Save those millions? The next President has to live inside that house and preferably not be vomiting every single day because that just sounds inefficient. There is no possible scenario I can imagine where I'd move into that place with all that fucking fake gold in it. Keep in mind most other Presidents have been human beings with some semblance of taste and the accompanying gag reflex.

    Pretty much any interaction with the comment box creates highlights between two words. No matter how you tap, it's nearly impossible to just have one single cursor. Sometimes it'll shrink to a single space, but that's about it, and it's been like this quite a while.

    Typing this post, I'm able to just tap and move the cursor, but if this were a comment, it would create a highlight between where it is, and where I tapped next, every time.

     

    This is an update to Chapter 1 of short-ish original Doctor Who story I'm writing. Or trying to, at least. I'd love some opinions on whether or not I'm capturing the energy of the show in a kind of novel-form. The general pace of everything will come down a bit in coming chapters.

    I have it up as a Speechify above which will narrate it, or a PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DO6ZoDWImaaAiaj8P1TUeukzXm6GbP5-/view?usp=drive_link

    The LP came with the CD, and today may very well be its first time played. Not that I'd ever sell this, but the black version is about $350 on eBay.

    Also in the bounty: Descendants - Hellraker Live, which I have no recollection buying, but no one else in my family would have; Ramones - Eaten Alive vol 1, and Blondie - Autoamerican

     

    In s3e17, Gaius Baltar demonstrates his original Aerilon accent to Chief. It's a gravelly "back of the throat" accent that sounds a lot like Mark Sheppard. Next episode we meet Baltar's lawyer, played by...Mark Sheppard. His law career is obviously on Caprica, but are the accents just coincidence? Is Lampkin faking it because he read the book? He doesn't strike me as a manual labor-type, but his story could be similar.

     

    The draggable cursor has been getting stuck on the span mode, and refuses to go back to the single cursor no matter where you tap. Sometimes the end even gets stuck at the end of the whole comment text, and can't be moved to span a single character, unless it's the last one. Sometimes it works fine, but usually not. It does usually seem to go back to normal if you cancel, and re-edit.

     

    The story takes place in Salem, MA, during the Witch Trials. This is some dialogue I just wrote today, so likely not final. It is a 100% fictional inquisition by the non-fictional Reverend Parris of Salem Village.

    As you may gather, I like to have some fun with the dialogue here and there. Link is below.
