1. What's your favourite TV network? Does Netflix/Amazon Prime count?
2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be? I'd go to glaciers, and find four-poster beds and curtains throughout the world LOL
3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back? I really liked Impact: Stories of Survival..I've always been fascinated with survival stories..
4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show? Arrested Development
5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD? I'm still waiting to find Here Come the Brides haha..Bobby Sherman was so cool, I was sad to hear he died in June :(

I'm not sure why it took so long, but we finally got a picture of the bookstore's grand opening from last summer!

There's me, Amanda (the manager for like a month), Ron (a summer volunteer), Lucie, Adam (without a mask OR hat, an incredibly rare occurrence!), Shelby (huge scissors!), Bill, some guy from the Chamber of Commerce maybe, Jim (he finds vinyl records to sell in the store. They're super popular!), and Chris (a volunteer who usually shelves books). Yay! We did get a bunch of donations on Saturday, but most of them have been shelved already. It was really nice seeing new (to us) books again!

Yesterday at the bus stop a guy walked up, and then a lady walked over, who looked super drugged out (her teeth were definitely rotten D:), and the guy started yelling at her and calling her bad names (apparently it's her fault his hands were cold??). The lady came up to me and said "would you like to help me bury a dead body?" Ummm no thank you. O__o I was so happy when the bus finally drove up, I was so uncomfortable! I have made a couple friends though, two ladies who work next door at the Salvation Army. It's fun talking to them for the short ride and walk to work!

Here's the new Korean practice post! As usual now, it's an open chat.

You can write about whatever you want. If you're uninspired, tell us the story of what you're currently watching/reading/playing...
You can talk to one another.
You can also correct one another. Or just indicate "No corrections, please" in your comment if you prefer.

1. What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you? A house, trees
2. Who was the last person who came into your room? Besides myself, maybe mom?
3. What is the most predominant colour around you? White, with blue mixed in
4. What is right behind you? A pillow and a wall
5. What is on today's calendar sheet? I worked, and now I'm relaxing at my parents' house. How is it Friday already??

Curti put his front paws on one of my bedposts, which touched the lights I have around it (he chewed the cord, so they don't work anymore *sniff*), and they lit up for a second or two! It was really cool! That's definitely when you know it's dry in Fairbanks :P

Another big donation day tomorrow at the bookstore! I hope we get LOTS of cool "new" books, everyone's beyond tired of looking at the ones that have been on the shelf since we moved haha. On Halloween, a kid recognized me from the bookstore, and a regular customer came in today and said one of her kids recognized me..I was like "that was your kid??" I was busy handing out candy and didn't get a good look at her. Her mom said one of her relatives lives on a nearby street, how cool! Definitely a small big state :P

In The In-Between Bookstore by Edward Underhill, Darby, a trans man, goes back to his hometown and meets his younger self in the local bookshop.

It was a good premise, but it would have worked much better as a novella. The protagonist spends too much time not understanding obvious things.

Darby is also bisexual, and there's some f/f.

Now You See Me 3 was delightful! A great team-up movie.

It feels weird to watch Rosamund Pike play a villain after 3 seasons of The Wheel of Time. XD

Everyday Aliens by Polenth Blake

Everyday Aliens by Polenth Blake was absolutely brilliant! It's a collection of sci-fi short stories, sometimes interconnected, about aliens that are completely different from humans.

These stories are very experimental, told from the aliens' strange POVs. Sometimes, they're easy to understand. Other times, they're not, so you just go with the flow, like you're reading poetry. This made me think of Bogi Takács's writing (I actually heard of this book on Bogi's Bluesky).

At the end of the book, you will find a list of everyday Earthlings, like dandelions and tardigrades, that inspired the author.

There are many non-binary characters, often with neo-pronouns.
