I’m home from retreat and SO VERY TIRED, although I think a lot of that is having spent a lot of time standing outside in the weather on the way home, and also the bed was hard as a rock, which didn’t make for awesome sleeps. I ended up with about 22K, which is Not Very Damn Much by my retreat standards, but I did finish the second section of the book (it came in at like…42.5k, or something, out of what was supposed to be a 60K book, please…
Picoreview: Wicked (both acts): not bad, but way, way, WAY too long I have avoided the musical Wicked in all its formats because I hated the book with a deep and committed loathing, but many people I trust told me repeatedly that the stage show/movie is only barely based on the book. That, frankly, was not enough, last year, to commit myself to a 2 hour, 40 minute first act film of a stage show that is in and of itself only 2 hours and 30 minutes long. However, the…
Somerset awakens, as previously mentioned, in a sodden basement with Edward Gavigan lingering nearby. Somerset: Eddie, old boy. I suppose you’re going to kill me now.

We are of a certain class, after all. Gavigan: Obviously. Gentlemen, and all. He offers…
Aight, this wraps up my Udemy course, which, weirdly enough, I started one year ago today. Even if I hadn’t started doing this project, I’d still drawn more in the past year than I had in MANY MANY years, so all by itself that’s pretty satisfying, but this project means I’ve finished it, after buying it EIGHT YEARS AGO, and that I still have about thirty hours of practice in front of me. I thought the bricks turned out pretty cool in that one, and I’m informed the skull is…
yeah i know this is very niche and also childish and also by the time this posts i’ll be over it, but i don’t CARE, i’m PISSED at PokémonGo. PoGo is not a well-balanced game. Has not, traditionally been. It started with 40 levels, went to 50 after 4 or 5 years, and the grind to get from 40 to 50 was incredibly difficult, way way way too hard. You needed 5 million XP to get to level 40. You needed 176 million to get to level 50. Plus a…
