Big Beef City posted:If you're a student of urban design, wouldn't a book entitled "A timeless way of building" just make you laugh? I haven't read it yet but I understand it goes hand in hand with the Jane Jacobs' Death and Life of Great American Cities theory that the built environment influences behavior. And that during the 50s and 60s we (planners) ignored the way people had lived for centuries in favor of untested ideas that in theory should be the "ideal" way to live. Which lead to urban blight and huge impersonal housing blocks where gangs of teenager ran wild and people never interacted with their neighbors. As well as that the aesthetic is influenced by classic patterns that reflect nature and mathematics like the golden ratio and that by throwing out the older rules, we've created unattractive and inharmonious buildings. But I haven't read 'em yet so I'm just paraphrasing reviews. It may take me while; they're fat books with little bitty print.

I had an eyelid twitch like that for about three weeks straight this year. And several wasp stings to the face, causing it to swell grotesquely for most of Rifflandia. I should do an annual ridiculous injury/illness roundup instead of a year in review. Still not as bad as the year with two broken toes and a Bell's palsy I guess.

Big Beef City posted:Man I hope you got some class theory background or you're gonna gently caress poo poo up bad. So like I'm not an architect or an urban planner, I'm just an uncultured engineer who likes to do construction work on houses and has an interest in how cities work. So I'm approaching all this stuff from a very uneducated perspective. I'm honestly asking am I saying something that's like super naive or dumb? I really don't know much beyond what I've read here and there; the extent of my education in this type of stuff was one class in "Architecture and Society" to fulfill my fine arts credit.

Pick posted:my brother donated $200 worth of bees to the needy I donated a bunch of bees in my niece's name when she started getting into bugs. She was excited. She's coming on Friday to visit for a few days and we'll go to DC. She wants to see the Declaration of Independence  We're also going to a restaurant that has cricket tacos and she is very excited.

t_violet posted:Rubber gloves and a new dish soap dispenser. Which sounds lame (dammit, I guess I am an adult now) but I asked for them as they're Casabella gloves, the best rubber gloves out there (and I'll actually do dishes if I have gloves) and a nice new Simple Human dispenser to replace my rusty one. My big presents were a heated comforter and a vacuum Talk about boring adulthood, but both will be really nice to have.I also got some fun stuff, knitting stuff, a few little kitchen gadgets, sheets, and a Cook's Illustrated subscription. As you could guess, I've been all about nesting for awhile now. And of course there was chocolate. It was just a nice chill day. We got up less early than usual, and after presents, there was still time to nap on the couch with my parents' cat, then produce a big family dinner, then more catnapping. 5/5 would Christmas again.

I got to see some of my favorite almost-relatives, on my fiance's side. And give them awesome presents, which I love doing. My mom sent my son a toddler golf set and a toddler tee-ball set, I think because she doesn't like my kid's other grandmother, whose basement and middle floor we're occupying/sharing right now, and who has a ton of lovely knick-knacks that are easily breakable. I need to stop supplying my mom with information about the Rival Grandma, I think. I got all of my presents before Christmas day, because... that's how it works around here, if you're an adult. My fiance got me a fantastic, fleece hooded-footed pajama onsie. It makes me look lumpy but I do not care, we sleep in the basement so the kid can have the sole middle-floor bedroom, and it's cold as balls down here. I got a surprise set of lipsticks and balms and such from a Canadian friend's favorite lip-specific company, called LippyGirl. A thank-you Christmas gift for being a go-between for her and companies that don't ship to Canada, or only do so for a ridiculous fee. I've only tried the balm so far, it's fantastic except for the minty part. I like the mint, but it can dry out lips. I got one secret santa package with three mini Tarte blushes, a Too-Faced palette, and an Anastasia Beverly Hills palette/kit thing. It also contained a handful of indie shadows, which I'm super happy about. I got another that contained two things that I already own, and am swapping with ToeKneeHand for Canadian candy and whatever cosmetics stuff she sees fit to send. The rest was samples. I guess one overly-awesome secret santa gift makes up for one pretty meh one. A different Canadian friend that I also act as a go-between for sent me the Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette, which I'm crazy about, and a set of mini Butter London polishes, some of which I love, some of which just aren't my color. She also sent me several indie polishes, and has told me to keep a couple more from orders she's had sent here, so I am just drowning in polish, considering my Christmas present to myself was two gift sets of holo polishes and topcoats from an indie company. Not a bad Christmas haul, especially considering I'm almost 30.

A bubo (Greek boubôn, "groin") (plural form: buboes) is the swelling of the lymph nodes. He was about as much owl as you can get.
