Name: amber.

Age: 35.


I mostly post about: CHANNING TATUM (who is my husband), fannish things, mostly art and fic.


My hobbies are: drawing, writing, graphic making... i'm one of them "artsy" types.


My fandoms are: honestly? a little bit of this, a little bit of that. REALLY into jupiter ascending and the kray twins atm (what a combination!), anime/manga/comics/cartoons...


I'm looking to meet people who: deffo don't mind fandom spams and top quality yapping.


My posting schedule tends to be: WHENEVER I CAN. this thing called a "job" eats up most of my free time.


When I add people, my dealbreakers are: any flavor of homophobia. i am VERY bisexual, and my fandom tastes lean toward m/m.


Before adding me, you should know: PLEASE don't judge the empty journal. i'm only just starting to get the posting groove back... ;3;

This poem is spillover from the August 6, 2024 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from [personal profile] fuzzyred, [personal profile] helgatwb, [personal profile] rix_scaedu, and [personal profile] wyld_dandelyon. It also fills the "books" square in my 8-1-24 card for the Discworld Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with [personal profile] fuzzyred and [personal profile] janetmiles. It belongs to the Shiv thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.

Warning: Most of this poem is upbeat, but it does touch on some past issues of educational abuse.

...with more modern eyes. In this case, as I am still on my Batman kick, this means the 1989 BATMAN movie, which I saw on original release in theaters (and loved).

Do I still love it? More than I expected, to be honest. )

kaffy_r: Second shot of Ateez members (Eight Makes One Team)
[personal profile] kaffy_r
Bread Worked Out. Plus 2024 Ateez Coachella Performances Located

Yes, I am but a tiny speck on this globe, and my successes and failures are as unimportant as can possibly be imagined. Still, one takes one's victories where one can find them, she said pretentiously. 

First the bread. I went back to a Kitchen Aid recipe for two loaves of white bread. I'd previously had minimal success with it, but I wasn't going to fool around with a completely new recipe, and potentially lose more ingredients, a la yesterday's whole wheat bread failure (I'm not going to call it a debacle, because I've learned from it.) 

I was pleasantly surprised, to put it mildly. I paid a great deal of attention to the heat of the liquid into which I was supposed to put the dry yeast, and I'm embarrassed to say that was something I previously failed to do well. And surprise! The bread came together and rose beautifully, not just during the first rise, but during the final rise. They're now out of the oven and they look spectacularly ordinary, which was what I was aiming for. Huzzah!

The second bit of success was within the field of my latest obsession, the KPop group called Ateez. Like SKZ, they have eight members, and they debuted just a bit later (Oct. 24, 2018) than Stray Kids (March 25, 2018). The two groups are very friendly, despite working under different entertainment agencies. 

Ateez songs, choreography, and lore differ noticeably from SKZ; to my ears, they're just a hair rougher than their oppas. Both groups have labored under peoples' view of them as noisy, and I think that's one of the reasons they appreciate each other. But I digress. I was trying to find videos of one or both weekends they performed at Coachella 2024. It was difficult, but the KPop subreddit came to my rescue. And since Bob agreed to watch one of the performances with me, I now have something to show him. Again - huzzah!

George Floyd

It's been five years since George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin. Little has changed, except to get worse. 

The racist rot runs deep in this country - arguably it's one of the rotten support beams holding the United States up. Perhaps we can change that, and create support beams that partake of justice, but these days I'm not overly optimistic. 

I remember George Floyd. I mourn him, at least in that way that a strange white woman can mourn him. I hope other strange white women, and white men, and others who aren't Black Americans can also mourn. And perhaps starting working for something better.

Reading. Bridget Collins, Feather (lalaietha), Jenny Lawson )

Listening. More Hidden Almanac, including First Appearance of Pastor Drom; slightly grumpy with myself for dozing through a chunk of it (to a greater extent than I realised; I did get snippets, but missed more than was apparent at the time) and am steeling myself to relisten.

Cooking. More from East: aubergine katsu curry with pickled radish (meh on my part, but A liked it), roasted carrots and cabbage with gochujang (meh on A's part, but I liked it enough to nibble at it between meals even though I'm unlikely to make it again), asparagus and mangetout with chilli peanut crumb (not actually worth spending in-season asparagus on outside the Cook Everything In This Book project, but pleasing given that context).

Eating. WILD ASPARAGUS is I think the most exciting thing I have eaten this week.

I have been Disappointed by Wagamama. Much less disappointingly, I have been plied with blueberries and yoghurt. Finished the hazel-bay-rye-and-rhubarb cake; have made some progress on the birthday cake I got sent home with.

Exploring. I am currently Away From Home. There are postbox toppers. One of them is Many Round Hedgehogs; another is Sea Creatures including Mollusc. I am sort of curious about who else I might spot in the area.

Making & mending.

Growing. ... I did not get cucumbers started. I did get some more squash into the ground (well, raised beds), and planted out a bunch of tomatoes, and at least two kinds of pea are now flowering, and I will be mildly resentful if I get home and discover all the strawberries have been eaten.

Did I mention that my established rocket remains established? I was a little concerned that I'd buried it under too much manure, and then it showed up in the next bed over.

Observing. BABY WOODPECKER.
