Uuu, my brain is revving ....

Raining!

OMG, it's raining! I think this is the first rain of the season! can't remember when was the last time it actually rained. We've been watering the trees we've planted for days now. I know fire warning has been in effect all March and now April. Now the trees will explode in green and meadows will jump up like a tidal wave. oh, I love the smell and sound of rain. Missed you, soaky suffer.

I decided to start another Etsy shop. Digital design this time, so as to avoid all the fucking mailing costs. I am sure this will bring its own array of horror, but I am bored and miss the ka-chinging. I'll tell you all about it soon. It's called ... wait for it ... Slow INKER!

How intense :P

"So you just threw a napkin on a football field and solved it?"

Love it how neither G nor I know how to boil an egg. He told me to get some hardboiled eggs for tomorrow's brunch when we'll be planting trees above the vineyard. How long does it have to boil? Do I put it in cold or boiling water? "Just figure it out."

Literally had to google it to learn. I think that shit is right between how to operate a spoon and how does a light switch work.

As I probably mentioned a thousand times by now, our bed is elevated and huge, as G is huge. He sleeps with a large pillow and very large puffy duvet. I sleep with a small hard pillow and a tiny thin blankie, because as gravity would have it, he creates a basin and I just roll mostly under him and he's very warm. So, leaving the bed, he's (as he tends to in warmer seasons and it's getting warm now) bunched the duvet and sleeps hugging it and as I was leaving to go walk the dog, he mumbled he's cold. I put my blankie on his shoulder and he said: So, you just threw a napkin on a football field and solved it?

:D

Too cute. Hunky hunk.

SOooo much money was promised ...

... but you mean to say that NURSES, POST-OFFICE workers, POLICE and FIRE DEPT. and food providers WON'T be getting 60% smaller bills to pay for March and a bonus raise for the time spent on the front line after all? Only politicians? I'm so shocked!

"Yoo can't make us stay inside, this is 'Muhrika!"

Am I cruel for knowing - on April 12th, that American declaration of crisis apex is going to bite them in the ass? 

Or is it just that the reason why I can't watch the news is because news like these make my blood boil?

I am the sort of a person who would register a PornHub account just so that I could critique the quality of the videos posted. 

World's most famous politician gives the finger to World Health Organization

It really makes me wonder what WHO actually does, to be honest. I know they pretend to be the world's number one health provider to those who need stuff, except of course they don't really have all that many supplies for those who can't afford them, and they are supposed to be the leading authority on giving answers. Which they do or do not provide. Telling people masks and gloves don't work was a genius idea in my opinion. Even after it was evident non-symptomatic carriers are spreading the virus. 

So, just to be clear ... They want more money and politicians have started to tell them to go fuck themselves. In the meanwhile, they

- don't have authority to declare and then exercise a state of a pandemic, not only on a planetary level, not on the continent level, not on country level - in the end, each city region can make their own decisions as best as their majors think

- the don't have supplies, makeshift hospitals, factories for making necessary equipment, even printers for making shit - when in need, every country and region has to make their own 

- they are led by a Marxist Ethiopian with monetary ties to China

- they won't be the ones to find the cure as labs who have nothing o do with them will likely find it much faster

- they don't have power over politicians or any kind of plan and they completely ignore economic sides of crises, 

- they have no strategy in case of a global pandemic

- they are doing what, exactly, these days? Sitting in meetings, going over numbers? Asking for more money? Where is their spokesperson giving clear and daily reports? Where is an authority figure leading in times of need and uncertainty? 

Diablo III, The Flayed

By far the most horrific sights in a game build of horrific sights, is a chamber the General reached once and I never got as far, until now. It is halfway to Hell and while you circle down, there are these flayed, chained behemoths, still alive, trapped, suffering in anguish. I don't know whom or what they are, but they seem evil even in their torment. I should probably check, though. Like, who comes up with this shit? What are their instructions? Build me a path that will give players nightmares for years?

uh. Update: Oh, yeah, I know now what they are. see, if you look closer, that entire structure is covered in skin which still seems alive sometimes, full of putrid boils and greasy hair patches and scar tissue. The behemoths are where that skin comes from.

Good times.
