Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hanging curtains naked. Never mind the potato...why hang curtains naked?
Tom, I hope the doctor can help you feel better asap. CJ has had a horrible cough all week. We have had to reschedule a dentist appointment twice so far cause he wouldn't make it through without hacking up a lung.

He's an exhibitionist and there was a potato outside?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
why hang curtains naked?
It was the best excuse he could think of on short notice?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I too was caught up in "Why hang curtains naked? Isn't the point of curtains to keep people from seeing you naked?" Sometimes I clean the tub while naked, but that's about as far as I go with naked household chores.
Presumably, he would have spent some time trying to remove the potato himself. He should have devoted some of that time to coming up with a better story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So actually, only law enforcement and 911 job applicants get asked for Facebook passwords, pretty much. But the reporter had a feeling it was more widespread! [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, but if I were in the ER when these cases come in I'd be unable to avoid pointing out to the patients that perfectly good devices designed for safe anal stimulation can be bought from a variety of adult-themed retailers.
Or at least use a cucumber, for fuck's sake.
Moral: never be naked around vegetables.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't use a cucumber. They don't flare out, they taper in, and they too can get lost.
Jilli, where is the sterling silver or pewter version of this, the bracelet on the right with the claws? They must be easy to find, no?
somebody (Matt?) suggested gesture drawing - I'd also suggest drawing with something looser: charcoal, brush and ink - it forces you to loosen up.
I had intended to shift to a much darker pencil (went in armed up to 8B), but because the paper was so toothy, ended up at 2B anyway. It felt fairly expressive, but when I pulled back, it felt clinical again. I have too many conflicting goals in my head--too many people I want to draw like, and it's not helping. I need to work on one thing at a time. We'll see what next week's exercise is, and what medium I might be able to use on that.
I'm definitely not confident enough to haul out the brush for anything that's not a T-shirt.

ION, this study is depressing:
Physics Students Reveal Bias for Male Lecturers
Male and female actors gave physics lectures to college students. All students thought the males were more knowledgeable. And whereas female students gave a a slight nod to women teachers, male students thought male teachers were vastly better.
