Peter Plymley's Letters And Selected Essays by Sydney Smith

Primary source. And polemic. Smith writing on the treatment of Ireland and the laws against Catholics, and reviews of books on Ireland. Sometimes very skillfully:

"When I hear any man talk of an unalterable law, the only effect it produces upon me is to convince me that he is an unalterable fool."

It is useful as a view of the issues -- one notes he heartily assures everyone he shares their views of the terribleness of the Catholic Church -- and of the era in general. He quotes one author, who discusses how one explanation of Ireland's backwardness was its elective kings, but points out that Poland also suffered horribly from the kingship being elective but wasn't so backward. Ah, the views one wants to research, sometimes.

Using my movies boardgame.

I completed 7/7 movies from my last challenge and rated 'Night of the Reaper', 'Aquamarine' and 'The Quest for Camelot' the highest at 4/5 stars!

Avatar:

Mystery (Hercule Poirot)
Skill: Move one extra tile once (trap tile if even roll)

Roll #1

A 5, prompt: lowest rated on PTW oh boy...it's Elevated Game which is sitting at 1.6/5 stars.

Roll #2

A 3 and the 'generate from PTW list' tile. A #69 hah and Interesting, it's a movie called Climax,

Roll #3

A 9 and the trap tile, skill didn't work. :/ Alright, 8 now and thriller prompt. Primate. The horror movie youtuber I follow reviewed this and she's scared of monkeys. XD

Roll #4

A 7 with skill. Prompt: adventure. I am going to finally watch Wendell & Wild.

Roll #5

...I shouldn't have used my skill. A 7 and the trap tile again. :( A 4 now, prompt: highest rated on PTW this time lol. Oh, it's something I just added recently - Song of the Sea!

Roll #6

A 7, prompt: non-American centric, let's see what we got... How about I finally try watching Pan's Labyrinth. I've been putting it off because I'm afraid it'll put me in a mood.

Roll #7

I am hitting all the bad tiles today. *whiiiine* A 10 and generate from PTW AGAIN. #81 which is that holiday movie with Kristen Stewart, Happiest Season.

Roll #8

Oh NOW you give me a 12. Reward...hm, I want to rewatch Ne Zha in preparation to watch the 2nd one!

Greenland ('20): It's weird that I had not heard/seen this before but ah well. There were a couple of extremely tense moments. I feel like there was a lack of urgency in some scenes from background characters. Not the most original movie but I will definitely watch the second one to see what happens to them down the line. 3/5 stars

10.0 Earthquake ('14): Ah, I've seen this. I'm getting tired of family drama disaster movies. And the daughter with a gross love interest/friend. It had a few good points though. 2/5

Night of the Reaper ('25): The twist did manage to surprise me a little, probably because I'm not one to try to figure things out on my own, but it made sense, although the killer reveal should've been a flashback when she said 'I followed you after the funeral'. Would watch again. 4/5?

The Invitation ('15): Guy and his girlfriend along with their old friends are invited to the house he used to live in with his wife and kid until he died in an accident and she cheated on the guy with someone at her grief meetings. Come to find out, the ex-wife and her new boyfriend are in a cult together and acting strange. Turns out they almost poisoned them all to death. Not sure if it was going to be a murder/suicide or if they were just going for the friends. I ended up skimming after a certain point.

Aquamarine ('06): I've seen this movie on lists with stuff like She's the Man etc as ~cultural relics~ so i figured I should watch it lol, Two absolutely boy crazy girls encounter a mermaid who has to prove love exists to her father or be forced into an arranged marriage. They teach her through magazines like Cosmopolitan how to attract one guy in particular. Contains bad acting at times and plenty of cringe situations. 😂 I like the thing with Bonnie and Leonard. It has the whole 'true love can be platonic' thing like Frozen. You know what, I did enjoy this , can't resist 'friendship is love', 'people aren't always what you expect' not to mention 'parents are people too'. => I only sorta knew one song. I feel like I would rewatch it. 4/5 stars

Coherence ('13): I know you're supposed to be confused but I prefer a more clean-cut ending. 2/5 stars 

Quest for Camelot ('98) (rewatch) - Man, why wasn't that Ruber cut off the second he started being nasty. The music lyrics for the Camelot song were so straightforward. XD I don't understand what killed Lionel, was it the fall itself? Does the horn sounding only mean 'Excalibur has been stolen'? What do they do if Camelot is being attacked? Turns out I remembered "I Stand Alone" really well!There are plenty of references in this movie including Star Wars. Overall had a great time, I look forward to rewatching more animated movies!

Have a cute dragon picture!

I saw some videos yesterday that said, "hey here's some stuff you can do to make life feel more manageable."

1 - take action

it doesn't have to be big or meaningful, just deliberate, like deep breathing or washing the dishes. it's okay to choose to be a witness if you have that capacity (and choice). it's also beneficial to recognize what you can control and what you can't. "just because you can't do everything doesn't mean you can't do anything."

2 - be persistent

little things are always valuable, and their effect grows every time they're repeated. maybe it doesn't mean much today, but after you've done it for a hundred days, you'll be different and that matters. "meditation is like walking in a mist. you may not feel anything, but if you keep it up, eventually you'll get wet."

extra note: number of repetitions can have a bigger impact than total volume. doing something for a short time over and over again may produce more change than doing something for a long time once. "if someone receives a single rose every day for 12 days, surely it has more impact than receiving a dozen roses once."

3 - practice gratitude

write down the good things, no matter how small. the point is to shift focus from what you can't do or have, to what you can or do. "what you give your attention to grows."

the other video said "balance doesn't happen by itself." And I was like, "well it does, that's the nature of equilibrium, it's just not necessarily the balance you want." so keep moving. that's how we figure out, not just how to create a balanced state, but how to maintain it.

...also, these were originally language-learning tips. I find them broadly relevant. "the way you do anything is the way you do everything."

It might've been the last snow of the season this morning. A light dusting, enough to make me think a coat would've been nice and not too much to make me need more than a sweatshirt. It was nice to feel the last bits of cold, especially since the sun was out a couple of hours later, so nothing much stuck around. Few people were at the market, which made it easier - I haven't been to the Sunday one in a while, and as anemic as this time of year is for produce, it's nice to see some depth of color when it comes to the root vegetables.

In other shopping news, from working in assorted doctor's offices, I found a good quality bandage brand, and online shopping being what it is, I had to resort to eBay for a couple boxes. Most medical supply places call for a minimum order of significantly more than a couple boxes of bandaids, which I understand, and convenience pushes me towards eBay because that's all I need right now. It was that or Amazon, and I'm slightly more trusting of eBay as a general institution.
