It's World Book Day today! The SFX Off-Topic group will NOT get a reminder this year for everybody to change their clocks for Daylight Saving Time. International members get too stroppy because "not everyone is in the United States [I could say the same to YOU since I'm in Canada!]" and "we changed our clocks last week!" Obviously then, that reminder is NOT for you! Scroll by and DON'T COMMENT! I had to "be civil" and not go all FIRE DRAGON on them... it was an exercise in patience, which is NOT a bad thing, but STILL!


Bird-In-Hand, Pennsylvania?!




From Youtube and The Murder of Susan Eyre: Marvyn Benoit?! BAD SPELLING OF MARVIN!

I was barely awake or coherent this morning, and snarked at a few people about their assumption that EVERYONE has Thanksgiving today. Also added Kate to Hangouts - she thought that Mike's email address was hilarious! Facebook was also down this morning, and now I can't seem to tag anyone! UGH!


From Reddit on June 8, 2019: No, TheOnlyChoco, we do not refer to toothbrush bristles as BRUSSELS. Are you five years old?!




Captain Strong lecturing Ness at the Onett police station in EARTHBOUND: "At times like this, kids like you should be playing Nintendo games."

glowing_dragon: (No Netspeak!)
From Discord on August 15, 2019: OMW is a pretty stupid and lazy abbreviation - just spell out ON MY WAY! You could do that for EXCITED and ANNIVERSARY! Also, nobody cares about your anniversary gift to your husband: cotton socks with pets on them.




In the big Corelle bowl, we have hot and sour soup noodles!




All-Chinese package of Knorr hot and sour soup mix!




From Not Always Right: FACEPALM! Crap... wrong hand... SHUNK!

I left at 4:30 to meet Rishu at 5 at Touchstone, then went to the public market for some dinner while I was out anyway: Eggplant (ew), fried noodles, cauliflower, bamboo shoots, broccoli, carrots, and pork! Met up with Nick from Discord, which was fine - boy, is he open about some things, though! Talked about his being a Flames fan in Canucks territory, Michelle, narcissism, therapy, exes, drunk confessions, concerts, missing his best friend (but he's working), stepfamilies, frat bro people, welding, the Commercial / Broadway area, pizza, drinking a lot, smoking again, and more. I just wanted to get home reasonably quickly! After I got home at 6:35 on a 407, I took a shower.


C'Bo Flemister is a football player?!




Kyle Twomey is a baseball player?!

After COFFEE TIME, Corey got back to me on Discord and confirmed that yes, he did use Line to talk to people in Taiwan. I eventually managed to install the app successfully on both my phone and computer - PHEW! I also talked to Nate and Darryl, which went well. Later, I left at 4:30 to get to Dublin Crossing at Marine Drive Station. Turns out I was there early, but fought with the wi-fi connection when it seemed to be fine on Monday. Oh well... I went in the pub after texting back and forth with Ian, and got our table all nice and ready. There, the connection seemed more steady about 90% of the time. Phew.

I FINALLY GOT TO MEET NATE! IT WAS AWESOME! We talked about Paulo and what he's doing, Steve, Darryl and how he's fine with us and LOVES the big server drama now that he's out of there, his thanking me for not being like Holly (I let them talk about whatever), Stefan and his girlfriend, how things like money and a relationship do not magically fix your problems, his girlfriend, Paris, the Asian red-face gene, Havarti, Ontario, hydro, therapy, and what certain people needed to hear. I also talked to Laura, Matt, Ian, Sarah, Megan, and some others. I JUST MISSED THE BRIGHOUSE TRAIN because the elevator took too long to come down from the train platform! JESUS CHRIST! At least it was a nice evening and I FINALLY got home at 9:55, just in time for the daily holidays!


From Cuya's Discord server: Pumpkin Spice Spam, just in time for fall 2019!




Guinness time at Dublin Crossing!




Irish Stew with soda bread! Braised New Zealand lamb shoulder, root vegetables, russets, barley, green peas, and house-made potato dumplings in a rich beef broth. Served with our house-made warm cheddar caraway soda bread.

glowing_dragon: (Happy Birthday!)
Today is Retirement Day! After texting and calling a semi-sick Chinese Eric about his birthday plans while having COFFEE TIME and SHOWER TIME, I went out at 1 on a 407 to see Rishu at Touchstone. They're moving near Ikea in October?! Eric and I can meet up later; white Eric can't make it to next week's Lions game because of a guest speaker presentation at church which his small group is going to attend. I can respect that for sure! I got home at 2:55 on a 407, which is fine.


Apollokreed Gardner, Jamarri Johnson, and Kandace Knight?!

glowing_dragon: (Devilish Smile)
I decided to unblock Jimmy on Mike's advice, even though he said it was up to me. We definitely need to figure out what "done" means for sure! I was surprised when I got a response within one minute to my "are we BOTH ready to talk like normal people?" message...


From Mochas: Drink coffee! Do stupid things faster with more energy!

glowing_dragon: (No Netspeak!)
Today is Retirement Day! After going to the pharmacy next door at 1 to renew my prescription with Adam and buy some more 70% Biomedic rubbing alcohol (cheaper than London Drugs' $6.50, at $4.20 for 450 mL), I showered and did laundry today.


From Julie: King?! I know my sister used to know a Kings Wong in elementary school, but KING is a dog's name!

glowing_dragon: (Devilish Smile)
I discovered redrum today - ugh! Then I snapped at Jimmy, but that was after I told him about my discovery. He sent me a Happy Pi Day gif which actually made me smile, laugh, and cackle for about two minutes, which he later said was his intention. I appreciated it, for sure!


Happy Pi Day!




Minion: Don't just assume that when I'm angry, I'm on my period. Otherwise when you're sleeping, I'll just "assume" you're dead and bury you in my backyard.




Lame Pun Coon and Quick Meme: Menstruation jokes aren't funny. Period.




Scumbag Uterus: Hey, your period finished today. Just kidding!

I went out early (for me) at 11 on a 407 to London Drugs so I could get an on-sale tall Nescafé coffee canister (December 23, 2016), on-sale De Cecco pasta (farfalle and rigatoni), on-sale Munchies Snack Mix with my last 50¢ (50 cents) off coupon, a Terry's Chocolate Orange / an on-sale Cadbury dark milk chocolate bar / on-sale Ragusa Noir chocolate bar / an on-sale big Jersey Milk chocolate bar for Eric Ho, another on-sale Ragusa Noir bar for myself, on-sale Vancouver Canucks Upper Deck candy fan bags with lollipops / mints / hockey cards x3 (one for me and one for Eric Ho - the other one to be determined - possibly Jimmy's when he gets here in May 2018), on-sale Paterson's Scottish shortbread fingers, Dawn Ultra orange dish detergent, NEW Nongshim SOON Veggie noodles, and NEW on-sale Hershey's COOKIE + Vanilla Creme / COOKIE + Caramel milk chocolate bars. Then it was COFFEE TIME when I got home at 11:45 on another 407.

I found a huge (and somewhat damp) box right by my door. Whatever - at least I don't have to go to the "nearest" Canada Post outlet to pick it up... Oh hey, it's Christmas stuff from Julie! A Peanuts Christmas card, CHRISTMAS HOUSE erasers, Snugadoo Too Super Soft purple striped socks and a red toque, two CHRISTMAS HOUSE jingly necklaces, Hot Tamales Fierce cinnamon jellybeans (better not let the kids have any...), bite-size Tootsie Rolls in a bank, 12 CHRISTMAS HOUSE pencils, CHRISTMAS stickers, and a Christmas memo book with pen!


Pasta and more! )


From Reddit on October 31, 2017: NESTING PARTNER?! I know that LDRs are a thing, but just say that it's the person whom you live with! Also, SearedScallops seems to be involved in more than one relationship at a time. What?!




From Reddit on November 1, 2017: While I can say that ableism does exist because I am a disabled person myself, "creepy" is NOT an ableist term!

And another one because they can fit into the same screenshot when I collapse a bunch of comments...

From Reddit on November 1, 2017: Also, "heavy breathing" is NOT fatphobia! It's the implication that the person is sexually aroused, not that they can't go anywhere without having to catch their breath because they're morbidly obese! Wait - these comments both come from Listen_Up_Slapnuts! That explains something...

Today is Retirement Day!


From Not Always Right: Karen Jessie?!




From Baby's Named A Bad Bad Thing: Norbertine Bresslem-Roth?! Does Norbert REALLY need a feminine form?!




From Not Always Right: Talisha Cooper?! At least this is better than Devontae...




From Not Always Working: Tanqueray Strange?! She isn't even black, so she can't have this name! However, she IS local, being from White Rock!

glowing_dragon: (Bubble Tea)
Today is also Nephew #3 Fraser's SECOND BIRTHDAY! Jon sent me a Facebook message about coming over tomorrow at about 12:15 since they could use my help in feeding and entertaining the kids before / during Jon's teaching at 12:30. Ha! Good luck with feeding them lunch (or any meal, really) in 15 minutes! But I totally understand the need for someone else to keep them generally out of trouble when Daddy is teaching! I also left a message on Chinese Eric's voicemail for his own 37th birthday, too! Then I called Barry about that silverfish issue: somehow, I don't think OFF would solve that problem, but whatever.


HOW TO LOVE YANKEES WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE?!

glowing_dragon: (Default)



"You Are a Go-Getter"




You are a very ambitious person, and you're constantly adding to your list of goals and dreams.
While you dream big, you never let that satisfy you. You like to get out there and make sure your dreams come true.

You don't lose sight of your larger purpose in life, and you keep working even when things get tough.
Your attitude is almost like magic. When every door closes, you keep knocking until a new one opens.







From Reddit on June 18, 2017: I automatically lose respect for people who use the word "normative" when "normal" would do, but this special snowflake seems to think that "monogonormative" is a real word AND thinks that everyone should be cool with a non-monogamous lifestyle. You can DEFINITELY be cheated on if you're poly!

Since I was up at 8:20 AM, it was COFFEE TIME BY DEFAULT! Later, Lucas thought that I was bullying Maddie because I've taken to using the word "sriracha" around her since her Discord screen name is "Maddie the Jirachi." Not my fault that they sound similar! They're both special snowflake teenagers! So then he banned me from his Discord server partly because he thinks that my bringing up the age difference is "pretentious" - hey, it's definitely not my fault that their 18-year-old brains haven't fully developed yet! Later, Alexandra FINALLY broke up with him for not telling her what was going on with him, and I let her know that he seemed controlling and narcissistic as well. I showered tonight.


From FreeThought Blogs on May 30, 2017: "How many intersections can you cram in one feminist? Trans, queer, leather girl, poly, sex-positive, survivor, political anarchist, and of course, atheist." THOSE ARE NOT INTERSECTIONS! I see no street signs or traffic lights in that description!




From Affinity Magazine on April 17, 2017: Misgendering transgender people is NOT violence or psychological abuse! Just ask the people who endure(d) REAL violence or psychological abuse!

glowing_dragon: (Bert and Ernie)
Since I was up at 7 AM, it was COFFEE TIME!


From Janina: Crazy cat lady action figure!




Whenever a publisher's style guidelines eschew use of the Oxford comma, I can only assume that this results from a managerial decision to save money by cutting back on ink, because no reasonable editor would make this decision.




From Discord: Mary had a little lamb. HAD. Let's barbecue the lamb on a spit instead!
