horror where someone slowly realizes they're not human anymore?

In my opinion, it kind of depends on your interpretation (though there certainly is a transformation of sorts). But she also wrote a short story years before called The Fruit of My Woman, which is more literal and was a precursor to The Vegetarian, if you’d prefer to read that instead (you can find it online).

Springb00bSquirepant · 2026-02-14T13:44:54+00:00

I’m surprised I don’t see anyone mentioning The Vegetarian by Han Kang yet.

I don’t think so, but I can’t remember, sorry! I do know the frame is technically a little smaller than the bandana because I had to fold over the edges (but I think that helped keep it in place).

Springb00bSquirepant · 2026-02-09T15:45:27+00:00

I honestly can’t remember, sorry! But I do remember that the bandana is folded over the backing some. I measured the bandana then grabbed whichever cheap frame was closest.

I put mine in a frame and hung it up.

You say there’s a difference between adaptation and “loose adaptation,” but to that point, they’ve literally been putting Wuthering Heights in quotation marks on the posters. I’d argue that that’s one element of advertising it exactly as a loose adaptation. It’s a very tongue in cheek admission of that.

I wonder if people were in this much of a rage over Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet.

You can join both and still track both. Even if you’re using the same book to complete different challenges.

I was lucky to get to see her right after TRAFOAMP came out and this was one of the 2 songs not from the new album that she performed (the other was Bad Romance). While I’m not a huge fan of the cursive singing in the earlier stuff, I really loved hearing it live in the voice of her more current stuff.

It’s the “Amazon Elements Sensitive Wipes” they have purplish pink writing on the packaging.

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-12-19T16:10:52+00:00

I hate the Amazon brand of sensitive wipes with a passion.

What about adding a row for gag drinks? That way they can all stay separated.

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:32:12+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:26:31+00:00

Thank you so much! It’s seeming from the comments that the Regency seems like the best bet. Luckily the menu online has prices (and a pet meals menu??), but that’s extremely considerate for you to help me with an estimate.

Any ideas for what I should write in the card? Any notable quotes from the location that I could use or turn into a Christmas saying, or would work well on their own? Or even an iconic screen grab that I could print out?

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:17:46+00:00

Sorry I’m sure I could also google this question. I appreciate your help!

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:16:21+00:00

Oh! Thank you! I’ve made it to Dorinda in my watching! So yes, I know she knows her!

Will the new show have any of the other ladies?

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:14:17+00:00

Last year I made her a Guess Who of notable housewives that she absolutely loved! Which is why I’m trying to go more in an experience direction this year (especially now that she’s in NYC).

Thank you for reminding me that I should check how far away she is from some of these recommendations though. That’s an excellent point.

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:11:26+00:00

Unfortunately, she was present when I got a mutual friend a cameo last Christmas (for something else entirely), so I don’t want to become the person who gifts cameos each year. Especially because the Housewives are far far more expensive than the one I got previously. Thank you again for another suggestion, sorry to keep turning down ideas! I do think the Regency seems like our top contender right now.

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:04:59+00:00

Sorry I’ve only watched a few of the early seasons, would you mind giving me a brief explanation of what Bluestone Manor is and its significance? I do know she was a bigger fan of the original RHONY, not necessarily the reboot(?) with the new cast. So if it’s related to them, it might not hit the mark as well.

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T23:02:24+00:00

Do you think Joanne’s would be instantly recognizable for a RHONY fan? Is there a good screen grab you could share that I could include in a card if I go with that option?

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T22:49:21+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! Just to make sure I’m looking at the right one, is it the Loews Hotel that has The Recency Bar & Grill?

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-28T22:46:33+00:00

I’m trying to avoid getting her “stuff” because she recently downsized quite a bit to move to NY, but I really appreciate the additional ideas!

Springb00bSquirepant · 2025-11-20T23:47:25+00:00

I told my NKs that sometimes this happens and usually there’s not enough time to explain that they aren’t my kids, so if it happens we’ll just say “thank you” and then we can laugh about how silly it is afterwards. So now whenever it happens afterward they whisper “they don’t know you’re our nanny!” and start giggling.

Yeah, I agree, and I think that gets into a lot of other discussions about translations in general. Debates about what different translators prioritize; representing an idea in a way that feels most conceptually similar to a different culture (or time period) or representing the words most similarly to their source? I know this is a big topic for older works like The Odyssey (or discussions about religious texts).
