This is probably better suited to the Backstreet discussion thread, but I listened to his episode of AJ's Pretty Messed Up Podcast, and it was delightful! That's the kind of Brian content I need more of. Now I should go back and listen to the Nick and Kevin episodes I missed.

Thank you for coming to the second edition of Dee's six word stories, lol. They've been more fun than I thought.
Oh was it? I might listen to those ones too. Of course I still haven't listened to the one about IWITW that I meant to listen to, so... I'm just not a podcast person. Can the Boys do a TED Talk? I love those.

--- End quote ---
That's a really long game! I'm sure they have an audience for it though, so if they have the funding to do it, they should just keep going.
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on July 21, 2021, 10:12:28 PM ---Totally agree. I hate writing sub plans and not knowing what kind of mess I might be coming back to. Sometimes it's fine, and sometimes I come back to find none of my plans were followed and parents are pissed off about something inappropriate the sub supposedly said, and then I have to deal with the fallout of that. So I don't miss a lot of days.
Yep, that's why having Wednesdays off would be great - you only have to work two days at a time.

Exactly! I've been doing some subbing in classrooms here recently and most of them aren't writing sub plans at all and it just blows my mind. So I have been practicing my skills "productively winging it." It is only going okay, lol. Ugh, angry parents are the worst.
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on July 21, 2021, 10:12:28 PM ---I watched the ones for Jurassic Park, The Force Awakens, The Lion King, and Fifty Shades of Gray. If you search for SNL celebrity auditions on YouTube, you too can go down that rabbit hole LOL.
--- End quote ---
You just want a friend in that rabbit hole, don't you? lol
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on July 21, 2021, 10:12:28 PM ---Good! I also feel my life is better when I have breakfast foods available. I've been making breakfast a lot lately.
--- End quote ---
What have you been making? Hubs is the breakfast maker in our household, but I am very into my routine of eating a chobani and banana every day. Or every weekday at least.

This is semi-related to BSB fanfic, did anyone else see this post on r/FanFic? https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/comments/on3xw0/blast_from_the_past_fanfictionnet_20_years_ago/
I died laughing that people responded with surprise that Backstreet Boys fanfic was ever a thing, lol. Anyone recognize any of those stories on the example page? Also I just realized that I also started writing fanfic over 20 years ago... What a crazy life we live.

--- End quote ---
He does have beautiful face balls!
I also wanted to be Stacey; she was always my favorite! I did not want to have diabetes, but of course that made her more interesting to me because even as a child, I was fascinated by that kind of thing. I was more of a Mary Anne or Mallory though.
I may have asked you this already, but did you watch the Netflix adaptation of BSC last year? It was wonderful! I went into it thinking I would give it one episode for nostalgia's sake, and I ended up watching the whole season in one sitting LOL.
--- Quote from: nicksgal on July 21, 2021, 10:22:24 PM ---There is an airport in Lexington! I've been there because our flight to Ohio got canceled while we were at the airport, so we ended up closer to where we were going for not a bajillion dollars. For some reason, flights to Kentucky airports are suuuper expensive at the beginning of May. ;) lol (Yes, we were going for the derby and to see hubs' sister.) Anyway, it's not a new airport (built in 1940), so you were correct. But it's a good reason to learn to fact check. I never wrote a beach house story either, but I wish I did, lol.
--- End quote ---
Oh fun! I have been to Lexington twice now, but never the airport, since I drove both times. Makes sense that flights would be expensive during Derby week, but I bet that was a cool experience.
--- Quote from: nicksgal on July 21, 2021, 10:22:24 PM ---Oh you're right, Howie would have been the best choice. Sorry I forgot you just like Jane did, Howie! Maybe Howie said no because Nick tried to date his cousin, lol.
--- End quote ---
LOL Howie probably said no because Nick drove him nuts!
--- Quote from: nicksgal on July 21, 2021, 10:22:24 PM ---Ugh, painting behind the toilet would be hard! Did you finish your bathroom in the past week? I forgot to ask.
BSB planning has got in the way of my writing life lately, lol. But the streak lives! The next PD isn't until Monday, so hopefully the Boys announce nothing else crazy then, lol.
--- End quote ---
Yes I did! It's done except for the Redrum decal and artwork on the walls. I thought it would be better to wait and let the paint cure before I put that stuff up, so I'm gonna do that part next week. I'll take pictures then. But I love it already; the paint colors turned out great!
LOL Yes, it's been so exciting, but hard to focus on fanfic. I'm happy we have events to look forward to that aren't still a year away though! I'm glad your streak is still alive! Hope you have a productive rest of the week.
--- Quote from: nicksgal on July 21, 2021, 10:22:24 PM ---I keep telling hubs that it's "anal" and he gets mad at me every time, lol.
--- End quote ---
LMAO!! That's probably it. But I hope that's not the way the Boys want it.

--- End quote ---
I thought AJ's podcast was mostly about addiction, but they didn't discuss that at all on Brian's episode. So for anyone else who didn't really care to hear him talk about that for an entire podcast, tune in! It focused more on BSB and AJ and Brian's friendship.

Yep! I hope they do the whole series. It's a really well-designed game. I don't play a lot of mobile games, so I can't really compare it to others like it, but I appreciate that you can play the full game for free and get that far on it. Of course there are options to buy perks to make it easier, but I haven't spent a cent on it.

Ugh... that's so frustrating! I would never do that to a sub. But it is good to practice winging it! LOL

I went through a French toast phase a few weeks ago, but lately it's been mostly variations of eggs - omelets, scrambled eggs, eggs over easy, breakfast burritos. I don't usually have time to eat breakfast on school days, so it's nice to take time to cook a real breakfast. I am not a big banana fan, unless it's in a smoothie or something baked (I love banana bread), but I will make myself eat one plain if I'm trying to be healthy because at least they are filling, as fruits go.
