  1. OMM: Thought my sister was gonna teach me how to knit over the holiday weekend, but she ended up teaching me how to felt. I literally spent about 4 hours total today just stabbing clumps of wool into certain shapes with needles. I made two dogs though so that's pretty neat Thank you! It went pretty alright, the main difference was that we couldn't bake rolls this year, but everything else was able to be prepared fairly close to the usual way. I was actually pretty surprised how smoothly things went haha
  2. I didn't think anyone would try to help since this thread's kinda dead, so thank you! c: It might be...? A lot of actress from the 1910s - 1920s look the same to me so I haven't got the slightest clue. I was looking at the blog listed in the corner of the gif though, and that user reblogged quite a few things of Lillian Gish so it's possible! Maybe! The clothes certainly do look like they could be from there. And going off this image, the girl on the right does look like the girl in the gif. Orphans of the Storm is a pretty long movie, but when I find the time to watch it, I'll report back to see if you somehow managed to find the source c:
  3. I've been trying, but I can't find what movie this gif is from or who the actress is

  6. Dear anon, I don't have any animosity towards you or anything, but it was pretty funny to see you go from looking so pleased with yourself and smug to shocked when you realized you skipped the wrong day in class. --kid who sits across from you

  8. OMM 1: The fridge and oven at my house are both broken and we have family coming over for Thanksgiving tomorrow :') OMM 2: I changed my twitter @ for the first time in 18 or so months today now I gotta go update a bunch of links
  9. Diamond no Ace second season ep 34: I watched Oofuri--I had a feeling this would happened. "Are you hurt anywhere?" "Everywhere, heh." yOU can't play that off as a comic relief moment, the kid just got freaking rammed by a player that's probably got 30 lbs - 50 lbs on him you can't do that especially not when they're going into extra innings you can't just do that Mobile Suit Gundam: I'm officially more than halfway through and therefore now feel qualified enough to have some semblance of an opinion. Characters are starting to be developed more which is good. Bright's probably my favorite, partially because he's slapped both Kai and Amuro when they were being selfish/sexist/generally irritating. Sayla's also neat. Char hasn't been around much at all since ep 12 or so, so I don't really have much of an opinion of him at the moment since the most I saw of him was in the beginning episodes. I'm assuming that'll change soon though. The plot's really formulaic, it bothered me a lot at first, but I've gotten used to it. I do wish the White Base would lose at least once though. It should've happened multiple times already, but it hasn't and it's starting to irritate me slightly. The opening's really grown on me since I started Gundam. It's more or less a little saddening that even the characters who have died are still shown in the opening. I know I've seen an anime or two that has edited out characters in the opening/ending once they've died and I wish they would've done that here. Maybe that's thinking a little too advanced for an anime from 1979 though, especially considering how certain cliches and character troupes weren't even around back then. It also bothers me a little bit just how plastic the gundam and other gun- weaponry look. The bright red, white, yellow, and blue combination is very toy-ish. Sometimes it can take away from the experience a tad because it looks so out of place for the setting. (Like if we're in a battlefield, a large robot is already farfetched, but a very flashy, giant robot is even more so. I don't want camouflage mechs, but at least in the few other mecha things I've seen, a lot of the mechs had darker colors and at least looked somewhat intimidating. Meanwhile the gundam and gun-'s occasionally just look like giant toys. The Zeon mechs don't look as childish, but the Federation's, for the most part, really, really do at times.) My main complaint at the moment though, is that since it's gotten a little more plot heavy in recent episodes, I'm starting to dislike that the episode previews comes before the ending theme. I liked that at first, but the show has now spoiled itself three or four times because of it and just... why would you spoil character deaths? I just don't see any benefit to doing that, it ruins the surprise and lessens the reaction from the viewer :c TL;DR: 's pretty good. I've heard great things about Zeta and the War in Pocket OVA so at the very least, I will be sticking with Gundam's UC timeline through those. I started MSG with the intention (and hopes) of getting really into the entire (or at least most of it) franchise though, so hopefully this is just the very, very beginning
  10. ...have you tried talking to them? Or did you just unfortunately end up with an unreasonable professor?
  11. OMM 1: aww yiss, after the news of one of the last white rhinos dying recently, I brought up how the last sumatran rhino in the western hemisphere is at the Cincinnati zoo, but will be leaving for Indonesia soon, and if he's still there come spring, we're gonna go see him because Cinci's a lot shorter drive than Cleveland and my sister lives down around there so we won't have to pay for a hotel because the 17 year old wants to go to the zoo OMM 2: It snowed about 2inches yesterday, and my neighbors deemed that was the perfect excuse to break out the xmas stuff and put their tree up already you... you couldn't wait week? *butts into the conversation* it was 12F when I woke up this morning.... the feels like temp was 1F....... and funnily enough, the high for Thursday is 57F.. .. . .. . ... ..
  12. Headaches caused by temperature changes why is this a thing you can't tell me humans are so well evolved and more advanced than everything else on this planet and then give me a pity look every fall when the trees and air pressure changes bring me to my knees. my cat doesn't have these problems despite her being below humans, this isn't fair Well.. the professor might've put them with you because they believed that you might be more patient and understanding with them than other students. Assuming groups weren't randomly assigned of course.. if that is the case though, that sounds like a slightly irritating stroke of luck People who choose to remain ignorant are the worst. Ignorance in and of itself can't be helped though since everyone's ignorant in one way or another.

  21. Dear anon, To be blunt, I probably should have unfriended a long time ago, but your ignorance + arrogance combo is just so... "interesting" to watch, I haven't. I never thought of you as notably smart, but I didn't think you were stupid by any means. That being said, it shouldn't have to be explained to you, or anyone for that matter, to not spread pictures around of victims of horrible events--especially recent ones. Using a tragedy to promote your own political views is incredibly, incredibly shitty. For someone who regularly boasts about their own maturity, you sure do a terrible job at pretending you're an at least a somewhat compassionate being. -- *irritated exhale* -------------- Dear anonymous, Please teach me how to knit. I'm very cold. -- your much younger sibling + the cat
