Dear Gus & Magnus,
Derek has a bad habit of spilling beverages on electronics. Got him again today, but the damage was minimal.
After having multiple people tell me they assumed I know Lindsey Millar (at the Arkansas Times) well and are probably friends, I decided to invite him to lunch out of the blue. So we had lunch today and talked about growing up in the Methodist Church -- he was a year ahead of me at Searcy, apparently -- and making a life as writers. It was a good lunch and I'm glad I reached out to him. I've learned that it pays to be the kind of person who initiates contact/friendships. It's rarely as awkward as you think it's going to be.
Dad.
Little Rock, Arkansas. 5.10.2018 - 8.56am.

Out of Balance
Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six sentence story based on the word BALANCE. I missed last week’s trying to do too many things in too little time, but I am back this week, working on NaNoWriMo, and that includes writing ALL the words!

now that it’s the siblings vs tomgreg i need a plot line where roman witnesses tomgreg do something tomgreg-like and assumes they are sleeping together since there’s no other possible explanation for what he saw and for him to form a plot to take them down that’s completely based on and reliant on the fact that they’re fucking and for the plan to completely fail because they simply are not

I have a gripe about the Star Trek mugs...
Picard's teacup is a delicate, fragile little thing held by a strip of plastic and a dream. That thin glass will break if you look at it sideways. And where do they put that ridiculous tiny cup? On the Enterprise, which is always being dragged into conflict
The DS9 raktajino mugs are hefty, wide-based things that are meant to not tip over. They're called no-spill mugs. They have a foam piece on the bottom so they don't slip. They're incredibly sturdy – meant for ships and traveling! Where do they put them? At the station, which is arguably the most stable place they could be cause DS9 rarely gets knocked about.
Far as I'm concerned, Janeway's the only one doing practical space mugs correctly. Come on, a metal travel mug that's as strong as her coffee is black? Takes a beating through 70,000 light years of bridge shakes fighting off the Borg and the Hirogen and still holds a hot drink? Now that's a space mug
