Hey ho! Let’s go!
Though I scheduled this post a couple weeks ago, I’m an officially in South Korea by the time you’re reading this. I’m sure I’m having a great time.
We plan to do an overnight stay at a Buddhist temple and I’m most definitely going to load up on Korean beauty and skincare products. There’s also a chance some areas will still have cherry blossoms. Karaoke and ungodly amounts of Korean BBQ are on the agenda!

To all my fellow board gamers! There’s a game hitting Kickstarter in May that might be of interest to you: ApotheBakery. It looks very cute and I signed up to be notified when the campaign goes live. When it comes to board games, I definitely make purchase decisions based on aesthetics.

I went down an Anne Hathaway rabbit hole! Here is a segment of her watching some of her previous roles and I loved how seeing The Princess Diaries again makes her so emotional:
And of course, I was recommend even more Anne Hathaway content and proceeded to watch this conversation between Anne and Emily Blunt about their careers and friendship.

Malaraa in the SBTB Patreon Discord dropped a link of more Murderbot casting news! I know it’s hard to come back from the Alexander Skarsgard casting choice.
…
Enjoy this kitty being excited by the “rat music” of the Baldur’s Gate menu music. Do your pets react to any particular TV sounds?
…
Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
Happy Korea time, Amanda!
I’ve been pining for a murderbot series, but murderbot is femme to me. I hate it. WAAAAAAH.
I … don’t trust anyone to do a better job of Murderbot than my own mind and the audiobook narrator. So I don’t see myself watching it in the next ten years. (I hope they do a great job and the author gets all the kudos, it’s my brain that’s stubborn and suspicious.)
Oh, and I totally did that break-the-brush-into-the-tangle-of-split-ends-that-was-my-covid-braid last summer. Finally got a haircut in September. (I am nothing if not slow…)(After wearing my hair in a Dutch braid for three and a half years, I still don’t know what to do with it now that I have bangs and hair only to my armpits. Like I said, slow. And I just don’t care.)
This link itself isn’t so interesting, but its estimate that 160,000 people visited Vermont for the eclipse means that the state’s population temporarily increased by about a quarter. And of course that’s not evenly distributed — it presumably went up a lot more in the path of totality. I didn’t look into local numbers but I read elsewhere that St. Johnsbury’s population doubled. https://www.wwlp.com/eclipse-2024/220000-people-traveled-along-northeast-path-of-totality-to-watch-total-solar-eclipse/
