incandescensSpent a while this evening preparing magnets for the "Lark in the Park" event on Saturday. Was then cheered up by coming to my computer (finally) and finding that someone had bought another one of my sets of fridge magnets on Etsy. That is encouraging.
In other news: hot. And getting hotter, by all accounts. Yes, yes, I know, wimpy England, poor air conditioning standards. But still.

Zamira Drakasha, leaping across the gap between burning ships with twin sabers in hand to kick in some fucking heads and sail off into the sunset with her toddlers in her arms and a hold full of plundered goods, is a wish-fulfillment fantasy from hell. I offer her up on a silver platter with a fucking bow on top; I hope she amuses and delights. In my fictional world, opportunities for butt-kicking do not cease merely because one isn’t a beautiful teenager or a muscle-wrapped font of testosterone. In my fictional universe, the main characters are a fat ugly guy and a skinny forgettable guy, with a supporting cast that includes “SBF, 41, nonsmoker, 2 children, buccaneer of no fixed abode, seeks unescorted merchant for light boarding, heavy plunder."
