Today's DnD Character Colouring Book is a companion piece to last week's mentors for my current character. This is Sindri, son of Craftmistress Ulla, and Hali's best friend. Technically also his first friend. And the first gnome he never met.
He originally had a very different design, but I wasn't necessarily vibing with that. Plus he's kind of my Emergency Backup Character if the worst should happen in these last few games. Because, honestly, I can't be bothered pivoting to a whole new class. A new subclass I can handle, especially as I don't know that I'll be coming back to the Artificer well any time soon.
Also pictured is his Homunculus Servant, Bubble. As in "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble". Because I never quite got to the place where it made sense to have one on Hali.
Anyway...
This week I attempted a pasta salad recipe. And it mostly worked. It's just that the Greek yoghurt dressing kind of needed a) more actual dressing and b) a flavor other than Greek yoghurt. The idea is definitely sound... although it probably needs some refining to get it to a point where it really works for me. But it's better having two different options than making the same thing all Salad Season.
I also finished my crochet project... snek amigurumi for the win. I named him Henry Spofford III... from a minor character in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, for no real reason. It just seemed to fit in the moment. Plus it's fun to say.
I do need to take some photos of everything I've stumbled my way through this year, since I really haven't been doing that. And before I give things to people at Christmas. So there might be spam at some point.
Also... just as a general "Fuck My Life"... it says something when you tear up the roof of your mouth on the pointy part of a peach pit. That something is nothing good. But it says it anyway.
The Mini Media Reviews for this week are Over the Garden Wall, which I did not care for at all. I found the characters annoying and the storyline weird and random for the sake of being weird and random. Mostly I was just bored by it. By the time it got to the "reveal" at the end of 8th episode, I could not have cared less.
The other mini review is for The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan, the first half of a two-parter (the other half is on it's way, although it might take a minute). And it's the first Musketeers movie I've seen that is actually French. Also, they made D'Artagnan hot, they made the King of France hot and they made Porthos bisexual. What's not to love. But it's very good. It's a little "we set a movie in the past so everything is brown" that you often get with this type of film, but otherwise it was excellent.
This week was slightly strange, as the second to last week in November generally is... because it was the Norwood Christmas Pageant today. Which means that the way to the supermarket is terribly convoluted. So like in previous years, shopping got moved to Friday morning instead.
Which meant that, unlike a normal Saturday morning, I decided to go my Friday morning walk, had Friday morning breakfast and then did Saturday morning shopping with Ma. Which, as always, threw off my brain for the rest of the day. And then because it was going to be quite hot, I sent Ma home relatively early.
Friday Night DnD was relatively short and sweet. Annoyingly the drive there and back wasn't, because just like last week there were roadworks on the very direct route which meant that we had to take the very indirect route along a road I fucking hate driving on, even at 11:30pm. But the game itself was okay.
Anyway...
Today was... nothing. I slept it. I made breakfast. I pottered about. T'was good.
