The Saska Kępa neighborhood of Warsaw looks like it has been visited by a flock of exotic birds. However, the feathers coating the upscale cafés and bars in the area are residuals from visiting Harry Styles fans, most dressed in oversize boas and strings of pearls, all ready to descend on the nearby PGE Narodowy stadium to watch their hero perform, or settle in a nearby park to picnic and eavesdrop on the show from just outside the gates.

Robert and the pills
So I had an interesting MAX ride yesterday. On the way to work a guy board at PGE Park. He seemed unstable and became agitated when lady tried to help him get seated in the handicap section. The guy asked me to help him with his bag (his speech was really slurred). The guy said that he needed an ambulance. I freaked out at first but ask the guy his name. The man, Robert, did as well as his cell…

OH right i forgot i had a second dream yesterday.
summary: boating on the lake with my sister, dad, & scaramouche genshin impact
so this is 4.18 part 2.
sailing around a fantasy lake! the artstyle & controls were similar to dredge, but it was a nicer place. it kind of looked like watatsumi island inazuma, with like lavender grass & like pastel pinks & purples & pretty tree coral & all that jazz. i say sailing. it was just like a regular little motorboat. no sailboat.
we were exploring & heading upriver. as night fell it started looking like the river that i went on in beijing in 2015. i raelly do keep forgetting about that trip. anyway there were blue LEDs & the way back suddenly became tiered, and the LEDs were marking the height differences.
???? and then it was like daytime/early evening again. cloudy. risk of rain, as they say. we pulled up to a little island with ruins & a pit in the center (small) & the grass here was really like almost translucent lavender. i was like “oh i recognize this from the screenshot on the steam pge! i was wondering when this would be in the game” & then scaramouche was there. the shape of this island was weird - very steep hills? but it was smal. but there was almost no flat area except for in the center of the ruins, which were again small. the size of a large gazebo. i tried setting up my tent on the curve bits & i was like hm... & then my tent slid into the water & i jumped in to get it & then whats his nuts got worried & hauled me out of the water & it started raining i was like “instead of floating like 10 feet above me can you help me get my tent setup?” & then he was like ugh stupid mortal blah blah blah & started to help. then a park ranger came up & was like “you can’t camp here, severe weather warning.”
that was pretty much it. but it’s worth having in the record

When Earth has ended- Part 1.
// This is an experimental piece of writing. It’s an original story. //
The scientists have calculated that Earth had not more than 1 billion years to exist before its Sun will inevitable turn into a supernova.
Most humans had evacuated from their original home planet and traveled far into the exo-planet which was originally referred to as Kepplar -22b in the ancient times, then its name changed into Delta Prime
Despite the fact that humans have dispersed themselves into space colonies and other exo-planets across the galaxies, Delta Prime became the main home-planet for the now Earthless humans.
In fact in the edifices, streets, houses, parks, rivers, mountains and seas are still carved in the memory of their beloved Earth.
If you are a human that belonged to the generation XI, you would still be able to feel the familiarity of the planet that was once your species’ only home, but several advancement and technology had changed also marked the advancement of these humans, so Delta is an amalgamation of the old and the new,.
The new generation of humans that were born in 3B PGE , know Earth only through history books and through the memories of their grandparents.
Slowly Earth will be only but a distant memory, and those who are born now will never know what was like to be homebound in one planet, with no external extra-terrestrial communication.
They lifted their eyes up in the sky dreaming of what back in that day was impossible.
Alex was five years old when he left Earth to become a permanent resident of Delta Prime.
There were many who were unlucky and they were trapped on Earth because they did not have the financial ability or resources to be able to leave.
After all, humans who thrive are those who have the means.
Alex peeks out of the window from the control station and catches a glimpse of the Round Blue Planet, and a sense of bitter sweetness burned in his throat.
He was too young to get too attached to the Original Homeplanet, but he was old enough to remember it.
In fact, this was the first time he visited Earth since he left with his parents.
And he knew it was going to be the last.

I will mention this until the end of time, Aubrey (in my Canon at least) carries Mr. PlantEgg everywhere she goes, and I mean EVERYWHERE.
Park? Sure!
Church? Yes!
She even brings him with her when hanging with her friends. Kim questioned it at first, but she settled into it after Aubrey protected Mr. PlantEgg.
Aubrey has stated before that she, quote on quote,
"Has no shame.", so this just works for her.
The news spreads quickly around Faraway.
"Look at that Aubrey, carrying that plushie everywhere she goes! The same delinquent is a softie!"
AND AUBREY JUST ACCEPTS THIS???
She doesn't fight back, she doesn't spout insults and/or curses at them, she just nods her head and says something along the lines of, and I quote again,
"Yep, that's me."
Now you all may be saying,
"WRITER. THIS ISN'T AUBREY. THIS IS SUCH A STRETCH."
To which I say, in my mind,
"eh, to each their own."
All of this to say I believe in Soft PGE Aubrey Supremacy

Due to the expected ongoing event-bans and restrictions related to COVID-19, Rammstein are unfortunately forced to postpone the planned European Stadium Tour again.
The band and everyone involved are very disappointed about this.
Given the lack of planning reliability for holding events of this size, this step is unavoidable.
The concerts are rescheduled to 2022.
Unfortunately, some minor changes had to be made and the show in Belfast will be canceled entirely.
Tickets for Belfast will be refunded, all other tickets remain valid!
The band is using the time off to continue working on new songs.
We look forward to seeing you in 2022!

2.14 The Three Strikes Job
I’ve been running the Leverage RPG long enough now that I can tell you straight up if I gave this job to MY crew they would be like “You want us to help a COP? FUCK THAT.” Bonano would NOT FLY HERE.
safd;jlik i hate the fucking flashbacks.
lol PGE PARK we’re not in portland WE SWEAR wait shit i know what street they’re hanging out on too
i think my mom has that blue trench coat
i love how this episode rubs everybody wrong in different ways, obvs nate’s freaking out over bonano and his kid, meanwhile eliot’s just discovered he likes being famous and good at baseball, poor hardison has to mourn lucille..... actually parker’s the only one making it out scott free, i guess cause she had the previous episode all to herself.
woops and i guess we’re done. that’s the thing i’ve talked about before with this episode, it seems to be going along fairly normally and then it just ramps the hell up real fast and we arrive at the finale.....
