And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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.

Compassionately intolerant

"Well, just follow along as best you can."
The story of my life. I crochet because I couldn't get anyone to teach me to knit with anything but 'just do it backwards'.

I tried it, and it worked just fine!
I use that method to do non-dominant handwriting for cognitive exercising. It's remarkable how legible it is!

I describe it as 'sticks and balls', drawing the letter shapes rather than writing words. It always surprises me how it isn't even slower.

I should start practicing handwriting again. I tried switching to cursive writing (because I have nice fountain pens and shimmery inks, including a Dracula one), but ended up going back to my, erm, idiosyncratic semi-printing.

I just had the termination conversation with my now ex-employee. It went as well as I could have hoped for, probably because he was in shock. Ugh, I didn't want things to come to this, but it is what it is. Next up, the meeting with my team to give them the news.

My boss, who is awesome, has told me that I WILL take an hour off after that to decompress, no don't argue this, Jillian.

For the record, my letter to JZ was written with a mix of inks - Dracula and Bloody Absinthe. Because I embrace my cliches.

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

Ugh, Tumblr, noooooo.

Is Tumblr being weird about uploading images? I just tried to post one and it wouldn't do it.

I got hit with the redesign. Somehow worse in practice than it looked in the screenshots I saw.

Oh, it's horrible. And I would pay them monthly if they gave me the chance to permanently turn off Tumblr Live.

Same. It's sooooo bad.

Also same.

I would pay to nuke Tumblr live, OMG.

Mine was whatever fucking green I have in the Narwhal/Navalurh. Might be Vinta Parol. Think that's it. I have been loading up at the free table at Pen Club lately.

If you see shimmery inks on the free table at Pen Club, think of me.
