Huh? Is Back to the Future actually a big deal? I've never watched any of them ...

My family, being very nerdy, has occasional sci-fi/fantasy movie marathons where we'll watch an iconic movie series, and so I've seen most of the big ones. Multiple times  ::)

I'd recommend Back to the Future if you like cheesy sci-fi movies. It's fun, but if you're not a fan of that genre, you won't really enjoy it much.
:usa: Yes.
:spain: Out of practice.
:finland: Failed to learn.
:vaticancity: Probably remember five words.

they're kinda iconic?

Yep, they're a classic!
I just rewatched the second one today, and I love it to pieces.

This week has been a really great week: first the Star Wars trailer and now the first day of the future!! ;D

As is customary, for Hallooween, the author of Monster Pulse has drawn her main cast of characters disguised in various costumes.

And the theme this year is video games.

AND THERE ARE CHARACTERS FROM UNDERTALE.

Monster Pulse should be right your alley, there are weird monsters which are actually body parts, and weirdo kids who band together against adversity, and feels. All the feels.

Nice catch on Cucumber Quest, I had totally missed that :o

So. I have to go in less than 6 hours and I'm doing researches on natural ways to dye, because I always make one mistake. I'm... not even surprise to do that. And not ready T_T

I got a big brown faux-fur coat the other day at a garage sale and have finally gotten the chance to wear it. Needless to say, I have been humming Macklemore's Thriftshop for the past hour, swaggering more than usual, and feeling pretty fleek if I do say so myself  ;)

- Little to no fans? Like, for ventilation? So when you're done everything you brought into that room with you is covered in damp mist.
Don't I know what you mean. Luckily, there usually is a window in the bathrooms of the hotels I frequent. Straight to the great single-digit-centigrade outdoors as winter approaches, yaaay.

- Shower floors continued: When you're done you cant step onto dry floor, all the floor is un-dry.
In hotels over here, towels usually come in sets of three - a large one to dry off after showering/bathing, a small one for handwashing, and another small one to put between your feet and the unheated floor tiling. Or, in this case, the wet floor.

I have yet to have a hotel complain about having to provide me with a new feet-towel every day because their bathroom floor insists on getting wetter than Lallis haven ...

what are the peeps who need handrails gonna do when there are no handrails, or anything to stop them falling over? *waves fist at sky*
Can't say that I have much experience in using them (for that purpose), but there are "travel bathtub handles" with large suction cups. Actually just a differently-colored version of the double-floor-tile lifters me and my colleagues use in server rooms ...



Got one of those for my mother's home, the intent being that she'd try a couple positions and then I break out the drill to install a bombproof one. Never proceeded to the second phase, though ...

wait this one actually looks like it could be ok
except theres no handrail thingies
Or taps to turn on the shower in the first place ... !?

I'm allowed to listen to any radio channel I like when I'm sitting at the shop alone, which leads to situations where I wonder if it were possible to headbang discreetly and whether or not it would be bad for business...
Of course. Just have your head hidden beneath enough hair.

So today was incredibly long, but insanely awesome! I was helping with a book signing for Kentucky Authors, learned that the one owns her own publishing company, and she offered to get my work published. I was so excited that she'd offer that. Plus I got to hang out with a bunch of cool people. But my day did not end there in payment for helping out the host gave me a ticket to a concert that was being held by the place that owned the store the book signing took place in. It was soo awesome and just wow. I'm so excited and tired now, but I had soo much fun.

....yes! I loved the topic, I just had no physical/mental energy to write it and that's why it took so long -___-
I could have written on French New Wave, New Hollywood, Italian...something, Musicals, Westerns, or Horror. And the selected horror films were Nosferatu, The Mummy, The Shining, The Exorcist, The Descent and the Orphanage I think.... I was gonna write on Nosferatu but I decided to cut it to save time ;__;
