Small Human Female

I'm just a gal doing some stuff. Likes reading stuff, eating stuff, making stuff, Korean stuff, Doctor Who stuff, Godzilla stuff.

What #cake do the #Blakes7 characters prefer?
Blake refuses to eat anything as trivial as cake while there are oppressed persons in the galaxy. Eats fruit instead, but you know who's been taking the leftovers at night...

I read a book. It was archaic

Do not accept medical advice from these individuals.
Do not attempt to identify plants using this book.
Yikes

I read a book. It was interesting
Try Not To Be Strange - the curious history of the kingdom of Redonda.
Michael Kingston, 2022

The author becomes mildly obsessed with unraveling the facts behind an island in the Carribbean, and all the people who have claimed to be it's king

I read a book. It was alright

Bryant & May and the Memory of Blood. Christopher Fowler, 2012.
The story was good, but I didn't warm to any of the main characters. I'd probably read more, but I wouldn't *buy* any more

Film Club
Six String Samurai (1998)

@timstretton Is he still speaking to you?

[Small Human Female @esmesstuff]

Film Club: The Great Godzilla Rewatch
Son of Godzilla (1967)

Research scientists are trapped on an island with giant mantis, a giant spider and baby Godzilla (aka Minilla) one of the most hideous creatures ever to appear on-screen

[Small Human Female @esmesstuff]

I read a cookbook. It was good
Gorgeous Desserts. Annie Bell, 2007

From traditional puddings to sophisticated fruity little numbers .
Makes me feel like entertaining again

[Small Human Female @esmesstuff]

I read a book. It was mostly good
Deadly Dolls. Various, 2024

A British Library collection of creepy doll stories. Most of them were good, except the first one (by Hoffman) which was convoluted boringness.
Good selection of old and new writers

@Greebohobbes It's a syndicate

[Small Human Female @esmesstuff]

Film Club
The Company of Wolves (1984)

Gothic/sexual awakening/werewolf horror retelling of little red riding hood, by Angela Carter.
I used to love this when I was a teenager, but I hadn't seen it since then. It's still good, but perhaps not as good as I remembered.

[Coffin Boffin @DrSamGeorge1]

RABBIT UNDERTAKERS The Adventures of Pinocchio is darker than you might think. When Pinocchio refuses to take his medicine the Blue Fairy summons a group of black #rabbits as undertakers to carry him off! 🎨Charles Copeland illustrations to the 1904 edition #FolkloreSunday

Film Club
Wizards (1977)
Well, that was a thing 👀
Set on a post apocalyptic earth. This fantasy animation is kinda like a camp LOTR, with er...Nazis, guns and, um...fairy nipples

[Small Human Female @esmesstuff]

I read a book. It was utterly brilliant
Tory Heaven. Marghantia Laski, 1948

A satire on politics and class, Laski shows us an alternative postwar UK where the Tories have taken control and instituted a rigid class system, scarily like the Britain envisaged by Reform

[Small Human Female @esmesstuff]

I read a book. It was good
Botanical Curses and Poisons, Fen Inkwright 2021
An alphabetical collection of plants from around the world that are poisonous, or otherwise have interesting folklore associated with them.

Film Club
Heavy Metal (1981)
Animated anthology based on the comic book. Cool animations and soundtrack. You can really see the influence it had on The Fifth Element.
However, the big bouncing boobies are a bit embarrassing

[British Crisps @CrispsOfBritain]

As a country, we really started going downhill when we stopped making stuff like this.
