  1. that rare occasion you try something new, a whole new genre, and it's so good you can't help but execute a Picard blouse pull at yourself for not having thought to explore before now...

     

    saw this merely at our local grocer and loved that it declares to be a 'thinking person's gin' ... give it a try

  2. woop, sorry Bruce, thank you for asking, how's your new place anyway ...

     

    we were fortunate beyond what we deserve to be hired full-time for Building Services at the college ... a sea change for us who've never had benefits of any kind, suddenly inundated with terms like medical, vision, dental, sick time, personal time, holiday pay, even the r-word and something called AD&D, which was briefly mistaken for role-playing activities offered by HR --

     

    today was my Friday, now that Wednesdays are the new Monday ... no more live-action Sunday football or golf ... comic book day will have to share tacos with Tuesdays

  3. make it not so

     

    haven't seen that report anywhere else trusted, such as trekcore ... the dude was demoted before Discovery began; could be similar to manufactured strife on the WW set three years ago

     

    regardless, it is mathematically and objectively impossible for anything with Jean-Luc to be rated eighty-percent awful

  4. it's now the second time I've spent the better part of a day with a complete stranger in civilian clothes who turned out to be a chief warrant officer ... the first was on a plane from Salt Lake to SD -- then today at orientation, one of our group served twenty-two years and retired CWO-3 ... didn't get a chance to ask his specialty but we spoke briefly about inroads female Marines have earned

     

    there is no god but our dumb luck to work at a place with the highest outreach to veterans in the state makes us believe in her

  5. hold the horn ... in six months Gromnir retired, Shady has a lawn and Hurl is a professional amateur cyclist ... if Bruce has given up cheese or GD said goodbye to Kentucky's finest I will turn this car around

     

    orientation at the college tomorrow, even though we've been there two years part-time ... this prospect of full-time is a rare and welcome fundamental attitude adjustment

  6. sorry to double but after Dark Phoenix we stopped by Stone and discovered a delightful staple reimagined

     

    the standard is a dead ringer ... put your nose in the imperial is exactly like as if you made it with wheat bread (curiously it says the Liberty Station location but we landed at the main one up here in the north)

  7. on the ale front, have mostly abandoned stouts and gone to gose, become best friends with berliner weisse (raspberry coffee ale, must try to believe)

     

    spirit wise, still being best with bourbons, but enjoying a neat young irish whiskey by the name of Teeling that spent six months in a rum barrel

  8. wasn't today, exactly -- and while we don't feel smarter or less certain imposter syndrome won't take effect, we did make small gains in maturity, wisdom and gratitude surviving a trio of committee interviews for a non-instruction position at a local college ... turns out a stable job that offers retirement is an instant cure for anxious emotional dithering

  9.  

    The t-shirts were that stretch material that is junk!!  

     

    If by stretch material you mean low thread count then this is accurate. Transparent is not the right word but one can see one's fingers backlit through the material. Charcoal sheer is the color I would label both, not durable black as were the PoE1 garments, who have kept their mettle through nearly four years of washes.

     

    Still, it does say 'Backer' on the sleeve, nicely. 

     

    Hoodie seems fine but I daren't subject it to the washing machine test. 

  10. Went full evil once with a Bleak Walker paladin but was not nearly as enjoyable. Had to maintain Cruel and I think Aggressive dispositions to keep class bonuses ... kicking a hungry Roparu woman just to get the cruelty points is not engaging, rewarding gameplay, for me at least.

     

    Even so, felt like plenty of reactivity in the game for evildoers.

  11. last time there the first thing we heard was an air-raid siren, or coulda been a typhoon warning, no one knew but it was definitely cloudy

     

    going home the plane was delayed two hours so our connector from LA to SD was missed and we enjoyed a midnight Astro van tour all the way from Los Angeles

  12. rat finks and pundits say pre-season don't matter, but

     

    four turnovers and 15 penalties, inauspicious start, said few Angelinos into their kale lattes

     

    would likely give the nod to Shimonek over Cardale or Geno for backup QB given this season has to be Rivers' odds-on injury year

     

    Hunter Henry is already done with a torn ligament, so

  13. also Brent Spiner is confirmed for a role on CW's Supergirl this fall, would be a shame if, while he's at it, Data doesn't reunite with Picard, say, after receiving an aesthetic aging program to compliment the emotion chip, still fully functional, obvs

     

    and Deanna, please, and Worf, Geordi ... I have his autograph, don't wake me from this dream
