You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh bonny, I wanted to say that I share your enjoyment of Live at Daryl's House. He just seems so happy!

Lunch or grading... lunch or grading...?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Lunch!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Lunch. Then grade. Or paint your nails.

I'm dogsitting this weekend, I just have to note that two times the dogs = two times as much dog fart. Ewww.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dishes are washed, bathroom is clean (except I haven't mopped). Now I need to go to the store.

Still no minion.

This is my favorite part.

I'm aspiring to figure out how I can live a life with so much fun/joy.

Of course, without the 40 years of touring (though he seems to love that too), and battling egos.

It probably helps if you have enough money to not need to worry about it, as he clearly does, and if you can arrange your life so that you get to spend most of your time doing things that you love. Not that I begrudge him any of that, esp since he has the good sense to be happy about it.

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

It's way more practical to have the nurse come in the afternoon, but until I get used to the rhythm (I could get used to the rhythm!) this bit now, with the wait and the headache...gonna take some getting used to.

Today is day #23 of #30 of my sketch challenge, and I'm looking at my deviantArt stats. Before this all started, the picture I had that had gotten the most favourites was the one I did after taking a few months of art class, and in it I was bringing to bear everything I could remember from the class. It was painstaking, without pain. Very considered, though, in terms of focus and composition and leading the eye.

So it felt nice that other people liked it too.

So far in this month of quick sketches, though, I have one with more favourites than that, 64 in less than a month, compared to 54 in almost a year. And another, in this same less than a month, with 50 to the previous leader's 54. So there goes my entire reward for deliberation--I'm having a lot of fun with these sketches, and people liking them is always gratifying, but it really makes it clear that if I tried to manipulate an audience to get popular, all else being equal (these are all pictures of the same pairing) I would have no idea what works. I thought I'd cracked it.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE, DAMMIT.

In other things you're very curious about, I don't think this muffin recipe is necessarily the one. Cakelike batter, but with restricted mixing? I'm definitely hitting clumps of dry flour that I hadn't with the pineapple raisin carrot batter, with less folding.

And I'm also thinking that cranberry oatmeal isn't enough flavouring. Most of the recipes also had nuts, but I don't want nuts. Need to work out what the magical third ingredient should be.

Don't we all?

Hmmm, will seeds be too close to nuts? Because cranberry and oatmeal isn't enough but I feel like you need to add something with a bit of substance and that's fruit, a substantial grain, seeds or nuts in my head. And you've got fruit, grain and don't want nuts. So seeds?

Our wings are not tired.

I'll be able to retire with no house payment and (hopefully) no car payment.

That is awesome, Zen!

Live at Daryl's House

Quite enjoyable, thanks! I know I had seen it at some point in time, but I had forgotten it existed.

Caramel chips! Well, that would be yummy to me anyway.
