I have a new maxim to go alongside "never get involved in a land war in Asia": never get involved in a drinking contest with a Chinese leader.

I mean I won but holy shit is this costing me. I'm too old for this.

Sounds like you ran into some of these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Mission_Society_Church_of_God

They didn't even begin to scratch the surface of crazy that they have going on.

Ahhhh! Yes, that's them!

Just... wow. So very wow.

[Auspice]

Double-posting.
Deal.

The company just contacted me. They have a couple other candidates further along in the process, but they're interested enough in me that they want to push me along, too.

So I'm being given Stage 3 (the test) now, rather than after my 2nd phone interview on Friday.

Go go Auspice!

Having to do a 3 minute waltz for an event. And Youtube coming through with some nice how-tos, plus lots of waltz videos to snag basic things to stick into the box step. YAY YOUTUBE.

I'm a homeschool teacher for two little boys and I sometimes play music on my phone while doing light housekeeping tasks. Today, I overheard the boys arguing over who gets to be Angelica (from the musical Hamilton). I died.

Cut until you hate life, bulk until you hate yourself.

The long dark cut-time of the soul is almost over! I don't hate myself but it'll be fun to just eat things way more freely again, and I'm going overseas for two weeks visiting family and old friends at the end of the month where no shits will be given about what I munch on.

Can't say that I'm not excited, so I won't.

I'm really going to hate myself soon, because I've cut alcohol out completely.

[Arkandel]

@Ganymede I don't drink alcohol almost at all because... well I don't like beer, which apparently makes me a monster.

Once in a while I indulge friends and have wine which I do enjoy, but not enough to actually go out just to drink.

[SG]

@Arkandel I read once that beer was a good recovery drink.

While I wait for Imgur to stop sucking ass (could be a LONG wait!), I thought I'd post the photo most representative of my corporate retreat experience that has thus far actually made it up:

Tattoos! Got this lil buddy as an impulse yesterday. About the size of my hand, about an inch and a half above my knee.

[WTFE]

Ok, Imgur has (almost, but not quite) stopped sucking ass for now, so the photo-essay has been completed (minus a single image that fucking Imgur won't let me annotate for any reason).

There's a lot of verbiage and a lot of photos, so I've decided to take out the two photos (as yet unseen) that summarize the trip for me:

Oh my stars and garters, they are making a film version of Margaret Mahy's The Changeover FINALLY!

Cast includes Timothy Spall, Lucy Lawless, and Charlie Heaton amongst others. Stranger Things fans, take note, that last one is Jonathon's actor. (who I suspect will be playing Sorry for those in the know.)

I miss my rats. They're fantastic pets.

I got nine new decks of cards today. These ones are mixed in with my general photo-essay but I also gave them their own category because I plan to expand it with other kitschy Maomoribilia.

Here's a representative sample:

One of the kids I work with drew me a picture of Angelica Schuyler catching a flying Pikachu
