The sky was a deep purple bruise.
I waited for the stars, I waited for the moon, I waited for wispy clouds.
Dread threatened to overwhelm me; would tonight be the night that they'd all fail to appear?
Moths flittered by unconcerned.
Trust the moths, I told myself, they know the moon is there.
And soon the lights in the sky became visible.
I relaxed; another normal night.
Sometimes I wished I was a moth instead of a surveillance drone.
"Prior to the Gregorian calendar, farmers in China and Japan broke each year down into 24 sekki or “small seasons.” These seasons didn't use dates to mark seasons, but instead, they divided up the year by natural phenomena"
Seagulls are the ghasts of real life
They're big white flying things that sound like a person in pain, and sometimes they ruin your day
Doctor Who • Audio Dramas
I've spent most of today rewriting the recommendations for new listeners section, and now I'm slowly going through the guide and rewriting most of the text explaining the segments.
I *feel* like I'm improving things, but I don't know if I am actually improving things, or if I'm just enjoying shuffling words around.
petty annoyance at a specific word
The plural form just being "series" is the secret killer here.
I've had to rewrite sentences *so many times* because using the plural form made the sentence sound so utterly wrong.
petty annoyance at a specific word
I'm starting to get really annoyed with Big Finish for using the word "Series". Because it's really ambiguous and frustrating:
The sense of "series" in
"The fan-loved series, The Eighth Doctor Adventures"
is a different sense to
"The Eighth Doctor Adventures: Series 3"
is a different sense to
"Big Finish produces a number of different series"
it's horrible, because it makes it so hard to write about things.
