Oversleep Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Picked up my copy of Elantris. It's the glorious extended edition with lots of stuff. Went to a beer with friend. It was good. Friend had the present which didn't make it in time to my birthday party. So now I have the Watchmen with sketches and bonus material glorious edition. It was a good day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrunner Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I survived homecoming! The parade was good, we pulled off the marching routine, and my arms didn't fall off from holding up my baritone. Even the pep rally didn't manage to kill me. Our team won 64-0. All in all, it went quite well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I got to make a sheet of paper by hand today on a mini-field trip for my college course "History of the Book." That was fun. I also got some discounted froyo because a local yogurt shop was having a 50% off sale today. Frozen yogurt is always a good idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those American football things where a player does a particular gesture and people treat this 1-second move like it's a whole dance move. That's dabbing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents That's dabbing. The drum majors of our band actually put one into their salute. A little part of me dies every time they do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to many elements of American culture, the question "Why?" can often be answered with "Why not?" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That misogyny has been a part of western society for as long as anyone can remember, though, to varying degrees of severity. It's not like the rest of the world was perfectly egalitarian until America invented misogyny. The same goes for other social ills: They came here with the original colonists and took different forms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 They bother me, too, but they weren't distinctly American inventions. You could argue that they've been with us since the first group of humans noticed that there was something different about another group of humans and decided that those differences weren't okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver he/him Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I spend a lot of time complaining about work. I'm gonna throw them a bone: My boss rearranged the entire month rota because I said I'd prefer to work a certain type of shift going forward. I didn't ask him to, and I said repeatedly that I was cool with working what had already been given to us until we got caughtup. And he changed it anyway Almost makes me feel bad for all the whining I do. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird she/her Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 @Quiver I'm really happy for you. I always sympathy-cringe when you tell us about the crem you have to deal with at your job, so I hope the new schedule makes your life easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
