I wasn't planning on heading to bed yet but my sister is watching Fit's stream.. Ramon is being dangerboy while Chayanne is tagging along.
What with my curse when I listen to the streams I noped straight outta there.
Nothing is allowed to happen to Chayanne anyway but absolutely not before he sees his dad again.

I couldn't get to sleep so I thought I'd catch up on QSMP Tumblr stuff and now I REALLY can't sleep.
I thought qMissa coming back would give qPhilza a deserved break. I mean, I love how devoted Philza is to Chayanne and Tallulah but he always seems (justifiably) anxious about their safety.
I'm now anxious myself about what I'm reading Missa is doing with Chayanne.

I am taking my unofficial and extremely unwanted designation as The Jinx uber seriously rn. I'm off to bed as my sister has just started watching Philza going off to visit the shit factory
-in the dark
-on the water
-with Talullah, Chayanne and Pomme
That's enough without any help from me continuing to listen in. I will dream of a pleasant and uneventful fishing trip for them all.

If I had a penny for every time I got too involved in a fandom where planes and boats with people of various nationalities crash into a mysterious island, where white bears appear, where there's a gigantic religious statue, where two entities embody good and evil (but neither can be trusted), where time is genuinely fucked up, where the people stranded need to complete pointless tasks or something bad will happen, where death happens indiscriminately and without a clear purpose, I would have two pennies. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice.

I'm fine with the Egg Event ending, as much as anyone is. Which is not at all, got to go touch some grass etc.
The problem is that as long as new arrivals get eggs it isn't ending. We're always hoping, despite experience, that Everything Will Be Okay because the event isn't ending, look, they're still giving Eggs, maybe the Islanders will all live happily ever after with their weird little egg kids!
*blows raspberry of disbelief*

Honest, I haven't listened to any live streams since the French arrived what with being The Jinx and Dapper losing that life.
So I've just been catching up through Tumblr and we've got Schrödinger's Bobby?
This feels particularly cruel.

I have decided I am The Jinx.
I don't watch any QSMP streams because I protect my mental health. Also partially blind, so not watching is literal. My sister keeps me informed.
I have only listened live to two Philza streams. Tonight's and that one when Chayanne and Tallulah had their "nightmare".
I will not watch any more live streams, I promise. I am so sorry.

Royalty, or accomplish heroic deeds
Cursed
Have an animal sidekick
Have a romantic interest who breaks the curse
May I present Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Jungle Cruise.

I think that pre-Adam there were only especially hirsute Welshmen* of uncertain personal hygiene standards who liked their meat very rare.
After Adam put everything right, there are now werewolves, Nessie and chips from the chippy that are just how you like them.
*so maybe not actually Welsh, but past rugged and way through unkempt with a gruff accent to match.
I wish Terry was still with us. I'm trying to decide whether there are werewolves in the Good Omens universe. (Not for any actual reason. It just started itching at the back of my head.) I think the answer is probably no, but now I want to call Terry and see what he thinks.

Who else thinks it's hilarious to see the BBC's highest paid sports pundit realise just how awesome the Welsh National Anthem is?
You want to be at the Millennium Stadium during Six Nations time, Gary bach.

I'm fairly sure that's a comedy routine. Doctor Who is actually a 60s rock band who ended up writing theme songs for American forensic dramas.
thoughts on doctor who?
Is that another Tumblr imaginary movie?

I am older than you, Sam, but I bow down to your great wisdom as Tumblr's Internet Dad. I am very happy to not have Die Hard squeezed into my list. I am also equally happy with the suggestion of While You Were Sleeping, it's been YEARS since I last watched it.
Probably a better Alan Rickman Christmas movie is surprisingly not Love Actually but Robin Hood Prince of Thingymabobs. I'm convinced Alan got the script and said "Fuck it, let's do a pantomime!" which likely confused the he'll out of the non Brits.
I hadn't heard about the Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks thing but at the time I was so done with Bruce I've never seen Bonfire of the Vanities.
Hi Sam, I'm just about to read your Christmas Hallmark movies post. I'm looking for something different to fill in spaces in my Christmas movie advent calendar. At the moment I'm looking at Santa Paws, which I think says it all in the title.
I do have a question for you, though. This is something that splits our household but i will accept your ruling.
Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
Honestly in my opinion Die Hard is barely a movie. 
I haven't seen it in a long time because I find it tedious, so I'm not really qualified to argue whether or not it's a Christmas movie. But since I can't really wade into the debate, instead I will tell you a story about Bruce Willis and the time Tom Hanks reportedly bullied him on the set of Bonfire Of The Vanities.
This was in 1989 or so, and it's difficult to convey just how famous both of these men were at the time. In particular, Willis was famous for his "smirk" which you can probably see in Die Hard several times in place of acting. It had reached the point where not only was he very close to becoming a parody of himself every time he smirked, he was tired of hearing about it.
So Willis and Hanks are watching the dailies from the shoot, and at one point on the film Willis smirks. And Hanks turns to him and says, lightly, "Ah, there it is! The famous smirk!"
Willis reportedly became enraged and stormed out, and it became known as the time Tom Hanks was an asshole to Bruce Willis. The fact that Tom Hanks neutrally remarking on something everyone was definitely going to notice is considered him "being an asshole" is a testament to just how nice and professional he apparently is. (Also we are all sleeping on Colin Hanks who is extremely funny and looks and sounds so much like his father I suspect some kind of cloning experiment.)
Anyway, While You Were Sleeping is a much more enjoyable movie than Die Hard and also twice the Christmas movie that Die Hard could ever hope to be, so the point is a bit moot I feel.

Our bathroom was built as an extension so in the winter it's the coldest room in the house. I hate carpets in bathrooms SO. DAMN. MUCH. but I have reluctantly put a rug down as the weather is turning. I am just going to have to accept that I will be washing the hell out of that rug regularly until the spring or the owners install underfloor heating.
I would, however, agree that the wooden mats with a lower profile are less of a trip hazard for people like me but do seem to trap dirt fairly easily.
Okay, the wooden bath mats look neat. But how high off the floor do they rise? I'm chronic for not knowing where my feet are at the best of times and stumbling to the bathroom at 2am is never when I'm at my most coordinated. Are they a serious toe-stubbing risk? Or are they kind of okay? I could see a cm or so as being workable, but in your photo they look kind of tall?
Yeah, I would put them at a toe-stubbing risk for people who aren't good with feet placement for sure -- they're more like 3-4cm raised off the ground (somewhere around an inch to an inch and a half). They are lightweight and movable so more likely you'd just kinda kick one a few inches, but they do have a serious rise.
I haven't had any issues with the mat by the bathtub, because it's far enough into the room I can see it when I walk in, but if you aren't good at remembering to step up when you enter a room with a raised edge, they may not be the mats for you. There ARE mats that have a much smaller rise -- even ones made by Gobam -- but they seem to me more likely to trap dirt and water than these are.

You all are missing the sublime beauty of the 12th November casting choice of Christopher Lambert as Aziraphale. I am equal parts enthralled and appalled by this idea.
Hi Mr. Gaiman :) Would you ever agree with Mr. Terry Gilliam with a quote from his blog in 2001 that "You can report that Good Omens is proving to be FUCKING difficult to reduce to the FUCKING SHIT ASS limitations of a two FUCKING hour film." 🤣😅 It just was never meant for the 2 hour format huh?! X the miracle of streaming!
Tumblr media
Terry came to the premiere of Good Omens the TV show, and was hugely enthusiastic about how we'd done it -- and said he thought that it would have been impossible for him to have made it at 2 hours. And, yes.

I have to apologise for something I'm not sure how I've done what I've apparently done.
I've got three notifications from Tumble saying the posts I've flagged are under review.
Ummm. I don't recall flagging any posts.
I do now have post-Covid POTS, which basically means my nice, normal blood pressure will randomly drop for no discernable reason other than it's a day with a y in. Symptoms range from digestive issues through confusion and dizziness to, sometimes, fainting.
I can only think that something has happened when I've seen scrolling Tumblr and I've somehow flagged a post several times.. Whatever happened, I'm sorry.
