BTW, please don't think that I'm not a serious player just cause I keep guessing Ds.
Wah! I noticed I forgot to include your quote and 'D' in the last update. Thank you for staying a step ahead of me and making your additional guess! Will update with the D guess momentarily. 3nodding
*trying to use the wig he got from the support box but isn't really feeling the green version* also I guess an E? (HAs no idea where the results are)
Skeleton Words has been updated. You may make an additional guess.
Any 'i's?

WE CAN TOTALLY CALL AQUAMAN, ALL WE NEED TO GIVE HIM IS BOOZE AND BEARD CONDITIONER.
2nd Deadpool has... I forget his name but he's this killer child actor from New Zealand. I am so glad we're seeing more New Zealanders in hollywood movies, their sense of humour is so hilarious, it's like a nihilistic version of Australian humour, not quite as nihilistic as Irish humour. I just love everything he's in, he's got range, but he brings a real... realness? To what he's doing, even if his character has progression, he's as real at the beginning of the movie as he is at the end.
Black Panther is awesome, I saw it at the drive in, those guys know how to do puns- the Tolkien White Guys- I love it, they saw the chance and took it.
We have Netflix but I'm not addicted to it, it's mostly for others. I like having things on for background noise but I suppose maybe I'm particular over what I watch and if I like it hard enough I will buy it. There's not much on atm. That's Australian Netflix, tho, and I know the North American Netflix is vastly... more vast... than we get because EVERYTHING WORKS THAT WAY.
No, of course I am not bitter about living on an island in the middle of the sea surrounded by NOTHING and ANTARCTICA where NOTHING HAPPENS and ALL OF OUR GOOD AUTHORS AND BANDS AND ACTORS MOVE OVERSEAS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING HERE. Why would I be?
I might be one of the oddballs here, but believe it or not, sometimes I would much rather live somewhere like New Zealand. Having so much here, especially by way of media, makes it really easy to plop on the couch and spend hours listening/watching media or playing screen games (whether cellphone, tablet, or computer). Without a firm fist to say 'that's enough', it's easy to get addicted.
As a youth, hanging out with friends meant spending the day at a sports club or park. No-one talked about TV shows or games. Movie talks were limited to whatever was on the big screen. Now, I can honestly say at least 50% of the group hangout time is spent glued to a phone. If you can't talk about the most recent TV show episode that someone else is hooked on, it's tough to find a conversation topic. There's a big reduction in face-to-face communication. I think it is actually harder to maintain real life friendships these days because there's so much 'stuff' out there.
I have a personal theory that when you live somewhere most of your life, you start to believe 'there is nothing here'. (Sometimes I think the same way of my city, but if I look up the tourism website I remember why we still get tourists). You really have to put yourself in the shoes of someone who has never been to your country to realize how beautiful it is and what opportunities and wonders it holds. I think I may have mentioned this story before, but I have a friend from overseas who never saw a heavy snowfall before. The awed expression on her face when she saw everything completely covered in snow, golden sunlight making everything sparkle, made me realize how 'routine' snow was for me.
When I think of New Zealand, there are two things that come to mind first: - Landscape (believe it or not, it's on my 'want to travel to' list, and I'm an outdoor, all-terrain, all-weather runner) - Medical School (a family member spent a few years in New Zealand for their residency)
Technically there's a third thing that comes to mind, but uh.... let me know if this one is annoying: sheep. I was hesitant about mentioning sheep, as people asking if Canadians live in igloos, regularly see polar bears, and say 'Eh' all the time is a tiny bit annoying. (It's also completely false, EH?)

Had to post this YouTube clip since there are some ocean ties. (Recognize the 2018 eruption and consequences, but still appreciating the video.)
