    I love to hear that. I often just put the shot in a glass of water because I like the taste and to hydrate at the same time.

    I think moral rights is a grey area and I won’t touch on that but I will say that his username loosely translates to GrossGuy which can’t help. Again I’m not sure this law is the right way to go and I think this case has been framed in the media to be more about abuse to fit into a click baity narrative instead of the actual sentence. BUT at the same time I think it’s important to bring this behaviour forward so we can discuss the very reel personal consequences this have on people in this line of work.

    Well Tildorks I agree. It’s a very homey comfortable place to be and it always gives me the feeling that I want to contribute more and that’s a success in my book.

    This is might be a bit controversial but I ended up hate-listening to The Notebook Trilogy by Ágota Kristóf. If it wasn’t for my book club I would never had finished it. I just couldn’t get into the premise of no patos what so ever. It was like alternative jazz music to me. I know a lot of people really appreciate this and I want to like it…but just don’t. To no surprise I was the only one not loving it.

    Is this a joke about avoiding to be aroused in public or is there more to it?

    I chop up a pack of ginger root and turmeric root and simmer boil it in 1.5 liters of water for 45 minutes, let it cool a bit and then squeeze 3 lemons in it. Maybe a small spoon of honey if the taste is to much but that’s a preference. Then just pop it in the fridge in a glass bottle and remember to shake it before you drink it in the morning.

    I don’t know if it completely removes the bad taste/breath but it feels like it and leaves a much better taste and feeling in your mouth. Also the jolt of vitamin C is a nice way of starting your day. Plus it’s easy and cheap to make.

    I would love some pictures! It’s a hard concept to discuss without but it’s totally fair if you’re not comfortable sharing.

    As someone from a country with a long tradition of ‘good lighting’ especially in terms of design it fascinates me that there aren’t any mentions of lamp choices, positioning etc. but more light bulbs and digital switch dimming in lack of a better word. Maybe that’s just your focus and I commend you for the hard work.

    I rewatched PhoneBooth (2002) for the 10th time or something last night and it made me think why I like this movie. I'm deeply fascinated by honesty and authenticity, probably because I've struggled with these issues in my own life and just recently in the last couple of years really worked on it myself. Colin Farrell delivers in his role and while this is probably before he was revered as a top performer this movie really shows his abilities. Plus how great is Kiefer Sutherlands voice! Great casting. I'm always drawn to movies that takes place in a single environment because it relies heavily on characters, performances and a great idea. PhoneBooth does this very well IMO and with just the right duration (81 minutes).

    I'm open to suggestion in this "genre" including horror cause I know it's a classic approach in that genre.

    I agree but I’ve always used covers so maybe a cover would even out the camera bump. I’m considering this for my 13 mini but I don’t know.
