Hey Chrissy, in the future can you please add a word or hashtag to your Taskmaster watch tweets? I mute on Thursdays until I can watch and it would help a lot in avoiding spoilers. Thanks x
My local sci-fi convention doing a taskmaster community event with tasks like "drop the one ring into mount doom from the largest distance, farthest wins" is a 10/10 nerd experience
I highly recommend the Death Becomes Her musical. I don't know what they put in it to make it this addictive, but it's the most hummable soundtrack on my rotation these days.
Not to get soppy on main but it's now exactly two years since The Worst Day TM and the fact that I can get on zoom with people I adore and just laugh for an hour is something I really do not take for granted. The world is awful but I love my friends. Yeah, I mean you. 💛
The show was great, but like, can you imagine explaining this photo to yourself from last October? That thought brings me a lot of joy. You've come such a long way and I'm so thrilled for you both, happy anniversary x
I actually didn't mean to do it the first time, but I had just seen the original cast do it on Broadway and downloaded the soundtrack to listen to on the flight home from New York. I cried the whole 10 hours and a tradition was born. Oddly cathartic, highly recommended!
So you understand how right it is to listen to Captain Bass sing "ladies and gentlemen put your seat backs and tray tables up, right below us is the city where I grew up" as you start landing!
What you're referring to is just 38 Planes (Reprise) from Come From Away, and I will admit I've listened to it on every single flight I've been on since 2018. We've been on an aircraft together for hours, it's good to have closure.
I like the rollercoaster comparison because the change is fast and unexpected. Up and down aren't necessary strictly good and bad, but they're polar opposites and you switch between them quickly, not voluntarily, leaving you a bit dizzy.
I'm lucky that my medication personally isn't life-saving, so while I'm miserable without it and my condition is getting worse, it's not as risky to go without. But hearing about the insulin really scared me.
My meds are still out of stock. The pharmacist told me she ordered 26 cases of insulin and received 2 because there's a shortage of *everything*. She was near tears, "who do I give these to, how do I choose?" and I wanted to scream that the world is so unfair but instead I just said "yeah".
Do non-official designs help? We made a blue and white Falafel John in 2012 for our local nerdfighter group (see screenshot) and while it's been longer than I care to think about, I can reach out to the friend who had these printed and ask if she still has spares in storage.
