Oh yeah, you're right... somewhere, my old geology teacher is cursing my name right now  :-[

Truth to be told, I don't understand the deal with marble bathrooms. I mean, it's highly soluble in water. Granite makes much more sense.

I freaking love how the semi-cosplay is of the team rocket and you have the most cute Pokémon in your shoulder
Also, wow those buttons are hella rare to find in here. Maybe in the manga saloon there are buttons like that (I'm not sure if I go to that con so herp derp)

I guess Team Rocket technically qualify as outlaws. Also dat selfie-expression.

it's moorngniiiiingggg!! it's saturday and this is the earliest i've been up all weeeek

with "hella rare to find" I think you mean Unobtainable Outside The Internet*. also they now seem to be unobtainable on the internet as well, as it seems the storenvy I bought them from no lonter exists... which is sad because that was a pretty great set of pins (they had more types, too!)

I guess Team Rocket technically qualify as outlaws. Also dat selfie-expression.
how to take selfie:
1) attempt to look cool or pretty
2) fail
3) make silly expression on purpose so you don't dislike how it turns out

Just a quick hello from me :)
I'm still around, mostly lurking, because I have so few free time at the moment. The last weeks, I have been either ill or working extra hours to catch up with all the work that didn't get done while I was ill... which stressed me a lot and led to further illnesses. At the moment I'm battling an eye infection, but it looks as if I'm finally winning. Plus, it is Saturday and I got to spend some time on the forum, which is always nice :)

If I'm actually an anthropomorphic snowman I might have also just borrowed all those photos and stories from someone else's trip....  :o
You know, people might be more willing to accept the idea that you routinely do impossible combos if you were to claim being a snowMAN who's NON-anthropomorphic ...

but with fancy architecture comes RIDICULOUS SOLUTIONS

THESE ARE THE SINKS IN THE BATHROOM
CAN YOU SEE THE SINKS BECAUSE I SURE CAN'T
There seems to be a "gutter" between the "desk" and the vertical marble surface, and that in turn seems to be recessed behind the plane of the mirrors. I take it that there are motion sensors above to start water (and soap?) streaming straight down and into the "gutter"? Or did they go crazy to the point of making the water flow along the marble surface (so that you have to press your hands against it from all sides to get them wet all around)?

Hotels generally like to be avantgarde with their interior architecture and there certainly is some crazy design happening to taps and sinks lately, but I don't think that the apparent trend of trying to make all visible surfaces perfectly flat and either horizontal or vertical (so that water splashed around will just sit there, instead of running off) is going to stay for long. ::)

i can't cosplay bc i have to have my shirt and badge visible but i can like. semi-cosplay
Well, if you don't like the bathroom anyway, what's keeping you from choosing some character noted for his mile-wide pants? :D

Wer jetzt nicht Pluderhosen hat,
die schier zur Erde hangen
mit Zotten wie des Teufels Wat
der kann nicht höflich prangen.
Es ist solchs so ein schnöde Tracht,
der Teufel hat's gewiss erdacht,
wird selbst sein also gangen.

Fen Shen, I hope your eye infection clears up soon!

As for myself, while everyone else is probably off doing important and fun activities, we're having a bit of a heatwave today so nuts to that. I've got 2 litres of iced water, a massive bag of crisps, and my approximately 120-strong DVD collection.
Stay strong, bladder - we're not moving 'till sundown.

Good luck with that. The bladder can hold up to six litres if it must. I have never extended it to that level as far as I know.
