I am inordinately pleased with myself for this.
(This is the tailgate of my car, open, with ~0.5 mm of clearance between it and the wall of the parking garage).

@independentpen@mas.to Yeah, I'm still feeling my way into that world. For now, I'm thinking this character's soundtrack will most likely be either "anything with Karl Denson," something with Alan Evens, or Snarky Puppy.

I don't get angry when I'm hungry so much as grumpy.

So, if:

hungry+angry=hangry

Does:

hungry+grumpy=humpy?

Because if so, I may need to rethink a few things.

I need a soundtrack for working on this book.

The protagonist in my first novel was basically me, so I used a local jazz group I love.

This dude is a developer at a big tech firm with a philosophy degree. He's also +/- 20 years my junior, so I'm at loose ends.

Any suggestions for something mellow, instrumental, maybe with a good repetitive bass line...but that won't drive my middle-age Deadhead brain to distraction?

Catching up on a channel I follow on YT and was forced to watch an add for Terminix. The tagline was "They eat house," and I was a bit taken aback.
I love it!
When great copy lands, it LANDS.

Especially when it's selling bug spray.

Watching The Repair Shop.

They just took in a vintage Wyvern fountain pen.

The pen expert said, "I'll have to address the cracked rubber sack and floppy lever" and I can't stop snickering.

I watch waaayyy too many British panel shows.

Time for a drop from the list of amazing band names:

* Manhole Smoke
* Unleash the Stink
* Terminal Sump
* A Coalition of Buffoons
* Basal Conglomerate

And, of course, a few names for that first epic double concept album:

* An envelope full of beard hair
* The time I got my finger stuck in a bowling ball
* the fractal nature of your mediocrity
* It’s like the higgs boson of food
* I’ve already sorted myself out, thanks

@Cosmosis @VeroniqueB99 Tom Bihn is the maker, though since he retired and sold the company I don't think they still use this tag. At least my two Bihns don't have it.

Hey writers and fellow Fedi-creatives, I need recommendations if you have a moment.

I need an artist who can do a sigil for me. I've got the design in mind, I just can't draw.

Trying to find my focus on this WIP and hoping having this image in front of me will help as it will be a huge part of the plot.

I can pay, just not much as I'm still mostly unemployed.

Boosts and/or additional hashtags for reach are also much appreciated!
