Finally got round to doing some more readings for Youtube - complete with plague-like cough and visits from Fiddler!

I've had another day to myself to just be creative and indulge in sketching. I start the new job on Monday but this couple of weeks has really shown I need to make time to do this regularly, it does a lot for my well being.

Anyway, today's efforts! Another addition to our "Map Wall" when it's finished, to accompany Middle Earth and the Chain of Dogs maps.

Things learned: Papyrus is a very irritating font to replicate by hand, and the province of Skyrim has an unreasonable number of rivers.

Went to the Manchester Christmas markets and ended up buying some goodies...
One on the right was £30 and is more my wife's kind of thing. One on the left was £100 and I'm very excited about opening it. Still got a few drams of Glenlivet Nadurra special edition and a freshly opened bottle of Lagavulin 16 year old so I may hold off opening it...

Brahms Hungarian Dances and Vasily Kallanikov's 2nd symphony alongside studying for a very interesting course's final.

The only shame is that the old school hard ass professor is not likely to give me very good marks on my essays, but that's the trade off I guess.

Leaving in a few hours to drive to St. Louis so i can hop on a plane and spend 2 weeks in Spokane, WA. Granted its with the in-laws, but they're cool, and have a seperate living space at their place for us, so we can come and go.

But mother of god, the delicious beer they have up there.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

I live in St. Louis, Slow Ben. Maybe the next time you're through you can stop in for a beer on me. My wife works for Anheuser Busch, but there are more than enough craft stops around here to take in if the old standard isn't your game. I used to live in Eastern and Western Washington as well and i'll attest to missing the beer there. I hope you enjoyed your trip.

I am officially approaching the end of my first week post honeymoon and my new wife hasn't shown signs of wanting to smother me in my sleep. I am cautiously optimistic.

If your cat wasn't meant to fly, why wouldn't they make them bigger?

Sounds good. I'm a big Schlafly fan, but if it keeps you out of trouble with the mrs we can stick with bud.

And I've been married 4 years now and this is the best advice I can give you.

If you're in an argument with your wife, take a deep breath and ask yourself, would you rather be happy or right? Because you won't be both. Make the times you're right worth it.

I read that JJ said no after credits stuff. So I left before the end...

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

That prick who bought a bunch of pharma patents and then jacked up the prices of some critical cancer, and AIDS drugs (some by more than 5000%), has been arrested by the FBI on fraud charges.

Please FBI, make those charges stick.
