Landscape is best...as well as a larger screen

Ah ha!!!
That's why I instantly attached to this script!!
Look who the screenwriter is!!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
There’s been so much to love about this drama: the pacing, character growth, keeping the viewer guessing, but not frustrated..
Lots of show not tell

This is interesting - the screenwriter for the #cdrama #Glory was also the writer behind both #StoryofYanxiPalace & #PerfectMatch - both of which explored riveting (if exaggerated) relationship dynamics between characters

I took a small break from weaving to watch #Glory
I'm almost @ 50" out of 78"
I figured out something in the beat tonight that only time can teach you
I learned to press the row, not whack it
Now I have to figure out how to fit 15 pics in an inch with that technique
So it’s a little wonky

I have to say that I'm truly enjoyed this #cdrama
It's a balance of just enough twists, contrasting characters (even if I have to assign them goofy names to keep them straight) & a simmering romance to keep me interested
Then there's #HouMingHao's eyes
Woof
I'm sold

In addition to weaving & glass projects, I’m starting 2026 off w another resolution:
To read all of #mxtx #danmei in their English edited versions
I tried to read the MTL versions of those books in the past without a lot of success

I'm predicting another new #donghua that I think will be made into a #cdrama one day
#BeyondTimesGaze by Er Gen, author of many that I ❤️ incl #RenegadeImmortal & #AWillEternal
It already feels like a #cdrama /storyboard
A bit gruesome but oh so good. A child's parents/town is murdered by a god 👇🏼

Not as much weaving done yesterday
I'm having tension issues on the edges, so I had to pick out several rows into it over a few times

Okay y’all
I have to put this down for a little while, step away, and get busy
It's killing me
Going to finish some outstanding #donghua & then tackle my Yunmeng scarf
Let's all touch some grass today 🥰

Or, least, stagger about in my pj’s crying @ how I can’t write to her 😂

I had a small setback w the Yunmeng scarf
I asked my partner to re-engineer my loom to give more support for my uneven hand strength
I noticed that some of my rows were angled, which I chalked up to my uneven hand strength
Turns out the loom moved @ an angle. Fixed it
Evening out the rows now

I’ve tried to keep my weaving playlist @ the same level of intensity with one exception:
This piece from #RenegadeImmortal is on 🔥
It's told against a MC expressing his inner battle against the Dao
I've tried to determine instruments: I think it's Pipa &

Veni, vidi, weavy 😂
While it looks like the same picture as all the others, this is 20 inches of weaving
The yarn I’m using is gypsy chenille. It had a tendency to “worm” & pill: it’ll throw out a worm like blob or bunch up every so often
It should, literally, even out in the wash = fulling

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
