“My name is Inigo Toyota. You stole my car. Prepare to drive.”

“He had spent years exercising, honing his strength and speed, and accuracy with various weapons. Deadly as a feral panther, his muscles rippled a shade of titanium. His eyes stabbed through everything he saw. He was as lethal with a pistol as he was with a sponge.” — “Man of Honor” #writing #pulp

Who’s doing something boring today?

It was a dark and dismal morning, or so the story goes.

Hello. It’s Friday. Get some work done so that you can relax this weekend. Better yet, relax now. It’s a holiday weekend here. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — Python — read — eat — errands — study something new.

Hm. I like cheese. I brew beer. But I’ve never tried making beer cheese. Maybe next batch. #food
