viridian5: From a 2009 <i>Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion</i> window display at Bergdorf Goodman. (Mannequin)
[personal profile] viridian5
snowmen 1 (couple)I finally found a warm-ish night when I was available to go, so I traveled into Manhattan on a window display spree.

I've posted Ralph Lauren, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman, and Kleinfeld Bridal Christmas/holiday window display photos to my Flickr.

I'll be going through, processing, and posting Saks Fifth Avenue's haul in the near future. They made things so hard on me...

I'm still adjusting the arrangement of ornaments on my tree to my taste and wondering if the (non-thieving) roommate ever notices.

Challenge 283:
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Whether it’s a job interview, your first day at a new school, or an audience with royalty, first impressions can be important. But they aren’t always easy! Sometimes everything works out, and it’s love (or job offer) at first sight; other times, you trip on a shoelace you could have sworn wasn’t untied five minutes ago, or stub your toe and say a word you shouldn’t say in front of your boss’s boss’s boss, or a supervolcano erupts and you have to immediately cut the interview short to go suit up and save the world.

What kind of first impressions do your characters make? Good ones? Bad ones? Memorable ones, for all the right or wrong reasons?

Write a story about first impressions.

BONUS GOAL: All Suited Up

If your submission features someone in a suit, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, December 15 at 9:00PM EST.
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 283 – first impressions

december seems to be going by really really fast and thats the best i can hope for ok???!!

i watched a horror movie called "man finds tape" (2025) today and honestly enjoyed it. at first i wasnt even paying attention but it asked that i give it a little more consideration and i had fun. it felt like a very american version of a koji shiraishi production, or at least a very inspired-by production. though i think i prefer shiraishi's typically one camera shooting. but thats neither here nor there. its a little bit cult panic, very monsters among us. it raises a lot of questions on its way to answering like one or two it started out with but like in a fun suspend your disbelief low budget horror way. but theres also several automotive accidents and a few slit throats in it so i know a few folks who would not have fun. still. i did.

working on some paintings and getting anxious/excited about ANE!!

started playing night in the woods but literally havent even met gregg yet so Started is all ive done

my buddy rickfox came down for a few days and brought me coffee and a mug they had made for their own comic project and it was really nice to see them, chill out with them, etc. i guess i really wish i had friends like them around my neighborhood!!

tried to get my scooter started to burn the old gas in the tank but it didnt seem to wanna va, so i wait until a warmer day (which hasnt come yet) and try again.

deconstructed the 50gal fishtank because only one lonely sad fish remained. she's now in a 5gal, its better for her in terms of cleanliness and food access and also humans pass it far more often for stimulation. she's the last remaining fish with many old scars from infections she recovered from, abt 9 years old. good return on a 35 cent investment. what we'll do with the recovered space in the living room now there's no giant tank remains to be seen.

very financially anxious, im kind of broke as a joke this month and am such a humbug i dont really see a way to quickly recoup that x.x other than work harder on stuff. which at least i can do now, it def seems like moving medication time to night has substantially helped with my fatigue issues.

hannukah starts sundayyyyyyy

While putting up my tree yesterday, I found out one of my strings of antique flower lights no longer works! I didn't check all lines first because the first one lit up fine and I got overconfident. If I'd known in advance, I would have placed my one working line of flower lights on the tree differently. I have two that no longer light up.

I love my flower lights!

Is anyone doing the December posting meme? Is anyone interested in asking me questions for it?

viridian5: (Christmas kitten)
[personal profile] viridian5
I haven't gone on any trips to take night photos of Christmas/holiday window displays yet because the nights when I'm available and up to go, it's been bitterly cold, and I need to partially remove parts of my right glove to take photos. (Those gloves with the fingertips that claim to let you use your touchscreen have yet to work properly for me when using my iPhone for shooting photos.) That kind of cold makes my hands hurt, especially the bare fingers. Also, if it's too cold my smartphone slows down, including its camera program.

+++

The monthly premium for my Medicare prescription plan rose from $36 a month in 2025 to $100 a month for 2026, so I switched away from Humana to Cigna. Cigna claims to be monthly premium-free but doesn't cover every single prescription of mine; the one it doesn't cover I barely use. It'll probably be fine, but I still can't help worrying I might've made a mistake in switching. If so, it'll take a while to find out.

My head has been killing me lately, which has gotten in the way of me doing a lot of things.

[personal profile] ecto_one_spengler posting in [community profile] fandomweekly
Theme Prompt: #282 - Catharsis
Title: lines in the sand, language of eye contact
Fandom:  House M.D.
Rating/Warnings: PG. Makes reference to somewhat outdated terms regarding the autism spectrum, but other than that, decently wholesome.
Word Count:  533 words
Author's Note: Another one of the times my brain has a sudden burst of motivation for something, this time regarding a curious episode of House in which there's one of the few times he manages to truly connect to a patient. Kind of a magical moment for me (an autistic doofus of a man with too many interests). Also yes this means I am kinda leaning towards a "House is actually somewhat in the spectrum someplace" headcanon, I do what I want.
Summary:  The best approximation of how Dr. House is feeling during the events of the main case of "Lines in the Sand"
