Being generous, the letterer read the script wrong or the writer had shit handwriting -- either way maybe it's meant to be "it bloody well is my business now"

That's fun - I think I will keep US English on my phone but set the iPad to English (New Zealand) just to see what happens

If I sent an email 15 Feb can assume it's safely in the queue, yes?

Sweet Gretsch - I love my Ranchero acoustic

Honestly, yeah, that's probably as useful as anything. I'm limiting myself to basically 10% of what I feel like, and maybe if it were 0% there wouldn't be much down-side.

It's gonna be interesting for me to watch this, considering I have seen like 13.5 minutes of Disco altogether

Good for you for reaching out. These are exactly the moments to call in reinforcements.

All I can tell you is that 25 days in to a 31-day "damp January," I'm looking forward to going back on my medicine soon

Okay, it's not like hucking a brick at the window of a greedy corporation or anything, but it feels like some kind of social norm is being challenged there.

I liked that costume un-ironically

Today, I just feel the need to say I definitely never knew this person, and even if the persona seemed positive, the real person is terrible. And any of that "power of belief" energy people like me contributed needs to dry right up. I'm ashamed and horrified now, more than I was proud then. (3/3)

He nodded and smiled and said "thank you" emphatically. He said "I'm proud of myself for it, as well." And I came away thinking that was nice, I feel like we managed to acknowledge that fans don't really know artists, but they can kind of go on a journey together. In 2001, that seemed healthy. (2/3)

Anyway, that's why I found a manager today at the grocery store, and asked why their giant US flag is not at half-staff. 39th President died, and he gets 30 days.
Turns out I was like the 3rd person today to ask; it's a mistake. They plan to fix it, and the guy with the key to the thing is away.

I'm screwed. Good news, it's Harrison Ford. Bad news, he's like 75 and has Parkinson's, and he fights like a clinical psychologist.

You're playing in-person, right? That's a whole other level of difficulty compared to online, I think.

My Saturday group has survived rough patches caused by scheduling issues, and having a DM in Japan does not help. We're not officially on a break, but it's been weeeeks. It seems like some thing or other can impose a big drag even when the personalities mesh well

DA:O - Human Mage female
DA2: Fem!Hawke purple Rogue
DAI: Trevelyan Mage handsome dashing lad, romanced Josephine
So I was due for another dude and another Rogue, but the voice got me. Got the best ending. This time, we're going to be a little more mean to the Egg.

First-ever Dalish! Loved the Geordie accent on Bryony whatsit, and so I crafted a Veil Jumper rogue. Romanced Emmrich. Saved Treviso, because coffee.
Started a 2nd run with American bro voice on a LoF mage - it's different for sure

I have finished the game!
I tried to listen carefully, the story pulling me along, but didn't catch when Solas did the speech thing.
But I believe you, and it's better if they're hidden or subtle anyway.

I found how easy it is to do that, and am impressed
