yamamanamaHa! Success. Fuck you, Teddy Beale! Fuck you, Shadowdancer Duskstar! Fuck you, Peter Grant! Fuck you, the rest of the Sad Puppies and Gurpgork movements! I have in my possession the Goblin Emperor, no thanks to the place I usually go, oddly enough. I also have Station Eleven, which is important because it looked awesome and not because #gurpgork bears any specific grudge against Emily St. John Mandel (filed under M as in Mancy).
Those books gave me so much trouble. I'm glad I finally found it. I had every intent on fulfilling my mission of "countering OpTorDrop." I didn't find Emma (Hungarian, not Swedish) either. Alas, if it must be so, so be it. Speaking of Emma, Shadowdancer accused me of stalking her because I guess I didn't call her before I got to the River Arts Festival and because I ate at the place she used to work. Also, Shadowdancer "proved" that I don't play video games because someone on Socks Make People Sexy compared playing an MMORPG to playing as only Kain in Final Fantasy IV, and it's probably even worse when you're the healer. Anyway, I've been gaming for longer than most gurpgorkers have been alive. I can't say that about Sad Puppies since Shadowdancer the Stalking Douchebag Duskstar is probably the youngest of the bunch.
Someone asked me if I could help her find something and I'm like "Sorry, I don't actually work here. I can't even find what I'm looking for." In fact, I was beginning to think that Amazon lied about the release date for Station Eleven and it was really being released in paperback some time in October, or perhaps never, like Luminous Chaos seems to be. No excuse for not having the Goblin Emperor. Ok, well, I guess if it's popular and they haven't restocked yet.
Cantus Arcticus (Concerto for Birds and Orchestra) by Rautavaara is beautiful, by the way.
A celebration of World Rat Day.
Courtney would like this. And so would Courtney. Or was it... god damn it.

Visitors from the future, let me know if you need me to upload those two PDFs. Try the Internet Archive if the link no longer works. Those of you reading in 2090, well, I'm sure things have fallen apart in my absence.
Holy shitsnacks, I've actually met one of the artists. I'm not going to name any names. I didn't see her, for what it's worth. That means she's not the artist of Winter Getaway, but that's all I'll tell you.
I thought take over-over take was painted bowling pins but they're actually stacks of container lids.
Lost Boys 1965 & 1865 reminds me of something I saw at the MFA in homage to the tsunami victims.
Double Cherry and Pear both have zippers on them.
Crystalline Curtain looks like it was taken while jumping up and down.
Portend is about an oil spill. It's not a ghostly frigate approaching through the mists.
That's the pope eating a cake on Susan Gilbert's work.
Seen Some Shit is hilarious.
Adrift was done with a knife. Also, the skiff has glitter on it. Also, there are supposedly fish hearts depicted.
Noberron reminds me of Starry Night. I'm not sure how this was done but it's cool.
I'm not sure which one was Luminous Lunaria. Maybe the one with lemons being held by ghostly hands. I don't know. I just sort of skimmed through it. I really don't have insights on everything.
Intonation looks like one of the artworks in Malory Archer's office. It's not huge and it's not hiding any monitors. As far as you know, anyway.
Coming And Going is really intricate. There are orcas and the Pieta and a horse in the background.
A peek inside the coloring book is even more vivid in real life. It's around this time where I decided I had enough of autocorrect and it's not entirely correct interpretations of what I'm trying to say.
Mommy Loves Me is a hole in the canvas with gloves reaching out. And a towel. I guess those hands belong to some hoopy froods.
I thought that was a goat with four horns.
Giant stone rosary.
Network 20 must be what Mondrian's veins look like.
There are kachinas in the auditorium and a giant bronze head of Martin Luther King, a maquette of Ethiopia emerging from a cocoon of mummy wrappings, a dance macabre, a medal made by an artist who studied under Auguste Rodin. I think the kachinas might be permanent.

Krissy says the last time she went to the Museum of Science was on a school field trip. I'm sure that's true for most of us. Well, except for me.
A woman had tattoo of a monarch butterfly and a rose against a smear of red and green on her arm, along with the Chinese logograph for friend (友, a left hand and a right hand) on the back of her neck.
burning question: Gurpgork In Paris was yesterday. Where's Kaiser Wilhelm when we need him?
