Now more pop with Louise and her CD Heavy Love. Well, my CD since I bought it. And I got some nice signed photo cards with it since I preordered it. I was (am) a big fan of her back in the day and I gladly supported her releasing a new CD after all that time. Then covid got in the way a bit of the comeback, but it'll be alright.

The time when she started her solo career, after leaving Eternal, was the time when you had to order video clips to be played on tv by phoning a premium phone number entering a code you could look up on teletext. At the time I knew the code for Let's Go Round Again from the top of my head...

Let's see what more Katie Douglas projects I have access to, for the Birthweek Rewatch. Annoyed I can no longer watch Mary Kills People, her performance in that was amazing, though smallish. But there's always Defiance. I'm rewatching the minisodes that came between S1 and 2, because I think that was mainly her as young Irisa. And if not, it's always worth it to watch Defiance.

And finally there's Creeped Out, where Katie plays in the season 1 finale double episode Side Show. It's the only remaining thing I can think of that I have access to. If you don't mind watching kids tv, and I don't since some of the greatest tv is kids tv and adults do themselves a disservice excluding it from their entertainment intake, you can see a performance of Katie that is perfect for the reveal at the end. So you'll have to watch it at least twice to appreciate it fully.

It opens with the circus ringmaster introducing the show and I'm fully expecting someone in the audience to shout out "where's the elephant!". No, I don't make references that can be understood except by a very select few.

Continuing with the French language songs, playing Vanessa Paradis's second CD Variations sur le meme t'aime.

Continued with episode 1x03 of Ginny & Georgia, which has a substory with Katie's character Abby, something even her closest friends know nothing about.

Sometimes I put stuff in the image descriptions that maybe should have been in the main post, but I just thought of it later. That, and Twitter gives you way more characters for the image description...



Today Katie Douglas turns 23! Happy Birthday!

Katie is an extremely talented actress. If you don't know her, she's the lead in Level 16, a great film with a great performance, or see her make a supporting role memorable in the tv series Defiance, Mary Kills People and Ginny & Georgia.

I found some photos of her in various roles and publicity shots.

Apparently a Google search for photos of her turns up my own tumblr blog. Yeah, I may have mentioned her before...

(The above photos are not my screenshots. I'll repost these one day from the originals, not the tumblr resized ones)

Just finished 'binging' (spread over three days) season three of You on Netflix. It's no S2. It lacks the connection with reality the character Ellie was providing. It's my theory that viewers need another character to connect with if the narrator is a serial killer. #YouNetflix

in reply to Gidi (@twitter)

Maybe the character Theo was meant to be that, but he was hardly in touch with reality himself. Anyway, they kept the Ellie storyline open so there is much hope for season 4. #YouNetflix




Very excited for this!! What a pleasure it was to work on and what a professional team working against all odds during a pandemic and in and out of lockdown. Out on #Netflix on 31st December. #StayClose #actor @REDProductionCo

Ah, the two approaches. Neither of them very satisfactory.


"Filters, what filters? Just look at the pictures."
-- Tinder

Well yeah, who cares about whether she has children or her politics if you're only going for a hookup.

The thing happened again that happened before but for which I have no solution: /run on the server was full due to efs slowly filling it. Just remounting clears it, but some mounts are in use by applications so I can't just remount everything. Anyway, stopped the apps since they weren't responding anyway so I could remount all. Now the worker queue is handling the backlog.


Me to myself: remember to not throw coffee over a wooden table.

As if I did that on purpose.

Now this app is claiming 'technical difficulties' when it can't find any matches for me. Wish I thought of that myself, not being able to find anyone and just blaming it on technical difficulties. Like Network Error.

This is why people / I keep ordering from amazon instead of local shops:

Amazon site in my country: Yes, we have this book in stock and can send it to you, free shipping
Main web shop in my country: This book is not released yet. Also, there will be shipping charges
Local book store: You must be kidding, this book does not exist

It's weird and I don't have an idea yet what could be behind it, but somewhere between 19-30 August hashtags stopped being received on posts coming in from some accounts. Doesn't seem to be one server that's the problem, or one hashtag. So far I find some Mastodon accounts that no longer have working hashtags in their posts, but most Mastodon accounts are ok...

Edit: it's the creation time of the post that matters, not the time it is received.
Edit edit: the issue is local to my server; on other servers the same posts, accounts and hashtags work fine.



Vandaag heeft @xs4all de catch-all van de email adressen dus echt uitgezet. Terwijl ze zeiden dat je alleen aliassen moest aanmaken voor je extra adressen, blijken ze ook je hoofdaccount te blokkeren tenzij die op 'xs4all.nl' eindigt.

@gidikroon @xs4all Ik ben voorzichtig optimistisch dat het lijkt dat ik weer kan mailen via mijn iPhone… 🙌 morgen toch maar even bellen. Adres was sinds 14 uur “kwijt” en het zou toch wat zijn als dat vaker gebeurd. 🙃
Sterkte met alles wat jij nog moet regelen!
