Tati’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm just watching the Iron Flame readers popping up on the tracking sheet LOL

just finished my Chicago book :)

-Do you play an instrument or sing?
I don't play any instruments. I love to sing, which doesn't mean I'm a good singer LOL
-Ever been on stage?
Yep, I've been in a couple of school plays and ballet recitals
-Ever been in a band?
Nope
-Favorite museum you have been to?
Pergamon, in Berlin
-Favorite work of art?
Beethoven's 5th symphony
-What work of art have you not seen yet but really want to?
The Last Supper
-Do you prefer old masters or modern art?
Old masters, for sure. Modern art doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
-Ever used a ceramics wheel?
Nope, even though my mom has one
-Ever recreated the scene from Ghost with your partner? Teehee
Nope

someday I'll live in a country with snow, and I'll get to ski and ice skate

I've never skied.

it's on my to-do list for sure. First, I need to earn the money to go to a ski place LOL

call me crazy, but I miss "real" winter.

I love the feeling of being all bundled up and feeling the cold in my cheeks, or walking into a heated space after walking for a while in the cold.

because Rio is a big music city, obvs LOL

Jenny wrote: "We need one more unique city before we can start doubling up.

Any takers?

✔️Austin, USA
Berlin, Germany
Bogotá, Colombia
Brazzaville, Congo
Chengdu, China
✔️Chicago, USA
Detroit, USA
Havana, Cuba..."

I'd just like to say that I'm peeved that Rio is not on that list.

I've noticed the SS is not caclulating page points in the Round 2 tab

I might have something for Chicago

managed to squeeze in one last book for this round (my French class was canceled today, so more reading time)

- Sparkling water or flat?
Flat, and ice-cold. I was not a happy camper when I went to Germany and found out that it you ask for water, their default is sparkling water.

-Flavored water or plain?
Plain.

-Bunny slippers or socks around the house when it is cold?
Socks all the way.

-Mounds or Almond Joy?
Don't think I've ever tried either of them (not sold in Brazil).

-Do you buy Halloween candy that you like in case there are leftovers? Or, do you buy stuff that will not tempt you?
I don't even buy Halloween candy, it's not a thing here LOL

-Horror movies or RomComs?
RomComs all the way. I'd never be caught dead watching a horror movie

I kinda gave up on Zelda, I kept getting lost in the world LOL I need simpler games

I'm a very occasional video game player. I have a Switch and I'm waiting for the Hogwarts game to release for it, which should happen next month.

they might even be using some software to do this, which then causes these bizarre captions. Automatically generated captions in YouTube and Google Chrome have a lot of these errors.

Fortunately, that's not the case with the devices they use in theaters. Those are keyed to lighting and sound cues and the script is loaded into them beforehand.

Just curious, would he consider using one of the captioning devices they have in theaters? When I went to NY, I managed to get a ticket for The Lion King, and got one of those devices. It worked quite well. (they have to offer some sort of captioning and audiodescription device according to ADA).

I'm currently having a long weekend (started on Thursday, and ends tomorrow), so I've been enjoying the chillier weather (we have had a couple of really hot days lately).

Yesterday I got together with a few friends and we played Mario Kart and Overcooked, it was really fun.

thanks, everyone, I just took it out of the spreadsheet :)

also, I need to take out Waco Rising: David Koresh, the FBI, and the Birth of America's Modern Militias from the sheet, it can't be used to this round...

I *think* there is a blip in the formula for counting the books read by each member in the Member Info tab. It refers to column C in the Round 1 sheet, but I think it should refer to column E
