i'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive @sing-you-fools - Tumblr Blog

💚✨️INTRO POST✨️💚

wait, sorry, you're telling me i'm expected to write a fuckin cover letter for tumblr dot com?

alright friends and foes, i have some major decluttering and reorganizing to get through this summer. i need audiobooks to get me through it.

please drop your recs for long-ass audiobooks! i'm generally a scifi/fantasy person but more than happy to branch out!

clarification: by "long-ass" i mean 20 hours at absolute minimum. i need audiotomes. i need books so long that the absolute terror that libby will automatically return them before i finish, and i will then have to put them back on hold and desperately hope i still have any idea what was going on in them when the holds come back in, keeps me going on my project. i just finished Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb which is 38 hours long in three days. if i didn't already have very specific plans for War and Peace i'd give that a go. i want long.

#a super long audiobook keeps me working on a task #because i can't just sit there and do nothing and listen i need to keep my hands busy #so if i don't keep working it'll get automatically returned to libby before i finish it #and then i'll have to put it back on hold and wait and hope i remember anything #books #bookblr #audiobooks #book recs

we had planned a very cute cake and cakelets for my kid's cat-themed birthday party but he decided at the last minute that actually he wants the cake to be a Warrior Cat

he is however surrounded by kittypet temptations

#someday i will find the strength to say no when my kid describes the birthday cake he wants #maybe #i hope #i can't be doing all this every year i need sleep #cake decorating #birthday cake #warrior cats #my fetchy kitty deserves a mousecake but it would not be good for her and i'm sad about it

i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

i am kissing you on the mouth right now

you are the only person who understands me. you and the person who tagged a series of unfortunate events

#chekov's gun #a series of unfortunate events #this post is still about radiant star by ann leckie but that one does it well too #it is still not about les miserables. OR moby dick #books #bookblr

recently started an audiobook that's the first in a trilogy, went to put books 2 and 3 on hold only to see that they are 29 and 38 hours long, respectively. resigned myself to having them automatically returned when i was halfway through (if that) and needing to put them back on hold and wait and desperately hope i had any memory of what was going in when the hold came back in.

halfway through book one i get a libby notification that the library has acquired ♾️ more copies of the other two. which i can only assume is the universe's way of apologizing for exploding a meteor when i was trying to take a nap yesterday

well. as it turns out. it is entirely possible to finish a 38 hour audiobook in three days if you are Insane enough

how many times do you double-check that the recipe does in fact call for baking [powder/soda] and that baking [powder/soda] is in fact what you are about to add?

none, i trust myself to get it right the first time

once

twice, it's called DOUBLE checking

thrice

normal amount

i live somewhere that has more easily distinguishable names for these items

one of the hardest things about parenting is needing to come to terms with the extent to which you find yourself capable of straight-up hating an elementary school aged child

#sure if a kid is bullying your kid you expect to have negative feelings there #but there's this one kid. god. all she does is piss me off #and you still gotta be so nice because they're not even 10 they're still learning to be people #if everyone said “wow this kid is a little shit i'm gonna be a dick to her” she would never have a chance to learn not to be a little shit!#but sometimes i do wish i were in a position where it would be appropriate for me to be like.#alright kid. wtf is wrong with you. act better.#parenting

It is a truth universally acknowledged that BREAD +2 if you also have SOUP.

problem with being on here is you end up with headcanons for media you have never interacted with a single time in your life. i have neither seen nor read project hail mary but i know for a fact that rocky has a human hand print bumper sticker on his spaceship that says WHO RESCUED WHO

the best kind of guy to pin to a card and study under a microscope is the kind where 90% of the time you're going "what the fuck is wrong with him what the FUCK" and 10% of the time it's like unexpectedly looking directly into one of those 10× magnification mirrors or perhaps coming face to face with a grotesque portrait of oneself

#weird as fuck reading this as an adult who has lived an adult life and done adult things and gone through the whole “ohhh! gay” thing #when i loved it as little miss perfect teenager who had never done anything wrong in my entire life #whyyy was this my favorite book. and at the same time. ohhh. a lotta stuff is clicking actually #The Character #the picture of dorian gray #oscar wilde #lord henry wotton

#i think i now understand the difference between blorbo and The Character #what the fuck is wrong with him #read this for hs english and have claimed it as my favorite classic ever since #but realized it's been 20 years and i remember nothing except loving it #coming back to it is one of those “oh there were SIGNS signs” situations #oscar wilde #the picture of dorian gray #The Character

i recognize that my body would probably benefit from such as a yoga or pilates class but. well. not to be an edgelord but i need like yoga for assholes or something. i am from massachusetts and the vibe at these things puts me directly into fight or flight mode. why are you acting like this let me out let mE OUT

tuesday night: i draw a tarot card for wednesday. strength. what? lol wednesday is nap day. what kind of strength do i need for that. maybe the kitties will be extra rambunctious and i will need to be strong enough to close the door so i can fall asleep even though that means no chance of a kitty coming and snuggling for naptime...that's probably it. yeah

7:00 Ay Em Wednesday: the solar panel guys my husband emailed two weeks ago about the panel falling off our roof finally get back to him. how's this morning, they want to know. it's. fine. it's fine. it's literally fine. no nap for me but i can be brave about it. i can make biscotti. i guess.

#ughh grrr #not very good at reading tarot cards
