They’ve toned down snow here for tomorrow…
…but we’re still getting it. Yay. Oh, well, we have Monday off anyway.
Just got back from a four-course dinner.
We paid quite a bit for that SCA feast, but it was absolutely worth it: we sat down for lunch at about 12:30 PM, and didn’t really leave the table until about 5 PM. In between we just kept getting fed, and fed, and fed. Everything was delicious, and the booze on the bottom floor was ridiculously top-shelf. They were the kind of drinks where you take a measured sipping cup’s worth of one, and then avoid it for the rest of the day because if you drink a second one you’re just going to drink five more.
In other words, I got to relax for most of the afternoon, and it was lovely.
Tweet of the Day, …How Charming edition.
As I said here: this is a feature of the system, not a bug. The major difference here is that the thief was unsubtle in his larceny.

Just spent an hour trying to generate a Facebook ad.
You’d think Facebook would make this easy. Or easier. Or actually possible. Go sign up for the Backerkit, okay?
The pilot episode to The Promised Land.
I clicked on it with quite a bit of trepidation, but The Promised Land is good! Fun without being disrespectful. They definitely know their Bible, too.
Check out this interview for more details, and check out the pilot, too.
Just put up a poll on Patreon (anybody can take it)…
…on what my next art print should be. The options are one of my three Fermi Resolution novels, or the maps I had made. I probably should have added the cover for GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND, but the Fermi Resolution books are easily the biggest sellers.
Go take the pool!

Quote of the Day, It Fits The HELLDIVERS 2 Aesthetic edition.
Not likely to happen, but the thought made me laugh:
During a recent discussion in the Helldivers 2 Discord, Jorjani responded to a fan fan-casting Chris Pratt as a Bile Titan by saying: “We’re all hoping for as many A-list actors as possible. As long as they all get killed violently immediately.”
The thing, though? If the cameos are short enough, you could afford a lot of them. Like, a lot a-lot. I could see somebody doing a gory death in HELLDIVERS 2 for scale, just for the fun of it.

Early bedtime.
Today and yesterday were full of issues; hopefully tomorrow will have fewer of them. In either case, I kind of have the Sleep Madness. Time to hit the hay.
