Sincerely Raunchy

Love Guide for Dumpees is a Korean movie about two people who are unceremoniously dumped by their true loves, who had to marry over an unplanned pregnancy. A teacher and a chef, the dumpees end up having a one night stand with near-tragic consequences (warning: the young lady makes a suicide attempt) before they become the unlikeliest of lovers. I've been hoping to watch this for a while now, but only just found it after a new search.

This is a very candid production about sex, with plenty of salty language and intimacy. The amount of all that actually startled me a little, because it's so much like Western movies that it doesn't even seem Korean. Yet I suppose that was the purpose. The actors do a very good job with handling what I'll guess were challenging roles, too. In spite of that, the relationship is almost endearing in its fervency, and how the romantic arch (yes, there is one) develops and plays out quite satisfying in the end.

I found this movie on Tubi, a free ad-supported movie and TV series platform that has just about every movie and series I've been looking to stream but couldn't find. Yes, there are plenty of commercials, but since Netflix does the same thing and I pay for that I'm considering giving up my account.

Goodwill Gamble #2 Arrives

My second Goodwill gamble arrived; this is one I paid ten bucks for last month. Just inside the lid was a big roll of plastic mesh that I think is for latchhook work. In the auction listing it looked like fabric to me, so that was unexpected. Someone at the seller's end was nice enough to put a note on this pinned fabric. I'll put on my gloves before I take it out to inspect it. The embroidered green fabric turned out to be 1-1/2 yards of sequinned and three-dimensional designer fabric. I'll guess this cost somewhere between $20.00 to $30.00 a yard, and it's in pristine condition. But here's a shot of everything in the lot, which is mostly crafty odds and ends with a small amount of cotton fabrics, a large amount of synethetic fabrics, and some other surprises. The original owner of these was probably a Catholic school teacher; these beads, crosses and medallions are the kind of rosary kits for kids to make at Sunday school or Bible camp (and s...

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.
