The Great Cosmic Question of Our Time

Life has gotten away with me. When I'm not busy doing something fruitful, like painting or planning the district primary activity (which was last Saturday and a big hit with the kids, or so I'm told) and YW camp, I'm busy playing this online game that I recently discovered. It is a slightly modernized text based rpg that is ridiculously big and somewhat stupid. Apparently there is no accounting for taste, because I love to play it, for it has loads of treasure. That right there is enough for me, but it gets even better. If you come across another player on the 500x500 space map, you can steal all their gold and silver. Yarr, the equation do be simple:

Treasure chests + pillaging = my kind of game. XD

On that note, I suppose, regarding the great cosmic question of the interwebs, Pirates vs. Ninjas: Which Is Better?, I would ultimately have to side with the pirates.

Sorry ninjas.

Mirror Lake

I finally finished my first oil painting. The picture hardly does it justice (if I do say so myself, and I do), but I can hardly scan it, so picture it is. I think it looks much better from farther away. I guess that was Monet's excuse too.


My next painting is a seascape, which is turning out to have the most beautiful colours ever. I wish I had brought my camera to my last lesson, so I could have taken a picture of it in its primeval state, but alas, I forgot my camera, as per usual.

Worry not, Dear Readers, for you shall see pictures of it soon enough. You have not escaped my art spamming so easily.
