what the nut, livejournal?
Had a lovely weekend of autumnal good times with friend!Corey - went to crafternoon at the NYPL (I would be on board based purely on the name, tbh) and made little quilted coasters! I had to depend a lot on Corey for guidance - both because she was ahead of me and could pay better attention to the instructions and also because she was just following better. XD But I finished, eventually! Here is a picture, I think it's super cute: https://twitter.com/ambitiouspants/status/384128462979485696/photo/1 (Here is Corey's, with a view of what mine looked like after the alloted time ended: https://twitter.com/ambitiouspants/status/384075844068462593/photo/1 It took me 3 episodes of Sports Night to catch up.)
And Corey made us pumpkin risotto and I have finally seen Road to El Dorado (super duper fun, and as slashy as advertised), and for breakfast we had crepes with apple slices fried in butter and cinnamon and it was SO. GOOD. (Corey made the crepes and did all the frying, but I chopped an abundance of apples! This was also our technique for the apple crisp we made later. XDD) (Celebrating autumn properly involves a lot of eating. Also Corey jumped in with her Smith-acquired skills at using up loads of apples after excessively enthusiastic apple-picking expeditions.)
On Sunday we went to the medieval festival at Fort Tryon Park, which was fun but also incredibly overwhelming! It was way more crowded than the last time we went... which I'm assuming was last year but may have been a couple years ago. There were kind of too many people to really be able to experience much. On the other hand, just looking at the people and all the amazing costumes is probably the best part of the experience anyway, and it was pretty great! Corey's teeny pooch Millie did not really enjoy herself, and slept all afternoon, but that was for the best because we watched Radioland Murders, which is a George Lucas film that came out in 1994 and is TERRIBLE. Especially the lead actor. We were totally betrayed by the Netflix reviews and decided to give it a try - it had 3 1/2 stars there but I think that showed up as 4, but it has only 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. Get it together, Netflix reviewers!! Oh well. So yeah, now I can warn you all - interesting concept, terribly executed.
All right, mostly I'm just making this entry as a test because my previous entry has disappeared? It's not showing up on friend's lists, or my journal when you actually go to guingel.livejournal.com, and my calendar says there's no entries that day. Even more annoying/weird/unsettling, when I click on the edit link it says no such entry exists!! But when you click the address, it loads. Anyone have any clue what might be going on with LJ there?
... if you can even see this entry? [edit: ok, it appears to exist... for the moment! At least it's not a chronic problem? Fingers crossed!]
