---and then that's when Vladimir Zelensky himself drove me back home from Disney Land.

Wait, the server was down? Boogers. Well, It'll be in my next novel. I'll tell that story there.

We are rapidly and quickly losing the battle in the US for trans rights on the Federal Level. We must protect them on the state level where they're still protected, and fight all the way down to the local level if necessary. If only to buy time to get more people to safety.

@reay - let me know how it comes out!

[Thoughts Before Bed]

With paychecks looking to be starting in mid March, I'm looking forward to cooking fancy pants meals again. I'm looking forward to trying Three Cups Chicken: https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/three-cup-chicken/

Quick question for a friend looking for long-form blogging options (that I'd be interested in as well).

We're looking for something akin to a modern day Livejournal or Dreamwidth. I'd rather not create a Livejournal (it's dead and Russian owned) or Dreamwidth (It's mostly dead). Preferably free.

Jenn's day:

Noon - Wake Up
12:01PM-12:36AM - TWELVE HOURS OF BUSY

Milley isn't there to stop it this time. It's getting kind of scary for us out there.

"Andrea Banking Towards a Mountain." Drew this for the comic way back in 2013. Very poignant for my last few weeks.

Easy open box my Aunt Fanny.

I made this batch with lard instead of shortening. They're not as good....

@mxtiffanyleigh Sounds like an opportunity! :D

Hey, all! Some fun ST:TMP related news!

As you may know, I'm a fan of Movie Archaeology, digging into early drafts of movies. ST:TMP got me started in that, and was the subject of my first comparison page of all the drafts and movies, which you can see here: http://dolari.net/startrek/tmp/index.html

What CAN'T you see? The actual scripts (unless you ask real nice). Mainly because I can't afford the bandwidth for some of these scripts to be downloaded. However, the folks over at Forgotten Trek have made some of the scripts I have available for reading!

Read Phillip Kaufman's "Star Trek: Treatment for the Motion Picture " (a last ditch attempt to keep Star Trek: Planet of the Titans afloat) here: https://forgottentrek.com/phase-2/planet-of-the-titans-the-film-that-wasnt/

Read both Harold Livingston's Rough Draft and Gene Roddenberry's Second Draft of "In Thy Image" here: https://forgottentrek.com/phase-2/in-thy-image (The Rough Draft was written for the proposed TV show, and the Second Draft was written as the production was moving towards Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

I do have other drafts of the movie, which aren't hosted online right now, but if you'd like to read them, let me know.

So I bought some frozen samosas and it came with mint and tamarind chutney. Love the stuff. But I was wondering...the very first Indian restaurant I went to in State College, PA, had TOMATO chutney. It was REALLY REALLY good. I've never seen it anywhere but that one restaurant.

I need to learn to make that cause it was really good.

Protip: When baking food, remember to put the food IN the oven.

i can cook gud

Where I am NOW....
