Typically, it should mean “water closet” but seeing as that floorplan already has a bathroom shown, and the “WC” is in the kitchen, it would mean “wine closet” which is similar to how a dishwasher is located in the kitchen. The wine closet is a wine fridge built into the kitchen.

Xbox store has some digital games on-sale. I see something that I want. I better check the balance on my credit card first.

I've spent way too much recently. A crazy amount of money on all hobbies. Clothes, games, anime, cards, etc. Felt like I was making up for lost time after doing nothing but saving for a majority of the year for no real reason. Seriously need to take it easy going into the new year though.

"Seventy percent of households in the United States owned one or more pets in 2020."

What. The. Hell. I'll never understand it. Had the impression that nearly everyone had at least one, but this isn't too far off.

Gold Ranger · 12-25-2021, 09:34 AM

No pets here.
I did as a kid, but not for 20+ years now.
Don't believe I ever will.

Because dogs and cats are far superior people to humans. Chickens too really.

been thinking of these lyrics off and on yesterday and today:

NOVA by VNV Nation

Quote:

I long to feel my heart burned open wide, til nothing else remains
Except the fires from which I came
Like parted souls, divided for an age, awe and wonder I'd embrace
And the world anew again
But now, this picture from me fades
From still's cold hand there's no reprieve, light the fire in me

Shine, shine your light on me
Illuminate me, make me complete
Lay me down, and wash this world from me
Open the skies, and burn it all away
'Cause I've been waiting, all my life just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me

I dreamed the world, with my eyes open
But time moved on and then, new worlds begin again
Oh my heart, in this universe so vast
No moment was made to last, so light the fire in me

Shine, shine your light on me
Illuminate me, make me complete
Please shine, shine your light on me
No hesitation, make me complete

Lay me down, and wash this world from me
Open the skies, and burn it all away
'Cause I've been waiting, all my life just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me

Lay me down, and wash this world from me
Open the skies, and burn it all away
'Cause I've been waiting, all my life
Forever waiting, shine your light on me

'Cause I've been waiting, all my life just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me

started to write again and wondering if "You: Conflict and Resolutions Across Time and Space" is a good title for a science fiction fantasy book.

If I did one of those "First time watching ______" videos, it would be terribly boring. So fake.

Scarriere · 12-29-2021, 01:40 PM

I just looked at the hot celebrity that isn't thread, or whatever, and I'm not sure if it's laughable or pathetic. Maybe both.

Packing is going well. The weather for loading the truck is looking good, especially after a brutal cold spell.
We were visiting my daughter and GrandBrats yesterday and I got pretty emotional. Thankfully my daughter was downstairs and didn't see that, she would've too.
I'd like to squeeze in some more visits with family, but we're fairly busy and not everyone I want to see are vaccinated so I can't chance that.
My wife is dealing with many tasks along with this move, but things are going well.

Is that like a “reaction” video on YouTube?

If you make one, make sure your video thumbnail is a picture of you making an exaggerated and ridiculous face. Just look as stupid as possible. That will definitely get you a ton of views.

Xtempo · 12-29-2021, 04:43 PM

Why is this story (the one I am writing) turning out to have parts from other unfinished stories and poems. Weird I can't get it out of my system then.

Member-222782 · 12-29-2021, 07:40 PM

Weird how luxury cars today are virtually indistinguishable from regular cars - at least on the outside. There was a Jag SUV parked near my job yesterday and it looked like a Kia lol. You'd see a Mercedes or a Benz on the street and salivate and wished it was you behind the wheel but today you're like meh. Everything looks alike across all brands.

I miss the days when cars had serious personality.

Currently on my mind...2022/end of 2021! Do any of y'all set personal goals for New Years? Obviously the chances of keeping a goal/resolution long term is a joke and for this reason I usually don't set any serious ones. Sure I'd like to lose some weight, be fit, save money,etc..but those are redundant therefore I won't mention them.

2021 has been Hell for my anxiety,more-so than in 2020, I'm just glad it's over. Biggest goal for 2022 is to downsize, the plus side of a 1000-mile move is realizing you own way too much stuff. I've always been fascinated with minimalism, and although my girlfriend and I are looking to get out of this tiny one bedroom suite and into something bigger(not necessarily a house but some place more freeing than an apartment complex) I want to only own things that'll fit in my 5.5ft crew cab pick-up and maybe a 6' trailer. She was smart and sold off 95% of her stuff prior to our move last spring, I on the other hand had a hard time getting rid of stuff.
Side goal is to crack down on my drinking problem. I've always suffered from substance abuse in one way or another, I'm sure this doesn't help my anxiety issues...

Changed the title to the main character since its about her anyway and her name means Light which is important to the story. Claire is a much better title anyway
