Put a time limit on my Instagram use, and lo and behold, I've finished three books in as many days.

Funny how that works, eh.

Bravo Hugh Grant, this is one hell of a quote:

"As is common with entirely innocent people, they are offering me an enormous sum of money to keep this matter out of court.”

Why has Hugh Grant settled his phone hacking claim against the Sun?
The actor said he wanted to fight on – but the size of an offer from News Group made it financially risky to continue

“Dear diary,

It’s been 300 days since we’ve seen sunshine. Vitamin D supplements are running out. The Caucasians are starting to become translucent. Nobody knows what time of day it is anymore, it’s all darkness… I don’t know how much longer we can take it.”

Some years ago I started asking ppl I know in long term relationships(10+ yrs) what they thought was the most important factor in a successful partnership. I have polled across ages, races, nationalities, sexual orientations.

By far the most common answer across all of them is"selective hearing"

Pisces: You will be faced with a life-changing decision this week. Regretfully, you will choose the mini-corndogs over the jalapeño poppers.

There's a Bulgarian expression that's kinda hard to translate, but basically means “I'll kill you and do the time” („трепя те и те излежавам“). Like I want you dead SO badly that I don't mind the consequences. Embrace them, even.

I think that at least 87 times a day in work.

When he calls you pretty, but an NPC in Mask of the Rose just said this:

“I always know where you are. Wherever I go in the streets of London, I know which road leads me to you. As sure as the pull of a compass. I have fallen for you, so much so that you have become one of my senses.”

Any given coffee I have after 12pm on a weekend has approximately a 50% chance of containing either Kahlúa or Bailey's.

The likelihood goes up to approx. 85% during the cold months.

It's not my fault it gets dark at 3pm & my Eastern European brain goes brrrr.

Having rewatched all of LotR last weekend, and now rewatching the Hobbit films, the drop in quality is so noticeable.

Everything is CGI, including things that absolutely did not have to be. No love for the craft, no attention to detail, no passion. Just a cash grab.

The expression Jack of all trades is often accompanied by a second part, the longer version being “Jack of all trades, master of none.” And my favourite Cantonese phrase that expresses the same sentiment is 周身刀,無張利. It means “equipped with many knives, yet none are sharp”

🚨 new MEGA blog post alert!

Somewhere in North America lies the town of Gulch. This starter town slots easily into horror millieu, urban fantasy, or magicless settings. Use it stand-alone or as a pit-stop on a psychedelic roadtrip, compatible with any RPG that has credit cards and cellphones.

There is a large graveyard full of my enemies. I don't want to add to it, but will if given no choice. Those who pick fights with me do so at their own risk, but maybe this is your lucky day.
