...you read The Martian over Christmas break and your first thought is, "It's just like SSSS!  Decisive female captain, big, stoic, hard-to-understand foreign guy, cute little female (software) engineer with mad skillz, secretly soft-hearted egomaniac, incredible technology, friendship, self-sacrifice, and lots of black humor... and it's all about finding a sixth member of the crew!"

Your second thought is, "Da-aamn, NASA really plans ahead carefully for dangerous missions like this and allots plenty of resources.  What's wrong with the Stingy Quartet -- do they truly not care if their crew lives or dies?"

Let me add that "The Martian" is awesome.  It would particularly appeal to the SSSS readership, not just for the qualities listed above, but because it's basically all about engineering survival solutions in the most threatening circumstances.  (I'm lookin' at you, inhabiters of the weapons, uniform, and agriculture threads, especially...)

One of my favorite books/movies in a long time! Who do you think would be Mark Watney out of the crew, by the way?

You pay a visit to the thrift store and walk out with a sweater you weren't intending to buy because it had selburoses on it.

I'm guilty of this. Also because "it looked vaguely Icelandic." :P

which reminds me, if I have time in the next two weeks, I'd like to get the comic's transcription to text format started (to make any future translations easier)

You're in the library and see a woman balancing a stack of books on her head, and immediately have to fight the urge to giggle because it reminded you of Sigrun.

In my case: you have tons of work to do, but keep thinking of doing fan art, because better and better ideas are popping up in your head. And you are frustarted since you can't draw at work; monitoring reports can't be sent with owl and Onni doodles...

When you start the Swedish track on Duolingo, even though you know like 3 words of Swedish and none of the words bear any resemblance to the other language you're using Duolingo to practice. (And you're annoyed Duo doesn't have tracks for Finnish or Icleandic).

The enterity of Sigur Ros and Jonsi's careers suddenly has become what you listen to when you re-read
In fact, it has become the soundtrack of SSSS and every character is quickly assigned a theme, right down to Bosse

Sigur Rós is so great as an atmospheric soundtrack. Of course I'm very curious about Bosse's theme now :D
