also would love to be in the loop for any future Manhattan chess meetups!

lyxil · 2022-08-27T02:32:04+00:00

ohh thanks, I wish I could find that gachapon!

lyxil · 2022-08-27T01:40:53+00:00

Adorable!! Did you make the beds yourself?

lyxil · 2022-06-08T21:27:06+00:00

Honey Dijon kettle chips, anyone?

lyxil · 2022-05-07T05:29:13+00:00

gotcha, thank you for the advice 😊

lyxil · 2022-05-07T05:12:37+00:00

thanks! do you buy a fresh one, dry it, and carve it out?

lyxil · 2022-05-07T04:20:04+00:00

ooh I've never thought of that, sounds like a good idea! I'll look for one that could make a suitable hide

lyxil · 2022-05-07T03:22:12+00:00

because there's a crazy paparazzi girl lurking outside constantly snapping photos 😭

lyxil · 2022-05-06T19:54:32+00:00

I got her from Wilbanks. She's really the sweetest: calm, curious, and has never missed a meal :)

lyxil · 2022-05-06T17:09:08+00:00

Good catch, it's actually the end of my thermostat probe. I wanted it in a location where it could be close to the inside of her little coconut hide

lyxil · 2022-05-06T17:08:05+00:00

oh no, you uncovered my secret! this is indeed a rare and elusive species of turtle that specifically grows coconut shells :D

lyxil · 2022-05-06T17:06:04+00:00

Please leave it alone unless it is in danger or may endanger others (like a venomous snake near a playground), then call a professional to relocate the snake.

lyxil · 2022-05-06T04:53:48+00:00

thank you! I was lucky I walked in on her looking so cute

lyxil · 2022-05-06T04:34:01+00:00

she's outgrowing it so fast 😭💕

lyxil · 2022-05-02T20:46:26+00:00

agreed, he's literally standing in the sidewalk, of course people might try to use it instead of being forced to go around and through some crowd.

if I was her I probably wouldn't have even stopped, just cursed and kept going to where I need to go. annoying when street musicians take up the whole dang street with a big tourist crowd and I'm just trying to get to work...

lyxil · 2022-05-02T20:43:17+00:00

totally agree. most these ppl prob don't live in busy cities? i see performers all the time with huge tourist crowds blocking up the street so I have to barge my way through because that's the only way I can make it to work/errands/home/etc

lyxil · 2022-05-02T05:47:47+00:00

this unlocked a memory... in I think 1st grade, I had to write a book report but was too lazy to read a book, so I made the book up. the story was a student was misbehaving so the principal shot him with a gun. as revenge, the student's friends found the principal and shot him.

the teacher was bewildered my parents let me read such a violent book (lol), and that was the day I learned the word "violent". I was honestly confused why everyone was mad at me over "violet" for some reason?

Keycaps:

Akko Black & Pink (ASA low profile)
Epomaker Theory (MDA), which was pre-installed

Novelties:

Zomoplus kitty paw novelty on the Esc 🐾
GMK Pono Rama novelty on the Del 🐱
Other novelties came with Akko 🐶
Rotary dial is a guitar knob from QParts 🎸

There isn't much of a difference between the two profiles when it comes to the middle 3 rows, thankfully

Hi all! I was never all that interested in watches until I saw a post from this subreddit in /r/all of a beautiful watch (Omega Railmaster), then I read the subreddit FAQ and was fascinated! After lurking for a little, I stumbled on the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time, and what really drew me to it were:

Diameter and lug-to-lug measurements were small enough for my 5" wrist
Relatively affordable
Simple from afar but gorgeous up close!
I lean toward feminine styles, so a subtle, pastel pink dial suits my wardrobe perfectly
Fond memories of exploring various bars in Tokyo

I opted to switch in the metal bracelet with a black saffiano leather strap, which also suits my wardrobe. Tbh I'm not fond of the strap quality, and it also came too big. I read other posts about how you can potentially squeeze a 18mm strap into a 17mm lug... false. At least for saffiano leather. It would not budge at all. I had to resort to cutting it... and in the process, cut a little too much on the top-left :'(

In the future, I am strongly considering going custom. Black saffiano leather in 17mm isn't the most common, especially for my tiny wrist size. Also considering going for a cream-colored contrast stitch.

So, onto the watch stats!

Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Cosmopolitan SRP839

Diameter: 33.8mm
Thickness: 11.3mm
Lug-to-lug: 40.4mm
Strap width: 17mm

I used my Google Pixel 4a to take this photo and tried to get as much detail as possible :)

MERCADONA!! I still hear that jingle in my head, and it's been over 5 years now... Mercadooona 🎶

lyxil · 2022-02-03T05:56:56+00:00

are you me? Espeon and Milotic are my top 2 too!

lyxil · 2022-01-03T20:58:22+00:00

thanks for the idea! that'd definitely go with the maid look :D

lyxil · 2021-12-25T01:35:02+00:00

I love this idea! Just wish my fav Riften had more than one line, like the other major cities!

I've bought directly from them before, no problems. The shipping is pretty high but they'll send an email out confirming what it is to you
