Finn and Rey's Cat Cantina and Pizza Parlor (The Fanfic Social Thread)

We only had 2 inches of snow where I lived.

 

My great-grandmother started having kids at 16 and didn't stop till she couldn't. There is little to do where my mother's family comes from besides fish and have children, because my grandmother started at 16 too (though I'm not supposed to know that - I have a half-uncle that died as an infant before my grandparents met - though they started before they were married when my grandmother was 19).


Anyways. My favourite online shop is having one of their clearance events. It's where I got my awesome purple blazer. This time around I got a $170 dark grey blazer for $35.

 

90, wow, and to be surrounded by so many of her grandkids & great-grandkids! Must have really made her day.

We didn't get much where I am, either. But I was lazy yesterday & didn't brush off the car. Snow turned to solid ice and trying to scrape off the windshield this a.m. made me late for work. Mea culpa.

New clothes good. New clothes on sale better! You'll have something swanky to wear for your graduation!

If DarthRL is flying in all directions, at least the plotbunnies are under control! I finally finished the rest of my Celtic Challenge story, and with one or two tweaks it will be ready to post. And I FINALLY got to start the bunny I've wanted to do since SEPTEMBER, a sequel to [another story], so it will be good to get that out of my brain and on to paper. Of course, more immediately, I have to figure out nominations for the Golden Yodas Palpys Yodas (Leias?)! So many categories! So many deserving authors!!!!! AAAAAAACCCCKKKK!!!! How is the bunny wrangling going for everyone else?

Mav Edit: Edited out story title. You can talk in generalities, but not specifics about stories in the social thread.

 

Gamiel art dump time!

Rick Guidice's rendition for the Lunar Colony interior.

 

Intersting art Gamiel
Although I guess the interior is a little bit to luxurious for early colonialisation.

BTW a question came up today and maybe you know the answer.
Did Lusa already appeared before YJK? Or was she created for that book series?

 

Anedon - According to Wookipedia, her first appearance is in The Crystal Star, but then mostly appears in the YJK with a mention in NJO.

Oh nice, Bri! I love it when that happens. I told my friend who used to be a costumer for TV/Movies about my need to find a dress for the Gala at Celebration and she's already found me a bunch of dresses. One of them was $350 and now is only $125. That's more than I wanted to spend but it's soooo pretty. The only problem is because it's so discounted, I can't return it if it doesn't fit.

Those are cool, Gamiel!

 

Or maybe they decided that you needed that luxury to be able to stand the rest of the environment.

Yes she appeared before* and no she was not created for that book series


And while we are talking about Lusa, my favorit fanart of her:

Thanks mavjade, Gamiel
Nice fan art sadly she never grew up to the adult centaur Jedi knight on the right.

 

That's why we have fanon

 

And write fanfiction.

 

To fix what went wrong!!!

 

Discount clothes! Always good. Just last week, I was shopping around for new casual pants. Found two pairs I really liked at a Kroger Marketplace near me (not the one I work at, which isn't a Marketplace). Price tag on them said $34.00 each, but they were on sale for $19.99 each. While in the fitting room trying them on, I saw a sign on the door advertising their Mystery Deal: load a digital coupon onto your Kroger Plus card, and it would randomly give you 15%, 20%, or 30% off of all apparel purchases. So I loaded it, and got the highest discount of 30%, reducing them to $13.99 each. And then, because I'm a Kroger employee and the pants were a Kroger store brand, I get a 20% employee discount off of that, bringing the final price for each pair to $11.19 each. Even once sales tax was added, I paid less than $24 for two pairs of pants that were originally $34 each.

 

Sheesh. Now that ^^^ is a complicated way to figure out the final price... Back in the day we used to achieve the same thing with plain old haggling

At the venerable age of 98, my grandmother has a grand total of one child and one grandchild, period. She's completely gaga about my nephews and nieces though, so I don't feel too guilty about not providing the great-grandchildren.

And now, from the Department of Advanced Science... the man on the right in the pic below is the spokesman for the second largest political party in Greece. And he's speaking "with his hand on his heart". And he is a medical doctor. *pulls hair out*

Spoiler

 

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

If he thinks that his heart is on that side of his chest... it's at least problematic

 

Oh man, I hope that's a reversed image because that's embarrassing! It would be even worse if he were a cardiac surgeon!


jcgoble3 - I had no idea that Kroger had a clothes line, there weren't any in my hometown area (in the 4 Krogers in a 30 minute radius). I miss Krogers, they always have some sort of good deal going on. That was quite some masterful discounting on your part! That's awesome!

 

It's definitely not a reversed image, I saw it live on TV last night. He's a professional-basketball-player-cum-politician who studied medicine on the side. Funnily enough, he obtained a PhD from Athens University shortly after becoming friends with our former prime minister.

I guess the lucky thing in there is that he isn't a cardiac surgeon.

 

Maybe he has dextrocardia.

 

dextrocardia is actually a plot-point in the movie Ninja Assassin

 

My heart is in the right place (/rimshot) but my stomach is reversed. Causes x-ray technicians no end of confusion. I also don't have a spleen

 

Wasn't dextrocardia a plot point in an episode of House? Or was it Mean Girls. Arg. This is bugging me now. I'm remembering a TV show or a movie where some high school kid gets stabbed by a fork in the "heart" but survives because his heart was on the wrong side (or maybe all his organs were reversed?).

Anyways - funny picture!

I'm slightly going crazy here. I have 2 VERY short papers left to do. They are only 750 words each and but one is due next week. And I just want to do anything but it.

So I'm shopping for new luggage for some upcoming trips that I'm hopefully going on (I'm going on one for sure, but I'm still waiting on stupid brothers to get their passports before booking stuff for the other trip). I normally travel with a huge duffle bag, but I'm kinda wondering if I should get a huge travel backpack like I bought my brothers.

 

It was on House one time, though I don't remember any specifics about the episode.

Back when I was in high school and thought I wanted to go to medical school (something I thought all the way through my junior year of college after suffering through Organic Chem) I shadowed a bunch of doctors in our local hospital. I got to see an autopsy, follow a through the ICUs, and got to hang out in the ER for a day. Well that ER day, I was actually shadowing a Physician's Assistant for part of the day and he was about to be an OR PA. So we got a patient that had appendicitis, the surgeon knew he was about to work with invited him to scrub in and invited me to watch. They were going to remove the appendix laparoscopically until they couldn't find it. It was on the other side and slightly malpositioned at that. It was so cool to watch as a high school student. Heck, who am I kidding, I'd think it was cool now. Anytime I have a patient with something unusual I get excited to learn about it.

 

Maybe he's a Time Lord and that's his other heart.

 

OMG...I am rooting deep in the bowels of the FF board, and finding things that I have ABSOLUTELY NO MEMORY of writing!
