I hate staying at most holiday parties for too long, because when I'm around people I don't know that much, I get nervous, and when I get nervous, I eat/drink too fast, and when I eat too fast, I get gastric reflux!

And now I'm trying to figure out if "owl workshop" is a euphemism.
I've been invited to an owl photography workshop. I don't think it was a dirty invite. I wasn't well enough to go so I guess I'll never know.
My random question:
I want to use my Christmas gift card on a nice set of pastel pencils. Do any of you have any recommendations? The art store downtown where I have my card has both Derwent and Faber Castel. I spoke to the manager there on the weekend when we went there when I forgot my card at home and the store won't be carrying much Derwent product going forward for brand relation issues. It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me but I can get a 24 pack of Derwent from them on clearance but they won't have any single pencils going forward. I could spend more now and get a 24 pack of the Faber Castel which they will have singles of going forward. The gift card would cover the whole Derwent set but not the other.
I could still get the Derwent ones on line but the art stores here and in Fredericton wouldn't carry them. I am concerned that I will break one or step on one or use one up in one sitting. Maybe these aren't things that happen.

I don't know anything about Derwent. I used Faber Castel 30 years ago, and they were excellent.
If the discount is good enough, buy the Derwent, then replace breaks with the pricier FC, help keep the local store open.

That was an MMA fighter going up against a 50 year old professional wrestler (as in like WWE, not like Greco-Roman). Rizin doesn't have any sanctioning body to answer to, so sometimes these trainwrecks happen.
Brazleton: Your chances at Felicia Day, she's about to have a kid, apparently.
I mean if you want to bone a pregnant lady that's cool for you, but no thanks
... Pregnancies don't last forever unless you die during childbirth, and IIRC she's scheduled to give birth in under a month. I am not attracted to Felicia Day, anyhow. Whenever I see her face I just picture her whinnying while Chazwozel feeds her carrots, ruins it.

There are many, many porn sites that tell me in fact lots of people would like to do just that.
There are many, many pregnant ladies that would like you to do just that. Did you think they want to be the bedroom pariah for 9 months?

I never really felt weird about sex during pregnancy. Never felt that weird about it during the menstrual cycle either.
No, but the extra clean-up required and the lesser amount of possible foreplay does dampen the spirits somewhat. I don't particularly mind but she's more often unwilling to go through all the trouble.
On the one hand there's not a ten minute shuttle to the train station, so I won't be dying of dehydration as much this winter, on the other hand there's still no shorter bus time to the freaking mall. Its 20 minutes by car, but the only bus that goes there would be an hour plus long car ride!
Damn! It was a dirty invite!!
All those weeks of planning down the drain

So we know that there are cool pizza places that will do dumb special requests, but FYI, pizza hut is NOT one of them. ZERO sense of humor. My special request was "T-Rex vs Cthulu drawing" and they called me to confirm and then hung up on me. I certainly hope I at least get my pizza that i paid for and that it is free of spit and/or semen.
I got another Michaels gift card so I used it on a small set of the Farber Castel (it was a family card so I got us each a treat) and will use my card at the shop downtown for single pastels in that set
I don't remember which one, but one of the brands of "licorice" at a store where I used to work used to taste like someone had just mashed Swedish fish through a Play-Doh factory. I loved that stuff.

Actually, when you're not looking, your A-to-B cables secretly change into A-to-Micro cables. That's why you can never find a printer cable when you need one.

Wasn't the whole point of that Eurozone law to REDUCE the amount of waste made by making all chargers microUSB?

At least they're not USB-A to USB-B, or worse, mini-b.
