I seem to recall my Karate instructor stating that the sport was calibrated for competitive/controlled sparring, not so much bareknuckle brawling.

In (Cantonese) Chinese, the polite term for "bathroom" literally translates to "hand-washing room"; only children and plebs would use the term (equivalent to) "toilet/shitter" conversationally.

It was a phone conversation, which might have made it easier to...for lack of a better word, swallow. My parents were extending an invitation to come back home, and I was on the verge of crumbling. I think if we'd been in person, I would have tearfully agreed immediately; but hearing those words from a distance,…

Thank you, I am too.

My father held my hand as I tried not to cry over lunch, and told me it would be better to tell my mother myself instead of hearing from him What Had Happened.

I have pretty serious migraines and motion sickness — can't play Skyrim for long or Minecraft at all — but the new OS7 doesn't strike a cord. I am playing on an iPad though, so.

Um, ass.

My Canadian boyfriend took one look and quipped (and I quote);

I regret looking up said Wikipedia article, now I can't stop shaking.

Was pleasantly surprised to find my tastebuds instinctively recalling the tastes and textures of almost every dish she rattled off in the video.

Sounds like mine. Man, them hips and clavicles and handsssssssssssss.

I actually found the book relatively light on dragon anatomy/behaviour and heavier on human drama. Rather disappointing.
