This is strangely meditative to have in the background on a quiet Saturday morning: https://t.co/PPyn2b7w0O

Never mind, it was apparently a church bell concert. But still cool

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

The church bells at the Johannes Church in Bergen are playing the Harry Potter theme today. Somehow this feels weirdly right

@nameshiv This was a roller-coaster from start to finish, never been so entertained by rice

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

The world's busiest week at work ended with fellowship of the ring on dvd, the company of a friend of the good, old, comfortable and snarky sort, and plenty of chocolate. Life's good

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

On a more positive note, I really really want to learn needlework lace making. Because I needed yet another very time-consuming hobby, I suppose (or maybe I'm just too easily influenced!)

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

Here's to hoping my doctor figures something out from today's tests...

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

I've got several new and wonderful dances I'm dying to practice, and instead I'm exhausted after a short trip to the grocery store. Wonderful timing, body, absolutely splendid

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

@ArkReynes Those are the most fun ones to write though ;)

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

It's probably sacrilegious to put coffee in a container clearly labelled "finest tea blend" but it's a nice box and I have no shame. Another way to confuse house guests maybe?

Even if you're not into costuming/cosplay/historical garments whatsoever, everyone should watch this CoCoVid livestream on inclusion in the costuming community: https://t.co/yVNvjNYC4c

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

Really really want to make a swishy swooshy skirt. A few problems: 1. I don't have a sewing machine and can't use one, 2. Never sewn a garment before, 3. Can't afford the right fabric, and 4. Can't find the right pattern. So let's forge right ahead!

Despite cooing over fluffy cats and cuddly dogs, evidence suggests that my favourite animal might actually be goats. Get everywhere they shouldn't, eat everything, inquisitive, noisy, slightly odd, cute yet amply able to cause pain if crossed (and they know it!).

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

Been binging CosTube-livestreams this weekend. Current favourite (and I'm only twelve minutes in) is this one: https://t.co/Fh3KadSyMT

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

So I can now tell you that Taldûni is exactly 478540km2 (119635 square pixels) big and I'm sitting here barely able to contain my enthusiasm for something that's just kind of boring

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

New discovery: Did you know that Photoshop has a function to calculate an area automatically? Stuff got SO much easier! Because I do in fact absolutely need to know the exact size of each of my fictional countries #mapmaking #amworldbuilding

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

After ten minutes of worldbuilding an empire has now changed size and moved, moving three other countries and a mountain range in the process. Now I have to redo all my nifty charts over exact size, population density and the like. Yay, more work

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

Just discovered this gem of a video: https://t.co/rrMJQvALZ9 I love ancient Egypt but I love this type of videos even more

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

Not to mention the one that is Not! Like! Other! Programs! - but is really exactly the same but with lots of extra steps. I tried it while recovering from a burnout and that was by far not the best idea I've had

[Cat S. @Ciuva]

Weight loss program ads: "Oh, it's not a DIET, oh no, it's a lifestyle change, these things take time." Same ad: "I lost THIS much weight in only (ridiculously low number) weeks!!" ...Riiight. Not conflicting messages at all there
