TOP 20 Wine Service Peeves

Dear Restaurants: Can you please stop seating me without a wine-list.  This is wine-country.  THIS IS RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING AND HIGHEST-ACCLAIMED WINE AREAS IN THE WORLD.  From where I’m sitting in your restaurant, I could hit 10 wineries with a 5-wood.  Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent by tourism boards and commerce groups to promote wine and this…

to smile. to rejoice. to celebrate

I went grocery shopping and couldn’t be bothered to carry everything bit by bit to the third floor so I had six heavy bags between each arm and carrying two crates of more groceries as well as my purse and giant whiteboard so it was a great struggle to climb to the third floor

So I fantasized about that mutton chop neighbor again

Imagining that he comes outside his apartment, maybe to grab mail, and seeing you struggling with an absurd amount of groceries, grunting and whining about how heavy everything is

So he rushed to you and scoops away the crates of fruits and snatches three of the bags from you as you stumbled down the narrow hall

You exclaim in some graceless manner, equally surprised and relieved at your arms being freed

“Ya got quite the armful, love?” He asked, unbothered by the weight load and awkward armholds. John, he introduced himself as when he beat down the door some weeks ago, asked for the rest of the bags. Even if you denied again and again he won’t concede until he’s removed everything but your purse from your hands.

It sounded near like an order when he told you to lead the way, one more flight of steps won’t kill him he says, before gesturing with his eyes. You won’t try to think about how little space he gave you to pass him by in the narrow hall, making no effort to move. You chalk it up to him hands being completely full, despite his entryway being more than enough room for him to move back.

John carefully drops your groceries down to the ground and even helps you put it away, giving up on rejecting him after he couldn’t hear your four times repeated refusal. John already knew where all the spices went, and even where your breakfast pastries go in your pantry, but you suppose it was good guesses since he mixed up your recently organized junk drawer for your knife drawer

Once everything was put away, and kitchen quickly tidied by your awkward need to keep busy, John prolonged his stay by pointing to water damage at the baseboard of your walls and inspecting it with hums and hahs, muscles barely contained in his undersized shirt

He says he’ll be over later, will tools and supplies after a run to the hardware store, mentioning something about a good friend who’s a plumber and can look at these pipes with a knowing eye

“Bloke lays pipe real well” a passing tongue-in-cheek that seemed too literal to be anything less than a joke as John saw himself out

He made sure to mention to keep your door locked tight

“Heard there’s been a lot of break ins in the area. Don’t worry… I’ll keep you safe.”

I think my favorite thing about doing ginger red hair instead of cherry red hair is: lying to people about it

I adore your comparison of a crafting table to a catalyst because it’s not only great world building, it’s also got some really funny implications.

When studying an IRL chemical reaction, broadly speaking the two things we care about most are 1) how energetically favorable is this reaction (do I have to input energy to make it do the thing) and 2) how fast does it go. These are thermodynamics and kinetics, respectively. You can have a really fast reaction that actually isn’t energetically favorable, and you can have super slow reactions that are actually SUPER energetic, and everything in between. Catalysts actually only change the kinetics (speed) of a reaction - if something isn’t going to happen naturally on its own over time, adding a catalyst isn’t going to help. Biological systems are a great example - cells mostly function on their own over time, but you NEED enzymes (natures catalysts) in order for your body to function on a relevant time scale.

You mentioned that a player could whole-sale code, say, planks into steps on their own, but that the crafting table just makes it faster and easier. However, by definition of a catalyst, just placing planks in the correct configuration would EVENTUALLY make steps over a REALLY long time, and that’s hilarious.

I suspect that Grian’s use of his natural catalytic abilities in upcoming chapters will be much less hilarious 🥲. Actually wait brb heading to the combined wall/google doc to check—

I think it's cute that Psychonauts pretends that anyone could handle psychic powers responsibly because if I could explode the heads of whoever is behind all these spam bots that keep following me? There wouldn't be an unexploded head in the HOUSE.

they say if you get pamper and treat a dog, the dog will think of you as a king). but if you do the same to a cat, the cat will think that they’re the king

how true do you guys think this is?

(ok even i can admit the this sounds so cringe. just, uh, please bear with me here ㅠㅠ)

90% chance this is being deleted within 24 hours anyway lol

Last night playing bg3 with my brother, he had Gale like, DIE die in some lava instead of spatula-ing him off the floor in a panic before he's done death saving throws, and I'd never seen what happens before, because I protect my wizard.

Have to say bg3 is not just the game of the year but maybe one of the games of all time.

so it turns out it was actually never that serious

Seeing people (probably people who didn't vote and don't want to accept the blame they deserve) say that it's Kamala or the Democrats' fault if they lost, talking about what they should have done differently, is killing me. The other option was TRUMP, you shouldn't need to do shit to win against someone like him. The Democrats could have chosen a one-leg pigeon with the intelligence of Hei Hei from Moana as a candidate, and it would still be a better option than Trump.

You had the choice between stepping in some slime or some shit, and you are justifying stepping into shit with "Well, the slime was turquoise instead of fushia..." It's not the slime company the problem, it's the people who stepped in shit deliberately.

saw legally blonde again the other night so once again thinking about the legally blonde yolly au I want to write one day <3

-polly is elle woods and yann is emmett forrest, obviously

-the musical has them so perfectly set up as bewildered by each other but drawn together nonetheless and then fierce, fierce friends who would do anything for each other and support each other unconditionally

-yann being bi would also be giving polly advice on how to get her ex back and what usually works with him for guys etc (or maybe she has an ex girlfriend???? something to think about)

-polly finding herself and her power through the law but also her deep rooted (but previously more subconscious) desire to help people and make the world a better place, especially for those who are marginalised in society

-they’d both befriend karl, craig, rose, albus and scorpius along the way!!! the gang found family core

-something funny to me about turning yann fredericks into mr “I don’t go to parties a lot, not good use of the time that I’ve got” ….there’s probably a scene where they do end up at a party together and polly is shocked by how hot and competent at it all he is and he’s like ‘I said I don’t go a lot, not that I don’t go at all’

-the bend and snap / gay or european turns into both yann and polly performing the bend and snap in front of the witness to test if he’s gay and when he’s only paying attention to yann, yann is both smug and proud of polly’s instincts, he probably makes some comment about how he can’t comprehend people Not looking at her

-it’s the genuine friends to lovers of it all!! they are obsessed with each other, they become each others closest and fiercest friend and they both know that there’s something more there but their friendship has become SO important they’re worried about compromising it (also yann thinks she’s still invested in getting her ex back and is trying to be supportive)

-something something polly chapman proposing to yann fredericks just feels deeply right and real
