On this beautiful #OnlyOneBedCanonizationDay, I will tell the story of when my irl cdrama bff and I went to London together to watch a play.
She had booked a hotel room for us.
We got to the hotel, checked in, and went up to the room.
There was Only One Bed!
"There is Only One Bed!" she cried, being first through the door.
"We'll have to go back down to the desk," I said, like a worldly person.
"Is there a problem with your room?" the receptionist asked.
"No," we said, "except that there is Only One Bed!"
She tapped at her computer. "It seems there's been a mistake with your room."
"Can you give us another room?"
"No," she said. "I cannot, because there are no other rooms available in the hotel! It's because of the Marathon, you see."
"I'll sleep on the floor!" I said, hand on my heart.
"But your back!" said my bff. "I—" she put two hands on her own heart—"will sleep in the bath!"
"... Please don't sleep in the bath," said the receptionist.

Someone else shared this on here a while ago, and I bookmarked the link to do ‘at some point’, because I only use Windows for video games and I wasn’t playing anything then. Today our internet was acting up and, consequently, so was my Windows login 😠, so I found the link. It took about twenty seconds to fix, haha.

If you have a Windows computer and it forced you to make a Microsoft account to log in to it, here’s how to switch that account to a local one: https://web.archive.org/web/20240612104753/https:/support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-from-a-local-account-to-a-microsoft-account-395203bf-9f1b-eb24-b042-5b8dae6c1d20
This used to be in the Microsoft support docs, but at some point last year they removed it. Thank you, Wayback Machine!

Me, dangling Xiao Xingchen over a coffin like a magician holding a rabbit: "Sorry, I can't hear you! Guess I'm just gonna have to stuff him back in the coffin again!"

But what about the fic you received, villainous friend? WELL. You ever have the thing where someone plucks a thread from your very heart and keeps pulling until they have a whole novella wound up on their spool? No?

SXX Exchange update: I truly suffered through my family celebration yesterday, convinced that my fic was actually terrible, disjointed, nonsensical, full of infodumping and empty of vibes (but I did not suffer too much, because there was cake and also a baby). After reveals, I suffered even more acutely until my recipient said that they liked it!
I have now read it three times, having not been able to read it all the way through in its final state before posting, and I feel like it’s pretty good.

@Forestofglory the trailer for the drama looks exactly not your kind of thing (lots of blood and violence), but I wanted to make sure you saw the link about the novel!

LB: Riverside Code at Qingming Festival is a cdrama based on a novel that is inspired by the famous painting, Along the River During the Qingming Festival! https://mydramalist.com/71769-qing-ming-shang-he-tu-mi-ma
Someone in the MDL comments linked to this article about how the author, Ye Wenbiao, was inspired: https://u.osu.edu/mclc/2015/04/02/historical-thriller-based-on-famous-painting/. Ye says he will eventually write about all 824 people in the painting.
Wikipedia has a full-size scan of the painting if you want to try it yourself! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Alongtheriver_QingMing.jpg

(I had this vague idea of theming my DecRecs around nonfiction books and papers I've enjoyed, but then yesterday I practically forgot it was even the start of the month, and I found myself reccing this podcast to @soph_sol so let's just include it. 🤷)

For #DecRecs, I want to start off with a #podcast I'm enjoying: the Chinese Lore Podcast https://chineselore.com/ 📚 🎙️
Host John Zhu retells classic stories from #ChineseLiterature in English, and he's been doing it for ten years now! I've only been listening to his current, ongoing series, Investiture of the Gods, but he's already completed Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I really appreciate his humorous tone—he's not afraid to call it out when this highly influential story gets repetitive or absurd, just keeps things moving. It's a great way to make important stories more accessible!
The website also has transcripts for every episode, maps and character lists. ❤️
