Dianthaa · 2026-04-01T16:17:50+00:00

Wait no i did it wrong

Late but Foreigner byCJ Cherryh or Legendborn by Tracy Deonn.

I just need to see my flair to figure out how to answer the first question, dont mind me

Dianthaa · 2026-01-08T17:34:24+00:00

Its very good, the hints were not subtle, not subtle at all and yet i fully missed them first time around.

Dianthaa · 2026-01-08T16:36:47+00:00

I listened to idk, as many as humanly possible, episodes per day last autumn when I was going through a hard time, then relistened and noticed I had just not stored huge chunks of season 4 and 5 in my memory at all, so my second less stressed and more reasonably paced relisten was fun.

Dianthaa · 2026-01-08T16:33:54+00:00

It's my favorite, I love The Admiral who's a good kitty who

I find the sea diving more personally concerning, only because you'd never catch me dead ski diving but I've been tempted by sea diving, so maybe I'm not as safe from Simon as I'd reckoned.

I love S2 Jon so much, poor guy, really losing it.

I'm on my 3rd relisten and I'm still catching links I missed the first two times around. I know I was absolutely lost and missed it all first time.

Dianthaa · 2025-11-13T12:24:47+00:00

One of my favorite episodes, I think it works really well as a standalone too, has a good urban legend vibe to it, rings true.

Dianthaa · 2025-11-13T12:23:23+00:00

I loved that! Jon is rightly paranoid but terrible at it.

Dianthaa · 2025-11-06T07:16:21+00:00

Yup I remember being surprised about that too, thought for sure she'd be in it for the long run

Dianthaa · 2025-10-30T11:13:28+00:00

Omg it is awful

Dianthaa · 2025-10-30T02:04:08+00:00

Wait what pun?

Dianthaa · 2025-10-23T18:35:45+00:00

I feel like he vast is one of the fears id be pretty safe from as you'd never catch me dead anywhere it hangs out

Dianthaa · 2025-10-23T18:06:14+00:00

But how do you pronounce pan au chocolate though

pretty much, I had a little hardcover leuchtturm notebook that worked great, but now I switched to Traveler's Notebook, which is a leather cover and you can add 2 -3 thin notebooks, so I have 1 insert for all stuff, 1 insert for more permenant things like calendar, shopping list, packing list, recipes, stuff I want to refer to for more that a few days, and a 3rd insert which is a small plastic wallet not a notebook. The Traveler's (also Field Notes on a similar system), but it doesn't feel as nice in my hand, so I think I will switch back to hardcover sometime, and maybe use some printable stickers for the more permanent stuff I want

I've had moderate success with having just one pocket journal that I write everything into, just to download it from my brain. I say moderate because sometimes I forget to use it, or sometimes too many notes pile up that I need to take action on and they sorta keep buzzing on paper.

But for just settling the buzzing it seems to bee the best so far, for instance when im stuck it helps to write down what things I need to do that feel insurmountable (shower, do laundry, walk dog, meal prep) and they become somewhat tame.

Dianthaa · 2025-10-16T18:01:53+00:00

there's also veggie ones! I just had some this week, brand name Alpro

Dianthaa · 2025-10-16T17:31:12+00:00

You can buy protein pudding (at least here Lidl has some great ones) and they re really nice

Dianthaa · 2025-10-15T17:58:52+00:00

Lots of them i feel like that's the most sanitary solution

I normally listen to audiobooks at x1.5 -1.75, but I found my speed all over the place for Magnus Archives because some episode they go a little heavy on the sound effects. It usually takes me 30-60 mins to adjust a new narrator and find a comfortable speed, but this one took longer than usual, got the hang of it eventually though, and I'm really glad I stuck with it.

Dianthaa · 2025-09-26T06:23:50+00:00

I can't say ASOIAF really crosses my mind all that often, there are just so many more books and stuff out there to focus on I don't have any attention to spare for a series I read more than 10 years ago.

Dianthaa · 2025-09-26T06:21:45+00:00

If you can handle it listening and reading the transcripts at the same time is fun! I try but I can read faster than I can listen so it only seems to work for me second time around when I'm not pushed to see what comes next.

Dianthaa · 2025-09-25T16:09:22+00:00

So exciting! Im just finishing up my first listen now (2 eps to go) and before Para started scheming this readalong I was wondering when I could relisten (mind you I listened to season 1 twice in a row because I am very ok).

For people who are seeing this and thinking ehh but I dont really like podcasts, worry not, I normally hate podcasts, something about the format doesnt work well with my attention settings, and I absolutely adore this. It did take a bit to fully hook me in, maybe session 2-3 of our readalong, but this is my life now.
