In the immortal words of Genghis Khan: "U Wot M8?" -- RecklessPrudence
The Doctor slowly turned their head to glare at their new companion.
"What?" said Kylie.
"All of time and space. All of existence. All of... everything... and you take the first opportunity to tell a historically inaccurate joke."

There's just a few wood scraps waiting for their destiny in the skip. We got a majority of the sheer volumes of crap GONE.
Our yard no longer looks like a disaster zone. The patio concrete is firkin filthy, and that won't change any time soon. Sadly.
There's still mountains of Beloved's crap to deal with, but they're going to run out of excuses or get tired of my asking one day and just deal with it.
Or I could shove every

They called it Crestflare Bridge, and it had an unparallelled view of the Free Table Vendor area below. Tradition held that the tables would never have shaded covers. Because the females of assorted lizard species liked looking on the displaying males as they cruised between vendors.
Even now, centuries after the
Read more »The double volume of the new, bigger skip has eaten the rubbish from the carport, the rubbish from the patio, and the dead trampoline that managed to break our reciprocating saw.
There's still a few specks of scrattle from the carport. Specks that are a meter by two meters of plate metal and weigh more than I can lift...
They're specks compared to the sheer, enormous volume of the other shit, okay?

The habits of humans fascinated Zyrik. It was why she went into food services, so she could study them in an environment where she would be invisible. She made Time off her anthropology as well as bussing tables, but anthropology was her chief area of fascination.
This latest example was a freight trucker fresh off their rig, sitting down to a big plate of deep fried potato prisms. The plate was already loaded with the house gravy, but

Not that I'm enamoured of heavy lifting, per se, but I'd rather get the onerous stuff over with, you know?
But I have done my Instant first and I plan to nudge Beloved after I'm done with the advertising cycle.
Beloved's doing a three-day fast, starting yesterday. That's their pln. For the uninitiated, fasting

Didn't wanna organise the kids, but I organised them.
Didn't wanna get going, but I got going.
And now I don't wanna do the brat run, vinnies run, two hours of cleaning and unfucking, instant story, blast scheduling, one thousand words, and the Patreon stuff. But I gotta do it anyway.
This weekend promises to be some form of interesting. We have a bigger skip to fill and the shit scattered on the patio

Of all the dick moves that Wave of the Future performed, releasing a virus into the populations of Faiize had to be the worst. They did not, according to the press release, intend it to be deadly. Nobody believed them. The only proof, so far, was that none of the Faiize had died from it.
So far.
Rael couldn't rest in his tank for very long. He kept his home hothouse warm for comfort

I did get as far as some basic calculations using Quicktime and the time stamps and a lot of math. Today, I'll see how well that went.

Beware the old ones in a profession where one dies young -- RecklessPrudence
Fast reflexes, an almost preternatural awareness of one's surroundings, instincts like a knife blade. These are the things that make a good asteroid runner. Being able to get in, snag the asteroid, and get out without causing orbital upsets in one's wake is a skill that one only has to get wrong once for a life and a career to be over.
It's a job for the young and

Since they're doing poetry and rhyming, I was able to sell Steam Powered Giraffe to one of the teachers there. I might be making some more fans, sometime soon.
It'll be so much fun to have someone to nerd out with.
Today, for a change, I have nothing

All things considered, there are better ways to discover that life is merely a simulation and reality is a figment of some mystery coder's imagination. Regardless of the methods of discovery, it is quite a momentous reveal. And more than open to chaos.
For all that potential, there was nothing. Not darkness. Not light. No shape or colour. Not even static. The people were not falling. They were

Also getting medication.
After that, I have to find out what's happening with the skip, because the one that we got yesterday is already full.
And there's still literal piles of garbage in our yard.
I have no idea what we're going to do about that.
I am whittling down the things we're donating one load at a time during the brat run. If

"The second one," sighed Master Brubrik, "Does involve artificially crafted Lovecraftian horrors of medicine," she spared another glance at the thing on the slab. "Which of course means that you mean the latter of those two options."
