#old country store

[hometoursandotherstuff]

What a wonderful 1810 home/historic store in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The Clayton Store is now a second story residence, an attached studio, and a recreated country store from 1850 on the ground floor. 2bd, 1.5ba, $590K (a bargain!). Look at this place!

This is the residence on the 2nd floor.

How sweet is this kitchen?

Beautiful primary bedroom.

What great tile in the bath.

In this part of the home are the entrances to the store and studio.

The studio is up the stairs and the store (the back entrance) is straight ahead.

The studio. The current owner is a collector and a professional decorative painter.

Isn't the store fabulous? Look at this stove, the coffee grinder, the bins in front of the counter...

Here we have some squash and stuff behind the counter.

Dry goods dept.

Isn't this like living in a museum?

1.78 acres of beautiful land, too.

The rain was falling in ice-cold sheets. February weather can be the harshest in the mountains; rain so cold it should be snow. The wipers on Derrick’s car could barely keep up. The occasional shower of sleet only made his view worse. The memory of the fight he and his wife Heather had earlier that morning kept running through his mind. Her refusal to match his anger only enraged him more. Church…

Decay in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky by durand clark Via Flickr: Appears that this business survived for many years with many additions. That is until the state highway bypassed this section.

Don't you find the strict rules of society in Japan overwhelming for you and the kids?

not one bit

#i can’t express how safe i have felt here versus the US over the past several years specifically #no guns… good healthcare… clean environment… good childcare benefits… good food… #no strong religious chokehold permeating society #vaccines and masking aren’t a moral conundrum #functioning public transportation system #functioning postal system #don’t have to worry about people randomly yelling at you #many convenience stores open 24/7 #focus on seasonal eating so produce tastes better and you appreciate it more #i can walk the streets at night #in my city all childcare costs and child medical costs are waived up to 3 years old #cost of childbirth fully covered including a week long stay in the hospital after #you can drink the water #early public education has a focus on community and natural science #credit cards are automatically set up to autopay out of your bank account #my company does my taxes for me #did i mention no guns? #i could go on #like i have my philosophical issues with the country for sure but my base needs are covered and that means a lot as a parent

If you went on bakeoff with common American baking tools like a flour sifter and pastry blender, you would either be disqualified for cheating or win the whole thing...

#it always kills me that they are grating that butter and then blending it with their fingers #they sell pastry blenders in every big box grocery store in america #and the flour sifter #the kind that looks like a can with a lever #so so much easier than using a fine mesh strainer #like why don't you have this basic ass amish level tech in the old country

Alternate universe dream jobs:

Keeper of a quaint country post office

Writer of several sci fi and/or fantasy audio drama podcasts

#the other book i got from the bigger on the inside used book store was a copy of 'lark rise to candleford' #and just reading the intro made me realize just how intensely i would like to work for a quaint country post office #but only the quaint old-fashioned fictional kind #where people send each other letters and brown-paper-and-string wrapped packages instead of junk mail and bills #i love handing out letters to people #and doing so in a quaint picturesque country community would be the dream

ireland really is the last redeeming part of europe

#fray.txt #the only time i ever visited ireland #there was this old man sitting on this worn down chair in the middle of a street full of little stores #he greeted us enthusiastically and asked if we were english as we were coming the way of the ferry #he said he hopes we like ireland and have a good time - he was so kind and friendly #i grew up thinking going to ireland would get me yelled at and cussed at and i would be hated #but despite everything between our countries - everyone i met was so welcoming #ireland is a lovely place. i think everyone should visit #i realise it sounds odd to not assume we were welsh. i just assumed we looked very english LMAO

Notes on Kafka's trailer, "A Dramatic Irony", this'll include the obvious and the less so noticeable details. I'll be elaborating on and making use of these in the future, but for now— a little list for myself (and you?) on things I want to talk about. Oof, my dear girl, there is a lot to unpack about you and I still won't be done in a year from now: Edit: It ended up being long, but who's surprised, really?

— Background music. Entirely based on Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Most very accurately pick out 'Winter' as that's what it starts with and it's also immediately recognizable, but it actually transitions into 'Summer' just after about halfway through and beautifully ends in it. The inclusion of them both is one of HoYoverse's finest decisions musically.

— The usage of rose petals instead of blood. This one thrills me, because they add such an inherent romanticism to the concept of death, which is an ages old tale and concept (hey, do we want to tie in the beauty of how Blade craves its peace so desperately yet cannot obtain it and she cannot grant him it? I do), and it plays in beautifully to the concept of what 'fear' is usually most tied to, and how she doesn't feel it. Now what exactly are these petals of? If it's your regular red rose, then yes— it is likely referencing the intrinsic romanticism of death. I initially wondered if it could be the China rose, which would indicate longevity which could be hugely interesting but no. However, with the impending goal of 'seeking fear' and tying it directly into 'the value of life', I find the more traditional take of the red rose, a sign of intense passion/love, or a potential for the hope of passionate love, incredibly intriguing (my stance on the potentially implied ship with the MC is still where I stand, but another is creeping in through a lot of rationality and logic; because I do think that's how they plan on doing it— it's what makes most sense with implications made in her dialogue).

— Inspiration: Rorschach inkblot test. "What do you see?" It says at 0:15, and it threw me for a moment, until I looked around the text. The ink blot. Leave it paused for a second. What do you see? It's the Rorschach inkblot test. It hit me with the ferocity of a ton of bricks. For those not sure what I'm talking about, do a little search and you might have seen it used in television by some psychologists, it is a test to examine a person's personality characteristics and their emotional functioning, everyone may see something different in specific ink blots. When you leave it paused at 0:15 seconds in, that's the first card and it's called The Fear Card; intrinsically fitting, considering: "Elio said that I'm good at creating "fear", even though I don't know what it is." I didn't actually recognize the ink blot until I started typing this up and analyzed it again for the umpteenth time. I'm losing my mind, no, I've actually already lost it, because on further analyzing, I think the spider on the back of her coat also looks like it's been designed after the ink blot/card in question because it grows into a similar shape, though more so when it grows into the lines/threads of her Spirit Whisper that you see around the 1:13 mark. The entire sequence of ink blots at that timestamp give us an insight into what the guard sees that she's talking to, he sees his own death. /breathes very casually. God, I'm losing my mind, this might actually play so much more into her character. What do you see, she asks— Kafka, what do you see?

— She's so incredibly cultured. There are a lot of very classical but also archaic elements that play into the design of her character across the board. Classical music is so rarely used anymore, but it adds such a different level of sophistication to her character. Kafka stands out amidst most of the other characters, not because she's classier in general, but because they tie very old-fashioned and less used concepts into a very modern design and mold them into a perfect whole. The classical music and how she never foregoes this intense connection she has to it, the insane archaic katana versus the very modern uzis (ode to Devil May Cry, anyone? A pair of guns, one black and one white, and a katana? Along with having once worked as a 'demon hunter'? Capcom deserves the nods) and grenades, her attire especially between the coat, the high waist, the glasses and the dress shirt— but it's all beautifully put together in an incredibly modern outfit. She's so cultured, there's an intense class to her and I will not stop falling more in love with it with each passing day.

— Storytelling. 'Intermission', 'oneiric structure', 'MacGuffin', 'non- linear structure', 'fin', these are all firmly tied into the art of storytelling in film (and literature as well). Intermission is a pause in the midst of a performance. Oneiric structure refers to a structure of a tale that replicates something non-linear, so something relating to the dreamlike (oneiric comes from the Greek 'oeneiros', which means 'a dream'), think of... something surreal or distorted in reality, something that simply can't be real. MGuffin in a plot device that takes form of an a goal (an object, for instance) that is an important element in a story due to it being firmly tied to the story's characters, a driving force if you will (so for Kafka, you could see her pursuit of feeling fear). Non-lineaur simply means that a story does not follow an order of events that's necessarily chronological in terms of timeline. And 'fin' marks the end of a performance. I cannot stop being feral as to how consistent HoYoverse is with this. It isn't just referencing her trailer, or the overarching narrative of the game of Honkai: Star Rail, but also her character directly, terminology commonly used in film are in her trailer, she herself seems to be rather passionate about film (you receive a text from her regarding being alone in a movie theatre during the play of one, and she laments that there aren't more people there to watch), her eidolons being after musical terms tied to music that she thoroughly enjoys and is used time and time again to represent her. God. God.

— What some may note as being a clock counting down, is not a clock at all, but an elevator that represents a life counter. With each kill, the elevator descended one more level until it reached the ground floor. I've seen some make references to Inception and upon further glance, the reference can be intended. The 'floors' can be seen as being representative of the different levels or layers of a person's subconsciousness as she delves deeper and deeper, as she is inherently able to control and manipulate minds. God, Kafka, surely this isn't a power all from New Babylon have.

— Threads of silk; a Moirai reference tied in with the arachnid? "The silk is too fragile to be a threat, unless you're more fragile than the silk." We know she isn't fate itself, but we know, in essence, a puppeteer that ensures all sort of unfolds as Elio has foreseen, particularly with the Trailblazer, even if she trusts him/her to make the right decision. We know arachnids are far and wide associated with manipulation, which we know she's abundantly capable of and responsible for, but it goes infinitely further than that. Spiders spin webs of silk, threads of silk, threads of fate, destiny, this is an incredibly thorough and intricate character design that they settled on. Everything is so perfectly interconnected, it's absolutely unreal.
