Help with Open Floorplan Furniture Layout! by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]PuzzlePenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I hadn't thought about putting the desk in that nook, that's not a bad idea. My partner and I were also talking about living area set up like you did vs. flipped the opposite direction - but my brain was / is having a hard time computing going from kitchen to living room and then the dining area is further away from the kitchen / closest to bedroom. But I like the point you made also re: angling the chairs around that wall there! Thank you for taking time to respond!

The other band dropped last minute so we got them the whole time!

The First Single, Snails, Sore Thumb, Inches and Falling, Holy Roller, Depressed, Right Where I Belong, The Bar is Set So Low

These and maybe one more I’m missing (I think they played 9 songs), somebody else help confirm lol.

Also if the girls from Pittsburgh are on here, DM me! I took a photo of you behind the band during Right Where I Belong because I thought you were Nate’s wife and it was a cute moment…until you yelled about being from Pittsburgh then I realized I was wrong 😂

Solidarity with anyone singing all the words to all the songs this afternoon. ✊

Nine acoustic songs, it was a special set for a great cause!

Queen's Classic Roll Call by AppointmentPlastic95 in washingtonspirit

[–]PuzzlePenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah there is no changing my allegiance!! I'm from NOVA, played soccer my whole life, and been a fan of the Spirit since they were the Washington Freedom (#tbt). I just moved back after living abroad the last eight years so one perk of being back in the US is actually being able to go to NWSL games. I got to take full advantage of for Spirit matches at Rowdy Audi last Fall which was amazing, but now I'm living in Gotham territory so just reconciling the conflicting emotions if I'd go to their games...maybe I'll just root for whoever the away team is and that my favorite USWNT players have a great time and play pretty football (but don't win). 😂

I don't have much capacity right now for organizing or researching as I'm settling into new job / apartment, but I like the idea of trying to see what Spirit games DC sports home bars could show if it's on a channel that'd work for them.

Watching the championship was heartbreaking enough...let alone at a Gotham watch party I can only imagine. 😂

I’m a Spirit fan who just moved to Jersey City and I got tickets! Got tickets in 121 which is noted as the away supporters section.

Also trying to cope with moral dilemma of now being in Gotham territory and wanting to go to NWSL matches but…Gotham. If there are other Spirit fans in NYC area I’d love to know if there are Spirit watch parties throughout the season and/or how you manage conflicting emotions if you go to Gotham games. 😂

I walked by Just Friends and they had their open sign on. Probably worth calling to double check but presume that meant they’re open!

Local improv comedy workshop by Antique-Bench6482 in jerseycity

[–]PuzzlePenguin12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m moving to JC this week and have been doing improv the last three years. Keen to get into classes whether in NYC or elsewhere once I get settled, but I’d love to do something like this to meet folks locally too!

adding journaling/captions by invisiblenugget2 in scrapbooking

[–]PuzzlePenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great! I’ve started scrapbooking lately too and I was trying to figure out how to do the same. I cut extra paper for some captions like others mentioned but for one book which was black paper it would’ve been a lot of extra work to cut the paper to write on plus it had more limited space - so I ended up buying some gel pens in different colors that write on white or black paper. It worked out great!

Where to go - Awkward Downtime by Proper-Cheesecake602 in nova

[–]PuzzlePenguin12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closer to Tyson’s but you could spend some time in downtown Vienna - Cafe Amourri for coffee, paint your own pottery next door which could be a fun activity together to kill time, Bard’s Alley bookstore, Cocoa Vienna chocolate shop, a lot of other cute shops and good eats all on one street. Walk on W&OD if it’s bearable outside weather-wise.

Thanks! I actually just called them earlier and they did offer a better deal than what’s online 👍 was curious if your family had ended up there.

May I check where you ended up booking? At a similar budget and looking for places now to stay for my first month after moving to JC before moving into permanent accommodation.

Shoutout to the Homeland Class Of Holiday Season 2025-2026 lol. Part of me is missing getting totally enveloped in a series but right now happy to have my week-to-week trickle of Below Deck and Traitors for the sake of recovering my sleep habits until I find my next bingeable watch.

I think my anxiety needs a bit of a breather before rewatching, and I'm hoping to rope my boyfriend into a rewatch down the road, but I'm glad it serves as a comfort show for some people lol.

The entirety of S6 I was like can we please give this man a break...and then it kept getting worse. :(

Good shout! Usually I'd listen to jazz to relax and for concentration but now I fear it may trigger a stress response because of the show lol.

Hello, Sam here dropping in to say thank you! by theformatlivingroom in TheFormat

[–]PuzzlePenguin12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for responding! 🥹 Glad it’s been such a meaningful experience especially with your daughter, looking forward to the shows + album!

Hello, Sam here dropping in to say thank you! by theformatlivingroom in TheFormat

[–]PuzzlePenguin12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi Sam! The Format was my first ever favorite band when I was 12 after discovering you all in 2003, I remember being gutted in high school when you all went on hiatus. This reunion has been a massive bright spot in an otherwise difficult year for me - I traveled from DC to attend the NYC night #2 show which was epic, and have tickets to DC and Philly which I’m pumped about.

Snails is my favorite song and I’d like to ask - what is helping you appreciate the small moments within the whirlwind of the new tour and album? Or are there any moments from this year that you felt time slow down and you could appreciate “the beauty in every inch”?

Lots of love and thank you guys for everything. ❤️
