Zathoth Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 You know when it starts raining inside you? A heavy rain beating down among the streetlights like a ballet dancer with a broken ankle tripping over the stage. When the inner soundtrack consists mostly of Chet Baker and Leonard Cohen and you go on monologues consisting mostly of similies. While you may not smoke or drink you are suddenly full of both whisky and tobacco. All color has been washed away from the world by the rain and incoming night. And then she walks in, legs for hours and despite the lack of color you can tell she is dressed in red. I keep finding myself in that rain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wearing a Grumpy Cat shirt for election day because this election season has made everybody very grumpy. I am currently listening to the record and wearing the t-shirt. 1 minute ago, Zathoth said: You know when it starts raining inside you?

Like you're sitting in a smoky jazz club watching some talented sax player blow his soul through his brass? And then the dame walks in, and all eyes are on her? She makes her way across the room, and even though you're facing the opposite direction with a drink in hand, you can feel the heat radiate off her? And then you turn around, tip your hat, and say, "Isn't it customary nowadays to greet with 'Hello, darling,' and not passive letters left on my windowsill?' She smirks at this, and you turn back to your drink. She is the Adler to your Holmes, the temptation to the recovering addict, the bicycle to the ADHD kid. Whenever you need to focus on what's at hand, she's there, storming things up and just plain distracting you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the entire aesthetic, I dont know why that is, because I dont watch a lot of movies, its just that everytime it turns up I love it.

Oversleep Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Suggest me some good noir. Films, preferably. (I was getting Sin City vibe from the "dame in red" description but not sure whether Sin City is noir or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Murder, My Sweet up now, haven't started it yet, looks good though. Blue Velvet is neo-noir and the most disturbing film I've ever seen, but I recommend it.

Silverblade5 he/him Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I recently watched Turnabout Storm. This prompted me to start watching Ace Attorney videos. I'm on case four for the game. The feels for Egeworth are so real right now. Does Dl-6 ever come up again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm confused by Google's electoral map. It says Trump has won Utah already, but also that only 29% of Utah's votes have been counted and that some districts have "no results" yet. WHAT IS HAPPENING.

It says Trump has won Utah already, but also that only 29% of Utah's votes have been counted and that some districts have "no results" yet. WHAT IS HAPPENING. They do a lot of math to compute that. With a certain margin you can very easily determine the winner. Trump's winning in Utah 51% to McMullin 23.5%. That's 208k votes to 95k votes. You don't need to be a mathematician to say, "wow, that's a blowout." Additionally Utah is rather homogeneous, so it's very doubtful there would be any surprises. There won't be. Sorry. States they don't call have a very, very close margin. New Hampshire's margin is 96. That's right, 96 votes. Pennsylvania isn't quite that close, but really close. EDIT: My sources were Politico's totals, at the time of original posting. We'll see how it goes in a bit. Edited November 9, 2016 by Chaos Adding source.

Then maybe it'd be more accurate for me to say, "This is my first time really paying attention to an election, so I appreciate that you know how it works better than I do."
