yesterday my curling club had their open house. 768 people registered to show, which is a lot of people to get through the place in four hours. i volunteered to be on the ice, to help with the quickie curling instruction and supervise while people got to throw rocks and sweep. there were some spectacular falls, but no one was hurt and everyone ( Read more... )

Love the story about the penguins! :)

Huh, somehow I totally missed Timeless had returned, I'll have to hunt it down.

aren't the penguins great? a million and a half of them hiding out on an island, and no one knew they were there. surprise!

this is us is also on nbc, so i've seen the timeless preview a bunch of times. it's just the one episode so far.

I have now watched the Timeless ep. I think the guy being 'eh, whatever' about Rufus and Wyatt being together was Rittenhouse so purposely didn't make much of it because he wanted them to come with him so he could kill/interrogate them? But, yeah, Lucy's hair was wrong. And I was sort of annoyed with the dropped Marie Curie thing (I mean, they never returned to talk to them? Explain something, tell them about radiation maybe?) I really like Timeless, but at the same time I always kind of find myself cringing how they sort of try to explain away some of the time issues but it just winds up making the things they don't address stand out that much more

>>Explain something, tell them about radiation maybe?<<

no, because that would be ~changing history~. (never mind how much history they've fucked with so far....) there's a lot of timeline handwaving, isn't there? it's frustrating and sometimes realllly glaring.

sorry you lost.
Also I do not recall what this big bang is? A writing contest or somesuch? Good luck on it regardless.

spn-j2-bigbang. it's kind of a fanfic challenge - you write a fic of at least 20k words and someone makes art for it. i have until may 1 to finish the first draft. fingers crossed!

that is the cutest icon. puppy!

Haven't seen Timeless yet, but soon!

Penguins! That's always good news. Those ones look so soft and huggable, too. :O

tsuki_no_bara March 16 2018, 03:52:38 UTC

you're only one episode behind! should i warn for historical handwaving and general time travel fuckery, or is that a given?

penguin news always makes me think of you. :D and they are especially cute and squishable, aren't they.

We watched it tonight, and there were some things I'd forgotten from last season. Even though I remembered some of them... WTF with Lucy's mother? Though I guess this is the version of her that exists _now_. Her personality has changed a lot from who she originally was, but then again, history has rippled a few times since then, too.
