A friend used to call one movie theater the "interactive" movie theater, since there always seemed to be a lot of talking back to the screen.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

When we saw Endgame, the row in front of us was filled with preteen boys. Their designated adult/mom, sitting next to me, told them "Remember, only inside voices during the movie!"
I turned to her and said, "How about NO VOICES during the movie?"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I need to see Knives Out again at some point because two women were talking non stop to each other for the first 30 minutes, ignoring everyone dishing them until someone got up and asked them to please stop discussing the movie until it was over.

Do you actually do all the laundry before work, from washing through to folding, Tom? Because that is serious. I might throw a load in the washer before work and do the rest in the evening. Or the next morning. Or over the course of the next couple of days...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No, just the laundry. 2 or 3 loads, simultaneously, because there are usually 3 free machines. Takes about 70 minutes, while I eat breakfast. Then I fold when I get home.

The status is NOT quo.
One does not simply become a morning person.
No, even after 23 years of having to be one every school day.

a friend of mine was talking about the late-hours laundry policy that his condo association set up a late night addition to what doing the laundry cost -- from $1 a load to $15 a load.
Wow that is crazy!! How loud is laundry that they need to disincentivize late night loads?? I would be super mad at this. (Though to be fair half the time I do laundry during the day since I work from home, but still! Sometimes last minute you need pants for a trip tomorrow or realize the blouse that goes with your interview suit is dirty or whatever...)
I was supposed to have a doctor appointment (consultation) today, and then my usual weightlifting class (just for December and January), but both got canceled. Now I'm not sure what to do with my evening. I kind of want to bake a cake, but I feel like I should go to the gym and see if I can lift weights there.

Every time the debate screenshot is Biden Sanders I see muppets in the theater balcony. It helps.

I regret to inform you that despite this board's collective cry out, it is somehow morning here. Seriously, rude.
