WHAT WOULD @Harriet DO?! 2x the delicious cake, 1/2x the obnoxious party guests

Mood. Weddings are a trap, at least in the states. Egregious amounts of money and work for an event you barely get to be present for. I don't have a vote on your life, but if I did, I'd vote you destination wedding somewhere fun and affordable, like Kungsleden. Just don't take any unplanned detours, there was a documentary or something in 2017, it went poorly. Gotta make sure your sentences don't return N/A#

Agree with you on my gut feeling about the two regions, but this very confusing site argues that the two inland sea's generate similar climates.

Art time and chocolate and lamb??? I'm behind on my Jarric worldbuilding, who is WW? Is this the person that you thought would be upset if your French poetry recitations yielded a pile of panties?

The SHADE!!! (I love it) This? Looks delicious. Big hug

Much commiseration. Is it cool if I bombard you with 3rd space suggestions to alleviate things? Very okay if troubleshooting isn't super helpful atm. Cobalt blue glass has been making me smile extra this spring!

I think if you become an island, you're legally obligated to drink more rum. And to complain about the British, while still vigorously participating in commonwealth institutions. 🤷‍♂️ Oof. No. Can I make you buy a pair of noise-cancelling headphones? They cost a bit, but they save your sanity. Why would you resist such perfect earrings????

It was on the second. I had a introvert birthday of cake and housemates only, but I'll do sushi and fancy coffee tasting on Friday with a few more people. Part of my WWHD? life plan.

Life updates (continued) I need to figure out a class name for this year. Usually I try and figure a fantasy cognate to any hobbies I have going on, with a heavy nod toward aesthetic conventions for class names from “The Wandering Inn.” Probably will end up with a class like, (noun 1) of (noun 2) and (noun 3). Noun 1 - Weaver (nicely mythic) - String-dancer (sounds like a kenning) - Raveler (a contranym, in that it contains the sense of both tangling/weaving, and untangling/unmaking) Noun 2 and Noun 3 - string - stone - chord - gem - filament - story - myth - steel Tattoo turns out tattoos close to the knee hurt, especially closer to the inner thigh. Manageable, but much sharper than expected. Outer thigh, above the IT band, that’s practically painless. 🤷‍♂️ Birthday Cake Danish bakeries are superior. It’s just facts.

Our slayer of the day comes from Dublin and is part of both team queer and team neuro-spicy. She has a fantastic tight ten, but having gone through much of her catalogue, it seems like that tight ten is the entirety of her material. Honest, no notes. Better a perfect short story than a tepid series of novels. Our slayer's tight ten, or 9:27 set, from the 2019 Up Late Comedy Fest Catherine commenting on mental health as she roasts a few audience members for 5:33 at the Soho Theater, as part of her special, "Immaculate." Odd. Funny in the aggregate but odd. A bizarre roast battle between today's slayer and her ex-girlfriend, Sarah Keyworth. 4:52 of awkward roasts between former lovers, but there's clearly still love between them. Odd, interesting, very odd.

Life Stuffs Birthday was lovely despite still being sick. Wore a mask and got the one tattoo as planned, pic posted below. Spent the rest of the day napping, playing Deadfire Archipelago, and watching golden girls. No notes. Tattoo means I'm on upper body only for the next two weeks, and no deadlift for the next four. Should be a bunch of push/pull splits. Doing the ballad of Jed Clampett for teacher Bob today and I'm nervous. Gotta keep fighting perfectionism.

ham, mmmmmmmm I love this for you!!!!!!! Mood. Monday days off are almost mandatory in the biz. If you find a helpful term to describe this feeling, please share. I know it very well. Fingers crossed for both of you.

Two weeks??? You need to commit some very justified homicide. Some people just came into town this past weekend to surprise Liam, but while they also invited themselves over, they got a f-ing hotel, because they're decent people.

In the states we call that particular customer service smile "a shit eating grin." Not sure if that one migrated north yet. I've been entertain an Ottawa family friend for the last few days and made me think of you several times. Bodies are a scam and finding clothes for bodies is a double scam. Fanfiction is chickensoup for the soul. Until you hit the Vore fanfiction. That is arsenic for the soul. Do you read progressive fantasy ever? The 'publish a chapter as it's written' progressive, not the 'women and minorities are treated like real people' progressive haha I know this feeling. It's like the feeling of weighing in heavier than last time, but there's no excuses to hide behind!! With a scale I can at least remind myself that muscle is heavier than fat and water weight fluctuations are healthy and normal. Speaking of progressive fantasy, I need you to read this series. There's a very Leigh character who performs magics to symmetrize people's limbs to allow for more efficient healing. The first chapter is free, then the first 50 chapters are missing since they were published as book one in the series on amazon. Doms is the worst.

Feels good to feel better. Just finished a sinus infection thingy myself and I'm praying it didn't slide into my lungs too! Congrats on getting some goals done while sick!!

I sorta like that your hair rebelled the day of your appointment, so at least the hairdresser can see what you're working with?? What do you use for your shopping lists? Anylist is great by me, but if you're an analogue shopping list human, I've seen some people collect fallen shopping lists from the grocery store and publish them as found poetry. Just kinda fun.

Worst april fools prank ever. 0/5 stars. Would not recommend.

What about coining an award to be granted at the close of every session, "the golden Leeroy", or something. Something to incentivize daring play??

Boo, repeat material is only funny when it slays. I love your decisiveness here. Please continue to be yourself. I didn't realize magnolia's can thrive that far north! They hate my region, but since I'm on lake Michigan, my best European climate comparator is supposed to be Ukraine's black sea region. Colour me interested!!

Need bad tv/movie recommendations?

Jessica Fostekew is a weightlifting slayer with an axe to grind re: body fascism. Written up in the Guardian recently under the title, "the joy of pecs", the queer comic takes a swing at our hellscape expectations of bodies, and she manages to bring a fair degree of rage into her humor. A brilliant woman with a background in the London School of Economics, her comedic persona launches into tongue tied stuttering truth blurts as she walks through her own life and growth. Not a woman to be taken lightly. Fostekew's 2019 13:12 set at the Apollo Her 2023 1:14:45 full special, "Wench". Long, well worth it. A 2:57 clip from Fostekew's 2022 special, "Hench" [No AI images today, every attempt made me sad lol] Slayer Training Lore Reading in bed by 11pm - 5x/week 🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲 Duolingo streak by noon - 7x/week 🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲 Meditation Ass on meditation pillow - 7x/week 🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲 Bodhrán meditation 3x/week 🔲🔲🔲 Strength Sunday was a rest day. Life Stuffs Sick and taking the rest of the day. Burned the candle a bit on both ends and caught a sinus infection thingy. Worth it, but now I'm paying the price. Celebration for the new PhD went well on Saturday and was surprisingly affordable. Liam's friends fought over who got to pay for him, so my purse strings stayed tied for the whole day. Highlight: the bar named "At Random." I hate bars, I love this bar. It primarily serves boozy ice cream drinks, and the interior is softly lit in red, with slow jazz playing throughout. Perfect environment for us anxiety enjoyers. Highlight: a very stoned shop proprietor at a queer-themed gift shop insisted the whole party pose for a marketing promo photo. Highlight: the used bookstore had a surfeit of secondhand small prints, including my favorite Spitzweg, "the Bookworm." Tomorrow I level up! Level 38 is looking excellent, I'll let you know how it feels once that ding hits at midnight.

GT = ??? I searched a bit and found this fun entry, but couldn't find a GT

Music and cookies, is there any better combo? I think you're legally obligated to murder that friend. I don't make the rules.

10/10 garlic feels like strength for me too. Did you ever treat tooth pain with garlic? What a punch and it'd burn away the infection for a bit. Congrats!!!!! Tattoos, piercings, and cochlear implants - modify your body to make your life better!!! Hehe, I am mentally five and I read that as "girlfriend sandwich."

Stay offline as long as you need. Sometimes primates need rest

I appreciate you and all the nerds here. Mood. I grew up outside of mainstream American culture and comedians often made me feel like I could use their observations to translate culture. I have a master list of slayers that I'm working through, and I can post it at the end of the challenge. I usually play comedy when I'm doing my bedtime routine at the bathroom sink; giggling with floss in my teeth, doing a spit take with mouthwash, that kind of thing.
