Review/Analysis of DS9's "The Sword of Kahless"

[tv-366.blogspot.com]

DS9 takes a break from Sci-fi to go down the fantasy path, with a quest for a legendary item. And while it's not cursed, it might as well be, given how it affects everybody who comes close to it.

Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon

[(Anonymous)]

will you be getting them?

Re: Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon

[morieris]

No.

Rather get the G/S ports.

Re: Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon

[(Anonymous)]

yes, but I still haven't beaten pokemon moon yet lmao. I'll probably beat it in the nick of time to get the utlra version.

Re: Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon

[badass_tiger]

Yes, but months after release. I've got two pricey figures on PO in October (shortly before game release) and March (a few months after) so I'm going to be low on cash during that time. I'm not really fussed though. I used to be super into Pokemon and while I still love it, my time of being an 'omg must avoid spoilers and get it at release night!!'-type fan are over.

Never seen that before

[el_regrs]

What's something you've never seen before today? This week? This month? Or even this year?

Today I saw a tow truck transporting a big yellow school bus.

Then I came home and found two earthworms fucking on the sidewalk.

When was the last time you felt schadenfreude?

Ideal Dream Vacation

[(Anonymous)]

If you could go vacation anywhere right now, with cost as no object, where would you go?

Try to limit it to like... 3 places that are reasonably close to each other, maybe? Or not. Do as you like, really.

What video game did you never complete that you actually WANTED to complete?

[(Anonymous)]

Why didn't you finish it?

Squirrels

[(Anonymous)]

They are basically the monkeys of the Northern Hemisphere, right? I mean squirrels are, in Europe and North America, occupying the ecological niche monkeys would fill. That is why we have no monkeys in Europe and NA, isn't it? Man, I wish we had monkey species in the UK though. Can't even release some macaques or geladas in this country without the RSPCA and cops kicking up a fuss. Hell, can't even release native species like Pine Martens on Primrose Hill without almost getting arrested. Thank god the Met are still easily bribed.

What tugs at your heartstrings every time you read/watch/listen to it?

Life Hacks and Pointers that have changed your life

[(Anonymous)]

What are some simple little pointers "life hacks" you've gotten that have positively changed your life and how?

Adaptations and changes that annoys you

[(Anonymous)]

That conflicted feeling when you're annoyed that the movie adaptation changes the POV character/protagonist from a bumbling loser to a "stick-up-their-ass" bureaucrat and you can't be mad because it's the comic creator himself and his buddy doing the changes. Bonus points for the fact that I haven't actually read the graphic novel, only seen panels here and there. Protagonist is still going to be that stupid sexy demon. No clue yet if he'll get the wings, though.

This little venting brought to you by Zombillenium and the change from cute loser Aurelian Zahner with the fluffy sideburns, to stuffy standards controler and single dad Hector Sachs. I'm still excited for the movie, though and will see it as soon as it comes out.

When you find yourself having second thoughts about making a baked potato for dinner because it might be tantamount to selling your lover's soul to the devil, one or more of the following must be true:
1. You read too much fanfic.
2. The fanfic you read is too weird.
3. Your fandoms are too weird.

*anon, can I please have a link to Amazon, Goodreads, or another site that confirms this book's availability? Thank you!

Recs will stay open either a) until Friday or b) until we have 15 recs, whichever comes first.

Here's a quick Amazon link for the Sayers (there's also a free digital version somewhere but I'm too lazy to track it down right now):

https://www.amazon.com/Strong-Poison-Dorothy-L-Sayers/dp/0062196200/

BUT ALSO I wanted to get peoples' opinions (if anyone cares) on whether it would be better to do Strong Poison or Gaudy Night by Sayers. I went with Strong Poison cause it's earlier in the series, but I can see really good reasons for doing Gaudy Night as well. Does anyone have any feelings about this? Please reply. They're equally available to read, so no worries there.

Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye: A Do-It-Yourself Mouth Care System for Healthy, Clean Gums and Teeth - Ellie Phillips

[(Anonymous)]

I'm seeing the No-Bullshit Guide or Ring of Bright Water standing out as nicely different candidates for me. Maybe more Ring of Bright Water, since it is further away from the fantasy thing. Ring of Bright Water is a movie too, so we can discuss differences to that maybe too.
