I call such things a “Man-Date” (because it’s imperative, you get it?) to about the same reaction by my 8-year-old Eldest. I look forward to this getting worse. :D

I can see it’s important enough to you that you meant the musician your sense of... scale.
EDIT: this is a joke about a naked dragon, yes.

Were I not at work, I would link the Dream Daddy theme song.

"I finished the grammar homework, Ms. Scint."
"That's awesome."
"But as I was doing the last question, 'Under Pressure' started playing."
"Nice. At least it wasn't 'Ice, Ice Baby.'"
"...what."

"Ms. Scint why"
"Stop."
"Stop what?"
"Collaborate and listen-"

"Donned" is the word you're looking for.

Woof. Ouch!
The lyrics are pretty brutal!
The song is pretty beautiful!
Also: what the heck is going on with that guy.
Seems like he miiiiiiiiiight be totally horrible in every way.
I have now found out his story.
Wikipedia and YouTube reviewers are rather useful.It just... I... uh... you see... um... hhhhhhhhhhhhhuh.
I don't even.
This is just.
Erm.
You know, I'm just gonna let this guy tell it, because he's actually seen the show. I laughed way to hard at that, and am... ah... hrrrrrrrrrrrrm. I just. That is a NOPE.gif, waitin' right there. Great opening, tho. [sic]
I'll say this: if Shiro loves horr(or/ible) things, this may just be right up his alley!
For the record, as far as I can tell, it lacks any sort of gore, body-horror, or even actual violence. It, uh... it... hm. Yes. Well. #NoChromo. Yeah, that'll make it juuuuuuuuust fine. Daggummit, Japan.
Oh, and, I'm just going to presume you get the one joke-reference, Freehold (the one with "<title> x <name> x <name> x <name>" - at least I think the others were names, relating back to this series), and formally request you explain it, either in a spoiler tag or in a PM so I can figure out what the heck that even means, as it wasn't the, uh, family name of Natsuo in this series, so *shrugging motion*.

"Donned" is the word you're looking for.
No, I know, but I got it right the first time.
Because "dusked" isn't a word (as in "darkening"), and she now looks more like her alternate avata-
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the ferrous one of all?
Oh, yes. That one. Daggummit. They're becoming one being at all times.
Don't think I'm not secretly pleased with this, though. Eeeeeeeeeheeheeheehee~!

Hey, I hear someone needs lightning on these guys?
Good thing I paid for that silly shock enchantment, eh?
Who's laughing, now, Kyra?!

In addition to alias-fail up there (edited, by the way), I just realized it wasn't Valeros who had the shock weapon.
Because oops.
I'm... still perplexed.

Well...I got a week of lesson plans done, a novel test and a half written, and vocab for the next month sorted.
Can I go home yet?
Not until you've written a week long lesson on puns which will require your students to write several per day. Each day must have a different theme, such as food, music, family, and potpourri.

I wonder what that would sound like slowed down 3-4 times?
Or sped up by the amount and given the happy hardcore treatment?
I bet someone's already done the latter, but I'm not at all sure that I wanna hear the results...

So I saw a shoulder specialist yesterday. Afterwards I had my monthly appointment with my chiropracter.
Shoulder specialist: "MRIs are great, but they make doctors fat and lazy.
Yeah, your doc and the radiologist said you have tendonosis. That's true. It's also not your problem. Everyone over the age of 30 has tendonosis. Don't worry about it."
Me: "They also said there's no tears?"
Specialist: "Yeah...they were a bit wrong about that too. You have two partial tears. One in the tendon here, and one in the cartilage here. However, they're small, nothing that requires surgery yet, and even taken together...they're not you're problem. But contrary to what you were told, they do exist. Your problem is you have frozen shoulder."
It will go away on its own, but it can take months/years to develop, another months/years to feel awful, and another months/years to "thaw" and go away on its own.
Specialist: "So what we're going to do is give you a steroid shot in the shoulder. This won't feel nearly as bad as what you've dealt with in the past. Then you're going to do some daily stretches. In 6 weeks you're going to come back to me and you should be 50% better. We'll reevaluate and go from there. Probably another shot and more exercises until you're good, as long as your body responds to this."
Body, you will submit to my Will. This war must come to a close.
So to the chiropractor's afterwards.
Chiro: "Ok, I'm going to leave your shoulder alone since you just got the steroid injection. Let that do its work. We can assist with the treatment, but we're not going to do anything to make it worse or impede what he wants you doing. It's a solid diagnosis and solid treatment plan."
Me: "Great, so on to the usual back issues."
Chiro: "Yep."
Chiro works on the low back, which I strained over the weekend with too much work for Zelda's event. Then she gets into my mid-back. And it sounds like a snare drum roll.
Chiro: "Holy shit! Oh, I mean, I'm sorry, that was unprofessional of me."
Me: "Don't worry about that. I'm not the least bit offended. I'm equal parts proud and depressed."

*SIGH*. On our roadmap call, and the presenter just threw out one of those comments that depresses me: "Just like you can never have too much money or a car that can go too fast..."
Er, yes, yes you can.
And that makes me an alien.
EDIT: For the record, I've pegged "enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life" at $10 million. Any more than that and I'd just start giving it all away because I'd have no use for it.

I have to admit, I'm pretty stoked about the insulation.
Lows are in the mid-40s right now, with highs in the high 60s, yet the living room is bottoming out at 63°F, which is perfectly livable. So we're not even particularly using the portable space heaters yet, much less the core heat.
Of course, we usually don't turn on the heat until November, so we'll see how things progress.

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl was everything good about the series in an hour and a half with an extra hard gut punch of an ending. If you liked Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Sempai you will enjoy every minute of the movie.
Edit: Okay, maybe every minute of the first half. The second half is rough.
