Things My Dear Roommate Knows About House of Leaves: - it's in the Pretentious Books Collection - people have told her not to get the ebook - on page like 670 you go "ohhh, it really *is* a House of Leaves" - it's when there's more rooms

I am trying but the contrast is so hard to convey!!! Like the moon was not black at all like you see in pictures, you see different dancing greys but with the most impeccable contrast you ever seen and the golden rays leaking almost too saturated that it looks like rainbows but in only warm tones

I should really watch *My Dinner With Andre* at some point; I really enjoyed Louis Malle's *Vanya on 42nd Street*, though that admittedly was during the time in college where I was really into adaptations of Chekhov plays for some reason

Binder Clips Georg, who requested 50 binder clips, is an outlier and has been excluded from the study (from Xu, Schwarz, and Wyer, "Hunger promotes acquisition of nonfood objects", www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.14177… )
Exclusions.

One participant in the hunger condition requested 50 binder clip samples, which was more than 7 SDs away from the sample mean (mean = 3.90, SD = 6.48). One participant did not follow the instructions to complete the binder clip survey. The data from these two participants were excluded from further analyses. One participant reported a potential food allergy and skipped the blind taste test. However, because this participant was in the hunger condition and the taste test was introduced after the binder clip survey, the responses to the binder clip survey were unaffected. Therefore, the data from this participant were included in the analyses.

LIVE YAKUMAN REACTION Thank you to Mani ( vgen.co/xinmoni ) for doing this very silly photo paintover commission of the time I dealt into www.twitch.tv/chiqn_p[...]
Echo takes an excited selfie of a riichi mahjong board where Chiqn reveals the glorious 13 Orphans yakuman hand he has just won by taking Echo's discarded tile, the 9-pin. The word "Yakuman"  is superimposed atop it.

Echo is a foxgirl with orange hair and under-rim glasses; she's making a peace sign and is clearly astonished just to have seen a yakuman in real life. Like, she's going "omg this is so cool what the heck!!!". The fact that she lost to it is really third or fourth in her mind. Chiqn is represented here by a white anthropomorphic cat wearing a turtleneck and a long bluish-gray jacket with ruffled white sleeves, with two tails and a halo around one ear.

Well, if you can believe it, I dealt into twitch.tv/chiqn_p 's 13 Orphans hand at the OffKai riichi mahjong tables yesterday
Chiqn_p's completed Riichi Mahjong hand, viewed from the opposite side. Chiqn had 13 of the tiles needed: white dragon, two green dragons, red dragon, south wind, north wind, west wind, east wind, one pin, nine sou, one sou, nine man, one man. The only tile remaining is the 9 pin, pictured left, ron'd from me. Chiqn's discards are also suspiciously 13 Orphans-looking; no terminals or honors at all.

That world is basically gone, but it’s still true. There are all the very valid consumer rights points and the knock-on externalities and all that. And then there’s also the fact that physical things that link humans to other humans are just better for the soul. It’s ok to mourn that!
