Well, Elijah Wood will never need to be paid meaningfully for anything ever again as long as he lives, so that probably helps...

there are two objectively correct choices for classic stories to give the Muppet treatment and they are a) Dracula and b) Pride and Prejudice

Also I really hope you're right about this being the year the AI bubble pops 👀

Right, yes, in person, I know you KNEW each other before then 😁

I HAVE seen that picture but I didn't know it was the first time you'd actually met! 😍

Amazing! And yeah, the one thing I do understand is there's no way to predict where it'll bounce when it bounces, so like I said, definitely in no way trying to question or slight your choices, just trying to understand a little! Thanks for replying,& well done. I've really enjoyed your Japan posts!

Alaska storytellers will speak to the American dream as The Moth's Mainstage tour kicks off in Anchorage The Moth brings 'American Dreams' to Anchorage, featuring two Alaska storytellers.

The Moth is an organization that promotes the art of storytelling through education, performance and other efforts.

...except the other one I need to talk to @skyladawn.ca about but that is NEXT MONTH'S PROBLEM. Or possibly April's. Later's, anyway. >.<

OTHER other work entailed catching up on EVEN MORE backlogged admin, which now puts me at...9 print books finally prepped for this month. I may yet make 12 if the other cover artist has time to do my much-delayed-in-getting-them-the-details wraps.

And then I think I'm Caught Up for print editions.

The very cute cover to Murphy Lawless's RENAISSANCE SHIFTERS BOX SET features the title surrounded by silhouetted bears, musical instruments, beers, and Renaissance-Fairey accoutrements. Cover art and design by Malice & Mayhem Book Covers. In OctoBEARfest, Bill Torben accidentally hires up-and-coming rock star Gwen Booker instead of jazz musician Gwendolyn Brooker, and he's never been so grateful for a mistake in his life! Now if they can navigate a path through love, music, and homebrew beer, together they might just get the family pub's Oktoberfest back on its feet! In PARTRIDGE IN A BEAR TREE, drummer Penny's life is one crisis after another until sensible, gorgeous Ashley Torben has everything Penny needs to sort things out again. It starts to look like they might have a clear path forward together—assuming they can survive their first Christmas with Ashley's huge, overwhelming family.... And in RENAISSANCE BEAR, Swordswoman Alis Capellas didn’t mean to live a double life as the Black Knight and a lady fair, but things got out of hand. Now she mostly enjoys her secret and is careful to maintain her cover—until she meets Jon Torben, and keeping secrets starts to feel less and less necessary. Usually careful with her heart, Alis is all in with this pub-owning minstrel!

Welcome to Renaissance, Colorado, where the grizzly #shifter Torben family find their #FatedMates as their lives weave in and out of the local Renaissance faire and the family's pub! #booksky #paranormalromance

The first 3 books are now available as a box set! www.amazon.com/dp/B0GKPDP8Q...

like obviously if you paid for your ten week trip to japan you're doing just fine, I'm just trying to understand a little how it works. :) A yes/no is enough, you don't have to explain it all to me, I'm just curious bc I don't know how it works. :)

This is not at all intended as a "you fool, you could have made more money!" sort of question, bc I don't understand the stock market at all, but if you don't mind answering: if, say, you'd waited another hour (or whatever) to close out & it had dropped 4%, *would* you have made more money?

Louise by Eugene Robert Richee, 1927.

Um, so I literally wrote this book.

Please buy my book. I have expensive hobbies.

it's unREAL

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Stef, a Black dude in a legally distinct White Sox hat and a denim vest covered in metal patches looks over in surprise at Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo who looks back way too smugly. Behind them, Tomás, their sleepy-eyed drummer smiles.

Denver's finally asked Daniel to rejoin the band. Sure, it took him 4 chapters, ambushing the guy at work, and what amounted to an accidental marriage proposal, but he's DONE IT.

'k. We've been getting them from Kells too but I'll try those ones next time. (The medium fluidity make unbelievable fudge, though.)

oh hey where do you get those chips bc we've only been able to get medium fluidity which are too soft for really good chocolate chip cookies!

Historically a lot of them would die in war and get wiped out of the gene pool that way. Surely an option where they could choose to become appealing partners is better than that...

I was almost annoyed at how CHEERFUL I was over the weekend when it brightened up. :hugs:

He has an awful cough, though, and laughed so hard he hurt himself, so he paid for his sins.

In his defense he meant to make me laugh but not to make me spit water all over everything. He'd been walking away as he started talking, then turned back with the funny line and by the time he realized I was mid-drink it was too late!

Augh. Of course. Augh.

Husband, relating the day to me: ...so your dad was sitting down here in his robe—

Me, taking a sip of water and listening—

Ted, extemporizing: —and oh, god, the horrors i've seen—

I made one futile attempt to save it & then just spat water ALL. OVER. THE FLOOR as I completely LOST IT 😂😂😂😂

this is SO EXCITING!!!!

the music from this is so good, guys, and omg omg omg!

Other Work entailed writing what turned out to be accidentally another 1100 words on a very silly little short story/snippet thingy so I basically hit 3k for the day which is pretty unexpected.

Fecking Chair Guy: hey, is dystopian a big part of your writing? here's an idea, AI agents debating with each other

me, before speaking. o O ( that's not an idea, there are literally reddit forums of that already, remember his wife is your hairdresser )

me, aloud: I won't be the one writing that
