I sold my drum set. I'm a little sad to see it go, but I never found the time to play them.

My history teacher was complaining about people using AI to write reports. I told him that was why I want to teach Hema. You can't chatGPT your way out of a sword fight.

Button studied sword and buckler too hard. Fell asleep.

I am going to make a lasagna for dinner tonight.

If crows invented weapons, what would they look like?

Do you have a particular source you prefer?

I have started reading up on sword and buckler techniques, because that's what most of the larp group want more practice with

It went really well! Everyone was nice and trying their best, I didn't stumble over my words too much, and once we went back to larp scenarios people were really working to put what I showed them into practice.

I won this hoodie at a pole dancing contest last summer. They finally delivered it.

The class went really well and it was such a rewarding feeling to see people trying to use what I taught them.

I'd like to think at least a few of them became better fencers tonight.

First time teaching #hema to a group today. I'm so nervous.

I would absolutely purchase the game for full price if it had the star power of JoCat voice acting in it.

This homemade #singlestick guard was a lot more work than I expected, but it works so well.

In my dream last night, I was taking pictures of interesting bugs to show my wife.

I was very distraught when I woke up and didn't have any photos to send her.

It's confirmed that I will be teaching a group how to sword fight on Thursday! I am so excited!

My art history project is going to be a report on the art of MS.1.33. That means my entire semester is based around different Hema books.

I managed to recreate the McDonald's big arch sauce!

I won the tournament I mentioned last week. First place in the sword and buckler category.

I fought and won in a sword and buckler tournament, so I think that qualifies.

I won the sword and buckler tournament the local larp group put on.

I got 238/300 on my art history midterm!

Okay, so the first real sign of getting older just happened. The weather is causing my thumb to hurt in a way it only ever did after a hand snipe at tournaments.

I guess I know what joints I'll start complaining about in five years.

I don't do any role playing with them, they're just the closest thing I have to regular sword practice until I can open my own club for it.

I'm doing pretty good. Tonight is a friend's birthday party and tomorrow I might be fighting in a tournament hosted by a local larp group.

My first thought was a praying mantis. My second thought is that I should probably unpack why that was my first thought.

The coolest thing I saw in Venice was a sword with a bronze woman for the hilt. I might try getting one made with a statue of my wife.

I didn't intend for this to be the case, but I am reading the Vampire the Masquerade core rulebook and realizing my vtuber model really fits in clan Gangrel.

That's why I prefer historical fencing drama. Even at the worst times they only stab you in the front.
