No energy at all for doing the creativity prompts right now.

 

Challenge #4

 

Fun House

Journaling: What is making you smile these days? Create a top 10 list of anything you want to talk about.

 

1. Getting a message from Stepdaughter with pictures of my granddaughter.

2. Face-timing with my nephew and niece.

3. My cat.

4. Taking a walk by the lake where I live.

5. Going to the summer house.

6. Finishing a sewing project.

7. Trying a new recipe and really liking it, so it gets added to the dinner rotation.

8. Thinking about it, cooking in general makes me smile.

9. Finishing cleaning the house. I loathe the actual cleaning, but love the finished result.

10. Listening to music I love.

 

Challenge #5

 

Journaling prompt: Be a carnival barker for your favorite movie, book, or show (or any other of your choice - game, comic, anything else)! Write a post that showcases the best your chosen title has to offer and entices passersby to check it out.

 

I will do a little rerun here, and point you to this post, where I talk about two of my all time favorites, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers.

 

Challenge #6

 

Journaling prompt: What games do you play, if any? Are you a solo-gamer or do you view games as a social activity?

 

I don’t play computer games, apart from solitaire. I’ve tried, and promptly get mind-numbingly bored. I do enjoy board games on occasion, though.

Saaaaame.

Cooking is where I feel myself unwind too c:

LOL!

It's very soothing to cook, I find.

Good list.
I'm not into video games at all, I do like trivia games, some board games and games where you can use your imagination a lot. I also really like Cards Against Humanity.

Thank you!

I really love Gaudy Night. I know it's got some dated ideas (about gender especially), but I enjoy it anew every time I read it. I think I read it the first time in high school, looking for a straight forward mystery, and I was fascinated by the academic setting and the history of the time period.

Me too! And the dating I can take considering it's 90 years old. I too expected a mystery, but was delighted in finding so much more.

One of the best things about the internet is that now I can look up all of the obscure (to me) academic references!

When I first ventured out on the Net, back in 2000, the very first thing I did was join a Lord Peter mailing list. We did a read-through together, and it was great fun discussing all the references.

Aw, the things that make you smile are nice:)

I can't get into computer games either. They're supposed to make a person cleverer, but I'll stick with being stupid!

Thank you!

Great list. The 'finished cleaning' is a very relatable feeling! So satisfying!

[scripsi]

It is! Pity is doesn't last...
