What if you stored the incriminating documents in the tank? That might not cause a clog.
IDK
I meant regarding Black Panther characters. They haven't shown up much yet.

It was not particularly difficult or dangerous. He wanted to have them up there so he could work on the walls. Have you noticed that most of the dome walls are covered in boards? These are those boards. They are light and a good length for passing from the 1st to the 2nd floor.

It's a bit out of the way if traffic is bad to Edina. It's like talking to a pleasant doctor-type person who is supposed to listen to you and ask you questions. But if the doctor-type person had a solid hour devoted to you, no matter what you wanted to talk about. She is a little more into affirmation than I would like, but it's fine.

In case of tank-related emergencies. Because I don't own any camo pants? Pockets.

Looks like they are not providing much/any food. I might get lunches on my own Saturday and Sunday. How much of the conference are you planning to attend?

Have I mentioned I'm back into wrestling? Jared showed me Lucha Underground on Netflix. I'm 20-some episodes in. The assisted lifts I mean wrestling moves are awesome. Johnny Mundo's pants are unnecessarily attractive.

They would probably no longer be incriminating once they've been in there a while. So that's a plus.
You do know you're fully in control of which characters appear when, right? Unless you were specifically linking the characters introduced in different phases to different weyrs or something.

I kind of assumed that the board situation had stabilized. Like, yes, the rest of the walls were supposed to get covered, but it wasn't going to happen in my lifetime. I'm not sure how I feel about that changing.

Have you told her to stop with the affirmation? You are sufficiently firm.
Isn't it weird having someone really focused on you for a whole hour? Isn't that uncomfortable?

Not having something is an insufficient reason to acquire it. I don't have camo pants, and you don't see me buying any. Are they at least incredibly comfy?

I'm not sure how much I want to attend. There are some things, like the workshops, that I strongly feel I shouldn't attend because I'm not paying to be there. Other things I'm not sure how relevant they would be to me.
Don't worry about food. I went mad with power at the Kroger. I will feed you.

Good. I didn't realize Lucha Underground was on Netflix, but now I need to watch it, too. Are the bouts all scripted, or is some of it improvised, like in the WWE?

Everybody wins! Unless they clog the intake or interfere with the plunger. Then nobody wins.
I already decided where most of the major characters are. They are there for a reason. It's just nobodies who haven't been assigned yet. Like Namor.

Sorry. Hope springs eternal. Technology marches on. Etc. Expect lots of sawdust the next time you come home.

No. It feels like an odd thing to ask. "Please stop saying nice things about me for no reason."
Not really. It's like having a conversation with someone who is good at acting interested in you. Besides, it's how I expect a therapist to act, so it feels normal.
I wish I could say none of my expectations about therapists were influenced by watching Hannibal. Not only can I not say that, but it's actually fairly realistic. Except for the murder.

It's not my fault you don't want camo pants. They're pretty good, although I suspect they're men's pants that made their way into the women's section by mistake. Roomy in the wrong ways, you know.

Might as well come to the lightning talks and poster session, at least. Learning is fun. If you're worried, you could always ask somebody involved with organizing if it would be alright for you to sit in on a workshop. They might not even be full.
I will not bring any money, then. Except gas money. And toll money. Filthy tolls.

I'm not sure, but Jared suspects it is a mix of both. A lot of the lucha-derived lifts and jumps look like they need some practice to be safe, and sometimes it looks like somebody messed up and their opponent is waiting for them to get back into position. "Hurry up and move so I can jump on you," or "I will now react to the hit you failed to deliver." Jared suggested they might rely on beats for some of the less important fights.

No need for the displeased emails. You'll get what you paid for. Eventually. In highly unedited format.

Aaaaaaaaah I read your story and it's still so good why did you try to keep it from me? I am DEEPLY MOVED by Hulth's success. I want her to get even more bigger and have even more babies.
Tony's dialogue sounds exactly like you when you're in gnome-mode. Did you do this on purpose? I read it and I'm like, yup, that's Mercha talking.
Bruce now totally comes across as aro/ace.
There's so much plot now. Where did all this plot come from? How long did you outline this to be?

Lucha Underground comes off as significantly more choreographed than most of the WWE I've seen. Which fits with its production values, I guess. Why didn't you tell me there's like 400 episodes? I didn't realize I was signing my entire life away to wresting. Queer Eye is coming out in a week, and I don't want to be distracted.

If someone were to email you pictures they made and ask for "option 1 or option 2" type opinions, would you be prepared to offer an artistic appraisal? Asking for a friend.

I apologize for the delayed response. In my defense, field work is icky.

I EDITED IT. IT WAS NOT SO GOOD BEFORE.
I just tried to make someone who is talkative and sort of rude. I can't help it if that is also me.
Good.
The plot was coming all along. I tried to follow the first Pern story pretty closely. So there is about that much plot, but with the time travel shenanigans moved forward. It's longer than I wanted it to be.

I will read your stories as soon as I have free time. Today is not that day. But they are sitting in places of honor in my inbox, I assure you.

You could have checked how many episodes there are. It would have been easy. And there's a new season starting in about 0 days. You'll have to make the tough decisions re: wrestling vs. Queer Eye by yourself now.

I am always ready for judgement. Or appraisal. Call it whatever you want.

Are you now, by extension, icky?

I have no proof of this. Evidence continues to accumulate that everything you type is made out of gold, rainbows, and QUALITY CONTENT.
Ah, yes, indeed, "talkative and rude". That's you. Everyone who's ever met you would describe you thus.
I clearly have not read the first Pern story in many years, because I didn't recognize the similarities. To be fair, I never finished reading the first Pern story. Is Thanos playing the part of some particular Pern person? Is everyone playing the part of some particular Pern person?

Good news! You never have to read my stories if you don't feel like it/don't have time/want to read something else instead! You are free.

I could not have checked before we started watching. You were in control. You roped me in before I had any power in this engagement.

Today I made a grave miscalculation while jogging. I was coming up a small hill, and saw that the person jogging ahead of me was going slower than I was. Of course, this made me HYPED, so I got my groove on and scooted myself right past that guy, feeling like an incredible boss the whole way. Then, it struck me that I could not honorably slow down or stop now that I've passed this guy unless I wanted to look like a tool, and I had just jogged past the place where I usually walk to catch my breath at the top of the hill. I was trapped. It was hell. I thought I was going to die. By the time I got to the sprint at the end of my jog, I felt like I was being stabbed.

I was pretty icky. I'm not sure the car will ever recover. But that's normal.

Wow. How does my monitor translate gold, rainbows and QUALITY CONTENT into normal type? It's higher tech than I thought.
I don't act like a gnome for other people. Only immediate family. You're welcome.
It's not really one-to-one, but I have all of the main bits represented. I guess you need to know the original pretty well to see the similarities. Thanos and his past counterpart get to share being Fax (the bad Holder guy), but you never meet the past guy, so it's essentially just him. Except that he gets to live beyond the first couple of chapters.

Too late. Stayed up late to read the first one already. Very good, 10/10 Conans, would recommend. I liked that it was firmly in the style of S&S but also clearly a modern take on the tropes. The barbarian was my favorite. If I could think of even one outlet for this type of fiction, I would suggest you submit it somewhere. Was inspired to write an old-timey style intro for your old-timey style anthology, which does not exist.

You didn't need to keep watching. Dad rejected the wrestling. It is possible.

You were punished for your hubris? Don't get to say that very often. Revel in it. Or, since you survived, incorporate it into your jogs from now on. You weren't pushing yourself enough.

Didn't you install some sort of widgit for that? The gold-rainbows-QUALITY-to-text converter? It should be listed under your Applications folder.
I know that you keep the gnome hidden inside. It's small, so it fits. But the gnome is very powerful. Do you gnome for your students?
Yeah, I guess I don't remember anything. So I get to live spoiler-free! Yay! Now write the rest so I can read it. Do it, or I'll turn into one of those annoying commenters who demands more content by continually harassing the author. Or is that already me?

The barbarian is also my favorite. I had that story in mind before most of the others.
Now that you've read all of my work, my commitment to this mortal plane is broken. Farewell. It is time for me to fade away.

Dad has bad taste. We don't consider him an example of valid media decisions.
What episode are you on? Are things with Vampiro happening yet? I attempted to not make that a spoiler, but sorry if that's a spoiler. I'm almost done with the season.

I will not be incorporating it into my jogs. I'm not in this for massive gains. Modest gains are acceptable. Today my ever-longer jog took me to a public park that has a water fountain, and my day got significantly better.

I probably installed it somewhere stupid by mistake.
Gnoming in public is frowned upon. I try to be enthusiastic but normal around students.
Maybe I'll write the rest of mine if you write the rest of yours. Maybe. You know I'm more annoying than you are, so give it your best shot.

Why are all of your stories about bugs? I read the #2 story as well. Also very good. I didn't notice any of the plot holes. I spent most of the beginning wanting to hit the protagonist with a rolled up newspaper, though. But the ending sucked because it DIDN'T EXIST.
Did you intend for your story to be a big tract on arranged marriage? Is this one of those times where the reader sees themes that the author didn't mean to put in? Might want to embrace it and find a beta reader who comes from an arranged marriage background. It also reminded me a lot of Spirited Away, in a good and not derivative way.

I suppose. He liked the Expanse a lot sooner than I would have bothered to keep watching it. I hate intrigue.
27? I can't remember how many I watched last night. Drago left. Some people beat each other up. Don't worry, I already spoiled myself that something would happen with Vampiro. Managed to keep it sort of vague.

If only you had jogged there earlier, you could have had so many more better days. Massive gains are always the goal! But sometimes we accept mediocre gains anyway.

What on earth does "enthusiastic but normal" look like on you? I cannot even imagine it.
But you already outlined the rest of yours, right? So it should be trivial to write. Yes.

I... have a weird thing about bugs? I guess? I didn't notice the bug fixation. I am so self-conscious now. I think those are the only two stories with bugs that I've ever written. I swear it's not a pattern.
The protagonist gets all of her most annoying qualities from me. That person you want to hit with a newspaper? That's me. Do you think I should tone her down in the beginning? I wanted it to be a character-growth sort of thing, but if she's off-putting, maybe I should change it. And, uh, as for the ending... I have another 50000 words of this story from this April, with only the epilogue unwritten. But it's worse than that part, so I don't really want to give it to you.
Holy crap, no, that was not intended at all. No. Why. I was teetering on the edge of not including the marriage at all, or making it a strictly background event. I was not even thinking about arranged marriages, except that I wanted to portray them as a normal and positive part of the setting.
Well, this has revealed a lot about what I accidentally produce when I try to write long-form fiction. Perhaps I need to re-assess my method if so many things are happening that I did not intend.

Oh, you're at the part where people beat each other up. That was a good/mediocre/bad part.
I honestly can't even tell what the quality of this show is. I guess I don't like how often they use some specific plot elements? Like person-you-think-is-your-friend-interrupts-match-to-beat-you-up. Overdone.

It's been so humid here that sweat doesn't even evaporate. Jogging sucks. I suck. How massive do gains have to be, anyway? How long does it take to go from being unfit to fit?
