29 December 1961

John Lennon valiantly avoids picking a fight with some jazz bros who are on the bill with them at the Cavern Club.

They weren’t playing our type of music and we weren’t playing theirs. I know John Lennon later said that jazz was shit, but he wouldn’t have dared say it to our faces. I’m an ex-Commando, Bob [Frettlohr] is ex-para and Martin Boland is an ex-rugby league professional with a very short fuse.

John Cook, trumpeter, Yorkshire Jazz Band (The Cavern, Spencer Leigh)

Tick Tock Day

Tick Tock Day is celebrated on December 29 of every year. Tick Tock Day will remember us that only two days are still left in the year. If you have any work that has to be finished in this year or you have to accomplish a big thing in this year, then this day will remind you that, there are things still left that have to to be done and the year is almost going to end.

“Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the minutes are going by. The past increases, the future decreases. Possibilities are decreasing, regrets mounting.” – Haruki Murakami

History of Tick Tock Day

The exact origin and the founder of Tick Tock Day are still unknown. This day is an unofficial holiday, and no one can deny the fact that this day exists. It is a perfect day to look back what had transpired during the entire year. It also urges us to finish the work that can be done in that two days and reminds us how much of work can be done in the minimum amount of time.

People will celebrate this day by completing their tasks which are unfinished on that day. It is also a perfect time to look back on the year’s accomplishments. It will help you to shape your resolutions for the upcoming year. For More Positivity, just think about on this way after today there are two days are left in the year. That is 48 Hours otherwise 2880 minutes, or it seems bigger when you prefer 172800 seconds. With that, you can achieve a lot of things that have to be finished in that year.

How to Celebrate Tick Tock Day

Tick Tock Day will give you one last chance to pick some of the goals that you have not been accomplished in that year, and to finish those goals or achievements before all starts over again with a distinct set of resolutions. It also reminds you to get out there and make sure that you have not left the year behind you full of Discomfort.

Phil: Would you like some snacks? Would you like some snacks? Federation Worker: [Throws Phil some apple juice.] Phil: Oh, thank you for the snacks! I was gonna give you some stuff, hold on. I've got some things. Here is- oh you know what, hold on, let me see if I can make you- oh!Tres leches! Here, take some of this. [Throws them a tres leches cake] Federation Worker: [Claps] Phil: Your reward, since the Federation clearly don't pay you enough to deal with our BS. Federation Worker: [Does a backflip] Phil: YOOOOOOOOOO—

q!Philza's distrust of the Federation vs. cc!Philza's instant empathy for and solidarity with literally any minimum-wage worker is one of my favorite things.

Animal of the Day!

Brant (Branta bernicla)

(Photo by Beko Binder)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Canada; Alaska; Eastern Siberia

Size (Weight/Length)- 2 kg; 65 cm; 120 cm wingspan

Diet- Eel-grass; Seaweed; Sea lettuce

Cool Facts- While lesser known than the Canada goose, the brant deserves just as much love. These geese never leave their coastal home, sticking to the saltwater. Brant feast on aquatic plants, using salt glands in their nares to excrete excess salt through their boogers. Brant used to exclusively feast on eel-grass, until 1931 when eel-grass almost went extinct due to a slime mold infesting the waters. The brant population dropped massively, at least until they learned that sea lettuce and seaweed made a great diet substitute. Today, they number half a million individuals.

Rating- 13/10 (Was once classified as a fish rather than a bird, I’m not joking.)

Prompt - Ticket

@jegulus-microfic December 29 Word count 671

“Where’s my ticket?” James grumbled as he scrolled through hundreds of emails, trying to find it. He kept every single email he ever got. It drove Remus mad. “I swear it was so much easier when they sent you an actual real-life ticket.” He was still grumbling at his phone.

“It was only easier for you, James because they got sent to me, so you never had to worry where you put it. Honestly, if you’d had them we’d never have gone to any concerts.” Remus huffed.

James was still scrolling, only half listening to Remus. Remus had had enough. He plucked James’s phone out of his hand and used the search option in the email app. “There you go, and I’ve sent it over to my account as well and taken a screenshot of it. You have zero way of losing it now.” Remus looked up, “Though knowing you, you’ll still manage.” James chuckled fondly.

“Yeah, yeah. You love me, I know. Right, are we ready then?”

Remus grabbed James’s keys and wallet and locked up the flat before they set off for the bus stop.

It didn’t take them long to get to the venue. They were seeing a relatively new band, Fighting the Stars.

They somehow managed to get stood at the front of the crowd, almost touching the stage.

The band emerged from the sides, and the plinks and bangs of instrument checks started. Then, a long-haired, skinny man walked to the microphone. Remus let out a small gasp.

“Hello,” He said, his voice silky and smooth. “I’m Sirius, and this,” He gestured to the man with the guitar standing in shadow. “Is my brother Regulus, and we,” He swung his arms to show the rest of the band. “Are Fighting the Stars!”

They started playing. They were good, really good. James was bobbing along and enjoying the dramatic movements of Sirius as he belted out the lyrics. He turned to Remus to see what he thought. But he was stood still, his eyes locked on Sirius, enchanted.

James rolled his eyes and went back to watching the stage. Sirius had pulled the mic out of the stand and was trying to drag his brother forward. There was a slight scuffle between them. Neither missed a word or a chord, but in the end, Sirius won. Regulus wandered into the light. James felt his jaw drop. He didn’t think it was a real thing, just something films did to the main characters. But it happened.

Regulus caught him staring. He raised his eyebrows and gave him a little knowing smirk before winking at him.

James and Remus spent the rest of the set spellbound, unable to move.

Sirius called goodnight to the crowd as the band walked off stage. James and Remus’s heads followed the brothers until they were out of sight. They both let out a huff of air like they’d forgotten to breathe.

“Well, that was something,” James murmured. Remus couldn’t talk at all and just nodded.

Before they could say anything else, Sirius’s head popped back around the curtain. He looked right at Remus, waved and beckoned him over. Remus turned to James and shrugged his shoulders before scrambling up onto the stage and disappearing with Sirius.

James looked at the shadowy exit Remus left through, hoping, then sighed and pulled out his phone to text Remus that he was going home. When he looked back up, Regulus was watching him, barely visible. He didn’t come out past the curtain as Sirius had. James felt his heart skip a beat. Yet another film moment he hadn’t realised was real.

Regulus crooked one finger at him. As though an invisible line was attached to his navel tugging him forward and towards the waiting Regulus, he started walking.

Oh well, he thought, I couldn’t have gone home anyway. Remus has my keys.

He followed Regulus into the back. He didn’t know if it was a good or a bad idea, but he was doing it anyway.

Le corsage brodé à même le tissu devant seulement blouse dans une haute ceinture drapée. Le décolleté est contourné d'une draperie formant fichu. Manche drapée ornée d'un entre-deux brodé. Sur l'épaule, couronne de velours semblable à celle de la jupe.

Ball gown or evening dress for young women. — This toilet is made of light orange windscreen or crepe de chine. Skirt fitted flush with the waist at the front, but rising to the middle of the back to give a bit of the Directoire movement. At the bottom of the skirt, large embroidered insert topped with a small crown of very soft velvet. The bottom of the skirt is entirely in velvet in a more intense tone than that of the dress fabric. The bodice embroidered on the fabric in front only blouse in a high draped belt. The neckline is surrounded by a drapery forming a fichu. Draped sleeve decorated with an embroidered insert. On the shoulder, velvet crown similar to that of the skirt.
