Sunbird

I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulties, Mulk. I know it probably doesn't really help, but I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and sending positive vibes. *hugs*

Thanks! I have a lot of fun tweaking it for the season/holidays.

Saint Patrick's Day approaches. I've updated my profile pic accordingly.

Yes, it is.

Thank you!

Birds sure were having a party at BYU today. Happy birds = happy Sunbird. Cedar Waxwings (4 photos): Black-capped Chickadee, Spotted Towhee, and Lesser Goldfinch (3 photos): Robins (2 photos):

Thank you, @A Budgie, for this wonderfully versatile screenshot.

@MonsterMetroid I would say after. All the stuff in Civil War happened in a relatively short span of time, and the blurb waaaaay at the end of the Black Panther credits confirms this. (Further explanation in spoiler)

Just saw it today. A very excellent movie!! All the fight scenes were awesome, especially with so many women kicking chull without anyone blinking an eye or thinking it was unusual. I also appreciated T'Challa's reluctance to kill. (I think that's vague enough that it doesn't need a spoiler tag.)

*shakes fist*

@Tesh Darn! You know you're a Sanderfan when the URL to somebody's Tumblr gets cut off so you can only see "thegreatunk" and you automatically assume it says "the great unkalaki" when in fact it's actually "the great unknown."

@Tesh I will definitely be at the Lee Library event, so if you do make it, keep an eye out for a chubby girl in a blue owl-print baseball cap.

I have so much random bird and other nature trivia in my brain... Here are some of my favorites. 1. Fireflies use their flashing rear ends to attract mates. Each species has its own specific glow meant for others of its kind, but certain predatory species of fireflies mimic the signals of other species, luring in unsuspecting would-be lovers and then eating them. 2. Rattlesnakes' rattles get longer as they age: Every time the snake sheds its skin, another segment is added. Baby rattlesnakes are born with only a single"button" on their tail. 3. When berries freeze and thaw repeatedly in winter, they can ferment, produce alcohol, and intoxicate birds that eat them.

@TheVillageIdiot 100% agree that villain-to-hero conversions are awesome and one of my favorite plot devices. I also agree that they're not common enough to be truly a cliche. A trope, perhaps.

Pretty much describes all of us when it comes to Sanderson. XD

When you start talking like a Horneater in casual chat conversation.

Is it considered a necro if the thread has only been dead for a month? Anyway... A coworker told me this excellent pun today, so of course I had to memefy it.

Weird, I just got asked this same question on Facebook earlier today. One of my favorites is the "impossible number of concealed weapons," a la that guy in the animated movie Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. Also a big fan of the Wilhelm Scream.

@Slowswift When I saw the title, I was expecting a mashup between "Viva la Vida" and "Livin' la Vida Loca." But I think the actual video was much better than my expectations.

Hahahaha. I had so much fun with this book that I stayed up past midnight to finish it last night. Almost every page had me going like this: And I laughed SO MUCH. Now I'm hyped for the movie!

Started reading Ready Player One. I've only gotten through the prologue, but already I am very pleased with all the references to video games and pop culture.

Oooh. There are so many awesome artists to nominate! Deciding will be difficult. ... ... I nominate @sheep
