What Are You Doing?

Getting milk. Presumably French milk.

 

Heavens to Betsy, hopefully not while posting! Although, from the spelling it's either really good or really painful.

Good luck.

 

I am debating on totally rewriting what I wrote or just adding to it. I have decided my MC’s roommate is not Jacob but Dexter.

 

Used to be able to access it ok. Changed laptops and now can't get on at all. Maybe I'll try my tablet. thanks anyway

 

Isn't he the lead singer of Rush?

 

I thought he was referring to Gedding Lait, the small, French milk producers based in the village of Gedding in Suffolk County.

 

There's a story there somewhere. The sinister Dexter (ha ha! Get it?) murders Jacob and disguises himself to look like him. He then moves into your MC's apartment and assumes Jacob's life, along with his huge inheritance... Sort of like The Talented Mr. Dexter.

 

You may want to get it an arm or two, but...

 

Watching Amazing World of Gumball. Lol, my sister got me hooked on it one afternoon when I visited her in the hospital and she and the other kids were watching it.
Now, I got my husband watching it and all its chaotic weirdness!

 

I love that show, and it's on Netflix! The only problem I have is when I binge it, because it's a kids' show it defaults back to Japanese dubs with each new episode so I have to go and reset it again. Very first world whinge, I know.

 

I didn't know Netflix has it. I watch it on Hulu lol. It's great!

 

Could be Japanese Netflix, sometimes the licensing agreements get a little complicated internationally.

 

Yeah, the differences between countries is pretty wild. Indonesia has almost a quarter of what America has, when I was over there. Japan was a lot more Japan-centric in style of content, naturally. I find Europe to be nearly identical to the US in that respect.

 

I am watching Peter Han (not Pan!) on youtube and learning how to draw.

 

Which ones have you watched? Did they encourage you?

 

I went to Canada once and Netflix Canada had the movie, Loving, about the interracial couple in Virginia. Couldn't watch it then because I didn't have the time, but when I crossed the border back into the US and tried to find it....Netflix USA didn't have it. I was a bit miffed.

 

Sipping coffee, cleaning up after Goatee (Bearded Dragon buddy) and listening to music. Today is study day, so it's almost time to hit the books. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Update on the guy who got hit on the head: Dude didn't even remember coming to work. Doctors are keeping him for three days, then he's getting that month off. Head injuries are a pain in the, well, head. Remember: Sledgehammers are only used on concrete, walls and people who have crossed the Don and need to be dealt with.

 

Thought it was bolt cutters and a blow-torch.

 

If that's the case, are you sure it's safe to fire the guy that hit him?

 

I'm at work, struggling not to look at the clock yet again, only to realize that the minute hand has barely moved. Just 7 1/2 hrs to go. Ugh

 

Hahaha. We already have Tommy to deal with the....issues. Paul digs the holes. No need for another.

Still, the other guy, though stupid, did make a mistake. In all truth, I'm a big softy when it comes to these things. Guy has a family, kids an all. Couldn't sleep at night knowing they'd go hungry cause of his mistake that I fired him for. So, while he is fired, I sent him to a security training program. With his Osha and a security license, my partner has a position at another site for him. He'll have a new, far more boring job by next week.

No touching sledgehammers though.

 

Dynamic Sketching 2 with Peter Han. He is at a show drawing the dwarf and boar. I liked it as he talks fast, draws fast. Not a word wasted and he is a true creative. Other videos are slower but more explanatory and probably more useful. I do graphics anyway but I should really use my wacom tablet a bit more.

 

Sitting in my favorite coffee shop, with a mug of dark coffee and a quite stale scone -- the last one left. Ordinarily I'd be at the gym, but I awoke with what I think is a slight shin sprint, and decided to lay off for a couple days. Lay off formal gym stuff, I mean -- I spent a good chunk of the morning breaking up ice at the end of our driveway.

Hoping to finally get into some serious writing -- my Graham family roots keep calling me, for a semi-factual story. I have traced them all the way back to the Debatable Lands in Scotland, from whence they were forcibly deported to Ireland for being "malefactors." Then they went off to America, Virginia USA, to Tick Creek Kentucky, then to Indiana -- where the patriarch founded a Presbyterian church -- then to Iowa then to Kansas and the my particular branch headed a ways up North with its own back story. There's the Scottish angle, the Indian wars angle, Civil War angle, and all the joys and perils of homesteading in the US. You'd think it would write itself, but it obviously needs some coaxing.

 

Beer, Sofa, YouTube. In that order.
