Netflix is a fixed point, or something.

Boyfriend and I watched the first episode, and thought it seemed charming, but not enough to prioritise it above the many other things we're watching together (including, on the thread topic, Sakura Quest, March Comes in Like a Lion, ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept., and My Hero Academia). Probab...

When I spent Christmas away from home Santa came early to deliver stockings that I took with me for the day itself.

We've never openly discussed Santa not being real? I don't want to risk losing my socks and chocolate, you know.

TimelordSimone

Thank you! <3
The burger part itself was risotto! Mine had bacon and sweet chilli and stuff, it was: delicious.

TimelordSimone

Huge congratz! wow.

yr boy (me) had a not-date last night (we ate risotto burgers, they were very good) and dressed slightly nicer than regular casual

I don't disagree, in the specific context, really? It's just a little incongruous, thematically, to try and do 'aliens as persecuted minority' and ALSO 'aliens as faceless evil army', to me. If that makes sense. Also yes obviously lena/kara forever (also winn is so gay f...

and so, season two draws to a close - god I missed Cat Grant so much it was wonderful to see her again - Lena Luthor is a delight I'm glad she's apparently getting promoted to main cast - is James Olsen even still in this show - The whole 'aliens as persecuted minority' metaphor they...

We started watching this this weekend! Three eps in, loving it. Read the book, but a while ago, long enough that I've forgotten entire characters, apparently (Mad Sweeney). I'd forgotten they'd cast Gillian Anderson and didn't actually notice until I saw her name in the credits. I like that they're ...

where do i sign?

I stopped watching a few episodes into season three, not been feeling it for a while, but I dropped back in solely for the musical episode and it was a lot of fun, very silly, didn't really make sense if you thought about it at all, but I had a good time. (I am still watching Supergirl but am really...

I can't find step by step instructions for the standing dragon with legs. I can't watch the youtube videos here at work either. Do you have a link to instructions? I used a youtube video but it's one of the better ones (it includes diagrams as well) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUsxMXwCW8A I mos...

rip
(get it)

TimelordSimone

Thank you!

Would you believe the dragon was easier than the sloth? It's intricate, but all the folds are actually pretty simple. The sloth was a nightmare, my first attempt managed to split completely in half.

I've been learning origami and I finally made some things using nice paper. I'm pretty pleased!

concept: my three adult (late-20s) housemates manage to put the bins out on collection day when I'm not here
sometimes they don't manage even when I actively remind them

I'm only a tiny bit anxious about my plans tonight being super vague and up in the air.
this is probably a tiny accomplishment but! I'll take it!

EDIT: these plans fell through and I was sad but I tided/organised a bunch and I'm feeling pretty good so, hooray

you're all very sweet

I have two: 1) Incorrect pluralisation of pokémon (and individual pokémon names). The word pokémon and each individual pokémon name are singular and plural. One pokémon, six pokémon, three pikachu, a flock of zubat, etc. I think possibly technically they're supposed to be capitalised as well maybe? ...

I looked this up at some point (I don't recall why) and in the UK at least someone born on February 29th legally turns 18 on the March 1st It makes more sense that way, whereas if you went out to a bar 'on your 18th birthday' on the 28th, well your ID says your birthday is the 29th, you're still 17 ...

I loathe it

His friends laughed at him for painting his walls pink but now ladies come to his parties!
I hate it so much.

My friend's ex got arrested in Kenya last week. Ostensibly for having the wrong work permit or something, but given that the rest of his volunteer group were fine we're guessing it has more to do with his being gay. He is home safe now, it's all fine. I've never even met the guy but the whole thing ...

Well, you know what they say, you can't make an omelette without, uh... spilling some milk.

The Flash (Jay Garrick) got superspeed from inhaling water vapour.
Or something.

TimelordSimone

spoilers for inarticulate...ness I have a tendency to dismiss compliments about my body, I tend to just not really believe it. But my friend (with former benefits) just in passing said 'you know you have a nice body,' and I just accepted it at face value (I think perhaps because ...

I just knew someone was going to bring that up.

Okay uh, Squirrel Girl! There's no way she convinces squirrels to attack Wolverine or Doctor Doom or whatever by politely asking them to.

If you were a person, what would you be like?

Terrible, I'm sure.

TimelordSimone

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall someone whose mutant power was spontaneously catching fire (like the Human Torch) but without the required secondary power of immunity to fire.
That's pretty terrible.

I've probably mentioned this before, but whatever. My friend had neither a kettle nor a microwave in his flat when I visited him. I had to boil water in a saucepan to make tea, like some kind of chump. Why I had to make the tea while he lounged around in bed even though I was the guest is a whole ot...
