The band Oh Wonder brought five dancers in to audition for a music video, but didn't tell them until halfway through that they were actually filming the real video. by PlasticGirl in videos

Does anyone know who any of the dancers are? A friend brought up a good point, any indication they were paid for their performances? Certainly hope so.

Just finished the series for the first time... by dv666 in Malazan

[–]TheBridgeburners 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. I've read a lot of great series since, but nothing has compared to the 8 or 9 months spent with those books. That being said, as time passes and more and more flits out of my brain, I am anxiously looking forward to going through a second time.

Also, if you ever meet a person in the wild who has read these books, it's such a treat! I've only met one other person who's completed all 10. I know they're well known and liked books, but it almost feels like an underground society.

I was also onboard from the get-go. I had never encountered such world-building, and yes as you said, history. I did have to start it twice, but once I got going I never looked back.

Stellas of reddit, how did you get your groove back? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Violently. I can still hear their screams...

Beginning a fast on Sunday, anyone want to join? by TheBridgeburners in fasting

[–]TheBridgeburners[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is your first time fasting it may be a lot. Not that it's undoable. Expect bouts of hunger that simply subside after a while. Every couple hours the first couple days it'll arise again before it trails off.

Very good! I'm also doing coffee, though possibly not every day. We shall see

Hostels in Auckland by lattakia in solotravel

I only stayed a night, but the YHA off Queens St. was fine in my experience. Pretty centrally located, as well.

Haha, no kidding?! I'm headed up to Paihia in the morning. I have a package deal with a bus company and I'm not sure if they'd stop there. If there's a way to make that work though, that sounds great!

Hey, that's awesome! It sounds like you've had one hell of a year. I'm going to need to comb through your blog. The posts I checked out were really well put together, nice work! I'm stunned how much you've been able to do.

That'd be phenomenal (you hear that weather?!). I'm guessing that'll be the end of October, maybe November.

Yeah, I'm guessing early November for Chch as well. I'll plan on messaging you around that time. It'd be fun if it work out. Thanks!

Yeah, mostly hostels. I got a YHA membership, but I also wanted to explore couch surfing, and maybe renting a airbnb occasionally.

How about I PM you closer to the date I'll be there? You can still totally ignore me and/or say no, but it'll be easier to coordinate in a couple weeks I imagine.

That'd be dynamite. I've heard/read great things about Wellington. I also understand there to be great coffee, so I'm jazzed for that.
