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 i
has to do with my sleeping disorder. I do recall rememberan
in the past. Anything recent is usually more of a feeling t
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-pa
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 yo
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 o
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.
