Mistrunner Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 So I've got a very important paper due tomorrow, and I only just finished my introduction. I'm only on here right now to distract myself. Looks like I've got a loooooong night ahead of me It seems you too hold the shard of procrastinating... on the Shard.
+Slowswift Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 So I finished Feedback, the sequel to Variant, today. It was actually pretty good; the ending wasn't near as bad as I'd been led to believe. Sure, it left some questions unanswered, but not enough that I didn't feel any closure. But then I had a few spare minutes in class, so I pulled out my phone and read the bonus material Rob published for Altered Perceptions, the epilogue. My reaction to that?
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 You do know the story about the guy who taught his horse to eat less and less, right? Yeah, sadly I know that I can barely manage for a day on less than four hours of sleep, so a threshold remains. I just can't help but think of what I could do if I didn't need sleep.
Delightful Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 In North and South Dakota, they're just fanning.I don't geddit...
Kestrel she/her Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I have to write an entire academic argumentative paper tonight 900-1200 words rip me forever
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 So sorry Lark. Also, I sorta got the news today. I am moving within the week. Let the packing begin. 1
Blaze1616 he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I don't geddit... Dakota Fanning was a child actress who not only was rather good, but had an explosion of movie releases at her peak. She has since flourished into a beatuiful woman, but she's stopped acting. Whether this is due to a personal decision, or no one hires her anymore, I don't know. She got some heavy Disney backing when she first hit the scene. Edit: I've been told she's still acting. Thanks ThirdGen! Edited October 28, 2015 by Blaze1616
Kobold King he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Donna definitely ranks up there as one of my favorite companions, if not my absolute favorite. I loved her sassy banter with the Doctor, the way she treated him like her best friend instead of a crush, but most of all I loved how intentionally ordinary she was. She wasn't brilliant, she wasn't brave, she wasn't prepared for everything she saw....but she was enthusiastic and compassionate, allowing her to become a hero to people who needed one. I love that! Rose and Martha, and even Amy and Clara to lesser extents, seem to be so full of drama all the time. The previous two have explicitly shown crushes on him for their entire runs, Amy starts off with one, and let's just say I found some of Clara's interactions with Eleven towards the end suspicious. So to follow the "companions = girlfriends" analogy presented to us in School Reunion, Rose, Martha, Amy, and Clara are all exes, while Donna is the wacky friend he had some of his most over the top adventures with. 1
Quiver he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Has anyone else here seen Crimson Peak? (I remain convinced Crimson Peak is basically a sequel to The Turn of the Screw) 2

She got some heavy Disney backing when she first hit the scene. She's still going, she's just been in lower-profile indies for a few years now (and before that, she latched onto the Twilight franchise for a few films). Still, she's so good that even when she was a kid, everybody could see "This is gonna be the next Meryl Streep."
Blaze1616 he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 She's still going, she's just been in lower-profile indies for a few years now (and before that, she latched onto the Twilight franchise for a few films). Still, she's so good that even when she was a kid, everybody could see "This is gonna be the next Meryl Streep." I did not know, and I like to think I do a decent job of keeping up with Indie films....oh well. And I never cared about Twilight, so no shock I didn't know of her there.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 When I googled "Sell clothes to p," the first result was "Sell clothes to Plato's Closet." The second was "Sell clothes to Poland." I'm not sure what to make of this. 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 ... what were you going to write? Plato's Closet. It's a clothing store that sells gently used brand-name stuff at deep discounts that will pay you for the same. 1
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 My mom is getting mad at me for alphabetizing my Legos by which series there are from. Packing sucks. 1

Orlion Blight he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Has anyone else here seen Crimson Peak? (I remain convinced Crimson Peak is basically a sequel to The Turn of the Screw) I have not, how is it?
The Honor Spren she/her Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Changed my profile pic to Pony!Adolin.Hey, you look nice today.
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Why thank you, creator of this pony.
DanTheSeamonster he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I'm just sitting around eating cheetos. Don't judge..... its just a little hard to get motivated sometimes..... Edited October 28, 2015 by The Crooked Warden 1
Quiver he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I have not, how is it? Beautifully shot, well-acted, story is a bit weak. I'm happy to have seen it, but its not the amazing film I was expecting. (Though I'm not a fan of horror, so it being Gothic romance was good for me)
Delightful Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 This is hilarious. But also serious and political. And Harry Potter. And I'm not sure why I find it funny.
