Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our wings are not tired.

The only method that worked for me was to pretty much tape every toe and the heel and ball of feet with sports tape. Not tight, but covered. Also, I had double socks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The grammar discussion taking place on Neil Gaiman's Twitter (started when someone tried to correct him on a point of grammar and was wrong), is in its second day, and I'm about to unfollow him. Apparently I only like to argue fine points of grammar with my friends -- watching other people do it is like nails on a chalkboard.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Finally got to see Infinity War last night. Now to try to catch up with things....

Because books.

Grammar is really not interesting for that long.

My brother and SiL have become huuuuuuge runners. They did a 59 miler last year, and his goal is to do a 100 mile marathon someday. I can't even fathom running down the block.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've got a whole bunch of photographs printed out and spread over the floor, and I keep staring at them, hoping that they'll arrange themselves into a coherent portfolio, somehow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've got a whole bunch of photographs printed out and spread over the floor, and I keep staring at them, hoping that they'll arrange themselves into a coherent portfolio, somehow.

It seems like it would be hard to assemble your own photos into a portfolio in the same way that it's hard for a writer to edit their own writing -- you're too close to it, because it's your own creative work.

That's exactly the problem, Steph.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I adore your photos, Tom. I wish I could offer some helpful suggestions on how to proceed.

Teppy, I feel your pain - literally - when it comes to the plantar fasciitis. I'm about ready to ask for a foot transplant.

Today was productive at least as far as getting plants in the ground or into planters goes.

Well, here's a first stab at a portfolio site.

Now I need are better project titles than "Color" and "B&W", and a domain name.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'm not sticking to my order of importance for tasks. I guess I am working from both ends instead of linearly on my list.

Now I need to :

take pics and list the things for sale - Done 3
label the storage bins
mop the kitchen/living room - did half
file the next pile of papers in living room

and if that gets done:

hang up clothes in bedroom
fold laundry & put away - did half
vacuum bedroom
