I have been having excellent fun making many little honeycomb stamps. I love the interlocking of them, they feel so segmentable. I feel required to make a stamp for each little piece of my brain. Currently I can only remember video game pieces of my brain but I'll remember other stuff eventually.

Somehow, we managed to watch 2 seperate adaptions of Persuaion today, and a third yesterday (though it was the recent Netflix one and it left me slightly wincing whenever I paid attention to it). I watched just the ending of the first, the 1995 BBC adapation, and wished I had watched it from the beginning, it's quite lovely. The grumpy Captain Wentworth is particularly enjoyable.

The Persuaion I watched in it's entirety was the 2007 TV movie. Almost perfect casting, outside of a slightly less charismatic Wentworth (sorry). The costumes made me very happy; Bonnets Bonnets Bonnets! The camera shake did veer toward unintended comedy at some points. Falling off a small log has never felt so dramatic. But the most comedic thing of all is that this and the 1995 film used the exact same location for the young lady failing to be caught and hit her head. The exact same location. Same bridge. Same stairs. I suppose there isn't that much variety in coastal stairs near Bath, but still. Those stairs are very fall-offable.

27/03/2026 - Beginning (and The Martian)

I am become blog! Destroyer of blogs!

I am beginning a blog so that I may remember what is happening each day instead of having it wash over me like a fine mist lol. And also I want to get into the habit of writing, at least enough writing so that I can have a few sentences without feeling cringe about it.

Today I watched The Martian. I had watched the beginning some other time without finishing it somehow, but I finally finished watching it this time. Potatos out of 10. I have no idea what is or isn't plausible in a semi-realistic sci-fi film like this, I typically enjoy more silly billy space stuff, but still jood film.
