    They're saying that it looks like schools won't be open for the rest of the year. This entire situation reminds me so much of Contagion it's scary.

    That would be horrible. There is no childcare for people if that happens. Do you know where this rumor started?

    I work as an investigator for child protective services and schools in my county have been shut for another week at this point. This affects our low income families who don't have child care and now won't have meals for their children that the school provides during the day. It is utterly heartbreaking. These same families are affected by bulk buying because now there are no basic food items left on our shelves in stores that accept EBT, SNAP, WIC, or any welfare payment methods.

    For those who haven't noticed, Mako will act as a special guest at Schwarz Stein's oneman live at Shibuya REX on February 25, 2018.

     

     

    Kaya also mentioned in his twitter that it's only a "prologue" (whatever it means).

    Anyway seems like this time there'll be a continuation of the story.

    The last time I started a separate topic about it someone moved it to SS 15th anniversary discussion as insignificant, so I think I'll just leave it here.

     

    Be still my heart! I saw when he posted on his Twitter about it a few hours ago and I almost lost my mind. Unfortunately I can not attend, however I am incredibly happy to see that he is more active.

    Cooking and trying new cuisine is one of my passions. I find that there is art in the preparation and presentation of food, and wondered if any of you felt the same? I felt it would be interesting to have a place to show Food pictures, recipes, restaurant recommendations, food cravings, and to host discussions about foods from all over the world.

     

    I am South Asian and was born in Karachi, Pakistan but I moved to Texas when I was eleven years old and it has shaped my food identity quite heavily. I adore spices and complex flavors but I appreciate warm and comforting foods as well. I cook almost every day, and my short term goal is to bake macrons from scratch and purchase a quality stand mixer.

     

    On the menu tonight is pan seared Rib Eye steak with creamed garlic butter potatoes and a cranberry arugala salad drizzled with a cracked black pepper, lemon, and olive oil dressing.

    I did Secret Santa with my siblings and got a portable suitcase turntable. Now I can buy vinyl records and listen to them!

    I ordered myself a RarezHut lucky bag and opened it on Christmas~ I recognize most bands but most of it is new to me.

    I was especially happy to find an old release of Lolita23q in there! It sure takes me back!

    I also ordered myself some accessories from YesStyle (first time buying there) and I'm especially happy with my screw earring.

    @Mephistophelesjealous of your instax btw! That was one of the things on my Secret Santa wishlist. I think I'll buy myself one soon~!

    I love your record player! I have always wanted one as well! You should definitely get yourself an instax they are adorable! I have not been able to get any film locally as of yet though as it has been sold out in all of the stores in this city due to holidays. I will have to order some online.

    @MephistophelesYou received some really cute household items. I had no idea they had those cameras in my favorite shade of purple, it's so cute. Might get myself one eventually.

     

     

    Christmas haul was:

     

    - Organic Coconut body cream and hand cream as well as Burts Bees lip balm. Can never go wrong with these items, specially when they're organic and from great brands so I'm very happy

    -More lipsticks and lip balms collection from a friend. I'm stocked up for 2018

    - Me and my sister are splitting the price on some The Sims 4 expansions and that's our gift for one another this year lol

    - Nier Automata and some new boots with wool lining for winter. 

    - I'm a super chicken lover and I got this beautiful print. Still need to find a place to put it.

    I thought I had replied to this but realized I had not. I love that shade of purple as well @platy! My fiance ordered it on BestBuy.com and it looks a lot more pink on the website which worried me when she showed it to me but it is perfect in person. One can also never go wrong with good cream and lip balms! My fiance adores Nier, I recently bought her the soundtrack for Nier Automata. Also that Chicken print is beautiful! We adore chickens. My mother-in-law has chickens on her property and they just hatched their first chicks. They are silkies mostly but they have two Rhode Island reds and ended up with two Silkie and Rhode Island Red hybrids that look like tiny dinosaurs.

    I'm the type of guy who don't celebrate christmas and I don't give away christmas presents. Which means I don't receive too many either. But I got a handful of presents from people at work anyway. The best one was the gift I got from the kid I work with (2nd grader). A SUPER MARIO mug and a Bowser coaster (top right).

     

    Really appreciated those. Been using them a couple of times daily ever since I got them last friday. Had to open it together with the kid who got 'em for me as he was really keen on seeing my reaction to it.

     

    And I got a bag full og spekepølse (cured sausages?). Contained a shitload of different type of cured sausages, some meant to eat with bread and similar food and some meant to be eaten together with a beer. Featured a knife and a coffee mug made out of wood as well. Really appreciated this too. Can never get enough food, and this is the type of food I never get enough of. It's expensive as fuck, so I never really buy it for myself.

     

    Other than that what I got was mostly crap tbh. I know my co-workers meant well and all and that is nice, but it doesn't change the fact that it's useless crap that I'll never use.

    Food and food related items make incredible gifts! I am sorry you received some items you did not like, but I am glad there were things you really enjoyed.

    - Herschel x Hudson's Bay backpack. I *really* wanted this, so bad, especially for traveling and if I work as a teacher. I've never owned anything from either company before. Needless to say I'm in love with it. I love the fleece lining inside. Not huge on brand names, I just wanted a decent backpack and I like Hudson's Bay's signature colours. lol Thanks, parentals!

    - Holga camera, but it's not here yet.

    - Some noice clothes.

    - A lot of chocolate.

     

    Got gift cards so going to buy a sweater I saw in H&M and also buy some decent pants because I got rid of most of my winter wardrobe.

     

    I love a good bag! I like to travel a lot and a sturdy and stylish bag is always icing on the cake. Your haul sounds fantastic! I am glad you received things you can not only enjoy, but things that are functional and long lasting.

    Looks like you got a lot of cute stuff! I've been thinking about getting an Instax camera but I think I want it more for the novelty and the cute film than actually putting it to good use, so I've been lukewarm on buying one for the past couple of years.

     

    My husband and I don't really exchange presents in the "traditional sense" anymore, but we went on a Christmas date that he paid most of, and while on the date we saw some winter items he could use so I bought that. Yay memories over stuff. ❤️

     

    A few weeks before I'd put in an order at Sephora to get some stuff for friends, and added the Kat Von D Saints & Sinners palette to my cart. It has a lot of colors I'll get a lot of use out of at lives/events and the packaging is brilliant. 😍 (image credit @gothicbrat on Reddit)

    My family, for the most part, didn't exchange because we'd already pooled quite a bit of money to attend my mom's wedding the month prior, except for my grandparents, who shopped for themselves and then sent us the bill lol... (But then later gave us double that money as our present.)

     

    Overall it was pretty win-win since I didn't have much wrapping or international mailing to do, and Christmas was pretty stress free.

    My fiance and I normally do not exchange gifts any longer either, but she surprised me regardless because I have been coveting an instax but I am terrible about buying something that will solely be for me. That palette does have incredible packaging! I have the Saint and Sinner perfumes and I have the Sinner Lip Liner and Liquid Lipstick. I was going to purchase the eyeshadow palette but when I did swatches the colors did not appear vivid on my skin-tone (I have dark skin) so I was a bit dissapointed about that, but it looks stunning on your swatches! Thank goodness for a stress-free Christmas!

    Merry Christmas 2017 to all who celebrate it.

     

    I thought it would be interesting to see what gifts people received or what they may have purchased for themselves? Even if it is not related to Christmas, I would love to see what people are proud of buying or things they received as gifts at any point in the year!

     

    To start, here is mine and my fiance's Christmas haul from the in-laws, and the Instax Mini 9 that my fiance gave me,

    I'd be down for that.

    I want deadman back,  9goats too

    I wish they would both be back. deadman especially, but I know there is a reason for Mako not returning to the music scene actively though.

    I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce my animal family. From left to right, I have a Blue Eyed Leucistic ball python named Mephistopheles, he is one and a half years old. Then I have an Albino Checkered Garter snake who is six years old and his name is Felix. I have a one year old male Double-Tail Betta named Flower. I have a four month old Albino Axolotl named Mochi. I have a four month old Northern Blue Tongue Skink named Kafka. I have a five year old miniature Chihuahua named Vicious, a three year old Chihuahua Dachshund mix named Sykes, and a six month old dilute calico Sphynx cat named Pixel.
