We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.
Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Hi, I would like to ask why every new topic and every new page piles up vertically in the form of posts in the main home page? I would like to have separate pages, for each separate category, and when the link on the page is clicked, it opens a whole new page instead of scrolling down the posts! I tried changing the template with other templates, it doesn't help...
I also looked in the settings: Select Journal Style / Customize Journal Style / Test Beta Features, but I didn't find a function to create separate pages anywhere.
I also looked in the CREATE menu, but there is no option to create a new separate page, only Post Entry / Edit Entries, but again I didn't find a function to create separate pages anywhere.
I would be glad if someone with more experience could help, thanks in advance!

The Ministry of Guidance and Other Stories by Golnoosh Nour

The Ministry of Guidance and Other Stories by Golnoosh Nour was excellent. It's a collection of modern, even rebellious, short stories offering a daily look at the Iranian culture.
One of the stories is called "Tehran Yaoi", which was most unexpected.
It's sometimes f/f, sometimes m/m, sometimes bi f/m.

Thursday night I finished reading Purrfect Trap by Nic Saint, which is the 15th book in the “Mysteries of Max” series of cozy cat mysteries.
Odelia thinks she has a big story to cover when a local meat market runs out of their beloved Duffer sausages. However, when several people go missing, along with most of the cats in Hampton Cove, she turns her attention to solving the disappearances. But this time, she’ll have to do it without the help of her own cats; they’re missing, too.
This was not entertaining; it was awful. I put two and two together early and hoped I was coming up with five, but no. I was correct in my assumption. The fact that nobody died (neither a cat nor a person) does not excuse the atrocity.
Favorite line: “It’s just like a serial killer to have some sort of weird cat fixation.”
Horrifying. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. It’s getting one star from me, because I can’t give it zero.

So I was keeping an eye on the new super-mouse for when it would be in stock. It was estimated to be in stock by the 30th, but that date has been moving around quite a bit, so I was checking it daily.
Two days ago, it was in stock. They had 25 of them. I ordered one immediately. (Parcel tracking info says I can expect it tomorrow.)
Because I was curious, I checked it again today. All gone. Not just 'out of stock, expecting more at this date' gone. It's gone!
Good thing I jumped on it as soon as I had the opportunity, because clearly it wasn't just me.
In other quite closely related news, the new computer is ready for me to move into, except for the tiny detail of my monitor being old and it turned out that an adapter was necessary because the cables are obsolete. Luckily Husband was able to source one as click and collect which he has just gone to pick up, and it's a very cheap item as well. Delayed the process by a few hours, though.
I do have plans to upgrade the monitor as well, but I don't want to do so yet. Come winter when we will likely begin the process of redecorating my room, there is also going to be some changes to the furniture, which means I might have room for a 2 monitor situation. I see little need to start replacing it until we know whether this is in fact the case, because the only thing wrong with the current one is a tendency to sometimes turn itself off completely instead of remaining on standby. This is mysterious and slightly inconvenient, but hardly a huge problem. Especially considering it's been in daily use for 15 years.

We have a 10-minute length trailer for Desire, or also known as ABO Desire, which is, yes, a Chinese Omegaverse drama which will be premiering on July 12th.
( 'THE WORLD'S FIRST OMEGAVERSE M-PREG DRAMA SERIES' )
( My thoughts based on the trailer. )
Needless to say, I was already looking forward to seeing this drama and then this trailer just furthered my excitement. I'm absolutely seated for this one.

Please enjoy my next chapter.
The next scene will probably go on for several chapters, so today's has become a little smaller and I hope you don't mind it.
Thanks for reading and thank you for taking the time to comment. It means the world to me. ♥

I finished reading Fundraising the Dead by Sheila Connolly last night. It’s the first book in her cozy “Museum” mystery series, starring museum fundraiser, Eleanor “Nell” Pratt.
As the fundraiser for the Society for the Preservation of Pennsylvania Antiques, Nell is busy organizing a grand gala that will hopefully woo more patrons to donate money. With only hours to go before the event, one of the board members contacts Nell, claiming that some items donated by her family have gone missing. Nell is certain the letters have merely been misplaced, but when she checks in with the archivist who has been logging the Society’s vast collections into the computer, she learns that other items are also unaccounted for. Nell vows to investigate further but she is hampered in her efforts when the archivist dies under mysterious circumstances the night of the gala. Worse, when Nell alerts the president of the society (the man with whom she’s been carrying on a discreet affair), Charles would rather keep things quiet than notify the authorities. As Nell digs into the disappearances, she finds more questions than answers.
Nell is a mature, sensible, and smart main character, if a bit naive. The plot was slow and methodical, not exactly exciting, but interesting. Nell’s “amateur investigation” had more to do with the missing items from the Society than the murder, which was a refreshing take on things. Characters were portrayed well. I’m not really sure how I feel about the book. I almost think that Martha “Marty” Terwilliger (the woman who first notified Nell of missing items) would have been a more compelling main character.
Favorite lines:
♦ “If I weren’t such a lady, I’d say we were in deep shit.”
♦ “You’ll never guess who’s downstairs.” // “I have no clue. The mayor? The head of the Philadelphia Museum? Brad Pitt?”
A good story, but not exactly entertaining. Average score of three.
