The Fairy Garden (1)

[JinMay]

If my memory serves me correctly, it does have that day of the dead story as well.

Icy!



For some reason I have a visceral hatred for Crispers commercials
"OH look at us, we're not a chip or a cracker! How special! We aren't square either, oh how quirky!"
Like get off your high horse
You're not "neither" a chip or cracker, you're more just both, and even if you weren't, you're not special

I don't watch commercials anymore ...speed through them!

[galled]

+2 for commercial skip

[npixelz]

Well they're on YouTube so I can't always skip them



Anyway yesterday morning I took the wrong meds before bed, and had trouble falling asleep, only sleeping 7 hours

But last night, not only did I wake up on time, I also worked EXTREMELY well! Achieving what had taken me all night the previous night before first break last night, I slowed down a bit after because I was now doing parts I hadn't faced, but I still did really well!

Blocking ads > skipping

I don't have space on my computer for adblocker, and I want to support my subscriptions anyway

Ad blockers have helped me declutter some really atrociously covered sites. It can also block page elements, not just ads, so I can prevent a news site from autoplaying an annoying video overlay element.
Most essayists I follow on YT aren't even monetized since they talk about non-algorithm-friendly topics, so they have their own Ko-Fi or Patreon links up, which is usually a better option for supporting them than ad revenue.

Maybe you are onto something Npix! I'd let your Doctor know about the impact regarding the meds & time etc.

[npixelz]

I see!


Maybe! But it was probably a fluke, because by the end of second break I was extremely tired








I want to watch Nimona with my mom but she keeps saying no! ;-;
On the bright side, we might be seeing Dune 2 in theaters!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Npix, did you talk to your Mom about why she doesn't want to watch it? I hadn't heard of the Nimona movie before now & don't know anyone who has watched it. I often look at the reviews before I decide to watch a show.

I am looking forward to Dune 2. I own ALL the previous Dune movies. One day I will binge watch them all & compare.

[npixelz]

I asked! She said she doesn't know;-;


Movies? Plural?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh ya, DUNE has been remade several times.

[silverberry]

Iirc Dune is also a novel! Been really tempted to buy a copy, but I didn't like the movie version of the cover that's being sold right now.

[npixelz]

Oh icy!



I think I have the book!







Recently on workdays I get up on time, but on days off I sleep in way too late, idk why
