A commission I did a few years ago, and underestimated the time and A3 piece would take to paint. That was instructive.

I hate to say it, but I don't think the benzodiazepines are interfering negatively with my drawing ability. I'm way less worried about getting it "right", and instead just focus on what I'm fiddling with at that moment.

Drawn this evening during our weekly Neoclassical Geek Revival game.

“We are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”

This comes from an interview with Kurt Vonnegut. I’ve loved it for 20 years and you might too.

“I work at home, and if I wanted to, I could have a computer right by my bed, and I’d never have to leave it. But I use a typewriter, and afterward I mark up the pages with a pencil. Then I call up this woman named Carol out in Woodstock and say, “Are you still doing typing?” Sure she is, and her husband is trying to track bluebirds out there and not having much luck, and so we chitchat back and forth, and I say, “Okay, I’ll send you the pages.”

Then I go down the steps and my wife calls, “Where are you going?” “Well,” I say, “I’m going to buy an envelope.” And she says, “You’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in the closet.” And I say, “Hush.”

So I go to this newsstand across the street where they sell magazines and lottery tickets and stationery. I have to get in line because there are people buying candy and all that sort of thing, and I talk to them. The woman behind the counter has a jewel between her eyes, and when it’s my turn, I ask her if there have been any big winners lately.

I get my envelope and seal it up and go to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of Forty-seventh Street and Second Avenue, where I’m secretly in love with the woman behind the counter. I keep absolutely poker-faced; I never let her know how I feel about her. One time I had my pocket picked in there and got to meet a cop and tell him about it.

Anyway, I address the envelope to Carol in Woodstock. I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home.

And I’ve had a hell of a good time. I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”

ok the #DungeonsandDragons movie did NOT have to go as hard as it did!!! it felt like a good representation of what playing a game of D&D is like while also having some genuinely touching character moments. the humor was never too much, it got a lot of real laughs out of me! very silly and i cried afterwards!

completely unreasonable and i had a great time 10/10. #HonorAmongThieves

Also Fat Dragon gives me life

Gotta say, I didn't go in with any expectations and I really enjoyed the new D&D movie!

It felt like a fun summer movie that doesn't take itself seriously, but which also had some surprisingly resonant character arcs snuck in there

There is a terrific path dependency/lock-in study to be done on how people continue to use Twitter despite the simply bizarre machinations of its owner. I mean, he's now running a crypto promote scheme via the company's logo. Imagine yourself a year ago writing on a card a list of things that would constitute the "last straw", things that would make you leave Twitter, then imagine how many of those things, or their equivalent, he has already done. It's a fascinating study in human behavior.
It is unbelievably funny to me that bosses using pizza parties to placate angry workers dates back to the Bronze Age.
