    Minor victory thread

    So I've been in a funk recently - just generally mild-to-moderately depressed for the last few months. Last week was incredibly busy, and I was super tired. This past Saturday my favourite musician was in town, playing the city's largest (I think) venue. And I had snagged 6th row floor...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Dune: Part 2 (IMAX) Visually stunning; beautifully shot. Sound design was also spot on. The character of Paul remained engaging to watch, Jessica has agency again, which is nice. Stilgar remains my favourite character, though he's been... significantly simplified. And Chani is put in some...

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    So I'm on vacation this week - no plans, just catching up on sleep and hobbies. Hooray! Aaaand, I'm sick (not Covid, I've checked), but just generally feeling like shit. Stuffed up and coughing and generally hurting. This is not how I wanted to spend my downtime.

    The day I cave on buying squishmallows is the day this house gets overrun with them! I have no self-control when it comes to stuffies.

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    For the second time in the span of less than a year, I find myself grieving the death of a friend of mine - in both cases who is... sorry, was... younger than me. A colleague and friend died two days ago; and for all we weren't especially close, I did consider her a friend and I am shocked and...

    The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

    Couldn't agree more. I've been a fan of Chapman since "New Beginning" came out in 1995, and I still just adore her voice and overall vocal style.

    Apple will never satisfy my lust for cheap, powerful hardware

    Whereas this just screams "Mug Me! I have no concept of my surroundings!"

    Put those verses back in context, so help me! Also, that was hilarious.

    "What are you reading?" thread.

    I finished this first book just before New Years, but haven't had time to write up anything. Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb (complete review) While I think the first half of the book is stronger than the back half, I think that is mainly due to the excellence in worldbuilding and there being less...

    [TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

    My in-laws really like it. I ... pretty much hate every character, and slogged through the first season just to have something to talk about on the phone with them.

    "What are you reading?" thread.

    Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb (incomplete review, as I'm on ~pg 350 of 800 or so, but I'm at a "part" boundary, so this seemed like a good time) First off, a shout-out to @ThatNickGuy who picked this up (and the rest of the trilogy!) for Secret Santa for me this year. I have really been enjoying...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I have this morning and tomorrow morning in the office, then Sunday's two services then I'm off for the rest of the year. It's effectively 2 days before the "big day" and I feel like I should be running around like a chicken with my head cut off, yet... it's quiet. I've done all the home...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Barbie (2023) Ya, I know, I'm late to the party. But it was worth the wait. I expected it to be good - I've seen enough gifs and quotes etc. - but I didn't expect that good. Would watch again. And I never re-watch movies. Goofy and bright, yet sincere with cutting commentary. And it all...

    Halforums Secret Santa 2023

    A suspicious box has arrived! It may be a mimic... It contains multitudes. Multitudes of BOOKS! Books books books books books. I do love me some books! Specifically, I've been wanting to try out this trilogy! So I'm super pumped for this. AND! I can't find my old copy of 'Year of Living...

    That is an abomination against good taste and a number of other things.
