April 2023 five questions from christyotwisty:[1] | |
CoT: What is your most memorable recent dream? | |
xiled: Most memorable recent dream...I cannot recall any. Most of | |
the time these days, I do not remember my dreams. I think it | |
has to do with my sleeping disorder. I do recall rememberance | |
in the past. Anything recent is usually more of a feeling that | |
I have dreamt, but the recollection escapes me. | |
CoT: What instantly improves a sub-par day? | |
xiled: Having the presense of mind that the day sucks and knowing | |
that I can reboot at any moment helps me to improve a sub-par | |
day. If I can, I call, email, text, etc., a friend. If I | |
cannot, I pray about it and do the next indicated action. | |
CoT: Is there an uncommon, little-known, wellness or beauty hack you | |
use? | |
xiled: If my hair is out of sorts and I don't have time to fix my | |
hair like I usually do, I will put hand lotion in my hair | |
(unscented, if possible) and comb fingers through my hair | |
instead of the usual hair products. | |
CoT: What is something that feels embarrassing but shouldn't? | |
xiled: ... Making mistakes? It's how I learn. Nothing concrete | |
really comes to mind at the moment. | |
CoT: If you live in a small space, how do you responsibly discard or | |
recycle excess items? | |
xiled: Stop accumulating. Give items to friends or family. Donate | |
to Goodwill or other charities. | |
March 2023 Five Questions [2] (since I didn't get to answer them) | |
CoT: 1. If you were a potato chip (potato crisp, croustille), what | |
flavour would you be? | |
xiled: Potato chips made at home with Old Bay Seasoning or Red | |
Rooster Hot Sauce, since DIY. | |
CoT: 2. What's the most unusual way you've made a new friend? | |
xiled: *xiled queues, "We've Got Tonight," by Bob Seger* | |
I know it's late | |
I know you're weary | |
I know your plans don't include me | |
Still here we are | |
Both of us lonely | |
Longing for shelter from all that we see | |
Why should we worry? | |
No one will care girl | |
Look at the stars so far away... | |
CoT: 3. Tell me of a film, miniseries, play, or book wherein your | |
sympathies for the protagonist shifted to the antagonist. | |
What caused the sympathy shift? | |
xiled: The Walking Dead - when Negan went from evil guy to not so | |
evil remorseful, redemption guy. | |
NEGAN! NEGAN!! | |
CoT: 4. I wish to improve my Gopher phlog. I could justify the text, | |
or add RSS functionality, or add external links of interest. | |
What are your recommended resources for getting me beyond | |
the basics? | |
xiled: m0ar ASCII art! | |
Seriously, I think what is more important is the content | |
that is phosted. The rest is window dressing. | |
CoT: 5. What's an entree you prepare so well at home that you don't | |
order it at a restaurant? | |
xiled: Steel-cut oatmeal? Chili in the slow cooker? I'd still buy | |
at a restaurant since slow-cooked chili takes time. | |
