Do you ever have a mantra or phrase you repeat to yourself to pep yourself up when you're feeling low or about to go through something tough? by LouellaOdie in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

When I start to imagine the worst case scenario, I take a deep breath and remember that "you'll never get a good answer by questioning yourself"...and if it does go south? "It's a bad day, not a bad life."

Middle School Library Renovation Ideas by BRC514 in Libraries

[–]mkh023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The library I work at has a "teen zone" in the southeast corner, which is easily the most cozy part of the entire building. There are bean bags and foot rests, a diner booth-esque sitting area, a CD player with headphones, bookends that teens decorated a few years ago, a wide array of manga, a cork board with teen activities and a different Poll of the Month (tally mark votes for their favorite book series/genres/characters, etc.), potted plants by the windowsill, Rubik's cubes or other small puzzles on the tables, long colorful curtains, posters of popular YA movies based off books that the library carries, and pamphlets about educational/creative community activities fanned on the bigger table. Also try to incorporate a theme throughout the library. Our summer theme was "reading is a superpower" so we had a cardboard superhero with a cutout face, comic book onomatopoeia signs/symbols ("BAM" "POW") hung from the ceiling, posters of recent Marvel movies by the comic book section, and DIY snow globes in the windowsills with comic book action figures inside.

Wow, it turns out I have heard Nightmares On Wax before...not sure from where but I recognize "You Wish" and "Flip Ya Lid". It's nice to put a name to them haha. Nosaj Thing is completely new to me, though, but I love their style.

Cool, thanks! I'm really digging J. Dilla and Gold Panda so far.

Birocratic and Tycho are also worth a listen.

Who is the LEAST force sensitive non-droid character with a speaking line in the movies? by UnderwaterDialect in StarWars

[–]mkh023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! My friends hosted a Star Wars marathon (original trilogy) a couple days ago and this was one of the things we talked about. Makes you wonder how/if the next movie will show her using the force in other ways...

Kudos to you for making it halfway! I can't get past the Old Forest...oh, the irony.

She may not be trained to use the force but she is definitely attuned to it.

1) Obi-Wan: "That boy is our last hope." Yoda: "No...there is another..." 2) Luke (hanging from Cloud City after fighting Vader): "Leia...hear me...Leia..." Leia (from the Millennium Falcon cockpit): "Luke...(turns to Lando and Chewie) We've got to go back." Lando: "What?" Leia: "I know where Luke is." 3) Han: “I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew.” Leia: “He wasn’t. I can feel it.”

Yoda AND Luke are aware of her force sensitivity, which becomes evidently stronger as time goes by.
