Write Every Day Day 9

I hear you, Ray, I hear you. Too bad about me having that day job.... but today it was the eclipse getting in my way. That was worth it, we had over 90% totality here so it was cool. In spite of that I wrote one upper level anatomy test and I wrote 1640 words to finish the second of my getyourwordsout yahtzee stories so good day on the 8th

Please let me know what day you're logging in for.

Tally: Day 8 china_shop, badly_knitted, luzula, cmk418, sanguinity, chanter1944, cmk418, ysilme,yasaman,

I'm not sure what's happening

But in a week I've had TWO insulin pens go missing from my purse. Today it might have gone under the car seat but I didn't see it and I have no idea where the other one is. These things are like 100$ each. I think I need to take one to work and just leave it there right now.

I did get a laugh out of one of my students who - upon looking at the kidney stuff and listening to me (as I mention where we've heard this stuff before all the time) - sighed, 'you never get to forget anything in this class.' No sweetpea, you don't.

Fannish 50 and hey it's not about Hazbin Hotel or Critical Role this time. By chance, digging around for easy reads to end into the Gallipolis library's spring reading drawings (which has awesome raffle gifts) I found a graphic novel called Once and Future by Kieron Gillen (author) and Dan Mora (Illustrator) and I'm rather blown away by this.

It has deep British roots especially in the Arthurian legend and it imagines what Buffy would be at 70. Bridgette is a lovely curmudgeon and a bad ass monster fighter. Her hapless grandson, Duncan, has no clue about the woman who raised him. And they are swept up in the craziness of someone trying to bring back Arthurian (who was much more a Breton king and not accepting of others so this will work well in diverse UK)

The story telling is fast pace and exciting. The art...wow, THIS is what all sequential art should be like, well drawn, expressionate, someone knows what a human body looks look, this is what is missing from American comics for too long.

It's from Boom! For too long I wasted money/time on their mediocre Buffyverse stuff that they rebooted every few 9 months or so and in the meantime they had this and Something Is Killing the Kids. Boy did I back the wrong horse.
