Red patio furniture (with shade umbrella) outside of 8 6 Pho

Address: 4082 SC-9, Boiling Springs, SC 29316

This Pho place has a whopping THREE different sets of outdoor seating to choose from. I sat in two of them, and decided against the third--which was a set of picnic tables that a couple kept putting their large dog on top of.

I'm a big fan of metal grated seating so I was eager to give this one a spin. All in all... Kind of weird! I expected them to be more comfortable than a literal log--and they were... Just not by much.

Never have I felt so boxed in by outdoor seating. The back support isn't unappreciated, but I'm not a fan of the lack of accommodation for my ass. My thighs touched the edges of the arm supports in a way that I could tell would start to "dig in" if I lingered for too long. My slimmer partner noted that the seat felt angled downwards to them and that they felt like it didn't fit the shape of their ass very well.

Score Card

Comfort:

While they have all the necessary components, the chairs are not constructed with the idea of relaxation in mind. Too small for anyone larger than myself. 4/10.

Cleanliness:

Pretty clean. Minimal rusting on the chairs, but the table itself looks fine. The umbrella is a more recent addition and is in good shape. Sweep more often and you'd be golden. 6/10.

Style:

The red paint is pretty but has faded quite a bit with time. The triangle backs of the chairs have the sultry appeal of a backless dress, but in reality they don't live up to such an iconic look. 6/10.

Availability:

There's three sets of tables, but the only one at the storefront has an umbrella. We sat for about 5 minutes before an employee came out to ask if we had an order to pickup. We did in fact have one, but they were friendly enough that I would wager they wouldn't have done anything if we had been properly loitering. 7/10.

Overall score:

Better than a literal log, I guess!

Boiling Springs Artisan Gallery

Mila, our On Campus Art News blogger, takes a break from campus news to share about life in her neck of the woods this summer. Here she shares about a cool gallery in her hometown of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. #MarywoodArt #GraphicDesign #Photography

This week I would love to talk about a store local to me! The Village Artisans Gallery is a store located in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania which houses the artwork of over 200 artists. The art is from hand crafted creations such as jewelry and pottery as well as other traditional mediums such as metal, glass, and paintings. Much of the artwork displays scenes of local imagery. Boiling Springs is…

i've been looking at this map from Alegander's notes for some ancient grump lore stuff and oh my god i just realized what the "Stone Grump Passages" are supposed to be. Like the connection between Boiling Bay and Sizzlin' Sands found in the game... it's a stone grump passage that didn't collapse

i looove finding lil details like this lol

You ever make food that tastes so good and you fully didn't expect it to. I just made some pasta and said "holy shit" out loud at my first bite.

The springs were so fun but I lost the ball to one of my favorite septum rings ☹️

Mini Flumpty Headcanon

IDK, this might be weird, but here's my thoughts on his hygiene

During his time in space, he didn't really "do" hygiene. He didn't understand the concept until animals and humans came around.

For him, it's more of a choice than a need.

He keeps himself magically clean most of the time. It's like any bacteria automatically dies once it touches him. Any stain, dirt, sludge and blood just either disappears, slides off or somehow gets absorbed through his shell.

He can also choose to manually clean himself: wipe himself with his hand or a cloth, lick his lips/face clean of blood, or even take baths.

Flumpty enjoys taking really, really hot baths. I'm talking BOILING water baths. It's very relaxing for him and it's also another way of making himself hardboiled (for extra durability based on the comics).

When he's feeling particularly sadistic, he goes the extra mile for an even nicer, atmospheric bath.

He likes to gather a bunch of candles, position them around the rim of the bathtub and light them up.

Afterwards, he'd fill the tub with the warm blood of those he slaughtered, whether it's humans, animals or even from his friends. It's not as hot, but it is definitely warm and cozy.

And he loves it.

He likes the thick scent of iron in the air, the way it sloshes around, its deep crimson color- He could almost fall asleep in it from the sheer satisfaction it brings him.

Despite that, he treats it as an indulgence, so it rarely happens. He doesn't want to squeeze out all the fun out of it.

All in all, his literal blood baths are very occult like. There's candles that could function as ritual candles and there's a lot of blood involved. It's very fitting for a Chaos God of Death.

Sometimes I think living in the middle ages would be fun and then I remember that no medieval peasant will ever know the lizard brain feeling of freezing in a cold building and then stepping outside to the joy and bliss of warm sunlight

Red Bench Between the Russian Bakery and Goodwill.

Address: 3555 Boiling Springs Rd, Boiling Springs, SC 29316

Our very first bench leaves a bad taste in the mouth. The heat of summer has brought out the unfortunate smells of the other occupant--someone's dirty scraps.

This strip mall is worn down and it shows in it's seating. This is the only bench in the lot that's not kept behind the doors of a business, and the lack of price seemingly attracted some Trash Denizen who left their leavings.

Graffiti of interest nearby. I wonder, did the intended recipient of this message ever see it? Thinking of you, Bree.

Score Card

Comfort

The construction is sturdy enough, but clearly doesn't have much in the way of support for the human spine or ass. Resting on this bench for 10 minutes bought 30 seconds of relief and 9 minutes and 30 seconds of discomfort. 3/10.

Cleanliness:

Would be the absolute worst, except I once sat on a bench with slightly more trash and got bit on the hip by an ant. 1/10.

Style:

The bright coloring would be snazzy if it wasn't so chipped and dirty. 3/10.

Availability:

As stated above, this is the only truly public bench in this (decently sized) strip mall. In my short time with it, no one approached me and only a few cars came by to frequent the bakery. However, had it been earlier in the day or a weekend I probably wouldn't have wanted to sit there due to the amount of foot traffic. 4/10.

Overall score:

It's pretty bad.

What is Madara's Hair care routine?

ohh this man 100% has a haircare routine based on a weekly rotation!

* Washes his hair every single day. Not a fan of the oil buildup or sweaty scalp after training bc it gets itchy and ugly.

* Lukewarm water enjoyer. Cold water closes the follicles and hot water causes split ends, so lukewarm water is ideal for showering and washing his hair.

* Does some sort of hydration treatment with camellia oil about twice a week to keep his hair shiny and silky.

* Brushes his hair multiple times a day, probably a black pig fur or bamboo hairbrush! Good for spreading the natural oils of hair evenly.

* At night, he either braids his hair or does some sort of protective hairstyle to avoid it from tangling and getting damaged.

Overall, he takes a lot of care of his hair but definitely has to ditch all his routines when in battles or long missions which makes him grumpy. Imagine the sole reason for Madara snapping with Ōnoki being something like "I didn't bring my hair oil", hilarious. 1000/10 haircare routine we stan a hygienic king.

I base this off a mixture between Heian and Edo period traditional hair care. Long, straight, silky black hair has always been a beauty symbol in Japan. Sadly, there isn't much info on hair care for the IRL Sengoku period so yeah I just use two of the most culturally rich periods of Japan as reference.

ugh just my luck to fall sick during the last exam (which is maths btw)

So I cannot study properly nor can I (if my sickness persists) have fun after exams end.
