Because I'm not remotely shallow or superficial or attracted to worldly trappings of excess, I am totally NOT going to get up at four a.m. to watch the royal wedding livestream on the BBC.
And I didn't watch Will and Kate's either.
I was aware that Princess Diana's wedding was happening. Didn't see any of it.

My morning cup of hypocrisy:
I was exactly Hermione's age when Charles and Diana married. My mother and my grandmother (who was living with us) had a plot to watch it together on television, which my dad did not know about. He had ordered my mother not to watch it because it would wake his mother up. (She was deaf as a stump, btw.)
So, of course, my mom is watching it with the sound almost completely off, and my grandmother toddles down the hall toward the den, and in her deaf old lady voice calls out, "ARE THEY MARRIED YET?"
So I woke up and got to watch it with them.
My dad was furious.
Did I even tell Hermione about this morning's event?
Nope. She has no idea whatsoever.

1. The character makes these massive sandwiches with some type of aoli on thick bread.
2. The actress is size 000 or something.
3. Her ass has never been in the same zip code as an actual sandwich.
4. But she's cute and bubbly and we're all supposed to accept it.
I can willingly forgive a lot of logical inconsistencies for the sake of entertainment, but scrawny actresses playing characters who eat carbs and fat is not one of them.

Sometime in the undetermined future, these two are going to infiltrate the server's elven community. We're not sure what we're going to do with said infiltration, other than something for the lulz. But it's going to happen.
Orthos and Scint --
I would love to read about the ensuing shenanigans!! Will you be posting that anywhere?
I can post stuff here, sure =)

I find this somewhat amusing, as I will fully admit the logical inconsistency of this would never have occurred to me on its own.

As Hi and I were heading down to Fremont last night to meet up with Shiro and NobodysWife, I made a very simple, yet very profound observation:
You know you've raised your kids right when you can leave four 17-year-olds (two male, two female) unsupervised in your house for the evening with an unlocked cabinet full of alcohol, and you know 100% for certain that nothing untoward is going to happen.

I guess. I only developed a taste for alcohol comparatively recently. I was pretty sheltered at that age aside from some incidences of violence and bigotry. That and dad made me drink his beer as a kid and it tasted awful and the memory was fresh.

Now I cant stop thinking about someone with powers similar to the horseman of apocalypse named Famine, as food, specifically sandwiches, disappear in the zip code she is in mysteriously. People around her begin to starve, but she always has food disproportionate to her petite size ready to eat that she never shares, but she is cheerful and charismatic enough that people never put two and two together.
Someone stat this villain up! This is Shaper of Worlds material!

Having grown up as an 80s punker, I had a LOT of friends who simply could not be left alone in the house.
It was really kind of scary the <expletive> they got into...
...stealing their parents' cash, raiding the liquor cabinet, copulating in the living room, etc.
i would have been down for copulating in the living room maybe...7 seconds in heaven in all likelihood, considering the time period. If an evening with the guys, we are pressing ALL the buttons on the cable box to get exactly 28 seconds of scrambled porn on spice. I will never forget the arguement that broke out over if we were watching porn or some type of surgery, it was that scrambled.
But good god, those other things would have frightened me off at that age. I probably would have called the police discretely.

That's scary. Excuse me while I help myself to the Bordeaux in the fridge...once I figure out how to get it open.

I don't know that I would label them a bad crowd, they're only fourteen after all. :-)
We'll go with overly dramatic and boy crazy.
Edit: What she doesn't realize is we have a man on the inside, little brothers see all and tell mom and dad everything.

Having grown up a 90s grunger I had similar experiences.
Hilarious enough, because of my long hair and my outsider status (we moved a lot) I was always pegged as the loser and troublemaker by parents.
Yet I was usually the straight man that kept my friends from doing even stupider s&&~.

Yep. Pretty much my life. Keeping my friends at the misdemeanor rather than felony level was a full-time job...

I love Fallout 4, I really do, but with the main story so uninteresting it's hard to keep going and not just start over with a different character.
I blame the lack of Ron Perlman narrating.
I just can't play Far Cry 5 because of the utterly screwed up main story.
Shiro and NobodysWife talk about how fun it is in spite of the story.
Seriously. You start off the game helpless and kidnapped. There are 3 main regions. In every region, as you progress you are kidnapped and helpless 3 times. So that's at least 10 times that, no matter how good you are, nor how well-armed you are, you get kidnapped, rendered helpless, and have to escape.
It's just fricking frustrating and stupid. Even NobodysWife just quits the game when Yet Another Kidnapping starts while she's playing.

Couldn't find the c*ckscrew and couldn't push the spoon deep enough to get to twist the cork out. I'm not desperate enough to start using the house keys, or a screw and a hammer. And I heard pushing the cork in ruins the flavour. Guess I'm going to bed sober tonight...
Lets just say I'm not really good at this kinda thing.

...you really shouldn't use the cockscrew. You should use the corkscrew. It works much better.
Poor cock was never meant to be used in that way...

I couldn't even finish the first season of Jessica Jones; it was too depressing. I had the same experience with Breaking Bad.
I share your feelings about BB, but JJ has enough action to break up the misanthropy for me. Looking forward to season 3!
5. A Handmaid's Tale (admittedly, it can be incredibly painful to watch, it's very well done)
So painful, but so so good.
Comedy-wise, I just watched Ali Wong's new special, and she is as ridiculous as ever.

I've missed the last couple seasons, so maybe something changed, but Fitz (the science guy) was the sandwich & aioli gourmet. Simmons (the science lady) was the size 0... who I think was only shown once eating onscreen which would explain her size 0-ness.
