Much time has passed since the last time I visited this lovely site. I'm also an uncle now. He's one tiny lil grumpy bebe.
Yay! My first beta is going so well! I was worried, but with three reviews in, it's been positive feedback so far, some great suggestions and a couple of SPAG catches that prove you can never trust yourself to catch every comma or homophone, regardless of your acumen. (And how embarrassing if left for an agency intern to find, right?) So far, so good though. I'm stoked! If anyone else is interested in a short read for my picture book, I have a thread going under Collaborations.
A little chocolate a day keeps hunger pains away. Sorta. Not really, but it tastes good enough to make some bullshit excuse like I did.
TBH, while I do try and keep healthy and exercise and all that, I always remember the words of a texting dog in a Tumblr post: "I'd rather be fat and dead than thin and unhappy!"
Had a fairly well known pornstar come into the restauarant last night. Wish I'd known beforehand... I'd have given her a better table.
@matwoolf 's beloved avatar is back!!!! *Resists urge to hug puppet until it can't breathe* Also...Happiness Thread Part 2:You know that feeling when someone you really, really want to succeed is doing well, because it couldn't happen to a kinder person? Yeah, that.
I said "fairly" because I didn't know who she was but some of my servers did. Then I looked her up and saw she'd done a bunch of "work" with plenty of stars I would have recognized. Anywho... what do the rest of you do at work all day?
There's only one Rocco Siffredi - and that woman in her car, Fiona Bruce lookalike. Don't tell my wife.
FAVOURITES -Chap filming from his metallic stool? Beefcake rods his Daphne, and all naked of course, with no clothes. He uses an I-phone 7. Railway track, train circles in background (Hornby electric) -An elderly gentleman with his series, rather his member, that diverts shipping from the headland. I can watch that one on repeat. 3D. RNLI-approved. - Nudists farting [American, & subtitled 'Hey guys I met this girl on fukk in your city...'] -Educational 1979, explorers searching for the elusive [hoh] female organism [hoh] in the bush [hoh, hoh, involuntary fart], emmm..
After a rocky start, the new semester is underway, as is my diet. I haven't made much progress, but I do weight a little over a kilo less than I did on this date last year. I'd like to be losing weight overall, but at least I'm holding the line more or less.
My new mouse arrived, and I followed a friend's advice and actually customized its functions using its accompanying software rather than only using my computer's settings. OMG what a difference! I even set one of the buttons to mute my speakers. That's my favorite function so far, I think. ETA: The speaker mute button also controls "Previous" and "Next" on Spotify, which wasn't mentioned in the setup guide. Ooh, this is gonna be fun!!! Working at my desk: 100% improved!
Got to go see Chevelle, Three Days Grace, and Breaking Benjanin last night. Pretty good show, but Chevelle did a phenomenal job as the second act. Still as great as when I saw them ten years ago.
The other day, my mum had her first client who had found her on Google (presumably the others came through word-of-mouth). Turns out she couldn't help her, but today, the client delivered a bunch of roses and a lovely card saying that she hopes Mum gets good karma (tenfold, no less) and that she had restored the client's faith in humanity. What a lovely woman!
