Kobold King he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I follow a few pug pages on Facebook, one of them for a Californian pug named Matti. Every day she dazzles with a new frilly outfit, and drops pieces of insight, some of which are downright brain-breaking. Like so: "Candles are how we keep fire as pets." "Perfume is like jewelry for other people's noses." "Snakes are just tails with faces." 6
Mistrunner Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Speaking of absolutely nothing anyone was talking about... Doctor Who watching with my mother is going better. She says he's calmed down a bit, but I think she's just gotten used to the fact that he ain't Barty Crouch anymore. And she likes Martha. She still says it's a silly show after watching Doomsday. Also, after rewatching The Lazarus Experiment, I will never call them hors d'oeuvres again. "Nibbles! I love nibbles!" 2
Delightful Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I have a random line from a song going through my head. "'La la la la' one killer need". I have no idea what the song is and Google isn't helping. Any ideas?

MrMistborn he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Just started watching Sherlock. SOOO GOOD 3
RippleGylf she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I love watching Sherlock! Just wait 'til you get to the third episode.
MrMistborn he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I love watching Sherlock! Just wait 'til you get to the third episode. I'm excited already! Best line ever is when he notices the Donovan cheating with Anderson because of the deodorant and says- "and I assume she scrubbed your floors, going by the state of her knees" Subtle sex references are the best kind 1
azninvasion99 he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I'm excited already! Best line ever is when he notices the Donovan cheating with Anderson because of the deodorant and says- "and I assume she scrubbed your floors, going by the state of her knees" Subtle sex references are the best kind I had to pause the show when he said that, I was laughing so hard. Enjoy that show, its fantastic. I'm very excited for the Victorian special that is coming out in January. Speaking of absolutely nothing anyone was talking about... Doctor Who watching with my mother is going better. She says he's calmed down a bit, but I think she's just gotten used to the fact that he ain't Barty Crouch anymore. This took me a little bit as well, since I loved his performance as Barty Crouch. I'm still bitter that his role wasn't big enough but oh well. Get to have more Tennant villainy in Jessica Jones later this month which I've been looking forward to since they announced his casting.
Kasimir he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I just met someone I hadn't met in, what, over fifteen years yesterday. It was kind of awkward, because I have the expressive (not emotional capacity, but the capacity to express these emotions) capacity of a teaspoon. But it was really great, and I found myself tearing up because, well, I was really close to her. It's weird talking to someone who sort of pretty much taught you and raised you, as a child. We're talking almost eight years here, in my childhood. There's all these things I apparently said and did that I don't recall; similarly, I guess she's trying to come to grips with how much has changed, because I'm not that child anymore. In a way, it's hard, because I remember her--so much--but I don't remember much of that common ground. I don't know what to do, but it's times like this when... Well, I guess I always have a strong impulse to run away from my life. Sometimes, I think about how nice it would be to just leave; to cut all ties, to leave your old life behind, to go and see what's beyond that far horizon. And times like this, it reminds me that we wouldn't be who we are, I guess, if you cut everything away. Or that sometimes, things run too deep to be just cut off like this. Times like this, I'm glad :') 4
Haelbarde he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I noted earlier today that if you stick 'Apollo' and 'Apogee' together, you get 'Apollogee' (apology). For those who don't know: NOUN the highest point in the development of something; the climax or culmination: astronomy the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is furthest from the earth. So, particularly with the second, in the context of the Apollo Program, one could make a space joke from this. Not yet sure how best to put that together though...

Allomancy she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Not yet sure how best to put that together though... With GLUE!! Or duct tape 1
Left he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I just got braces. Eating is so hard.....I think I'll just quit it. Nobody really needs to eat, right?..... 2
Zathoth Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Eating is mandatory, using your mouth however, is not. Try absorbing nutrition with the pores of your skin or turn green and feed on sunlight. 2
Kaymyth she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I just got braces. Eating is so hard.....I think I'll just quit it. Nobody really needs to eat, right?..... I remember those days. It gets better; the first couple of days after each tightening are the worst. (I played the oboe with braces. I remember your pain.) 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I never knew how lucky I was to be born with straight teeth until my sister had to get braces….but first she had to wear an expander for a while. That first night, she could barely eat anything, her mouth hurt so bad. Then, when she got into high school, her English class had to write short stories. Her favorite by far was by one of her classmates, about a young woman traversing a post-apocalyptic wasteland in search of the last known orthodontist able to remove her braces. 10

In all seriousness, I could be more scared for that character than many others facing death. 5
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 In all seriousness, I could be more scared for that character than many others facing death. Apparently, the opening line is "Four years. It was only supposed to be four years." It really resonated with my sister. 6
Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Ah, braces, welcome to hell! Funny story: I had braces for several years when during a checkup, the orthodontist told me things were shaping up nicely and I could quit wearing rubber bands. "But I never wore rubber bands"I informed him. "..." he replied. Then there was the time my tongue got stuck in my braces and my friends laughed at my suffering... 1
Kobold King he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Huzzah! The official logo for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them has been revealed! 5
Elbereth she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Huzzah! The official logo for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them has been revealed! OOOOH PRETTYIn unrelated news, I am a lot better at calligraphy after hand copying a letter ten times for a play I'm working in. No one even reads it, so I could put in whatever I liked as long as it looked pretty. Nine of them are what it's supposed to be: romantic fluff (which was hilarious to write, by the way.) The tenth is the first page or so of Fellowship of the Rings. When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would be celebrating his eleventy first birthday with a party of special magnificence... I would have done a Sanderson thing, but I don't have anything good enough memorized yet. In only tangentially related news, my church is celebrating its eleventy-first birthday soon, and no one else is nearly as excited as I am.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Watching the pilot for Supergirl now. It's actually very good so far. Amazing what you can do with the material when you tell Zack Snyder to stay the heck away. 3
Delightful Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Apparently, the opening line is "Four years. It was only supposed to be four years." It really resonated with my sister.*shudder*. I actually really want to read this.
Allomancy she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Ah, the horror of braces. I've got a retainer now. Four, actually. Two permanent, two removable. Trust me when I say the clear plastic retainers are worse than braces. I would know.
