That sounds so much like some of my grocery store runs.

Even stupider, the latest edition of this debate was comments on this newest film's FB page... while this Leo clearly has katanas, not that fake straight Hollywood sword.

edit: Apparently there is some kind of shortage on kerosene..?

Yeah, there have been many who have argued that the correct term for Leo's swords is ninjaken and not katanas and they often try to act like that's the correct terminology and that anyone else who says otherwise is wrong. Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, Leo carries twin katanas.

Gear grind: Dad had us up again this morning first for the remotes and then because he kept putting his bed up and down instead of leaving it in a certain position. We're going to close his door tonight so we can get some sleep because it kept us up all night!

It really grinds my gears when people actually like the PD TMNT movies. I know there will be some people that like bad movies but what gives these films a slight pass over The Last Airbender, DragonBall Evolution, Batman & Robin, or better yet Transformers? I just can't believe there's a fanbase for something that throws away the source material.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-27-2016, 03:24 PM

People are going to like what they like regardless of whether it's bad or good. My advice is to just accept it and move on.

Well, Aunt Flo has made her monthly entrance. Ugh!

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 10-27-2016, 06:42 PM

Unfortunately but you're right.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 10-27-2016, 08:33 PM

As one who DID like the PD TMNT movies, just because something may be "bad" objectively does not mean it has no entertainment value or any redeeming qualities. Sometimes a bad movie is just plain fun to waych in spite of or even BECAUSE of being "bad". It called a "guilty pleasure". Everyone has them so it's silly and kind of hypocritical to judge someone else's when we all have our own!

*TurtleTitan97* · 10-27-2016, 08:40 PM

My mother. One minute she's one of the nicest people I know, the next she's a total insensitive jerk.

Why is that a problem?

*BubblyShell22* · 10-28-2016, 06:50 PM

Dad keeps sleeping during the day instead of sleeping at night like he should and it gets annoying.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 10-28-2016, 09:01 PM

Being stupidly crazy busy at work today. Geebus but it seemed like everybody and their dog went through my drivethrough today. Pretty sure it was either the drag races this weekend, Halloween being this weekend or early voters- or some combination thereof. In any case this week has been shell for me, with the ridiculous amount of business and the "personal plumbing" being wonky and s**tty this past week.

*IndigoErth* · 10-30-2016, 03:23 PM

Yesterday after work I'd offered my mom the option of going with me to the Halloween store I went to, thought maybe she'd appreciate a short 'airing out' after being cooped up in the house for the better part of two weeks after breaking her arm. I mean, and not even for overly long... I'm considerate enough not to make her stay out longer than what she'd be up for.

Oh no... we have to act depressive and self pitying as usual the past days (as much as she hates dealing with the broken arm and pain I know her love of playing victim is having a field day) and wasn't up to going... [insert *sigh* for dramatic retelling]. Fine, it was only an offer, if she didn't want to then she didn't have to. Though I was grumbling to myself that I bet if it was my sister that offered she'd have went with her.

Got home today to a quiet house (no complaints there), but damned if she didn't prove me right!

Saw a note on the white board on the fridge from my sister letting me know that they'd "stole mom to air her out." And god knows they prob been or will be out longer than I'd have made her be.

Just leap at the chance to spend time with the favorite, no matter how much you argue and then vent to me with hurt feelings toward my sister.

I'm just there for when you need someone to listen to you... I feel so used.

*Utrommaniac* · 10-30-2016, 08:24 PM

I'm trying to figure out a live stream so Ceres, UtromPrincess, and I can watch something together, but I can't wrap my head around getting anything to work.

Turtle, Turtles Everywhere as a test, and then Over the Garden Wall tomorrow. Both from my iTunes

*plastroncafe* · 10-30-2016, 08:29 PM

Over the Garden Wall!
That show's the best!

If I had any live-stream know how I'd gladly offer it up, but alas...all I can do is cheer your spectacular taste in shows.

*Utrommaniac* · 10-30-2016, 08:38 PM

Yeah, I think I'm just a little Livestream virgin because Princess seems to have a bit more of a clue than I do XD

*IndigoErth* · 10-31-2016, 04:17 PM

A nice slice to a finger on each hand from work and a pumpkin that needed carving when I got home. Ever carve one of those with a cut? Pumpkins really sting.

As per usual no trick or treaters since Halloween died in my neighborhood years ago...

Never stops being a bit depressing seeing the neighborhood dark (no yard lights on). Grew up here, back when many/most houses gave out candy. My mom sometimes kept a count and there were at least a few times over the years we'd gotten over 100 kids. Now...? Zilch. Prob not even family friends this year since it's a week day and some have gotten too old.

And what is with the screw on some battery covers. It's just an electric candle and the cover closes in a way that doesn't need a screw... Are they afraid the batteries might escape? Or is it just to make changing them frustrating via searching the house for a small enough screw driver.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-01-2016, 04:28 PM

Dad woke me up at eleven thirty last night so I could change the channel. Getting really tired of this happening and it needs to stop but we know it won't.

We ended up not getting trick or treaters either.

Meanwhile, I need someone in New York to save a six-year-old nervous pregnant one eyed cat for me from a death row listing between two weeks ago and today. I wish I had never, ever stumbled upon that website and it's had me upset all day.

Ceres · 11-01-2016, 06:24 PM

what grinds my gears are time differences between countries...when my friends are cheerily in the mid of the day i am in the deepest middle of the night, trying to stay awake to at least spend some time with them. *sigh*

I cant wait to visit usa next year sometimes in december, finally same timezones as my friends lol.

*IndigoErth* · 11-01-2016, 06:48 PM

I feel your pain. When I was a GM on a little private game server another GM and friend there, who I enjoyed both working and playing with, is in Australia, while I'm in the U.S. We both had very terrible hours and sleep patterns. lol

That's so sad, Utrommaniac. Wonder if there are any rescue people/groups or whatnot in that area that you could contact.

Ask me about it..yesterday while we streamed Over the garden wall i fell asleep in the middle of the episode *sigh* Well it was three in the morning for me and for them around in the early evening...

Since i am friends with Utrommaniac my sleep pattern is ****ed up totally xD. But its totally worth in all those dozen hours of rp we were able to do :3
