This year [community profile] sunshine_revival is picking up where [community profile] sunshine_challenge left off. Yay! Anyone is welcome to participate with no sign-ups or obligations. There's also a friending meme!
Challenge #1
Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.
Creative Prompt: Shine a light on your own creativity. Create anything you want (an image, an icon, a story, a poem, or a craft) and share it with your community.
In terms of journaling, the goals question is an easy one. This year I've been aiming for posting one book review and one game review per week. I already know what July's books will be and three of those reviews are already written. I like to have a backlog so weeks don't sneak up on me and become a scramble. By my standards I'm a little behind on games (only this week's post is ready to go! gasp!) and I'm not sure yet what the other games will be. I want to do some more retro titles since I've been leaning towards modern games lately. So one July goal is to play some old games and/or finish the ones I'm in the middle of. And to figure out what I'm reading/playing for August.

That said, hitting the second half of the year always sets off my fears that I'm not doing or accomplishing "enough," whatever that means, and this year I'm trying to counter that by actively choosing to do a little less this summer and give myself a break. Just because my job is less busy in the summer doesn't mean I need to fill up all the time with more activities! I've temporarily stepped back from a few things, which is really hard for me to do because it messes with the part of my anxiety that takes the form of Must Always Show Up And Never Miss Anything. But of course it is not actually possible to always show up for everything, and never resting leads to burnout. I know that, and I'm trying to be better about acting on it.

And on that note, I'm skipping the creative prompt. Not that the mods have in any way suggested that people should or must do both prompts! I'm just patting myself on the back for not trying to overachieve. :D

been a member of the site for decades by now, have a ton of files that has lost its .torrent over the years.
Wrote myself a pythonscript so far to filter my files, query imdb to get the imdbID, query torrentleech the idmbID and return a json (without html, just raw json). Next step is to query this list for the ${torrent_id}#torrent-files-panel to return an exact match of the files i have, vs the ones on torrentleech so that the seeding can begin. However i cannot find a neat way to return this without parsing the whole html which seems overkill. Anyone know of a way to return a file list only from a torrent/file id from torrentleech?

It doesn't matter how many new tv shows or movies I watch I always catch myself going back to the same comfort ones when I just can't find anything else to watch or when I need some background noise while i'm cooking my dinner or cleaning the dishes. It's one of them: office or Interstellar (completely different genre I know) but even tho I know what will happen next I'm still able to find great joy because of how good they were made. What’s your comfort movie? Curious what everyone’s go to is when you just wanna chill out.

First of all, relax! I'm far from being picky, and I can pretty much guarantee that I'll love whatever you decide to create for me. These are nothing but guidelines, for you to take to heart or ignore to your heart's content. Also, hey! You're writing me fic or drawing me art! That's automatically a good reason for me to love you, no matter what. So, please, keep that in mind. Trust me, you can pretty much do no wrong.

More details under the cut. )

It rained for three hours straight - thunderstorm, hail and torrential rain - and didn't cool done one bit. That shouldn't be allowed. And now we have all the heat and all the humidity, and ugh.

(Hi! I'm still here. Things are just very busy and I can't seem to find the time or energy for posting, much less keeping up with anything other than the [community profile] sid_guardian discussions ... I hope everyone's doing well, whether you're caught in this heat wave too or not.)

"Sophia, will you pose with your brother for a photo?"

"I will, but I'm very angry about it!"

Wot a saga, eh, wot a saga, first time I have ventured significantly forth these many years -

And to start with, MAJOR HEAT EVENT.

In anticipation, I had - or so I thought - prudently booked a taxi via taxiapp, with a certain amount of leeway, just in case -

- which turned out very prudent, as when I went to check the booking this morning the app was showing 'network error' and this was clearly on their end rather than mine, and a little looking about suggests that this is not their first rodeo server problem.

So when, at designated time, taxi cameth not, I set out towards the Tube, not without some hope that a black cab might pass me on my way, but that Was Not To Be -

And on reflection, I should perhaps have waited for a Bank train, because getting out on Charing X platforms at Euston involves rather too many stairs.

However, Avanti kindly texted me the approx time my train would be boarding, and this all seemed set - although my (1st class) seat was aisle, backwards, there was nobody in the other 3 seats so I switched -

HAH.

When we reached Coventry, choochoo sighed and gave up, and we had to debouch and take the next Birmingham bound train - which was delayed....

At Birmingham New Street had considerable faff trying to discover a Way Out that would take me to a taxi rank.

When I finally arrived at hotel booked by conference organisers there was an immense performance trying to find the right group booking, as it was not under any title that I might have thought of but that of some hireling booking agency.

However, I am now in nice cool room and have had tasty room service snack. Even if I have had to wrestle with getting my laptop to talk to the free wifi...

I think the first film is a masterpiece. One of Spielberg's greatest films of all time. Maybe not number 1 but top 5 if not 3. I watched it last year for the first time in years. I didn’t think it would be all that good anymore with how lifeless the series felt in the modern age. But no. It’s still an amazing movie that lives on its simplicity. Dinosaurs are brought back. At first it seems magical. Then it’s a nightmare.

And now with the seventh movie in the franchise coming out I’m feeling that same tired and apathetic feeling I felt before I re-experienced the original. This really feels like it was not meant to be a franchise. The first film is very simple and the minute you try to stretch it beyond that you lose the appeal. It’s not like Indiana Jones where you can have multiple adventures. That’s why we have Dial of Destiny a chance because a fifth movie could’ve worked. But with Jurassic I just can’t see it.

And I feel like with how lifeless the series feels now it’s easier and easier to forget how amazing the first one actually is. Which is why I’m not even bothering to see this one. I saw some reviews of it and that was enough for me to learn this wasn’t worth my time or money. We should listen to the ending of the first one and let these creatures stay gone and not try to bring them back because it never works.

Not sure how anyone else feels about this. For anyone who has actually seen it is there actually something in Rebirth that’s worth while?

Photograph with added text: Working Together, at Fancake. Workers in India use wide wooden paddles with long handles to shove a huge yard of drying grains into big piles. The grain, most likely rice, is a beautiful golden color, and there's a mix of western and traditional clothing among the seven men and women.

vysila: Jawa recycling -  decluttering (jawa recycling)
([personal profile] vysila posting in [community profile] unclutter Jul. 1st, 2025 10:47 am)
Not nearly as productive a decluttering month as May, but still got a few things done. Most of my efforts this month went toward managing a big project, the upstairs renovation. Still, made a bit of progress on the decluttering front.

• Sold my riding lawnmower to a neighbor. That was serendipitous. I had never planned on moving the mower (an icky lawnmower in with my furniture and clothing, ugh!) and will have a lawn service do the mowing until I move.
• Have amassed a small pile of things to go – the last of my Star Wars collectibles, some drapes & curtain rods, ignored new cat toys, unused office supplies – but haven’t actually gotten around to listing them as yet
• Also took a look around the basement and decided that all the leftover materials from various home improvement projects can also go, but again, have not done anything further than identify the items
• I have accumulated a lot of excess toiletries over time, so am currently trying to use them up. Have managed to clear out a couple of small bottles of things so far.

Will try selling things if possible, to recoup a little money, but if not, it will all get donated.

I registered a long time ago with an email I barely use anymore, worried that I might lose access to the email account due to inactivity. Can I change to my current email?
