These questions were originally suggested by akarii.

1. What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you?
The closest is dull, the other one is a view of the back yard and is much more agreeable.

2. Who was the last person coming into your room?
Me, always me.

3. What is the most predominant colour around you?
The walls are dull white, but the blanket is dark blue with roses and Eiffel Towers on it.

4. What is right behind you?
A headboard and a window with a chewed up blind.

5. What is on today's calendar sheet?
I’ve cleaned the litter boxes, vacuumed, paid bills and mailed them. The rest of the day is waiting for the PBS shows. Sunday mysteries, yay!

Kielbasa, apples (Lucy Glo, Calville Blanc D'hiver, Bramley Seedling), 2 heads of garlic, a tiny cipollini onion (given gratis to get me to try them from the apple farmers), gingerdoodle cookies, dark chocolate walnut cookies, a baguette, also picked up a friend's CSA box as they were out of town: a slicer tomato, a butterkin squash, gold potatoes, a small head of broccoli, broccolini, turnips with their greens, bok choy, red beets (without their greens), 2 yellow onions, and a head of red cabbage about the size of a grapefruit.

I'll make a toasted caprese sandwich, braise the kielbasa with the apples and cabbage, maybe make Korean spicy pork with the bok choy and broccoli, maybe roast the turnips and make soup.

I don't get a CSA box because it is too much vegetable for me to eat in a week. Even if I split a box with other people, that's still a lot of vegetables coming at you ever week.

I went to see a Halloween-themed Looney Tunes shorts program after the market, and then the new Frankenstein (which is very good and also very Romantic in the Romanticism movement sense of the word).

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

It's Autumn, right? Well, I have an important question. WHERE are the persimmons? I mean, where!

I was going absolutely insane, trying to figure out which of my 50-odd tabs was playing holiday music. Nothing showed up on the tab list. Finally I hit command-option-escape, to list what was open, and discovered that the very nice holiday advent calendar a friend sent me had decided to serenade me. I shut it down; sanity restored.

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

I am so happy you're willing to write a story for me!

Here are a few notes on the universes, and DNWs: behind cut )

Thank you so much, and I hope you have a very happy Yuletide yourself.

Gingerdoodle cookies, dark chocolate walnut cookies, a baguette, mozzarella, slicing tomatoes, hardy kiwi fruit, pint of pickled red onion, pint of horseradish dill pickles, shisho-orange mint lemonade, lavender-lemon verbena lemonade sour packs, 4 lbs of golden potatoes, 3 heads of garlic, Lucy Glo apples, Spitzenburg apples, shishito peppers, bacon-gruyere wheel, and a lemon tart.

Also, the local No Kings rally was along the street at the market -- there were 3 inflatable shark costumes, 2 unicorns, at least 2 guys in tricorn hats (one was in a complete outfit, probably a RevWar re-enactor). Cars driving by kept honking in support.

I was wearing my magnolia shirt from Morning Witch, my green canvas jacket, flared jeans, and fake snakeskin shoes. I got a number of compliments.

I felt the need for retailing lately. I bought two new couch covers for the couch the cats have made an eyesore. I couldn’t find another spring green one (the cats tore the one I had), probably because of tariffs. I bought a pink one which complements the curtains. If I get tired of being posh, I have one that is like a tiedyed with circles of vibrant colors, so garish, I love it. If the cats scratch these, and I’m going to discourage that, I will patch them. I can’t be new slipcovering all the time.

I got the ginger snaps I ordered from Philly and, oh, alright, I bought some hard to find Tastikakes, too. It’s beautiful weather now but this weekend, there’ll be more rain, I’ll have cookies and coffee and tv. I’m snacked up.

The tree I see outside my back window that was in full Fall foliage, glowing deep red and orange, suffered during a recent hard shower. Lost most of its leaves and now looks very forlorn. Know how you feel, bud.

I also bought some new sheets. I wanted to replace an old one that was just too small for the mattress and would keep popping off it. Most every day I’d have to wrestle it back on. I got a sheet that’s a deep rose color and I love it. And some patterned ones that don’t look as good as the photo of them, and there’s a top sheet I don’t need. Maybe I’ll make curtains from it to replace the window blinds the cats have severely injured.
