Gave my first interview as an author! If you're interested it can be found at www.gunghogeeks.com.

Nice shoutout to -among others - your dude Brandon Sanderson. A pity the interviewer didn't ask about your favourite book, Oathbringer.

Don't forget about us little folk when you're having naked money fights with hot fangirls.
Actually, that would be a very good time NOT to remember us little folk. Have at it then.

@Apt
Now I have a mental image of you aerobicising to Gaga's "Just Dance". "Disturbing" is one of the gentler terms I'd use.

Enjoy professional Maark whilst you can. He's not often around.

I mean I can't deny how influential Mistgood was to my stuff. Just a shame about Stormbad eh?

I wouldn't feel too bad. Sanderson wrote a bestseller novella in the time it took you to post that.

Also, congrats!

Just got a job offer. Might work out, which would be a huge relief.

Still no BK action but the neighbor likes her some white boys apparently according to my brother and she been double taking me when I’m outside shirtless so we ll see!

The real question is do you have your truck with you?!

[amphibian]

My first wedding anniversary is today. Been a weird year in terms of the world and somehow still a great year with her.

[Tiste Simeon]

Grats, Amph!

[Ain't_It_Just_]

My younger brother, ever a stubborn one, has started reading Gardens of the Moon.

SO IT BEGINS...

[Primateus]

I have begun working again!

12 hours a week, but still, it's a good feeling doing something productive again.

And it is good!

[Malankazooie]

Awwww shucky ducky! On the drive home the snow was flyin! Not sure if a lot is going to stick other then on grassy areas, but damn, I might have to get my snow shovel out and ready for some action tomorrow morning.

Got a job offer (also already bitched about it elsethread). On the whole, that's still better than nothing, so I'm cautiously optimistic. If I arrange it just right, I might actually finally get enough piece of mind back to become more productive again.

Take that summer! Fuck you! about a 1/2 ft. of snow fell last night. Didn't require any shoveling though, ground still too warm for it to stick to concrete and asphalt. The grass had a nice covering though. And the trees took a beating. They are still leafed out and so the branches were weighed down prominently to the point some look like they were going to snap.

Check out this craziness though: around the state, one city set a record high on Sunday @ 103°F, last night they had the earliest freeze ever recorded. And even wackier, in another town they set a record high and a record low on the same day and they got 13 1/2 inches of snow. Shit is craycray with this extreme weather, climate change/global warming going on. Like bizarre shit never before seen.

[Malankazooie]

Holy crap, a Rick Moranis sighting! Damn, I sometimes wondered whathappened to him and if he was happy. Growing up, we had the "Honey I" movieson pretty regular rotation, and they were a favorite of mine. I wondered ifhe was happy and content in retirement. He looks good, so this makes me happy. Leave it to that Canadian hunk Ryan Reynolds, to bring us this cheer.

I started working part time when I went back to work after maternity leave. Mondays off with the kid and then 4.5 days work condensed into 4 days. It probably made life harder than easier but I couldn't stomach a 20% paycut - I've got this big subconscious issue with financial independence. I assumed I would rearrange my work hours again when he went to school but with the pandemic and my recent health problems it just seems silly to try to control life via plans. So here I am, kid in school, partner on a rare foray into the office, no work. I'm properly alone for the first time in bloody ages. YIPEE!!

Just bought a new sofa.

We have been getting by on a hand me down (from my folks)(it's older than me). Now it was a decent sofa, years ago, and it isn't ratty in anyway, no rips or tears or anything like that on the cushions and materials, but damn it is uncomfortable. Like we sat on it for longer than usual yesterday, watched 2 EPs of the boys and a movie and my back is Killing me today. We actually went sofa shopping yesterday, literally the first one we looked at, we loved. Looks wise it's perfect for the apt, size wise is nearly to the cm what we were looking for. Hella comfy and as it's a display model a solid 30% knocked off the price.
We were debating going for a new one of the same, but the lead time is brutal, earliest would be Jan/Feb. So I said fuck it and went in this morning and dealt for it. It's getting delivered Thursday

I missed the chance to say 'grats when you first said you got married, Maccy old boy. Well done you. Now don't drive the poor lady mad.

Why else do you think she said yes in the first place?

An ooey gooey, warm, right out of the oven chocolate chip cookie to the first forum member who guesses what this is referencing.

[Morgoth]

God of War 5 I assume? I saw that image in the PS5 stream, and can't think of anything else it could be.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

Why do you say such hurtful things
