A book about the only known person to have been born in a North Korean concentration camp that managed to escape.

His life in the camp, his escape, and his transition to a normal society is pretty insane.

Since he was born and raised in the camp, he believed the rest of the world was the same, so he had no desire to escape.
It was only when a man who lived on the outside came into the camp, and told him stories of the outside world that made him want to escape.

Good lord, those are pretty. I probably can't afford anything from that shop but I intend to check it out anyway.

Two posters. Images from Wikipedia, then some company printed them with Epson 9900 for me. Frames from Ikea. Posters 38€ & frames 33€. Hopefully the paper doesn't warp too much due to humidity changes, since I didn't want to triple the price by getting the paper glued to backing.



I'd order more if I knew where to find high resolution photos. The first one was 86mpix and the 2nd one 174mpix

Maids By Trade.
It was around $380 for four hours with two cleaners and it was a deeeeeep clean. They did a free consultation a few days before.
To do a standard cleaning with some extras we picked it would be about $160 each time.

It's so, so, so worth it.

I bought a bunch of glittery fancy pants stuff from Michael's Crafts because god dammit, if you're coming over to my house to do roleplaying games you are going to make silly nametags for yourselves and there will be trinkets and poo poo and potions in real vials, etc.

Also this! (Tash-Kalar, 2nd Edition, and both the Expansion Decks - yay frost people!)

It's more solid than you'd think, I'd guess around 3 lbs? Maybe 4? Back has a little coin thing that says handmade, and hanging hook

I'm still surprised it's handmade and shipped from Greece for that price

Breverton's Phantasmagoria - a compendium of monsters, myths and legends.

I'm working on a project that means I can write this off as 'research' but I mostly just thought it looked cool.

I bought a new iron because the old one was starting to rust and gently caress up my shirts.
Irons, despite their name, should not rust!

I bought this Amazon Basics waterproof speaker for a couple months back

I use it to listen to podcasts in the shower / when getting ready for work. It does the job, seems to actually resist the water

I also bought a bigass bag of sweet myrrh.

You'll just have to imagine the smell. It's kinda like....spicy vanilla dr. pepper wood.

All Japanese rice cookers have lines marked because in Japan people wash the rice first which makes it difficult to measure the total water just using a measuring cup.

Personally I don't usually bother washing California grown Japanese style rice but I do wash long grain rice that might have been in the south (to hopefully reduce possible arsenic).
