Punching Metal

Punching Metal

Knight believes in victory more than she believes in sportsmanship.

I’m no boxing expert, but I’d say wearing plate armor is probably cheating. But Pirate’s not known for her good decision-making abilities.

My point with all this is that there’s the honorable way to win, and there’s the practical way to win. I’m with practical.

Kitty Snack

Kitty Snack

Cute is not edible!

I’d like to share my thoughts on morality here for a moment. We all know that eating cats and dogs is wrong and only takes place in China. (Except that it doesn’t, by and large. But that’s the stereotype.)

But Pirate’s a barbarian. She learned to survive by herself, and doesn’t understand society’s rules. If she has to live, she’ll eat even bugs. So why shouldn’t she eat cats? My answer: they’re too cute. You can have a dog buffet, but leave cats alone.

Stupid Snow

Stupid Snow

If you can’t see your car, it’s a snow day.

There’s…a lot of snow outside right now. Winter weather advisory, all that good stuff. I might make it to work, and then again…

Anyways, I’m getting tired of snow. It was nice at first but shoveling it gets old really fast. Oh for the days when I was too young for work.

Stick Oscars

Stick Oscars

My vote is for the rock.

You know, I don’t watch the Oscars. I don’t even really care about them — mainly because I haven’t watched many movies recently. But when I heard about the controversy involving all white actors I thought…Stick-Oscars. Who would you vote for?

I personally like Mr. Crag’s performance in 2143 Years a Rock.

Sad Stars

Sad Stars

They do sort of take the magic out of the moment, don’t they?

It occurs to me that I haven’t seen the stars in a long time. I mean real stars: shooting stars, the kind of stars that you can only see on mountaintops and when the pollution is gone. It’s because I work in the early morning and have to sleep early, but it’s also because I don’t look up enough.

Going to have to spend a few nights outside. Sans the stick people, though.

Toll Troubles

Toll Troubles

Just wait until she falls asleep.

Toll booths are the only reason why I keep my change. That, and to buy overpriced soda when I’m on the road. Anyways, Pirate could probably extort a few quarters from stick-people going to work.

I’m also taking one of the great Jane Austen’s quotes and misusing it. I feel bad about that.

Singleminded Shopping

Singleminded Shopping

Apples are all you need in life!

Do you have a set list of foods you always buy from the grocery store? I do. There’s always a core of items I’ll buy no matter what: apples, orange juice, rice, soy sauce…I’m sure I should have more variety, but I like what I like.

Still, an all-apple diet probably means you’ll die of malnutrition. Just saying.

Dark Preperations

Dark Preparations

You’ll need to bring lots of luck.

Video game references ahoy! If you don’t play Dark Souls, you’ll have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m talking about Dark Souls. 3. It’s probably one of my favorite games of all time — dark, epic, challenging and mysterious.

Too bad my current computer won’t be able to run it. Guess I’ve got to save up for a new computer and drawing tablet. Money sucks.
