Wednesday 20 November 2002 - return to work - the car still smells of fresh paint - Adam Sandler’s animated holiday film premiere at the Kabuki in SF

20 November 2002

EN   Hi everyone!  I had returned from my November 2002 vacation, and brought candies to my work colleagues.  I also noticed the progress made, after my car had time to sit and allow the paint job fumes to dissipate.  There would be no further journeys outside the USA until late April 2003.  The family saw my presents the following Sunday the 24th November.

DE   Hallo allerseits! Ich war aus meinem Urlaub im November 2002 zurückgekehrt und hatte meinen Arbeitskollegen Süßigkeiten mitgebracht. Ich bemerkte auch die erzielten Fortschritte, nachdem mein Auto Zeit hatte, sich hinzusetzen und die Dämpfe der Lackierung zu zerstreuen. Bis Ende April 2003 gab es keine weiteren Reisen außerhalb der USA. Die Familie sah meine Geschenke am folgenden Sonntag, dem 24. November.

DK   Hej allesammen! Jeg var vendt tilbage fra min ferie i november 2002 og bragte slik til mine arbejdskolleger. Jeg lagde også mærke til fremskridtene, efter at min bil havde tid til at sidde og lade lakeringsdampene forsvinde. Der ville ikke være flere rejser uden for USA før sidst i april 2003. Familien så mine gaver den følgende søndag den 24. november.

SE   Hej allihopa! Jag hade återvänt från min semester i november 2002 och hade med mig godis till mina arbetskollegor. Jag märkte också framstegen efter att min bil hade tid att sitta och låta lackeringsångorna försvinna. Det skulle inte bli några fler resor utanför USA förrän i slutet av april 2003. Familjen såg mina presenter följande söndag den 24 november.

FR   Salut tout le monde! J'étais revenu de mes vacances de novembre 2002 et j'avais apporté des bonbons à mes collègues de travail. J'ai également remarqué les progrès réalisés, après que ma voiture ait eu le temps de s'asseoir et de laisser les vapeurs de peinture se dissiper. Il n'y aurait plus de voyages en dehors des États-Unis jusqu'à fin avril 2003. La famille a vu mes cadeaux le dimanche suivant, le 24 novembre.

Guten Morgen!  Good morning!  

Wednesday the 20th November 2002 I returned to work.  I had been away for almost two weeks.  It had also been about a month, since my car had to go into the repair shop because it was rear-ended.  I had a 2003 Ford Escort US fleet edition for the time my car was in the shop, but it was good to have it back.  I would go back to my parent's house on Sunday the 24th November.

About 5:30 AM I woke up, took a shower, dressed up for work, and took my gifts to work - and of course, I brought my work ID, necessary to enter the secure area of the office.  I had not seen my car for two weeks, and had wondered how much the paint smell had gone down.  I opened the car door, and could still smell the paint.  I had to crank down the windows while driving.  I drove to the office which was, at the time, 303 Twin Dolphin Drive, in Redwood City, not particularly far from the Redwood Shores Lagoon.  I made it to the office about 7 AM.  

Once I was inside the office, I let my supervisor know, and put my assortment of chocolates and similar snacks out for people to enjoy.  Everyone was pleased to sample the snacks.  At times, I would tell people where I went.  

I did not return to Europe until August 2003.  Also I did not leave the USA until at least April 2003, in that case, I went to Canada.  The 24th November 2002  I went to see my parents, and give my mother the Schwibbogen that she asked for.  She really liked it.  Everyone else enjoyed the Lebkuchen and similar.  And of course I did my laundry.  It was good to be back home.

The only other adventure until the end of the year, was going to Contra Costa County by car on 29th November 2002, and playing a couple of my cassettes that I recorded off the radio when visiting Copenhagen and Malmö.  I even remember hearing "Did anyone approach you" from A-Ha's then-recent "Lifelines" CD.  That same night, I drove to San Francisco's Japantown, have some sushi and go to the Kabuki Theater and see the Adam Sandler animated film "Eight Crazy Nights".  Not to have seen it, would have been a technical foul, as stated by one of the characters, Whitey.

So now the November 2002 vacation is over.  Hope you enjoyed reading about it, and I hope to write again towards the end of 2022 about December 2002.

Gute Nacht!  Good night!

Imagine chirping back at legacy like when you meow back at a cat and he gets all happy and giddy, even if it makes no sense in his language but like you're trying! so he's happy :)))

i adore the idea of making sounds and noises back at each other because it sounds like something i would definitely do :D

the first time it happens you barely even notice- Foul Legacy's curled around you on the couch as you flip through some work, peeking over your shoulder and letting out curious chitters at the handwriting scrawled across the papers, and without even thinking you mimic one of his chirps in response. Legacy stills, going completely silent before ecstatic coos and warbles begin to slip from his throat, his lilac fur poofing up and rustling as he insistently nudges his head into your hands. he nips and nibbles at your fingers, letting out similar chirps of his own until you mimic him again and he squeaks with delight, his sparkling wings fluttering happily

you make a habit of mimicking Legacy's sounds, to the point where he'll often come over and gently nudge you until you give him your version of a trill, chittering and joyfully spinning you around afterwards. he'll attempt to teach you his favorite phrases, flowing strings of chirps and coos and rumbles that he painstakingly writes the meanings of down, so you can know exactly what you're saying. there's also a collection of sounds that he's secretly dubbed as your personal words, keeping a keen ear out for differences in your mood and behavior so he knows precisely when you need to be pulled into a hug and cuddled for the day. eventually Legacy begins to mimic your chirping noises back to you, and he merely shrugs when you curiously ask what it means- technically, it means nothing, but since you said it, it means everything to him

idea: Shiver or Fyre eating a team of people who won a 100x for them as a reward

"Are you for eel?! Seriously?"

"Come on, we all agreed on a gimmick for our rewards! Don't tell me you're chickening out already...I thought you were team bunnies~" The octoling smiled smugly, knowing her cheekiness would get a rise out of her bandmate.

"Quiet, Shivs! I never back down from a challenge! It's just..." The idol looked over at the little group of excited inkfish. They had all agreed on an extra reward to encourage people to join their teams and reward their hard work, and hers just so happened to be...a seafood dinner with Ms. Onaga herself. They just got to be the dinner! But all teams were a group of four, and as much as she hated to admit it...she wasn't sure if she could handle that much.

"It's not going to be an issue? Great! I'm headed back, Big Man's all alone out there...enjoy your meal!" With that, the idol was left alone with her team. She stared pensively at them, trying to figure out the best approach. As feisty as she is, she's never one to go back on her word...

"Can't you all like...I dunno, shrink or something? We'll be here all night if I go one at a time!" The group looked at each other for a moment before one of the inklings shifted into their squid form. The rest followed suit, though some were bigger than others...it was a lot more manageable like this. She walked over, picking up the smallest squid. "Congrats on that sick 100x win! You guys already got your float pic, so here's part 2 of your reward!"

Opening her mouth wide, she lifted the squid over her head and lowered them in. Careful to not nick them with her fangs, the squid was easily squeezed inside and sucked down with one slurp! They slid down her throat without any fuss, and she sighed in relief. It was a good thing inkfish were so inky and slippery in their swim forms... "Alright! Who's next? I've got plenty of room for the rest of you!" The first one barely made a dent! This would go well, obviously.

A reddish octopus inched forward, slightly larger than the squid she just swallowed. Their tentacles were pretty long, but it shouldn't be a problem! Frye picked them up, opening her mouth wide and pushing them in just the same. They were too big to suck down easily, so she worked them down with gentle gulps, slurping on their tentacles as they slid their way down her throat. "Ahh..." She could feel them filling her stomach, squirming around with the squid as her stomach expanded to fit both meals. This was about where she'd normally stop eating, but there were two more members of their team left...she's gorged on more for less though, and that octoling tasted pretty sweet...

Without needing to ask, the other octoling offered themselves up, seemingly excited at the prospect of being eaten. She's not one to say no to a free meal...when she lifted them up to her mouth, they did the work for her by inching inside. Maybe it was from fullness, or maybe it was because they tasted really good, but she took her time with swallowing them. Deep gulps slowly pulled them down her throat to join the other two, and she rested a hand on her full stomach. It was obvious with how it bulged and wriggled that she had eaten someone- rather, several someones- and she was just about at her limit...but there was one person left! She wasn't done yet, even though she was definitely ready to just lay down and sleep this off.

"U-um...Miss? You don't have to eat me, you look pretty full..." The last squid nervously offered. Maybe they were scared...the idol shook her head, giving them a confident smile. "No way! I never let my fans down! You'll be just fine, look." She moves over to the blue squid, lifting them up and letting them rest against her stomach for a moment. It was definitely noisy, burbling and grumbling around all the inkfish inside, but they were unharmed. "See? They're alright! My stomach knows friends from food. I'll let you guys out soon so you can get right back into the fight!" While still apprehensive, the little squid nodded when they saw her reassuring smile. "Alright, that's my team for ya! Down the hatch!"

Rather than take her time, she decided to get it over with quickly and just guzzle them down. She was as careful as always to make sure her fangs didn't nick them, but she quickly slurped and swallowed until there was nothing left outside but some bluish ink on her face. Frye sighed and groaned, flopping onto her back as she was stuffed to the limit. Her stomach wasn't complaining- it was all too happy to knead and churn around the group of inkfish that were packed inside. She rubbed at her overfull stomach and sighed again, unable to stifle a burp thanks to all their movement. How on earth was she supposed to perform when she couldn't even move?

Tease Tidbit Tuesday 🍳

I was tagged by @wikiangela @daffi-990 @disasterbuckdiaz and @jeeyuns thank you, my dears 💛

Some of you know this already but I've been going through the wringer a little bit in the last few days and unfortunately I barely progressed with my main wips (I still did though, just not as much as I wanted to), but at least I made a list of all my wips, so I could keep track (and it's like... a ridiculous number).

Anyway here's the first snippet from a oneshot that is — very loosely, but — pretty much drafted from start to finish.

Buck woke to the shrill sound of metal rings being dragged over a plastic pole harshly, as someone ripped the curtains open and doused the entire room in blinding white light.

The room being Eddie’s living room, apparently.

“Ow, okay, ouch. Was that really necessary?” Buck grumbled as he sat up with his eyes struggling to stay open against the morning light now breaking through the windows, only barely obstructed by the other man’s silhouette.

“Was showing up on my doorstep at one in the morning necessary?” Eddie retaliated with his hands now on his hips, arching his brows questioningly.

“Fair point.” Buck waved a finger loosely in Eddie’s direction, without much else to say in his own defense.

Without another word, Eddie dropped his hands and turned towards the kitchen. Assuming (hoping, really) that he wanted Buck to follow, he kicked the blanket off of his lap, feeling weirdly embarrassed about the fact that aside from his shirt from yesterday, all he was wearing were his boxers and half a pair of black socks.

Isn’t Jinwol/MC already poly with poor Yul with how they’re going to be dedicated to MC even through their marriage to someone else? LMAO

[rainmidnight]

slight fhh spoilers

i love how the secret shanghai characters' personalities go from canon shakespeare characterization (romeo/roma being a certified simp) to headcanon (juliette using stick figures to announce pregnancy)

[venominmypizza]

Cat king anon: As that other anon mentioned, portrayal isnt endorsement true. But when I saw the cat king, i judt knew how it would go with fandom and all. You can have a good villain without him being a stereotype. Or a predator. Like please give me a good villain who isnt THAT.

EXACTLY. That's why I love the corinthian so much and also why I HATE the comparisons between them

i too knew what they were doing with cat king and how the fandom would react but the fact that they're not only fans but APOLOGISTS...

Fhh spoilers

Orion about Silas in FLF: idk he’s kind of a loser but he can punch someone and run away really fast if he has to??

Silas in FHH: Hello yes I have the skills required to be an assassin I just need a little bit of training first thank you

???????

Rosalind: Hey, Phoebe, are you free on Friday? Like around eight?

Phoebe: Yeah.

Rosalind: And you, Silas?

Silas: Umm... yes?

Rosalind: Great! Because I'm not. You two go out without me. Enjoy your date!

Silas: Did she just-

[hacksawboy]

we gotta back up and think about how absurd the ship names are in this fandom what the fuck is coffinshipping

[rayar32]

So, since I did write a whole 13 chapter (as-of-yet technically unfinished) Canon Divergent Vampire!Suletta AU, titled Taste Me Mercurian Beast (aka my first longfic), I figured I might as well post the sketches that started this whole insanity out during the season 2 wait.

Yes these two messy ass doodles are what fueled me to write the whole fic. It is... Weirdly nostalgic looking back at them now, 45k words deep into this whole thing.

Here are some more concept doodles for certain scenes:

These ones are for chapter 12 and the 6v6 duel at chapter 8 respectively. Aerial being hunched over and steaming was one of the first I wanted to portray after figuring out I wanted bloodreaving to be a thing in the fic.

Fun/not-so-fun fact: I had chapter 12 pretty much plotted out by around chapter 3, mostly including Suletta's manic episode and vampiric transformation. I figured that, by that point pre-season 2, it was a safe enough guess that Suletta was in fact a super human clone of Eri, so I felt very vindicated watching episode 18.

And also here's a bit of a glimpse of some concept artwork for the next "season" of Taste Me Mercurian Beast. Things are subject to change as always, but man I really want to make the Schwarzette and Suletta absolute horror freaks.

I AGREE WITH THAT ANON- MOTH COAT!

I saw the tags on that post and now wanna see FL reacting to us wearing Tartar’s coat. It’s only our head poking out and we’d be swallowed up in it if we tucked our head in. They look like tripping hazards too not gonna lie-

AND we could flutter the coat + shake the fluff on the collar and make it look like we’re mimicking his wings and neck floof! He’d be SO happy if he saw us trying to copy him! We are honorary moth to him :’3

MOTH COAT MOTH COAT MOTH COAT!!!!!!

alright alright consider: you wearing Childe's Harbinger coat, and then Foul Legacy wrapping his wings around us- you're going to be SO toasty and warm!! because he's taller than you even in human form you look very much like a puffball when you're wearing his coat, your head poking out amongst the soft fur collar, a cheeky grin on your face. Foul Legacy practically warbles when he sees you all bundled up, excitedly poking the coat here and there and snuggling his face against your cheek- you're like him now, all fluffy and cozy!!! he pulls you closer, claws sinking into the fabric of the coat, and wraps both his arms and wings around you, essentially caging you in a comfy moth embrace with a happy, rumbling purr

the most adorable thing ever is seeing you and Legacy stand next to each other, one wrapped in a pair of glittery wings and the other in a thick winter coat. sometimes you look up at Foul Legacy and shake the sides of the cloak to mimic how his wings flitter and twitch, drawing a delighted chirp from your beloved Abyssal moth as he flutters his sparkling wings in return. when he's bored he also bats at the dangling ornaments hanging from the coat, fascinated by how the light reflects off the metal and gems; or he snuggles into the collar, burying his face in the soft fluff the same way you nuzzle into his after a long day

you're debating if you should ask Childe for two more copies of his Harbinger cloak, one smaller and one larger
