New Media
I haven't watched anything new yet other than Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, but I'm thinking of giving Warrior Nuns a try. I did give the pilot of Cursed a try, but I really didn't like it, so I didn't watch further.

Also I haven't found a single fanfic so far I'd be interested in reading... though maybe I will once I get further in canon.

(Anonymous) 2020-08-12 04:28 am (UTC)(link)It's not my job or anything, but I like crows and seeing them suffer and die and not knowing what's wrong or how to help and having to bag up the poor dead ones and put them in the dumpster is really getting me down.
We have a fake pond and stream on our patio at work and for the last week crows have been dropping dead in and around it. Other birds come for water and are fine so it's probably not something in the water. It could be West Nile, or someone leaving poisoned food out for crows, or crows eating poisoned food/bait left for something else.
I called and emailed the local wildlife rescue, but the sick ones can still fly so they can't catch them, and the dead ones are beyond help. The county health guys that liaise with the state CDC took one corpse for testing, but the ones from yesterday had probably been dead all weekend and couldn't be tested.
I know with COVID and everything being freaked out and sad because of dead crows is kind of stupid. I am gonna bring some boiled eggs to feed any healthy ones tomorrow anyway.
I spent the morning doing yard work, figuring out the layout for raised beds. I did a pile of dishes, prepped some lunch for work tomorrow, put my new screen door in, and napped. Gonna take a shower and go to bed.
I feel a bit better, but I hope no one has to bag up any more dead birds tomorrow. I would feel better if we could get a live one to the wildlife rehab folks and see if they can figure out what's going on/how to help.

(Anonymous) 2020-08-12 09:28 am (UTC)(link)It might sound cruel but I'd advise you not to feed the crows. As scavengers they will learn from previous mistakes. They'll eat anything, but they're smart. They don't need your help, and aiding their population is actually harmful to most other species of birds as they'll often prey on their eggs, and offspring.

(Anonymous) 2020-08-12 08:36 am (UTC)(link)Like, yeah- must be a surprise to you, but things are kinda shitty at the moment, after all we lost after over five hours of continuous play. Can I go to bed now??
Props to TB though, it was anyones game from the beginning let alone the fifth fucking overtime! My teams always been Toronto though, so even this can't beat their three goal's in the last three mins + overtime win from the other day~!

(Anonymous) 2020-08-12 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)Everyone was quiet like ._. and the managers said "...the answer is still no, please can you leave."
So the guy ranted some more but pretty much left about a minute later. And that was the most eventful part of my day.
Any odd stories you want to tell?
(Anonymous) 2020-08-12 09:12 am (UTC)(link)After coming across a Waffle House fic based on a r/relationship advice post, I have not stopped thinking about the possibilities my chosen OTP would have surrounding it. Like I'm thinking 200,000+ words amount of garbage. Every interpretation included.
Worst part is- I don't actually know how to write shit, so I'm left with a migraine of potential with no place left to put it...
Re: Any odd stories you want to tell?
(Anonymous) 2020-08-12 10:42 am (UTC)(link)I have a long fic i'be been writing for over a decade. It's mutated three times and i'm still nowhere near finishing it. I think it's because I can't find a happy ending for them and I have no one to talk it over with.
Re: Any odd stories you want to tell?
Even skilled writers will usually do a rough 'first draft' and then polish it with subsequent drafts so, like, you can combine your learning to write process with the polishing process.

(Anonymous) 2020-08-12 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)Sorry, that's all I have to add! Um, I think you should write your long Waffle House OTP garbage fic anyway! :)
