Just read a tweet where someone said that they don't recall any character in sci-fi and fantasy wearing glasses for their eye sight apart from Harry Potter... Well... There's Daniel Jackson in Stargate, Viki Nelson in Blood Ties/The Blood Series (she's going blind due to a degenerative eye condition.) There's Geordi La Forge in Star Trek who is blind. If I recall correctly, both Giles and Wesley from Buffy/Angel

wear glasses.

There was a time when you used to be able to get designs from different cultures (such as Ancient Egypt ones) and wildlife from other countries, for example, but I have noticed a recent tendency for everything to be heavily British (or in the case of US mags like Just Cross Stitch, heavily white American based.) That's fine in itself, but it's sad if other influences are lost.

Last year, many magazine publishers stopped producing some craft mag titles - among them were some cross stitch magazines. Though it was sad to see those titles go, it isn't entirely a bad thing - one of the mags that I have been getting on and off since 1995 (my mum started getting them that year) had been getting very boring and formulaic in the designs they published in their mag - there were a lot of boring -

modern designs that covered the same themes constantly and weren't appealing to stitch. Now, a year on, the mag has started to become more interesting again because there are less places for designers to submit their pieces and less pages to fill so better designs are published. It's kind of like TV when satellite and digital came about in the '90s. Channels became crap because lots of boring and mediocre programmes

were made to fill in the extra time that broadcasting companies suddenly had. Hopefully, cross stitch will be revived and designs I like will be easier to come across again.

If there is one phrase that I've come to despise recently it is the 'new normal'. It's often used to describe the apocalyptic climate change/pollution/extinction/habitat destruction crisis that we are currently going through, and more recently, the pandemic. Last week a girl was murdered in our town and it's been used to describe how her family should cope with their loss. There is no 'new normal'...

It isn't adequate to describe what's happening to the planet, or to the pandemic and it certainly isn't adequate to describe the aftermath of loosing someone, regardless of the circumstances of the loss. Life is not 'normal' when there is someone missing from it. It never is, and never will be. That loss will always be there. In retrospect, life can only be considered 'normal' for a child that's yet to experience -

the loss of someone in their life as their parents and people who are older than them will have at some stage, experienced a loss.

Wish we could go away on Friday because the neighbours are going to have a football party. Hope it lags it down so we can at least get some peace and quiet.

I'm going to finish reading Battle Ground (aka, the rest of Peace Talks) and then start one of the Egyptian books I've got recently.

I have some new housing items in LOTRO that I'm going to place in Lofnheid's hobbit kinship house. I'll put up pics once it's complete.

Just finished a collage on my index...for now at least. So much work figuring out how to arrange everything, but I'm satisfied. Also, check out the tarot fortune I added :)

Almost finished Peace Talks. It's probably the first Dresden Files book that I have been disappointed in. It's great, when compared to other UF books. (There are some bad ones, out there) But I can't help but feel that it's missing something important. Too much recapping of what has gone on in previous books, too many characters making cameo appearances that seems to have no purpose, and shallow Diversity! in some

parts of the book that doesn't need to be there. It's also shorter than the last few books so it feels a bit rushed. Just hope that the next one is better.

bright-eyes 4 years ago

In retrospect, Peace Talks and Battlegrounds should be part of the same book, not separate. I've encountered that problem before with Kelley Armstrong's novels (The YA books would have been much better as single books, so that Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising are a single book each, instead of being six. The third series with Elena and Clay's kids in them, I've not bought yet but reviewers have said the same thing

bright-eyes 4 years ago

regarding those. It's a shame and reflects badly on the author, but more on the publisher as they are the ones who decide how the books are published. It's like the time we saw Amon Amarth and had a disappointing time because of the venue - a good band ruined by how it was presented and the same applies here. I hope this doesn't happen again in future.
