It's never a bad time to stare at Zhu Yilong's pectorals again. Also his jawline and sternocleidomastoid. There must be a sexier name for sternocleidomastoid.

A piece of good news: ATLA returns to Netflix on May 15.

I finished the most boring section in Duolingo this morning--the one for "people." Ha ha, oh the irony. I do not care that Julia es cubana and I certainly don't need to have that repeated twenty times good LORD. I realize that repetition is key, but the entire five part lesson consisted solely of introductions ("my name is" "her name is") and where people are from (most of them from Cuba with one poor lonely soul from China). So glad to be done with that.

Feeling surprisingly alert/physically capable, so today will be my second attempt at mask-making. The original foray was thwarted when my fatigue brain couldn't process the instructions. /o\ For context, I used to be capable of sewing custom Elizabethan-style bodices and costumes like this. Chronic illness is a trip, y'all.

I mentioned on Twitter that McKitterick had never seen Yentl, which... that was just unacceptable so he actually bought the DVD and we watched it this week. If you, too, haven't seen it in, uh...probably 30 years? let me reassure you it holds up. There was only one tiny cringey thing which, in context, made sense but... well, eh, maybe I should make a post about Yentl? It was a very formative movie for little Manka let's just say. Any other Yentl fans in the house?

I usually don't post twice in a day, but wenella is concerned this video of Zhu Yilong singing and eating and being painfully awkward will get taken down so watch it while you can!


So we've got that hair (sorry, I know some of you like it--that's fine, LIFE'S RICH TAPESTRY), the hoodie (there is no excuse), the hilariously awkward body movement while singing (undeniable) and I finally (I hate to sound Like That Person but) those table manners. That combo should be an absolute deal-breaking boner-killer but NOPE.

Still want him to fucking pound me into the floor.
