That's impressive.
Definitely.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hivemind help needed for my rusty Spanish:
"We're English" would be "Somos ingleses," right? And do I need any accent marks?

For me, it's about posing them and playing with them and making them fight and have conflict and creating more and more narrative and yes, putting them on top of each other. I'm not judging. Anybody can be put on top of anybody, that's the beauty of my shows.
I bought a sheep at Archie McPhee for Spike and Giles to share.
This may be more about my action figure habits than anyone wanted to know, but I think the sheep is still wearing Giles's sombrero.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
but I think the sheep is still wearing Giles's sombrero.
The sheep needs to be smoking a cigarette.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
the crappy way I was holding it
Part of this might be due to the shape of the grip and the shape of your hand. Glocks have fat grips, and I have small hands, and I always found myself trying to choke them to death because my grip felt insecure. Sigs were better, but my favorite fit is still the old 1911 Colt.
What distances and positions did you try?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My elbows were too far out, and my arms too rigid. I have a really hard time relaxing my shoulders these days.
The stance was isoceles, right foot slightly forward, feet wider than shoulder width apart, shoulders further forward than my hips, but square to the target. Arms almost fully extended, right cupping over the left.
It did fit my hand reasonably decently. My arms were the problem.

I like .22s and 9mm. .45's are just too big for my hands for me to feel comfortable controlling them with that much kick.

Then I started losing sensation in my toes.
I'm assuming you were barefoot. But did you get gloves?
Just back from friends' wedding in Ladera Heights. It was beautiful and eclectic. There was a white grand piano, a string quartet, a jazz trio, lots of singing and a belly dancer.

Nope. But my fingers were mobile enough that it wasn't a problem.
You know, I think I really like wetsuits. They're pretty cool. I could just get one for lounging.
The wedding sounds really lovely.

It was. The groom wrote the bride a song and performed (did I mention he's the music teacher at my previous school)?
I saw the woman who subbed for me while we were in New Zealand. She is now 38 weeks pregnant and beautiful. She had on a minidress (!!) and looked amazing.
Her husband works for a film advertisting agency. They do previews/trailers and occasionally the graphics and special effects for opening credits. In fact, the company for which he works did the whole Batman Begins campaign. NEAT JOB!
