Since we only have two entries this week, I'm declaring a mini-amnesty for the remaining two days! If you have any fills for Summer Vacation, please feel free to post them any time up until Wednesday, July 2 at 9pm US Eastern Time. Challenge #265 will be up at the usual time.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Sacsayhuaman is a massive Inca fortress, called the House of the Sun, on a hill top above Cusco. We were taken up their on our first day in Peru, walked around the site and then walked back down into Cusco.

It is quite a thing )

Same, Leo. Same.

scifirenegade: Herr Veidt lying down on a sofa. No idea what he's thinking. (connie)
[personal profile] scifirenegade
Women are evil and christianity is cool. Or so Flesh and the Devil tells me.

Typical American 1920s self-righteousness aside, one can see where each and every characters are coming from.

Spoilers for an almost one-hundred-year-old movie
I am forever angry at Leo trying to strangle Felicitas, though. That bit was brutal.


One thing you'll see in hardcore Veidt girlies is that, once you experience Die Veidt (TM), you are pratically immune to everything that is remotely sensual. Nothing can top him (this sentence is hilarious). And yes, that man is made of sensuality and bones. If you've been here long enough, you know how I feel about him.

Anyway, I howled at the screen every time Greta Garbo and John Gilbert were doing whatever this. (Not seen here, that cigarette scene)

(Also not seen here, the homoeroticism between Leo (that would be Gilbert) and Ulrich (Lars Hanson). They're bi4bi.)

Another film that could be solved with polyamory.

EDIT: Last Night in Soho. First half is ace. Great representations of the horrors of being a woman and the romanticisation of the past. Second part threw it all away for psycho-biddy shtick. The eleventh Doctor and Emma were there.

First of all, mea culpa! Time got away from me, and I had no idea I missed two weeks. I've been dealing with some health issues, but I expect things to be back on track, now. (And as always, there's no deadline so responses to old prompts can be filled anytime).

And this week's word is

Evagation



noun
eva·​ga·​tion ˌēvəˈgāshən

1. obsolete: a wandering of the mind

2. [Latin evagation-, evagatio] archaic : the act or an instance of wandering

Think about dreams… what do you think your characters dream about? Is it something pleasant or horrifying?

Knife tip geometry!

First things first: no, this is not a comprehensive list of knife tip geometries! There are so many of them - and most of them so highly specialized - that, if you need one of them, you know... XD So, in order to give a "beginner-friendly" overview, I've narrowed it down to four types that are common enough you may actually encounter them in real life without having to look for them in a specialized store.

blade-tip-geometries-kl

Let's look at these in some detail! (With the caveat that, of course, tip geometry is not the only thing that determines a knife's overall function. Material matters. Blade thickness matters. Grind matters. Handle design matters. Size matters. XD And so on. Really, this can only serve as a rule-of-thumb - but we have to start somewhere when trying to determine what a knife is for, right?)

Explanations of these four knife tips. )

Anyway... This (grossly over-simplified, I know) entry will hopefully help you identify what kind of blade you are dealing with, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and what tasks people will likely use it for. (None of this is intended as legal or professional advice; don't sue me, yadda, yadda. If you do dangerous shit with sharp objects, I'm not responsible.)

Our Inca Trail holiday actually started with three days spent in and around Cusco, the ancient Inca Capital. Our first day started with a walking tour of Cusco. Because of the various mix-ups with permits, this was with a guide called Arturo who should have been our guide for the whole trip, but wasn't.
