I haven't been around here particularly long compared to most of you, but I knew, and I don't remember anyone announcing it.More that I legit can't remember if either of us had brought it up before. No big. Just thought it was silly.
1) having known you were a couple and thinking this was not news (under the impression that it was widely known here), it was, with clear intent, a reference to the fact that Freehold had just called you Ultros (though I didn’t know the name thing - cool!); sorry if that wasn’t public - my bad (also, and once again, congratulations! )Uhm...I, er, knew as well. Toootally knew...
** spoiler omitted **
We don't, I'm in TN and she's in KS. Though that is planned to change sooner or later.
We met online and have known each other for almost 15 years now. =)
Bravo, Cyz and I didn't wait so long. :)

BTW, my mother went to see Rogue One in the cinema.
I was surprised because she hates sci-fi.
I was even more surprised when she said how much she liked it, because she hates anything sad (she says life has enough misery on its own, she doesn't need it from her entertainment).
Turns out she DID NOT GET that everyone died. She thought that the big blast of light at the end with Jyn and Cassian on the beach was just a fancy editing transition and they lived happily ever after.
Y'know to foment anarchy again.If for whatever reason she can ever make it thru Pan's Labyrinth, I'd be curious what she thinks of the ending.

Yeah, neither she nor I will ever watch that one. Neither of us can stomach dead kid movies.

I can appreciate that. It's one of my top 10 favorites of all time, but it is haaaaaaaard to watch, and not just for that reason.

Word, yo. Proper holiday raps are crazy.
Bigger than homeschool, sure, but our graduating class last year was about 45. We're not a large school.Pretty sure their schools are much larger than the ones you and I attended...Yep. Today's a complete joke. I've completely given up on even taking hall passes seriously - I've written two with "world domination" as the reason on them. No one's said anything.Wait...you actually have to write hall passes? When I was in high school the teachers would just hand over some random knickknack for you to carry around.
Still larger than my schools. While I was home schooled, I wasn’t exclusively homeschooled. The graduating class is about double the size of mine - which was one of two of the lar fest schools I can remember attending prior to college.
(I attended various schools - about three, due to moving - prior to the early 90s; then for most of the 90s I was home schooled, or briefly attended (for a few-month increments) whatever school was nearby (we were missionaries). In ‘98-‘00 I attended an actual Highschool, from which I graduated. Just in case you guys wanted to know waaaayyyyyy too much.)
Man, waking up with a clogged head feels weeiiiirrrrd.

So today we got our fourth unmarked package from Amazon. Addressed to me, with no gift card, no wrapping, nothing to indicate it was a gift nor whom it came from. But it was another item from one of the kids' Christmas lists, so I know it came from ONE of my family members. Who knows which one?
My absolute favorite so far was a package addressed to Impus Minor from a company we didn't recognize. He does online shopping, so we figured it was something he'd ordered. Nope! It was one of his presents, unwrapped, with no gift card.
So he knows what at least one of his presents is, even if he has no idea who actually gave it to him.
My family. Taking gift-giving to a new degree of laziness since 2007.

My GI thinks that the sleeping and anti-anxiety pills I've been taking have been making me too relaxed. Specifically, the intestinal muscles responsible for moving my bowels along.
So basically I'm getting my little GI workers too doped up to do their job.
I deal with that at work sometimes.
And the aftermath of when the muscles actually start working.
It may be time to follow the NH path.

...this is probably the most awkward way to bring up the fact that we're a couple.Considering Freehold just called me Ultros (not inappropriately, Orthos/Orthros is apparently a legit alternate translation for his name) are you telling her to skin me and wear me like a suit or...?This has been another episode of "Scint explains jokes to death." Join us again next week when she overanalyzes just why that chicken is crossing the road.They made two, because SpongeBob SquarePants is awesome and a national treasure.<exits nation>So, wait, I call SpongeBob SquarePants a national treasure and you're out, but yet didn't leave when [redacted] was [redacted].
You sure about that?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to provide perspective on a rather dramatic statement. Don't get me wrong I HATE Firefly but I'm not leaving the country over it.
My guess is because it's funnier to make a bigger deal out of something as inconsequential as a cartoon being popular than it is a heavy political issue beyond the control of the average citizen.
Bleak reflection on current events is sad.
Exaggerated overreaction to pop cultural ephemera is silly.Fair enough, I guess it came out sounding stronger than it did in my head.
My apologies Orthos, just ignore that.
*Hands Scint a nearby octopus to wear*
Look, you'll just get more sick like that!

Best Jedi ever.Rogue one has good reviews. A bit dark for me since in the end everyone died but...well different strokes for different folks.Donnie. Yen.
I absolutely love the fact that he wasnt a jedi. Made the movie for me, especially as a fan of the d6 star wars game- you could literally do everything he did in the game as a regular non force using character(if you hoarded force points).

Solo is going up on Netflix in a couple of weeks (along with Infinity War and Incredibles 2 and a bunch of other crap that doesn't matter because ZOMG Incredible 2).
Still haven't seen it, but after seeing Alden Ehrenreich in the Coen Brothers "Hail Caesar", I thought he was a good choice for a young Ham.

My apologies, John. That was in no way meant to be a comment on your character. It was merely in reference to a long-ago photo you you linked on FaWtL of yourself in an eyepatch.
NH is likewise extraordinarily chill unless very seriously pissed. And while he will occasionally sit with a cat in his lap, he very rarely throws anyone in a pit of sharks/alligators/rabid middle school students while doing so.

what? I know I can. What happened?
I don't know. I can no longer mute tabs. I can mute a site, and I can mute things other ways, but I can't mute individual tabs (clicking the little speaker does nothing). It might be an error on my end somehow (possible; either on my part or my machines), but considering Chrome previously took away the right-click option to mute tabs (replacing it with the frustrating and nearly-worthless-for-me option to mute a site), there really isn't a reason to stick with Chrome.
Firefox does. =)

Hey! My face is a bond villain!
... actually, it's really, really not. I'm either too fat, or lack the appropriate jowls. Also too baby-faced when shaved, too hobo-ish when unshaved, and too "standard" when my beard is clipped. Alas.
But my laugh! I've practiced very hard to have a villainous laugh! And sometimes I can get my children to do so with me!
(Though they have now both gotten old enough that they're a bit embarrassed by it. Alas, those golden days of yore are likely gone...)

So far, being on vacation seems mostly pointless and weird.
Yesterday, I balanced the books, worked on the 30-day budget, cleaned out the stopped tub drain, scrubbed every inch of the bathroom, did all the floors, beat the rugs outside in the yard, took out the trash, cleaned the house, and made dinner for the in-laws, then stayed up late cleaning after WW and the kids crashed.
Today, I repaired the wonky kitchen cabinet door, baked two dozen muffins for the monthly breakfast that my church serves at the shelter, dropped by the church to stash them in the freezer until they're needed on the 30th, did a bunch of laundry, and set up the mail hold with the postal service.
And I feel so effing depressed I just want to crawl into a hole and cry.
For absolutely no reason whatsoever.
I feel completely useless.
(When I'm depressed, I alternate between staring at the wall and frenzy of purposeful activity to prove I'm not actually a waste of carbon. Neither helps.)

Y'know, I always beat my rugs outside. But then, they don't really seem to even try to race me. Maybe my rugs are just lazy?
