Watched "The Water Boy" for the first time, just to see how we felt about it. I... didn't hate it.

@Shadami: Nah I think that's a pretty fair question lol
Basically I mean the kind of obviously LOTR-inspired setting/character types that have become pretty ubiquitous in the fantasy genre. It's reached a point where if I say "fantasy", people take for granted that there will be a medieval setting, orcs, beautiful human-like elves, etc. Just really not my thing, as I'd rather take my own approach to the stuff of folklore and fairy tales than just copy-pasting the style popularized by a certain author.

@Alyssya: The brand is Bedgear; they have a lot of "performance bedding" stuff on their site. My pillow is actually one of the older, less expensive (by their standard, anyway) models that they had at the mattress store while I was shopping for a new bed. I saw it on the display mattress and after one touch I had to have it. They come in different versions based on different factors like sleep position. I could probably stand to get a new one of a fresher model by now, but I still enjoy mine and I can't really justify spending that much on a pillow again any time soon ;v;
Posted in There is a mouse . . . Posted 6 years ago
The only thing that worked for us when our apartment had mice was poison bait. We tried trapping them both live and dead for a while, but neither was good enough to end the problem. After we finally moved on to the bait, it wasn't long before we stopped seeing mice altogether. You'd have to be careful about where you put it when you have a dog, though, and train him to stay out of those areas. If you do decide to stick with traps, I recommend switching things up every so often (different trap placement, different types of traps, different bait) so that the mice don't catch on. That will help it stay more effective.

"Just upstairs. I'll show you," said Valko. With the laundry going, they led Bertrand back down the hall toward the staircase. On the left, facing the patch of woods that surrounded most of the property, was an open guest room. "It's already got fresh towels an' clean bedsheets. Lemme know if you need anytin' else." They gestured for him to go inside and have a look. The room sported a kitchenette, a small bathroom, and cozy, nature-inspired decor. It was one of the smaller suites, but it had everything a single visitor might need for a comfortable stay.
@Piaro: Sure, I'll send a trade

I have one pillow for my head, but not just any pillow. A fancy, expensive pillow that stays cold and is specially made for side sleepers. I love it.
I also have a body pillow, which is practically a necessity to take pressure off my knee and shoulder joints.
There is also a second body pillow, but that's just here because someone left it at my house. I do, however, sometimes use it to close the gap between bed and window and keep the curtains from fluttering open. I have to sleep during the day, so I gotta put in a little extra effort to keep the room dark.
@Raxton: Sounds good to me; I'll send a trade.

@Nyuu: Sorry, just traded for them! But I appreciate the offer. I will let you know if anything changes.
Updated with some new stuff to sell.
Posted in Now this is just a suggestion Posted 6 years ago
TBH I'd rather have more body type items in general. mods or clothing items that allow for different shapes if having multiple bases is out of the question (as I assume it would be, given the work load involved). I like the female virtuous guard body but not a fan of the male version.. plus I'd rather an expensive item like that retain its value, so an exact copy of one of the poses would defeat the purpose imo.

"Here we are." Valko pulled open a set of doors at the end of the hall, revealing a room full of stacked washer and dryer units, laundry baskets, carts, and linen shelves. The room had a more functional appearance than what they had just passed through, being bare of almost anything that wasn't a laundry essential. The only exception was a set of chairs flanking a small table at one end, atop which sat a few books, a notepad, and a cup full of pens. Had it been brighter and less rainy, the window behind the table would have offered a stunning view of the lush hillside atop which the hotel sat. Valko set about preparing one of the washers and instructed their guest to put in his soiled clothes. "I'll give you a robe if you like," they offered, nodding toward a rack next to one of the linen shelves where the spare guest robes were kept. "If you 'ave any dry cleaning, put it in dere"--they motioned to another basket--"and we can send it off tomorrow."
