Store closing

[cornerofmadness]

bad for them but good for me in the short term. I ran over to Scrubs Pro as they're closing (which does suck) and apparently they moved in a bunch of stuff since when I was there at Christmas, they had very very little plus sized. Now they had tons of 5X (which is way too big for me) so I got 3 pairs of scrub pants and three shirts all for under 80$ (which given most are 30 dollars a piece this is doing well) The shirts are 1 -2 sizes too big but it's that clingy material so that's fine. the cotton ones I prefer were running small. I got one with hearts with dogs in them, Beauty and the Beast and Chip n' Dale. I'll take pictures.

I struck out at finding shoes though.

Also thanks to Evil Little Dog who got me cool stones like the sardonyx obelisk (must wrestle that back off mom who scampered off with it), tea, coloring books and cute kitty thing.

I bought myself a cream puff because I didn't get a pie/cake for my birthday...they forgot.


I couldn't get my stuff together so let's do music monday one day late The Alphabet theme with sharing songs that begin with a certain letter. Feel free to chime in with your favorite song(s) that follow the weekly letter. Hit me with your faves. This week's letter is H

And can I tag on a fannish 50 thing here? This is not okay The link hits back on something I mentioned several months ago: Fans leveling threats against actors portraying villains. That time I mentioned Laura Bailey getting death threats for herself and her newborn. It seems this crap isn't going away and is getting worse. I'm not sure where the disconnect is happening. Yeah we have AI deep fakes etc but if you're playing a video game, watching tv/movies is it that hard to tell fiction from reality?

Back in the day you heard of a few disturbed individuals acting out things they see in fiction but now it seems to be so commonplace that actors are getting threats in their social media that they keep having to go out there and explain it's just a role, just a show. I find this both horrific and fascinating (one of those things that would probably make a good psychology phd thesis)

Happy belated birthday! I'm sorry you didn't get cake, but the cream puff sounds good. Yay for fun gifts! And the scrubs! (I wonder if they consolidated from another store?)

[cornerofmadness]

Thank you. I'd rather have had pie to be honest. I'm not a fan of cake but yeah. We had two for father's day the day before but mom didn't plan on my brother's mother in law who scarfs ALL the desserts

Yes I think they brought stuff in from the Pittsburgh store. I'm thrilled. My scrubs are all like 20 years old and tired

Fannish 50 thing: Jesus, harassing voice actors is so messed up. Why would anyone do that?


For the music thing: Guess who's back with more Poets of the Fall music. 🤣

Heroes and Villains - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pQ_DBpgYNE This song is from their most recent album, Ghostlight, and I find it really soothing to listen to.

[cornerofmadness]

I know, right? It's incredibly messed up to harass actors over their roles. If your hold on reality is that tenuous I'm afraid for you.

Ooo I liked this song. Did you write to it for the lyrical titles thing? I can see several stories based on this

[autisticwriter]

Yeah it’s a really nice song. I actually didn’t write for it for the lyrical title challenge, but I can see a lot of the lyrics being good inspiration. 😊

[cornerofmadness]

Definitely the opening stanzas would be good for Angel Dust (points to icon) or Hunter

[suzume]

Heart of Gold - Neil Young

Heart of Spring - David Arkenstone

Hearts A Mess - Gotye *
(admittedly a very strange music video with Gotye's face super-imposed on a black creature)

Help Me - Joni Mitchell

Hey You - Pony Pony Run Run? *

Here Comes My Girl - Tom Petty

Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect - The Decemberists? *

Holland Sufjan Stevens?

A Hundred Hearts - The Swimmers?

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks as always. Completely new to me Pony Pony Run Run and the swimmers. You're right that WAS a weird Gotye vid

I own that Arkenstone cd

[suzume]

Oh, you're always welcome!

Ha ha, go figure! XD;

[cornerofmadness]

I do have a weird collection of music
