I've been watching LPN Bloodbath and it has struck me how GOOD of an actor Henry really is. I am not talking about his character work, but his actual investment in the character he plays.
Mel (his VtM character) is deep, nuanced and compelling. The last scene with Mel and his touchstone honestly made me tear up a little.
Dude can ACT!
This is the First Officer. It has come to my attention that parties as yet unidentified hacked my copy of Vulcan Love Slave VII: The Passion of Pon Farr. The person or persons unknown reprogrammed all the Vulcan Love Slaves into Tuvix, further they disabled the Safe Word Protocols. I was in sick bay for three days.
While the Captain and I believe the USS Jersey Shore should be a place where harmless pranks and ribaldry is a part of our ship's culture, this is excessive. The offenders should make their presence known and apologize. If I am forced to launch an investigation, I promise the perpetrators will lose more than their holodeck privileges.

First Officer, USS Jersey Shore
Hi there! Essentially as the title states. I've had abysmal experiences with laundromats in my neighborhood. I will admit I'm a germ freak with a little bit of contamination OCD. I previously had in unit laundry in the city. If I don't going forward, I'm wondering if anyone has good recommendations of how to handle this? I would happily pay someone $100 or so per month to have access to a private washer/dryer unit.
Thanks!
The movie is a classic, but the song is forgotten gem of the time.
Now, excuse me I have a dance off with Ricky that I need to win.
To this day, I WISH I could be a smooth as Lord John.

How do I get rid of this page?? everytime I want to make a reservation or go on google flights, this shows up.
I dug out the books and put them back on the shelf since I am playing again.
BTW: Pacesetter's Chill is an overlooked gem in the genre.
In the spirit of collegiality, accept that the Van Halen and Van Hagar are two distinct bands. (This the way to healing, people!) Which is your fave post Diamond Dave song?
Hi, not sure if this is the best place to ask but I’m looking to learn Arabic and want to find speaking partners to practice with. Particularly I’ve been interested in learning Emirati Arabic but I’m flexible on the dialect. Has anyone had any success with meeting native speakers for practicing Arabic in the city?
Just came back from the final session of the Lost of Temple of Yig where my Investigator Abel Winslow (a battered, depressed, ex-homicide detective) tried to avert the End of the World by charging the High Priest and fumbling. He tumbled into a pit of snakes and when the other party members tried to rescue him and we all blew our rolls. Abel fell back into the pit landing on the snakes and amidst the sacrifices for the ritual. This was the final straw, he had already lost 12 Sanity in a short a period of time and falling back into the pit face to face with the dead sacrificial victims got him one more Sanity roll, which he failed and his mind snapped. As the serpents struck him he broke out into maniacal laughter that caused two other party members to lose Sanity as well.
Finally, as Yig rose of the pit our Keeper in a fit of devious cruelty made sure that Abel's laughing body was prominent in the writing morass which caused ANOTHER Investigator to go temporarily insane! Only two people escaped to wake up in a hospital some time later, only to discover their doctors were snake people and THEY were snake people too!
God, I love this game!

He's just a regular guy who just moved here.
I don't know if people are totally aware that people will go crazy and start burning things down, smashing windows, lighting busses on fire, that kind of thing.
So, my ship has kids on it because "Starfleet" and today during quarters inspection the "Captain Assistant" was "helping" (honestly I think they just the kid of some crewman he wants to bang) Long story short, the little "assistant" took out my mint in box Marauder Mo and began playing with it and lost his energy whip! Replacements on Lobebay are like three bars of GPL!
Should I ask the Captain to pay, the kids mom to pay or should I just shut up and shell out the latinum?
Only in NYC, folks

I just finished listening to Leviathan Wakes (audiobook is the only way I hadn't consumed the content already.) Miller on the show is depressed but sane, but book Miller is...complicated. Before 1st Eros he imagines Julie but it is just that, imagining her. After Eros he begins to interact with his Head Julie, and she him. The whole Eros experience caused the cheese to slip off his cracker right?
Or, was Miller infected by the Protomolecule? Maybe not a transformative dose, but just enough to connect him to the hive mind of the PM? In the audiobook when Jefferson Mays speaks in Julie's voice it is separate and distinct character, and it speaks to Miller, gives him insight that he just shouldn't have about Julie and about the PM itself.
I don't know, this has just been rolling around my brain like a ball bearing in coffee can and I needed to get it out.
As I dig deeper into the series, I finally figured out what the story reminded me of. Back in the 90's Guy Gavriel Kay wrote a novel named Tigana. There are many themes in common with the series and this novel, the plight of the exile, the struggle of losing everything and the thin hope of regaining it. It is less a story of the great struggle but those who fight the struggle. I cannot help but think Daniel and Ty read it. (Not that they COPIED it, but were influenced by it)
If you enjoyed the themes in common, I deeply recommend Tigana. It is one of the most beautiful books of literary fantasy I've ever read. Any chance to put it in the hands of new reader is a good thing.
