is just, well, fantastic. Maybe even worth missing the kids bedtime for.

The impact of Formula 1's plan to drastically reduce its carbon emissions could have effects that spill over into more standard driving experiences. Here's why.

Walking nearly 10,000 steps once again loosens up the pesky hip flexors that plague me in the morning. Can't do it today with its lowering skies and forecast rain, so decide to vacuum and dust the front bedroom. After which I had to change all my clothes and probably should have showered as well because OMG the mug mug mug mug. This is that uncomfortable part of late August and September: too muggy for tshirts, too cool for tanktops, too cool for fans, too warm without them. Better than heat but still uncomfortable.

However this summer has certainly brought the hibiscus out all over the neighbourhood. Maybe we always had hibiscus and I just never noticed, or maybe the world decided that it would plant hibiscus whenever it got a chance. Whatever, my daily walks- when I walk- are accompanied by a riot of pinky purple.

Home and Heat

Well,l I hemmed and hawed, and even called in late, before deciding to stay home altogether. Considering I can barely breathe, I just don't think it would be a good idea to sit in that heat today.  My Ashma med didn't do much to help yesterday, so I don't have much faith it would today. My co-worker's mother has severe Ashma, and she ended up in the hospital yesterday. I'm not sure why it's so much worse right now since it's been hotter. Maybe the humidity?  Next week is supposed to be a bit cooler, but I really can't wait till fall.

Cue the neighbor across from me screaming bloody murder, yelling 'help me!' I legit thought she was ill or being attacked and literally had my phone in my hand dialing 911 when I heard her saying things like, "I have to go to work," and "fine, I don't care if you tear the place apart!" And slammed the door as she left -- then I realized she was yelling at the cat that hangs around here (which she happens to be feeding). Sounds like it's happened before, with unpleasant results. I have to be careful myself or he will run into my apartment when I open the door. Luckily, I always have my cane and can use it to shoo him away.
