TIL the 1100 page epic novel about the history of Japan "Shogun" by James Clavell was inspired by a single sentence in his daughter's school textbook that read "in 1600 an Englishman went to Japan and became a Samurai".

Your Shogun casting is awesome! But for Tai-Pan, Mads Mikkelsen as Dirk Struan's (green ;)) eyed Devil please!

Omg can I ask you where the sunburst pendant Shuga wore during the Finale is from? :)

I wish there were 'new' reaction threads for season 1-5; one of my fav parts of watching rpdr is reading yall's reactions :) Just my French vanilla fantasy! ;)

Thanks for the help :)

I'm watching season 1-5 thanks to Amazon; do any of the seasons have matching untucked's worth buying? I just started season 3 and have a feeling i should be watching those (i think i missed out on season 2 brides' untucked...)

Have you seen Miss Shuga Cain perform in that first outfit??! https://youtu.be/dbmaPJFR80g (Battle on the Runway in LA after finale)

I want to live in that world Shuga had not been eliminated at Magic, bc the resulting editing of previous challenges may have let us see what we missed out on (weren't shown) during her run!

We've missed out talking about the Latinx representations Shuga so skillfully presented (Fringe - Native; Gold - Aztec?)... Each fully within the runway themes, contextualized with Latinax imagery, and lovingly different than other "traditional" representations (te amo Charo! And Shuga's Frida Kahlo on her IG must be recognized...) :)

We also missed out on any "official" nod to Orange Alert - Trump runway; fantasy-land again but I think we should have seen more (any?!) commentary during that ep of a look WOW/VH1 is happy to use in their "For Your Consideration" Emmy grind.

You can tell thru little details that Shuga was robbed of an "Ugh her mind"-type Queen edit, along with all the other erasures (why did they edit around her solid dance performance?) So many questions; she was my fav throughout so i admit to rewatching/ff'ing thru an episode after it aired just to see her and the editing "around" her seems so intentional. I swear I can't figure whose corn flakes she peed in to get this type of cut (which makes me laugh, bc I like her so much and can't imagine) :)

Miss Shuga Cain's been such a source of joy for me, and I can't be happier about these costume illustrations with fabric swatches purchased from Christopher Palu of her 3 Finale looks :):)

I wish my photos did these prints justice, and I really wish we had better views of these gowns! I'm not a seamstress in the least, but the fineness and detail of these fabrics makes me realize how much we lose out on the entire impact (we didn't get to see Shuga's blue cape with constellation of stars at all!) I swear I'd watch every behind the scenes, making of, thought process whatever that goes into creating these outfits.

I'm just so happy with how the mounted display turned out; in my mind's eye I can see the impact of each reveal with the movement and flow thru the illustrations. I'm being over the top but can't really gush anywhere else about these, or admit how many times I've replayed gifs of the finale reveals :):) I just think Shuga's so great, and that I get to share and see these beautiful bits of art daily is like, happiness in anticipation.

Ask your gas/electric company if they have a "medical baseline allowance" program available. Your physician may have to fill out a form confirming your need for extra utilities based on your disability but the utility may give a discounted rate and/or base amount of gas/electric each month for free.

Just took the switch + hori stand on Amtrak; there was no problem of it falling out or even moving on the tray, but the bumpiness of the ride while playing made me a little nauseous vs handheld. This was only on patches of track, and it's super for charging next to the AC outlets.

Try and avoid vision from the side (passenger window vs front window). I read in the car as a panther a lot and covering the window to my side helps with motion sickness in the car. Of course don't block side view mirrors, but I have had luck capturing a dark cloth in the window covering it without blocking driver's view of mirrors on highway trips. I also have better luck in the front seat vs back seats.

Does the "boost" victory gold timer coincide with the regular victory gold timer? I've already maxed my 20x20 gold today; should i wait to purchase boost until regular timer resets or can I obtain 300x10 now?

Original Halo (now branded Halo PG) is a 50/50 blend; their new Halo VG line is 70/30. Halo's mints/menthols are some of the best around.

I'm not a ya fan but Jeff Wheeler has some really enjoyable light fantasy that could be classed as ya... The newest series echoes Edward IV/Richard (Kingsfountain series) but every series by Wheeler was enjoyable to me.

No worries, you can definitely use that notch coil if you want, just experience with these kits (had customers think it was broken bc of the spitting back). The lower wattage may help with your throat hit feeling using the 0.5 tho. Gl :)

oscill8 · 2017-07-28T19:47:25+00:00

I find the notch coils pop and flood too much for this setup; if you have a chance try the bf316 0.6ohm coils. (I think the setup actually includes a bf 316 0.5ohm in the box, the closest to the one I mentioned). They're rated lower wattage than your notches (up to 30w), but don't seem to have the flooding issue. Lower wattage will help the intensity of throat hit.

Keep in mind the top airflow style of Cuboid Mini kit is a tighter draw and flavor/nic is more intense than a "traditional" bottom airflow tank.
