Sad mezzo. Toils in the development money mines for the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Sometimes I just want to be Link from the Legend of Zelda.

Just got my 2nd shot in the HPV series last week! Get vaxxed!
This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

😂 Olivia does not miss and while I want her to do “Schöne Müllerin” next, isn’t that one already infused with dirtbag energy?
"no seriously you think it’s so funny that i saw flowers in winter

My pianist and I got to coach Britten’s “On this Island” with Roger Vignoles and Vignoles told me I had a great feel for Britten’s music 😭

Listen, I’ve only seen Rogue One once and I distinctly remember hating the end sequence with Vader. It‘s not shot to make him look scary; it’s shot to make him look like a badass as he mows down NPCs. Same reason I gave up on the Mandalorian after S2‘s ending with Luke doing much the same thing.
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

So many good ideas in this thread and don’t miss Dan’s original thread in the quote!
Find yourself a friend whose love language is giving gifts and ask them what to get for your entire extended family.
Hint I am that friend.

Have now seen ”The Boy and the Heron” three times since it was released and I’m finally starting to grasp its themes and notice the threads through the whole film. It is dense with meaning!

Also, do agree somewhat with another person on here that thinks this fundamentally will not work because Link has always been the player’s avatar instead of a fully realized character—to which I say: Yeah, but *gestures at every LOZ fanfic ever which manage handily to give Link interiority*
Ok look, I am Team “This should have been animation, preferably by Studio Ghibli,” but the number of people in the quotes who think this aesthetically looks bad is distressing. Look at the stitching on Link’s tunic! Zelda is armed with a bow! That is all very good!
First look at the live-action ‘LEGEND OF ZELDA’ movie

“Chronic rejection of temporal accuracy in favor of joy” is my new life goal
And we signed off as we usually do-
“Okay, don’t forget to have the best birthday”
“You too! Happy birthday, treat yourself!”
And from the background grumblings, I know my sweet SIL has had her day ruined by our chronic rejection of temporal accuracy in favor of joy.

Oh wow, somebody finally articulated my whole cooking deal when I switched to a full-time office job four years ago. I‘ve finally accepted that I just have to have a snack when I get home and then “aaaaah hungryyyy” quiets down enough that I can find the energy to deal with dinner
The issue seems to be that I love thinking about breakfast food and lunch sandwiches, but care very little for the concept of dinner. Also, I get home from work hungry and with no interest in spending 90 minutes cooking before I eat, so then I just snack.

I’m told that the results of a single election reflect a perfect, unchanging, and inescapable spirit of the Volk, so I will expect us all to start respecting the American people’s desire for Woke Maximalism.
