Woke up, lettered two Cat-Tharsis strips, went out to breakfast and the art store (for new Bristol and Tech-Pen cartridges. Question - anyone who uses Rapidographs, do you like them? Hate them? Consider them worth the care-and-feeding, or prefer to use nylon/felt tips (like Zigs or PITT)).
Came home and started the Mower so![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morgan1 could cut the grass (old injuries of hers make pulling a rip-cord a bad thing). Borrowed Morgan's keys to go into the house so I could use the bathroom, filter some water, and get drawing supplies so I can pencil the strip outside. That was when Morgan put her fist through the window in the back door.
Well that sort of adjusted some priorities. I let Morgan in and she cleaned and dressed her wounds. Meanwhile, I cleaned up the glass and picked it out of the doorframe. Went to the Hardware store for a new pane, some glazing putty and nails. Took it home and realized I had left no tolerance in the dimensions so we went back out to the HW store to get 1/4" trimmed from each dimension on the glass (and more gas for the mower.) We got the door reglazed in about an hour and half all-told, and by then it was time to go to a party our former neighbors were having for a number of family birthdays. (3 Geminis in one family).
After that we went to dinner at a place we hadn't been to in a while, and discovered that they are using their profits to advance an agenda we oppose. Basically donating to one of those "clinics" where they persuade young women to forgo high school and college and carry a pregnancy to term so that they can later be labeled "welfare queens" and abandoned by the very people who thought that baby was so all-fired important until the moment it left her womb.
So I deleted the entry for the restaurant from Good Eating (I will not turn my resources toward advancing an agenda I oppose) and donated the cost of our meal to Pro-Choice Minnesota.
I did get my Maudlin, Slit-Your-Wrists, Anti-War Bush Mix assemble (though I don't know if it's complete yet). Currently it contains:
1. And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (Eric Bogle, performed by The Pogues).
2. 1916 (Motorhead)
3. When The Tigers Broke Free (Pink Floyd - Roger Waters)
4. Story of Isaac (Leonard Cohen)
5. Traveling Soldier (The Dixie Chicks)
6. My Youngest Son Came Home Today (Billy Bragg)
7. Go Down, Congress (The Fugs)
Oyster Band's "Love Vigilante" might go on to, but the tune's a bit bouncy.
Any other suggestions?
