Happy Friday to all of you. It's a "day off" for me and I've already been busy planning out my day and printing out the paperwork I'll need. I'll get my grocery shopping done, then settle down and get some work done on my next Etsy group. I also need to proofread my 8mm crystal cubes one last time and set those to "active" on my Etsy pages.

I love Tuna - I love fish in general, but Salmon and Tuna are my favorites. My co-op had some lovely Tuna when I was shopping there on Wednesday, so I picked up a beautiful steak for my dinner tonight. I have the perfect marinade recipe for it, and it'll broil up quickly. |
I have a fabulous tuna steak to cook for my dinner tonight, and an excellent marinade for it, so I'll put that together and bag it to soak in that deliciousness for a few hours. Yummy! I generally do fish on Fridays during Lent because DH prefers it (and I have no problem with that - I adore fish). He's a Catholic who never goes to church, but he keeps Lenten food guidelines. I'm a Jew who never goes to synagogue, but I acknowledge the various holidays (Passover is Easter weekend this year - that doesn't always happen). I don't actually keep them, but I at least acknowledge them. When push comes to shove, I'm quite happily pagan.

I don't really follow any particular spiritual pathway, but I'm most certainly not a follower in the more traditional religious ways. I'm pagan only because there really isn't a good term for what I believe. But I don't really celebrate the pagan holidays any more than the Christian or Jewish ones. I just feel that sometimes there is a larger something. But I'm not going to place it in a category or assign it a name. It's enough to acknowledge it. |
Tomorrow is the deadline for the latest group of stories to be posted to LJ Idol. I turned mine in days ago, and many of you have had the opportunity to read my dragon fairy tale. I've gotten a lot of very positive comments, and thank all of you for the good feelings and strokes. I even acquired a couple of new LJ friends through it, so this story was a total win. The voting will take place after submissions are ended, and then we'll get our next prompt. I suspect it will be released around the 18th of the month, give or take a couple of days. I can hardly wait - I'm having a lot of fun writing to prompts again. It's always been the best part of writing - catching that theme or moving events within a tale so that they all fall into line with the requirement of a specific word or idea.

I love watching "BattleBots". Yesterday. starting at 11:00 am, they went through the entire field of 32 semi-final matches leading up to the final eight last night. I had it on the TV at work for most of the day (the TV is in the back room, I don't watch it, I listen to it). After 2:00 pm I switched over to golf because ... The Masters! Couldn't miss that. |
The finals of this season's "BattleBots" was last night. DH was so furious at the decision in the semi-final match, freeing "Witch Doctor" from entrapment under a piece of stage equipment, that he left the room and refused to watch the final match between "Witch Doctor" and "Tantrum". I, however, watched it all. I wasn't 100% in favor of the semi-final decision that "Witch Doctor" won their match, but the final bout between the two robots was awesome. "Tantrum" absolutely dominated the bout and totally earned the "Giant Nut" (think hexagonal nut such as would go over a screw, not nut such as would fall from a tree). It was great to have an audience again, after last year's restricted competition during Covid, and the show is back to being the awesome and fun show it can be. Call me happy, in general. I'm already looking forward to next season.

I love watching The Masters golf tournament every year. I associate it with Spring, and there are many years when looking at the greens of Augusta are a reminder that Spring is coming when I'm looking out of my own windows and only seeing the snow of winter. Fortunately, it seems like we're having an early Spring ourselves this year, and even though our grass isn't green, it's also not white - LOL. We're far away from having flowers, though, and Augusta has wonderful hollyhocks and other flowers to delight me. |
So, on that rather silly note, I'm out of here. I have a lot to do today, and I want to get my Shire Conqueror module loaded so that I am walking from the Shire to Bree ASAP. I'm still walking the Great Wall in China, but Conqueror allows you to work on more than one quest at a time (except the LOTR quests have to be done in order). I hope all of you have a wonderful Friday and I'll be back tomorrow. Peace!
