A guy just walked in, wearing a pirate costume, doing one of the best Jack Sparrow impressions I've ever seen.

Are you sure it was not Johnny Depp?

He looked too young, unless time travel is involved.

When my family went to Disneyland, we encountered a guy dressed as Jack Sparrow who was not only doing an excellent impression of the character, including the slightly drunken swaying walk, but was also an uncanny Johnny Depp lookalike. We took photos with him.

That sounds much less weird than my character interaction at Universal.

...Beetlejuice hit on me.  Sidled right up, put an arm around my shoulders, and attempted to sweet-talk me.  While I was walking hand-in-hand with my husband.  It was kind of hilarious.

Flash and Arrow started this week! Haven't had a chance to watch, but I did catch the first five minutes of the Arrow premiere, and damnation.

That fight was brutal. A few times, I had to stop, rewind and check that, yeah, that guy landed on his neck, or wow, the sheer strength Ollie throws is palpable through the screen.

It ain't game changing; it was a five minute scene. It doesnt compare to the choreography of, say, The Climb, or the emotions of Ollie vs Slade. 

But it set a tone which was different from season 3 and 4, one which was darker, more brutal...more in line with seasons 1 and 2. That has me optimistic.

Captain America hit on my sister. She went up to take a picture with the guy in the suit (she's twenty, by the way; this is no small child) and he just smiled at her and made conversation and then took the picture. 

Oh, yeah, we also happened to go during the Halloween Horror Nights thing, because we bought tickets for it, and there were these dudes walking all around the park in blood-stained butcher's outfits, with fake chainsaws. Sister and I were crossing a bridge to get to Diagon Alley, when two of them cornered us. Then, one wouldn't leave us alone. My sister had a panic attack and started crying and we went back to the hotel.

Yay! Now I feel like getting back to wattpad, and starting to write again! Been too long my friends been too long.

[Quiver he/him]

I've just had a terrible day at work. It was busy, all day. 12 hours, near constant work, with Halloween bring out the worst kind if miscreants and ne'er do Wells. When other people tell you to calm down and breath, you know you're getting stressed.

... I'm not posting in the wring thread, I'm building up:

I have two days off now.

[Delightful]

Quiv, enjoy!!!!!!!!!

 

i feel like this morning was a year ago, but I finally achieved things today which is pure awesomeness. 

[Briar King]

Tricker treated with the kids! Last yr it was cancelled due to rain. 

[Claincy he/him]

I finished a prototype for a game I'm working on yesterday. It came out quite well so I'm thinking of expanding it into something bigger

That feeling you get when you've had no idea how to help a friend with big problems, then receive confirmation that something you did was helpful  

That thing was texting her this song

Well, it isn't news (we wrote about that on drogakrolow). We don't have an exact date. But I have asked him to confirm and he did (and I may have slipped about the horrible translation of Reckoners... whoops):

Quote

Me: A quick question: some time ago you mentioned that you are planning to hit Germany and London in Spring 2017 and that you promised Warsaw to get to us sometime soon.
Does this still hold? The Polish readers would really love to meet you

Brandon: This still holds. The plan is for Germany/London in the spring, and the next Europe trip after that being Warsaw. They've called dibs, and have been waiting very patiently. (...)
