Here are some quick reviews of the RE films, along with a few notes on which timeline I think they belong to, which is part of a larger piece I'm working on discussing why I think we should see the RE universe as two separate timelines in general (based mostly on characterization). Timeline references are from over here.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

I wrapped up this game a few days ago, and I have since plummeted into a full-blown RE obsession, so it's safe to say I enjoyed it. Some of my critiques of the start remain the same, but once Grace was in Rhodes Hill proper things improved immensely.

I figure I'll go over some of my critiques and predictions from the last two entries, and see what holds up and what doesn't.

Today is cloudy and chilly.

I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

3/14/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I am done for the night.

People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

What will be/are some of the by-products to society of everyone having the ability to take pictures or a video at any time?

Separation of Church and Parking Lot

How can we repurpose church parking lots for the better?

But unlike the bank in the bottom left of the first map, whose lot is never full—even predictably so—and where one might justify changing the parking requirements to accommodate this phenomenon, churches are assembly halls. Once or twice a week, they do fill up.

And unlike the banks, churches, mosques, temples, and other houses of worship are civic spaces. These spaces are where neighbors come together to share meals and company, or where folks from dispersed corners of a city unite under a common purpose. If a city lacks the density to begin with, and driving to church is the obvious option, there is no good argument for denying a church its parking—they use it!

But a dilemma lies in the five or six days of the week in which these lots sit empty. Churches and other houses of worship are amenities within neighborhoods, but blocks of street-facing parking lots are the opposite. They sit unused for about 250 to 300 days of the year.

Scientists warn that a certain type of earthquake is much more destructive and being overlooked

In a typical quake, a rupture spreads along a fault at a speed slower than shear waves, seismic waves that shake the ground sideways. A supershear rupture outruns those waves, so energy piles up at the rupture tip and forms a sharp shock front.

That shock front is why these quakes can be so damaging. A nearby town can get hammered first by the high speed rupture front, then by the trailing waves in what Elbanna describes as a “double strike”.

Today we went to the Home and Garden Expo at the Otto Center. The parking lot was so full, we had to go all the way in the back to find a space -- there's a whole extra lot back there that we'd never even seen before.

It's snowing. In March. Sure, why not.

In screaming fangirl news, AMC announced the June 7th premier date for The Vampire Lestat, posted the opening credits to YouTube, and released the second single. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT I WANT ALL OF IT NOW.

---

Speaking of vampires -- you know, one of my default states of being -- I have decided that a way to bring myself more joy is to lean into my pink and black aesthetic, with more of a vampire governess vibe. Because I've needed distraction recently, I made a Pinterest board. I may spend part of this weekend reworking my pink wide brimmed hat that has bat lace appliques on the underside of the brim and making a pink lace jabot.

---

Even more vampires: I spent last night reading a fantastic AU Hannibal/True Blood fic, only to get to the last chapter that was a note from the author saying they would no longer be updating the story as they have left the Hannibal fandom. DAMMIT.

Health stuff: I've been having bouts of stomach bloating and pain (mostly after I eat something) for no real reason I can identify, so I tried an experiment: for the past few days, I didn't have anything with cheese, and lo, everything was fine. Today I added cheese to the exact same thing I had for yesterday's lunch, and guess what? If I have become digestively sensitive to cheese, I want to punch a divine being in the face multiple times. Cheese my beloved, don't hurt me!

That time of the month again. lol.

tl;dr Primeval, Winter Olympics/Paralympics, Harry Wild, The Other Bennet Sister, Gladiators.

Primeval- I watched this when it came out in 2007 and liked it, but it has really stood the test of time. It is a brilliant concept- wormholes/anomalies open all over the timeline and allow dinosaurs and other ancient creatures to arrive in the 21st century.
This allows numerous adventures and permutations of creatures, adventures, human stories, and I'm really enjoying it. This show makes a nice change in the tidal wave of reality shows and remakes we get these days. Apparently they are remaking Lovejoy soon- why, just why?
Anyway. I also love the Primeval characters again- dorky Connor, feisty Abby, eccentric Nick, rather bland Stephen, abrupt James, mysterious Claudia/Jenny, hot Becker. And of course the arch villain, psychotic Helen, who is like a cross between Servalan and Lara Croft. The cast changed a lot over the 5 years, we lost Nick, Stephen, Claudia/Jenny but good replacements came along. Sarah, Matt, Danny etc. I'm only on season 3 so there's lots more fun to come.

Today is partly cloudy and chilly with blustery wind.

I fed the birds. I've seen several sparrows and house finches plus a mourning dove.

I put out water for the birds.

3/13/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

3/13/26 -- I moved the 16 water jug greenhouses from the parking lot to near the barrel garden. Many of them have sprouts inside now! :D

3/13/26 -- I trimmed brush along the north side of the house.

I am done for the night.

New Worlds: Miscellaneous Arts

Throughout the art sections of this Patreon, I've been grouping them into broad categories: visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, and so forth. But what about the arts that are kinda of . . . none of the above?

This is a fun ramble through many different arts and crafts.
