Now tagless for your comfort.

When I was 10 my parents were grasped by a 1960’s ideal of self-sufficiency. Then moved us to a small farm, planted a huge garden, and started raising pigs, cattle, and chickens for food. We kids gave the animals fanciful names like Buttercup, Heathcliff, and Pansy.

My uncle bought a cow to raise when we were kids. His daughter named her and babied her and when the time came for slaughter--well...no freakin' way that was going to happen. My uncle had to go out and buy some old, tough cow for their winter meat supply and I swear their pet cow lived to be a ripe, old age.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some years ago they were.

ETA: Not since '79, though.

I meant, as in not from St. Louis. Like how I'm still from Jamaica, although I left shortly after the Jazz went north.

So wait, are the movies of skits for dayjob work or your krav work?

If dayjob, what kind of movie are you making about your workplace where hitting is necessary?!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

ita, are you playing the thug in a "don't assault your coworkers" training film?

The skits are dayjob -- the krav stuff is just filming classes.

If dayjob, what kind of movie are you making about your workplace where hitting is necessary?!

Well, it was the least actingish thing they could have asked -- it's a meeting, and the guy sitting next to me says "Gentlemen..." and I smack his arm, and he retools his address. Perfectly in character, have done many times before. Except the guy I hit usually whines about it.

And then the cameraman's all "You were good with the hitting!" Stop!

Would it have been more fun if it were "You were good with the hitting! Stop! Stop!"?

Did you tell him it needed more whining to be realistic?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's been a very long time since I was this glad it's friday.

What are people doing this weekend?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I need to take my car for an oil change and clean and probably do some laundry so that I can head out of town on Sunday.

Yeah. "Usually people cry when I hit them -- if you don't trust his acting, I can make it for real."

This weekend? Sleep, krav, commitment ceremony, at least one movie.
