In response to "Murder in the Sun"

I loved Nathan Fillion as the detective novelist and crime fighter wannabe in castle. I watched the drama you'd like to be in and it can be entertaining. Why not? Crime fighting and beach time is a win-win.

I must be out of the loop - I don't recognize any of the references you made. Tells you I don't watch regular TV much.

I love Nathan Fillion! Have you been watching The Rookie? He is absolutely wonderful but I wonder if he would be so much of little boy in man's clothing that he would be an ass?

I notice that you didn't choose to be one of the victims... If you did you could change locations every week.

In response to "Behold! Beards!"

Those facial hair trends have 'cool' names, too. You mentioned Hipster, but there's The Lumberjack also. Some men are known as metrosexual. The fashion comes with a moniker. Yes, who decides what is and isn't cool? Often the fads seem ridiculous.

In response to "Behold! Beards!"

I look better with a short beard but for the last year and two months it hasn't mattered. I've gone between full bush and clean shaven. When my skin acts up I shave it off. It's been 19 months without a haircut. I could chop it off and have a friend trim it but... it doesn't matter.

It's interesting how at certain stages of life everything matters. I'm not in that stage at the moment.

In response to "Bath Books"

I have never had a Bath as opposed to a bath. I only remember a couple of times I lit candles. These days I don't have baths, just showers. But they feel pretty good, too. I like the idea of your Baths and bath books.

In response to "Bath Books"

I'm with you, reading induces relaxation and in turn calms me down. Fairy-cake novels are too sweet for me, but I like your moniker for romances.

In response to "Bath Books"

I was the one who mentioned it and although it received some positive feedback the suggestion was not put in place. It's one of the reasons I didn't join this month's challenge and may not bother in the future. I'm tired of prompts that trigger my traumas, although I did okay in March.

I took a hot soak and turned the lights off. Very relaxing, although a scented candle would've been better.

I have to use the bathtub downstairs which has no place to place anything. I don't dare take anything other than a used paperback ...

But yes, a long deep soak with a book.

In response to "Bring Back Latin...?!"

Latin is okay but limited (helps with Romance and Celtic languages, less with Germanic and Slavic, used in certain fields). Chinese characters are much more useful and translate well into English in ways that Latin doesn't.

The US is so fortunate to have imigrants from every corner of the world. Many mono-lingual Americans would disagree but English while useful is not an easy language.

In Taiwan many people know and speak Mandarin but I prefer to say thank-you in Hokkien (do sia) or Hakka (si mu ni).

I think and dream in Spanish. It took a long time for that to happen.

The Sound of Music

Challenge: What artist or band do you always recommend when someone asks for a music recommendation?

That is such a loaded question - I really try hard to suggest artists or bands that I think might appeal to the questioner. And my absolute favourite artists are, well, something of an acquired taste. There are a couple of local bands I try and promote (y'know, back in the day when live music was still a thing...), but obviously that only works within my immediate area. There's one local band I particularly like and got to see loads last summer (Best Beloved arranged them and a pop-up bar at his family's holiday park and the weather was good enough for festival vibes, even with social distancing).
