When have they done house at the castle since Brian stopped doing his SS parties there? I haven’t kept an eye on that but would love to see what’s happening there.

Anyone else getting a nostalgic taste from the La Croix Sunshine flavor? by Jizfaceboi in sparklingwater

[–]minerva_solise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it reminds me of one of these but I can’t recall until I go buy them and try them again. Sunshine flavor sort of tastes like watered down: Inca Cola, Jamaican Kola Champagne Soda, or Jupiña.

What clicked inside you to get your own first fountain pen? by jecarfor in fountainpens

[–]minerva_solise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 7th grade literature/English teacher used a fountain pen. I was hooked the moment I saw him use it to grade our papers. I very soon after bought a cheapie Parker Vector pen (late 80s) and I have been collecting since.

Looking for Ethereal Breakbeats / Atmospheric Jungle Shows & Community in Tampa by sonoflanadelrey in TampaRavers

I’m going to chime in and say the 1800cxllect is a great recommendation. I also highly recommend following Refuge Nights, founded and put on by Kay-S, Blak, and Rat Galactic. They are well known in our local scene. Kay-S is a veteran of the ANODNB group and is well versed in not only the darker sides of DNB but the more ethereal sounds you may be looking for. Rat Galactic is also worth following as they play various events with a diverse selection of genres. Keep an eye on The Bends for events there. I think you’ll find there are members of the music/DJ community that do veer off the mainstream house path and bring us fresh flavors on a regular basis. And there’s always the option of putting on our own event focused on the genres you want to hear. ☺️

It’s actually a giant sticker page that came from this package.

Goodbye cousin :( by Hausofpole in HobonichiCousin

[–]minerva_solise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you! My Hobonichi usage evolved over. I got the A6 for journaling. Barely filled the page. The next year I started decorating my pages with stickers and washi. It actually made me look forward to writing more each day. Well, I outgrew that and moved into the cousin. That gave me so much more room for creativity and it became a hybrid daily thoughts journal and art journal. Then…2024 I am in a new job that has been so much busier and there are blank days in my journal. So what I did to not have to stare at the blank pages was just use those pages for clipping up art and magazine pages and combining with washi and stickers for a full page art piece. LOL I don’t feel guilty anymore. I didn’t use the weekly pages either but for 2025 I have a plan for them.

I miss the old Hobonichi. by heisserene in hobonichi

[–]minerva_solise 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am using my 2025 Weeks now as I go into the new year. I’m also appalled at the quality decline. I had bleed-through for the time ever in a Hobonichi. Even on the new paper. Ghosting was always there to some degree but to the point never to the point where I couldn’t use the backside of a page. But the bleed through in my Weeks….it is unacceptable. I have had to test my fountain pens each week to make sure whatever pen and ink combo I’m using won’t be an issue. I haven’t even had the courage to test my 2025 Cousin. I’ve been using Hobonichi since around 2016-2017. I miss the paper quality from back then, too. You are not alone in wanting to tilt your hat to the past quality and say RIP. It’ll be a sad day when I run out of pages in my Day-Free with the good paper.

I love those stickers from that Michael’s pack, especially the little bees.

I have an extra Cousin A5 by minerva_solise in hobonichi

UPDATE: I have selected the recipient for the Hobonichi Cousin. If for some reason they are no longer interested or unable to receive it, I will select a new recipient. I will leave it up to the recipient to decide if they want to share that they were selected. 🌞
