RAVING/HAPPY SH!T MEGATHREAD

2 classes today were cancelled and one was moved. My CT is also gone so it looks like this is pretty much a day off.

^^ Those are the days that are worth living for^^

I have been washing clothes almost non-stop since yesterday. Absolutely floored that I can now put more than just two articles of clothing into my machine and have them come out cleaner and fresher than only a few days ago.

I feel like a new woman.

My gr5 boys have decided that I am ScarJo. I look nothing like her, but I'm still going to take the confident boost.  Mostly I was just impressed at their pronunciation of her name.

스카요

I think that one is talking about their love for "Ska" music.

스카조, maybe.

Isn't it nice when you can finally like, remove a major annoyance from your life?

Also, washing clothes is so satisfying. Like it's really kind of an easy thing, but there's so many stages that it feels like a big accomplishment every time something is finished drying.

In Korean they pronounce her name 요한슨. I've never met a Korean who pronounced it with a 'J' sound at the front.

Yeah, you're right! Was thinking of the way it's pronounced by some English speaking folk. In Korea, of course, they spell it as correctly pronounced - 스카조.

They did say her full name (not ScarJo), I just couldn't be arsed to looked of the correct spelling of Johansson when I first wrote it out.
As a dutchie, I fully approve of the 요한슨 pronunciation.

Johansson is my mom's middle name. My dad's nickname for her used to be Jo (요). After emigrating from Dutchieland and watching a few too many crime dramas he would occasionally try to get her attention with "yo Jo!" until my siblings and I managed to explain how utterly embarrassed he should be for coming up with that and saying it out loud.
   Well, actually, he's pretty shameless so couldn't have cared less about that, but we threatened to vandalize the family car, reprogramme the VCR, and make him eat our cooking unless he stopped, which proved to be more effective.

Dad jokes are the best, tho.

Maybe someone should give him other ideas (warning: vid).

6th grade teacher just came into my room to inform me that there will be no lessons today.  Well....... YAY ME!    

Did I ever tell you how much I love this school?  No sarcasm.  I really do love this school.  I'm gonna miss it! 

Good guy EBGames.
They have a delay on my shipping my order. A game I pre ordered was released today, usually it arrives to my parents first thing in the morning, but the store had their game shipments delayed.
So, they gave me a free digital copy of my game, so I could play today, while I wait on the physical copy. :p

Excellent.
It literally costs them nothing to do this except for a few microcents worth of server time, but not all companies would have!

I agree. I wasn't expecting to be able to play it for a couple of weeks, because my parents would have to mail it to me first - this also allows me to play it a lot sooner!

The smoking rate of men, who are the primary smokers in this country, revealed this month showed the lowest ever at 38.1 percent.

Awesome! Only 4 out of 10 Korean men are now smokers. It's going down!

That is good news! 

Something I've always wondered about though; why do others care if people smoke or not?  I can see if you're stuck inside a room with someone puffing away, or the mess on the ground from people throwing their butts all over etc etc. but I always wonder at those who (melodramatically) start coughing when they walk by someone who's smoking, or start waving their hands like they're being attacked by a swarm of bees when they see or smell smoke.  I see these acts more back in the States than I do here.  I agree smoking is gross, but I would never act the way some people do around smokers or treat someone with contempt because they do.

It's a modern version of virtue signalling. Back in the day the same people would have been aghast at someone who didn't go to church every Sunday.

Vacation season seems so close already! Can't wait to be on that plane to Japan! 

Given recent conditions, I think you have worse things in the air to worry about than someone puffing on the sidewalk.

Cigarette smoke really does bother me. It smells terrible. Walking behind some douche who is smoking and leaving a trail of smoke behind them, sucks. A static smoker doesn't bother me as much, but it still smells like shit. Its an imposition on others around you. Just as much as some cretin who doesn't wash or use deodorant and stinks of BO.
What if I walked around with a spray can spraying out some awful toxic smell to people around me in public. I'd be viewed as an asshole. If you want to smoke, fine. But do it in private.
