Someone did. His name is Brandon Sanderson. 75% of the book was about sucking on these while the other 25% was about people in ball gowns moping. It ruled pretty hard.

I have a mental image now of someone fellating a hewn, iron dingus. Cheers, worry.

That's the design on my checks! (cheques)

Misread as 'cheeks' and had a mental image of your bearing the brand of the parrot archie on your face, sort of like Karsa.

I don't know who the parrot Archie is, unless you mean one of these two:

Two missing parrot Archies within weeks though? Seems pretty suspicious.

You know, the pet autopsy. The park autarchy. That thing which is, like, well oppressive'n'stuff.

Ohhhh you mean when dear ol dad is so scared his daughter is a sexual being that he legislates that women generally should be forced to have invasive medical procedures as part of their family planning (http://thinkprogress...es-under-radar/).

I do have tats of that on my cheeks, but it's the butt. Left butt cheek says "It's just their imagination, bro" and the right buttock quotes former Pennsylvania Governor Corbett's advice to women: "You just have to close your eyes".

Is this really what is making you happy right now, Worry?

[worry]

Yes, I find conversations with Maark to be engaging, fun, and funny. He's a right bloody poffle of a bloke, in my estimation, even if we disagree sometimes.

[worry]

Chronic pain is so intimidating. You gotta feel really proud about that.

Crap I posted in Groove thread by mistake:

2015 has been a great yr for me cutting down my pain pill intake. It feels and looks great having two full bottles of xtra hidden in my closet from ex.

How much for one of those?

S-senpai! It's not like I WANTED you to notice me!




Onto matters brightening my day: Managed to persuade my sister to speak with my dad again (they'd had some form of tiff or another). Hopefully she'll be coming to his 60th soon.

Reading all about tea-staining paper and different ways of doing it - thinking of incorporating this into my maps in future, because it's the hand shading I don't enjoy so much when it's for a full map. If I could find a colour/depth I'm happy with, I can just get on with the fun ink side of map making - woo!

Finally, finally, FINALLY..... Star Wars!

My roof-falling mate's brother (who is also one of my mates, incidentally), posted that the silly sausage is doing better. Still under sedation for now and still healing from all the injuries he sustained. They're hoping to wake him up soon - hoping that he's cogent considering the local news report said 'life changing head injury' which to me (mother dearest is an ex CCU/ICU nurse) says brain damage of some form. Hopefully it'd just be something fixable like a jaw fracture or something that won't impact too badly like one eye being gone (because if you still got one then you can see... no coming back from severe brain damage).

Also realised I'm 90% done with my novel. I have maybe eight chapters to finish for a total of 25-50 pages. If I apply myself I can finish it in two months or so. From there, compile the manuscript, edit for continuity and then the first drafts can go out to the initial proofreaders.

Thought you already lit your stump on fire earlier with that pain cream?

I thought you got to look at planets and stars earlier with that pain cream?

Walked past a diner while I was out shopping. There was this frail, wizened old guy sitting outside the diner reading a book. Walking apparatus, a cane, just a very old looking guy. I wouldn't really have thought any more of it but I noticed how wrapped up he looked in the book he was reading. His eyes were wide open, book held high as he was clearly gripped by what ever events he was reading about.

The book? He was half way through a very tattered copy of Gardens of the Moon.

It made me happy.

He probably thinks he could take Baruk any day of the week

Who would win in a fight between Snape and Cowl?

Cowl. Snape would start whining about "feelings" and Cowl wouldn't give him the time of day.
