I agree, Ireth. The recent developments in ace "discourse" are frankly disturbing. They remind me of the efforts that were taken to deny inclusion to bisexual individuals mere decades ago, and trans individuals in more recent times. It's sad that even a group meant to provide inclusion for people excluded from the mainstream can behave in such an exclusionary manner.

I think nachos should be made with real melted cheese, not queso. It's important.

I've never had nachos with queso. Always real cheese. So yummy.

That's it. After several weeks of tomorrows creeping in that petty pace fro m day to day I have gotten my results back and I have passed the bar. Now to shell out some cash and take an oath and I will have achieved my first career dream of being an attorney.

W.P. Kinsella, author of Shoeless Joe (Which became "Feild of Dreams") lived and wrote in my hometown in British Columbia. I recently saw him speak at our tiny public library.

He passed away today aged 81.

RIP Kinsella.

I haven't drawn with my tablet in over two months. Let's see if my muscle memory has survived at all!

Broke my hand yesterday. It is apparently broken in the worst possible place, according to the doctor.

Because it is broken right at the place where the veins and nerves enter the hand, it hurts like hell. Feels like someone smashed my hand with a boulder and set it on fire afterwards.

At least I can type, although typing with the right hand is... weird.

 

[Ireth]

Sorry to hear that, Banten! I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

[Banten]

Thank you Ireth.

I suppose I at the very least have no excuse not to sit down and write for the next 2 months now.

Dang! How did it happen? If you don't mind me asking. Hope all goes well in the healing process.

I fell off my bike... and there might have been some alcohol involved.



Edit: I feel like I'm in a cheap soap opera, because my guinea pig just passed away as well. Poor little guy had been sick a month before, so I'm glad he made it this long, but it's still sad when they go.

Ah, well sorry for that and your guinea pig. I understand getting attached to little guys like him, I was distraught when my first bearded dragon passed away, lol.

Damn, Banten. I'm sorry about your hand and guinea pig!

So because I am an idiot I accidentally doubled the cake recipe for my kid's B-Day. So we made a full ball and head BB-8 cake. Since it was a ball we attached his candles to a stick and had them sticking out of the cake like in the BB-8 thumbs up scene. It took ten hours to complete and a nervous car ride to the grandparent's to celebrate but it sure was fun!

 

[Ireth]

That's fantastic! I bet the kids loved it!

Dude...that's why they say not to drink and drive. I had a similar incident in the past when I lived in downtown Anchorage, which is very easy to get around on a bike (towns in Alaska are spread out so this isn't the norm). Went out drinking and rode my bike on a summer evening and crashed into a stop sign on the way home. My bike slid into the intersection but I was able to grab a hold of the stop sign before a car hit me.

Yeah. I don't drink alcohol anymore.

Oh, they certainly did. My kid was very proud of it. As soon as we walked in he told his grandpa to look at the BB-8 cake. Still, it was a lot of work and I cursed my own name every few minutes. But it was so worth it. And it was delicious too! Cream cheese frosting FTW.

Jeez, that must have been scary. Mine wasn't as exciting. The chain was tangled up somehow and I fell after only a few meters. Turns out even dutch people can't ride bikes with their brain and their chain messed up.


...That probably did not sound as clever as it did in my head.
Well anyway, lesson learned.
