collecting words like tasty snacks: loach

bluedreamingMaybe it’s just me, today, but I came across the word loach (which I’m positive I’ve heard before; it’s a type of fish after all, and sounds familiar) and the word is so delicious, it makes my mouth water.
Strong contender for next year’s word of the year? I guess we’ll see.

sunshine challenge in a new form
Jun. 29th, 2025 10:21 pmbluedreamingI meant to post about this months ago, but I'm still somehow not really getting a handle on this year. Sometimes it's like that! Anyway, the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sunshine_challenge was always a really fun landmark for the year on Dreamwidth, and a slightly different type of event, and I was delighted to learn that after a couple of years of dormancy (hoping all is okay!) it's being carried on by a new team as the sunshine_revival.
I did get as far as making a few banners for it that fit my journal, but I guess I'll have to see which one I pick.

As a side note though, maybe I'll have more success this year, since I have been writing more this last little while (cheers forfan_flashworks!), so we'll see!

Jun. 29th, 2025 06:16 pmlee_bellaFinished reading Cyan Wings' My Ideal Town (我的理想小镇[无限]), a Lovecraftian infinite flow novel, though it had nothing to do with the Cthulhu mytho. The summary for this one is a bit deceiving, and the author admitted that too in one of the author's notes. The romance plot is very touching. I forgot how many times I cried while reading this. Having a cute mascot really helps in a story like this; the little octopus plush is adorable. Will write a proper review for it later.
