320/365: Barrels awaiting movement to pub cellar
Click for a larger, sharper image

I was in Bromsgrove today, which isn't the most exciting town in the world especially when it's drizzly and grey, but ah well. I popped into the Spoons pub (the Golden Cross) for a late breakfast and coffee, and since they had the fire going I had to drag myself out again when I'd finished! Outside, there was a beer (and cider) delivery in progress all over the pavement. Here you can see a bunch of barrels awaiting movement to the pub's cellar. They're full of various types of cider and beer. And Budweiser.

319/365: Black-headed gull
Click for a larger, sharper image

The weather today was what I'd call "vaguely acceptable" for the time of year. I got a reasonable amount of walking in, just sneaking over 10,000 steps by the end of the day. Not particularly amazing for me, but acceptable. Here's a rather bored-looking black-headed gull sitting on the parapet of Bewdley Bridge. I suppose part of the problem for these birds is that in December not many people are sitting outside with chips to drop on the ground! These birds don't actually have a fully black head for most of the year; it's usually roughly early March to late July. And yes, if you're a Watership Down fan (as you should be!) Kehaar is one of this species.

Tarzan (1999) film poster
Tarzan (1999)

It's been a long time since I made a film review post, so let's rectify that now! The most recent movie I watched at home was this one, which I've had on DVD for ages but had either never watched or hadn't seen for donkey's years. So, any good? Yeah, not bad at all. I had fun, anyway. It's not a knock-down classic, and the fact Phil Collins won an Oscar for one of Tarzan's forgettable songs suggests it wasn't a vintage year for film music. But where it really stands out is in the action sequences, which are fantastic: breathlessly dynamic and exciting, with dizzying camera angles by the dozen. Tony Goldwyn as Tarzan himself is okay, though Minnie Driver's Jane is a bit uninteresting. BRIAN BLESSED is in this (as Clayton) which is rarely a bad thing, as is Nigel Hawthorne in one of his very last roles as Jane's dad. This isn't one of the absolute great Disney animated features – The Lion King from five years earlier beats it on most counts, including animal support cast quality – but it's well worth a look on a Sunday afternoon. Highish three. β˜…β˜…β˜…

Ferry 'cross the... Severn

318/365: Arley Ferry remains, Bewdley
Click for a larger, sharper image

This is all that remains of the ferry that once took passengers across the River Severn a few miles upstream at the village of Arley. At its peak the ferry was carrying a couple of thousand people each weekend, but it became heavily loss-making and was replaced with an (ugly) footbridge in 1972. The remains were taken to Bewdley in the 1980s and were used as a landing stage for small hire motor boats, but they were wrecked in a flood in 1996. Since 2000, the few remaining pieces of the ferry have been on display in this front garden in Bewdley, not far from the river.

317/365: Grit bin, Bewdley
Click for a larger, sharper image

Once again I failed to grab any photos of anything even remotely interesting today. I realised this a little before the light went and popped down the road to take a photo of a grit bin. A rather battered one, at that, though climate change being what it is means we don't need them as much as we used to. Worcestershire Highways do maintain it and keep it topped up, but some winters the grit barely gets used. So it's kind of just a big yellow plastic box on the pavement. :P

I am so sick of the term "AI slop"

[personal profile] loganberrybunny

There are all kinds of debates and discussions to be had about AI, absolutely including its major concerns (water usage is probably number one for me) and it's bad enough when people talk as though image generators and large language models (eg chatbots) were basically all AI was. There's a great deal more to it.

But even within that, simply repeating the same phrase ("AI slop") that many thousands of people have done before you is not helping. It's tedious, overused and above all unoriginal and is therefore a truly terrible way to promote human individuality in the creative arts. If you use your words to make an argument, I'm a lot more likely to spend time on it than if you just copy what is now for all practical purposes a meme.

316/365: Salvation Army band, Worcester
Click for a larger, sharper image

I was in Worcester today for the last meetup with my friends in the My Little Pony fandom for nearly a month, because of the Christmas break. (Hearth's Warming break, in Equestrian terms!) A very good time was had, I unexpectedly ended up the winner of the 2025 Chase the Ace championship – hence that "surprised" mood setting! – and I had an extremely nice orange and cranberry muffin. Earlier on I'd been wandering through the city centre and the Salvation Army band was playing carols, a long-standing sound of Christmas in Worcester. Of course the SA are problematic, though AIUI nowhere near as bad as their US counterparts have been – but I don't think listening to the carols does any harm, and it certainly cheered up quite a few kids in the vicinity who had been grizzling about the cold!

[personal profile] comet_scout posting in [community profile] addme

Me:

Comet, or Ju, 27, Brazilian, but I only post in English.

I mostly post about:

I like posting about things I may be into at the moment, like a game I played or something I’ve found interesting, and some basic thoughts about them. Mostly I have been logging in my Solo TTRPG plays, my Doronai Nui adventures mainly. Sometimes a post about real life, but not much. The plan is to just blog about anything I feel like sharing.

My hobbies are:

I play video games, I solo TTRPGs, I draw, I drabble, some fandoming, and some light toy collecting. Want to read more.

My fandoms are:

My main fandoms are Bionicle (G1) and Transformers (G1, Beast Wars, Skybound, Prime, and some IDW), I also like No Man’s sky, and have been getting into The Dark Crystal. And a little bit of many things. I have been playing a lot of Vintage Story.

My posting schedule tends to be:

Sporadic. I’ve made an effort to post more frequently, but it’s more interesting when I actually have something that has been on my mind.

I'm looking to meet people who:

Post similar things or may like similar things. I’m not around all the time, and I’m a bit quiet, so I don’t mind people who are similar.

315/365: Beales Corner, Bewdley
Click for a larger, sharper image

Oh, it was so nice to have decent weather today! Admittedly it rained in the earlier part of the morning, but after that things improved very markedly. I didn't have the time to do anything particularly interesting, but even walking through Bewdley town centre was pleasant enough. Today's photo is of Beales Corner – the first word is pronounced "Bales" – which is very close to the river; the Severn is behind me on the near side of the road. All these houses are lived in; most date from the 17th century, although the row of brick cottages is a from the C18 or C19.

314/365: Stubborn swan, Stourport
Click for a larger, sharper image

I walked into Stourport (3-4 miles) this morning and decided to treat myself to a cooked breakfast when I got there. The Port House did the trick. It was a Wetherspoon long ago but is now run by Davenports. A little on the shabby side inside, but clean and the breakfast menu although limited was what I wanted. A pretty large full English and a cuppa for £7.99 is not at all bad these days! Then, as the weather was pleasant for the time of year, I wandered around by the river for a while. I spotted this swan who absolutely refused to go to the river (not far behind me – yes, that's my shadow!) and instead insisted on standing in this large puddle. No accounting for taste, I suppose!

Hey everyone! My name is Leslie but I'm usually called Lilith online. Either works. I used to be on LiveJournal for years then fell away once Facebook became a thing. I am venturing back to LJ and I will also be posting here as well. I remember having really great connections on LJ and I am hoping to find that again.

Name:

 

Leslie aka Lilith. Either is fine.

Age:

45. I've always been an old soul and now my body is catching up.

I mostly post about:

I don't know yet. I think it's going to be mostly a diary kind of thing where I talk about my life and thoughts and dreams and goals and the nice stuff and the bad stuff. A little bit of everything that makes me ... me.

My hobbies are:

theater, acting, directing, doing tech, art, singing, writing, photography, anything NASA (I go to the Space Center a lot), thrifting, true crime, documentaries

My fandoms are:

Anything Broadway, Marvel, Wicked, paranormal shows, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Taylor Swift, etc

I'm looking to meet people who:

Are chill. Some things should be serious about some things, but also a sense of humor is great. I am very "woke" though. Please be aware I am "woke". I am also disabled and will talk about my illness and disability issues. And I am mom of an nonverbal son who is autistic and those subjects will come up. I am adult too so I'll bring up adult issues as well, like sex.

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc

My goal is to post at least weekly, maybe twice a week. My illness can throw me for a loop and suddenly I can't sit up some days. So, it depends on my spoons.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

If you are conservative. We just won't connect or agree on things, and I am at the point in my life that I want peace. It's better to just move along. I'm also not Christian but I do have Christian friends, but I am not into Christian Nationalism. If you are, we won't be a good fit. I identify as pagan/witch. I'm also LGBTQIA+ and have a trans son.

Before adding me, you should know: I am unapologetically myself. I can be a strong personality and I will always say if I disagree with someone, but I won't be rude about it unless I am needing to match energy being thrown at me.

313/365: Harvey Norman, Merry Hill
Click for a larger, sharper image

Today I was at Merry Hill for a bit, not doing a great deal of actual shopping but at least browsing somewhat and having the odd cup of coffee or wrap. (No, Tim Hortons, I do not want your overpriced blobs of dough.) It wasn't as impossibly busy as it will become in the last week or so before Christmas, thankfully. The old Debenhams department store has been converted into a Harvey Norman (Australian company, with a range reminiscent of John Lewis) which is rather expensive for the most part. It's nice to see the colourful exterior wall has been retained, though. Happily it shows up in my photo rather better than I thought it might!
