Dried cranberries, dried mango cut up, walnuts, and dark chocolate chips are an excellent trail mix to have on my desk while I work. Highly recommended.

Okay... I need to do actual Adult People Things like pay the bills and answer work emails. I was born to consume fiction not do accounting.

Theydies and Gentlefriends,

Please remember we are not wearing the expectations and demands of other people any more. That's not in style.

We are dressing to make ourselves happy. The haters can choke on your Jimmy Choos.

Love,

Liana

Finished #BlossomsInAdversity. Loved it. Would have loved 15 more minutes of the ending and watching people react to the big reveals (hi! the random beggar your family took in is now emperor!), but very good all around. Very cathartic.

#Cdrama #Spoilers

Starting the day with #BlossomsInAdversity so I can finish the last two episodes and not be distracted later. This is honestly why I prefer books. I could have read this whole store in a couple of hours. Watching it for 40 episodes, even at only 40 minutes per episode, is a lot of time.

My desire to finish #BlossomsInAdversity is currently at war with my need to sleep so I can be a functional human being before 7am.

#Cdrama and #Kdrama Fans!

I need more recs for happy, found family, make-you-smile-and-warm-your-heart type of dramas. I don't mind murder and chaos as long as my people have a happy ending. Recent likes have been #BlossomsInAdversity, #StoryOfKunningPalace, I also liked #JoyOfLife & #MeetYourself.

It has been many years since I hated an emperor as much as the one in #BlossomsInAdversity. It's not like he's a cackling evil man. He's just petty, cruel, and obsessed with being correct. Whatever tiny idea pops up in his head, he runs with it. Throw the whole man out.

The Emperor lecturing Hua Zhi about the temperaments of the imperial family is actually hilarious considering she's currently dating the emperor's nephew while raising the emperor's niece and son. Like, my good sir, stop talking and ask her for advice. She knows more than you.

I have run all the errands, bought myself a mouse that functions, and dealt with two minor work emergencies.

Now I'm going to finish today's editing and maybe finish #BlossomsInAdversity (because I deserve nice things and happily ever after for my favorite characters).

I don't think anyone is ready for me to do the ages of generations again. I could, but I might give someone a heart attack if they realize Millennials are well out of high school and Alpha Gen has started high school.

My computer mouse is officially dying so in my adventures today I need to go find a new one. >.<

The breeze danced through the tropical forest, flirting with bright red hibiscus blooms and perfuming the air with the scent known to the neighbors of tourists universewide as “You just had to be there! The smell was amazing!”

"But I'm an essential service!"

Then you should be provided by the government, not trying to run on capitalism.

If we agree that everyone deserves access to water, then water needs to be run by the government because it's can't earn a profit and provide for the poorest people.

"I can't run my company if I have to pay $30/hr as a minimum wage!"

That's capitalism, my friend.

You are not owed the right to own a company and have employees.

Quick reminder that $25/hr is what I earned in 2000 answering office phones with nothing but a high school degree. It is not a current living wage in most cities. The idea that $15/hr is enough is laughable.

Inflation has happened. Adjust your demands accordingly.

Every job deserves a living wage.

All right, welcome to Monday. First thing we're going to do is make a To Do list because this week is cray-cray. Then we are going to tackle All The Things. It's going to be fun. I'm very excited about, y'know, all of This.

Since we're getting #JoyOfLife2 I need to go rewatch #JoyOfLife as soon as I finish #BlossomsInAdversity. I have missed Fan Xian.

Enemy Forces: We have isolated you and will kill you.

Hua Zhi: Excuse me? That's my boyfriend you trapped. I will be taking him home, thank you very much.

Enemy Forces: But... you're a girl?

Hua Zhi: That's why I said thank you first.

I don't know what the trope is called when you have some who should be a big, dangerous, evil person but they get shown the smallest smidgen of love and they the softest smol bean ever, but I love it.
