No but why is the entire album Hometown Odyssey by Livingston so incredibly Lestappen coded?
And why is this making the fanfiction writer in the back of my brain stirring awake?

Spark plug replacement was performed on a Honda Odyssey this afternoon. The service was recommended due to mileage. The minivan has more than 155,000 miles on it.
A spark plug’s lifespan varies among vehicles and the manufacturer’s recommendations. They can also be impacted by other factors, such as carbon buildup.
The check engine light coming out, a car running rough at idle, and engine misfires can be symptoms of a bad spark plug.

Talking about Lestappen coded songs/albums: Last Man Standing by Livingston reminds me of them SO much (the entire album, Hometown Odyssey, actually, but particularly that song)
To quote just a few lines:
"I've been around the world, sever wonders, seven seas/But when all is said and done, you're the only thing I see, my love"
"I don't need the wind that's underneath your wings"
"Darlin', this is love, not war"
"You don't need to be the king/'Cause I just want the last man standing"
I'm absolutely obsessed
I'm not familiar with the song or album you're referring to, but both have now been added to my list of things I will listen to. 👀

FTP Video Game for ageres!
🐻Animal Crossing Pocket Camp🐻
You're the manager of a campsite and it's up to you to decorate and invite animals to have a successful camp! There's tons of cute animal and customization options and I really enjoy it. I will admit it is a game you need to give more attention to progress and there is in-game purchases but I feel like I can progress fine without spending money.
Tumblr media
🐰Tsuki Odyssey🐰
A laid-back game about a bunny moving back into her hometown only to discover he house had been robbed! It's up to you to slowly redecorate her house and to rekindle your friendship with the other townspeople. All the animals in town are very cute and it's an overall chill game where you don't have to check it very often
Tumblr media
💤Pokemon Sleep💤
You're a pokemon researcher who's looking to document sleeping pokemon with the help of Snorlaxes! It is a sleeping app rather than an actual game but there's quite a bit of interactable options, you can catch and evolve pokemon and feed your snorlax. I enjoy it a lot and it helps me know how much sleep I get and it gives me tips on how I can improve my sleep
Tumblr media
🌸Pikmin Bloom🌼
A cute walking tracker where your companions are Pikmin! You can discover new pikmin, have them find cute accessories, collect fruit, and much more! I was super obsessed with this one for a while and it's a great motivator for walking.

2am thoughts: First Impressions on the Titanic Officers
Disclaimer: these are totally random thoughts, and most of these are sort of from the 1997 movie, as you have already guessed (nevertheless I’m not the biggest fan of the movie because the romance is just not my cup of tea). My heart goes to everyone who were involved in this disaster, especially those who have lost their family members in the sinking.
Chief Officer Wilde
goofy ahhh middle name
wait so he’s the actual chief officer????
He looks like that one IKEA bear plushie (and coincidentally I named my own Henry)
100% will hug him
The way he crawled out of the water and blew his whistle in the 1997 movie makes me wished that he’s scooped out of the water 😭
Poor man leaving his tinies behind 😢
1st Officer Murdoch
scrunkly
He looks quite important in the movie
why does he have a lot of fangirls
he just looks like other moustache dudes bro 😭😭😭😭😭 (*am numb after seeing lots of moustache men from my WWI stuff)
2nd Officer Lightoller
awwww he looks sweet like look at his smiley eyes🥺🥺🥺
he looks like a Herbert more than a Charles
he badass, his entire life was an odyssey
oh wait why the fangirls😭😭😭😭😭😭 
 WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE THIRSTING OVER HIM I-
I’m calling him Lightsy😔✨
3rd Officer Pitman
Teddy bear🥺🥺🥺
he SMOL
Where is he in the movie????
4th Officer Boxhall
Very elegant-looking
Prettiest side profile
Awwww look at him at the life buoy🥺🥺🥺
Oooooh he’s from Hull
Give him hugs and kisses🥺
5th Officer Lowe
LOOK AT THIS GOOD BOI
MUST TRY NOT TO PET
awww poor little boi who was ignored on the ship when it collided with the iceberg 😭😭😭
this man got the amount of fans that he deserved
I totally agree with the amount of fangirls for movie Lowe tbh
Ahhhhhh is he the best boi🥺🥺
Let me pet him
LET. ME. PET.
6th Officer Moody
Oooooh he’s from Scarborough, think I’ve passed through his hometown when I took the train to Edinburgh
AWWWW LOOK AT THIS SWEET BABY
Poor young man who has sacrificed his life for others 😢
Please protecc him
PROTECC HIM AT ALL COSTS
He’s a Yorkshire boi, that’s why he got tea with him, period.
I will do a another one with the Marconi duo (Jack Philips & Harold Bride) and other crew members (including Thomas Andrews) if anyone wants a part 2!

✦     𝒊𝒊𝒊   ,   the   backstory   .
daphne's father was part of a rising band in the 90s , toured all over small venues in a couple of cities that the group slowly rose to a known local name in united kingdom. her mother on the other hand was a proper english woman , and was finishing a degree at oxford when they meet. while they may have been sickeningly head over heels with each other , everyone seemed to have been against the relationship. he was no proper lad , her mother's parents said , and she was a mere distraction , her father's bandmates countered. their liaison only strengthens however when daphne's mother left her life and cut ties with her family to join his tour.
it is where daphne was conceived , london that is , while her father's band toured around the bigger cities. and it had also become her upbringing— from the chaos backstage to the unpredictability of life on the road that it almost felt as though she was born to understand how it was to live a life with no structure. this life however did meet its problems , and the band members weren't seeing eye to eye , their priorities shifting especially daphne's father. eventually , the band broke it off by the time daphne was about to start school and finally decided they settle someplace where daphne wouldn't be under scrutiny.
america was an enormous adjustment for her parents , but daphne has instantly grown to love it especially when her father brings her to his gigs around new york. it wasn't the music per se , but rather the spotlight that interested daphne , and since then she knew she'd love to be on stage one day.
daphne's mother had hoped she would pursue something else other than something so ... unstructured. acting began as a hobby , still a quite harmless obsession , until she began skipping classes for shows and abandoning home for days for potential gigs which was very reminiscent of her father , a realm in which her mother has started to openly regret.
she had become quite the defiant child , very reckless and never thought of the possible consequences of her actions as long as she secures what she wants. she grew distant from her parents , and especially so when the divorce rolled in so suddenly and she moves to connecticut with her mother.
✦   𝒊𝐯.   ,   the   character notes   .
college was more than just pursuing her dreams , it's freedom , and she's intoxicated. daphne's known around school for her reckless behavior and her rampant involvement in school events. she's that girl everyone is familiar with as her gregarious persona relishes in mingling with anyone and everyone.
daphne's not one to be shy about her sexuality , and has slept with a number of students regardless of people's opinions. there's something very liberating about getting the attention she'd always been dreaming of since younger , and she takes advantage of her good looks to get what she wants.
genuinely loves writing , hence writing for the school paper , but since she exudes the common conception of a dumb blonde , people get quite shocked that she writes for the grey wolf gazette — and it only made sense for her to report on events where she's always found at.

A Basket Full of Sweets (Crunchy Chip Cookie x GN Cookie!Reader)
CW: cookie odyssey spoilers, ooc! crunchy chip cookie, overall contains fluff.
A/N: barely posting here due to my unpredictable sadness so writing for Crunchy Chip gave me so much serotonin.
*contains headcanons and a drabble
Tumblr media
‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵
For the sake of this story, let's imagine that Reader Cookie came from the Creme Republic.
I think that when the two of you met for the first time, you're in awe by the sheer size of his wolf companion. Sure that you saw many kinds of wolves and cakehounds but this one? That cream wold definitely won your heart due to his cuteness despite it's size.
The only problem is that you are a bit terrified of its owner. Dressed in so much fur, slicked back hair and eyes that would intimidate the other cookies in your hometown.
The first meeting wasn't so great due to you calling the cute wolf a "cute doggo", which pisses him for a little bit but his annoyance for you quickly subsided when you complimented both him and his wolf companion for being such strong protectors.
Your love for both the cakehounds and the wolves was so strong that you also own a cake hound yourself. Which the huge wolf became nervous when the petite creature began inviting him to play with them (they quickly became friends don't worry ;>).
After you and Crunchy Chip became fast friends, you also learned that this guy doesn't eat anything but bitter consumables from the kingdom where he came from after you offered him sweet jellybeans and warm milk for satisfy his grumbling stomach.
He was hesitant but nonetheless ate those sweet delicacies because he doesn't want you to be upset.
A huge tsundere but has a huge soft spot for you, no buts and what ifs.
And it didn't take long for you to have a crush on him I mean, he's intimidating, short, strong and a chatterbox but you couldn't help but admire him.
Unbeknownst to you, this tough cookie fell for you too ;)))
You keep on telling yourself that your crush towards him was just mere platonic. You admire, loved and sees the captain as a friend but your nervousness and beating heart says it all when he holds your body close to him during Dark Enchantress's attack in the Creme Republic. The way he holds your body close to him makes your checks very warm and red.
You thanked the crimson colored skies for covering your reddening face.
And you just accepted that you fell for your friend and loved and cared for him so much.
His protective nature is also one of his traits you deeply loved towards him. Even when he didn't know those cookies, he and his wolf still protected them and risking his life for them to be safe.
Call me cliché but when Crunchy Chip leaves you to be with the others in the safe zone, the both of you argue (you wanted to help since you didn't want to stand around, doing nothing), that's when he finally confesses his feelings for you.
"I don't want to see the one I loved being killed during the attack! Seeing you hurt and being turned into crumbs was the last thing I'll imagine to the cookie who accepts me for who I am! Just please, stay put and stay here. Do it for me please?"
So you stayed but only if he promises you that he'll be safe and returns to your arms safe. The captain only responded with a kiss on your forehead and smiled meekly before running back to joined the others.
And when the attack was over, you ran towards Crunchy Chip and hugged him tighter causing the both of you to tumble down. Yes, there's small cracks on his body but you didn't mind his injuries, for what matters to you that he was safe.
. ·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .
"I've packed some more sweets for you for your voyage for the Dark Cacao Kingdom. I hope this is enough for you and to your cream wolf." You handed him a basket of your freshly baked pastries and puddings that serves as your farewell gift to the cookie who returned your feelings. It was such a bittersweet moment for the bit of you and despite staying in the Creme Republic for a few months (I know that they stayed there for days but for the sake of this story, they stayed there for months), He ensures you that he'll write you so many letters that he'll poured out those feelings just for you.
"Are you sure that you'll be okay here? You can come with me if you want." You shook your head and hugged him tightly, knowing that this will be the last time you'll be giving him some physical affection. He gladly returned the gesture.
"I'm fine, be careful out there, wolf man. I don't want hear the news that your name will be one of the altars from the place you lived in."
"Hey don't worry about me. Remember, I survived with bitter items and the raging snowstorm back there at the Dark Cacao Kingdom. I'll write for you as soon as I returned home, sweet cheeks."
Unknowingly, the king himself went past you and Crunchy Chip and caught him kissing you (again) on the top of your head while holding both of your hands. "I heard that the port for the airship was damaged from the raging battle moments ago and I can see that a cookie had won your cold heart, Captain."
This startled Crunchy Chip Cookie. He turns around to see his king watching the sweet commotion in front of him. Embarrassed, he apologizes for being so soft and letting his guard down in front of him. "There's nothing to worry about, Crunchy Chip Cookie. Who's this cookie that made the captain in this... kind of state of happiness?"
You took a step forward and bowed this king out of respect. "It was such an honor to meet one of the ancient heroes. I'm Reader Cookie and your captain's frie-"
"Lover! This cookie is my lover, my king!"
He cuts you off, holding your hand with his as he proclaimed to Dark Cacao that you're his significant other. You look at him in shock, stomach buzzing as the butterflies on your stomach became uncontrollable and the warm feeling of love can be felt from the two of you. Seeing his face with determination and pride as he tells his king that he had another reason why he continuously trained hard, not only to guard the kingdom's walls also to protect you with all his might.
And one day, he'll take you back on the Dark Cacao Kingdom to start a life together.

my favourite odyssey retelling is that one fic trope where a deadbeat father comes back to his hometown after 20 years and hooks up with a slutty twink at a bar only to realize the morning after that the twink is his son

Favorite place you’ve traveled to/visited? Place you would visit asap if you could?
Some of my favorite, most nostalgic memories have been traveling to cities and towns along Sagami Bay in Kanagawa, Japan, such as Kamakura and Fujisawa. In particular, one afternoon I finished work early and was on the train home when I suddenly decided I was going to ride it to the end of the line, which brought me all the way to the entrance of Enoshima island. And so I spent the rest of that day on an impromptu sightseeing trip, climbing the island hill, enjoying the nature (it was cherry blossom season) and when I reached the top I got to sit on a balcony with a beer to watch the sun setting behind Mt. Fuji and it was probably the best day ever :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Places I would visit ASAP if I could: my mom’s house 🥺 and my old hometown where I grew up so I can see what everyone there has been up to 🥺 And maybe since it’s obligatory at this point: Greece… or maybe more broadly I would want to go on like, a journey around the entire Mediterranean where you hit all the key locations from the Iliad and the Odyssey… tours like that exist, right? An Achilles tour, an Odysseus tour, a Helen tour… 😆

A Honda Odyssey needs a new battery and alternator. This vehicle stopped running while it was being driven.
Our technician found that the alternator has an output of slightly more than 10 volts. It should be over 13 volts.
It’s generally a good idea to replace a battery when the alternator is failing. A bad alternator can cause the battery to become overworked. The vehicle will only run on a battery for so long before it shuts off.
