So in February 2014 the lawyers got involved, in July 2013 the stress started.

Regardless how you count it...it's gone on more than long enough.

For tonight I got a nice snack for when watching TV (Locke & Key on Netflix) and I've decided to treat myself to a Diamond Painting that has been on the top of my wishlist for a long time. I've decided to go for the biggest size of 80 by 120 centimeters. I'm not sure how I'm going to work on that, though!

Y'know, I had some hopes for that show when it started, but it kinda devolved into teenage angstiness and some very,
VERY predictable "twists" and plot elements before it got to the end. To me, it felt as though 6 episodes would have been plenty but they stuffed it to carry 10. And while I know that in fiction, you need conflict and to frustrate the MC/protag(s) from achieving their goal, some of the protagonists' failures to "win" are just groan-worthy.
It's like that "TSTL" thing (Too Stupid To Live), when the female protagonist in a mystery novel goes down into the basement, unarmed, when she knows that the serial-killer-bad-guy is loose, alone, in the same house. Yeeaaaahright. When a character does something like that, you start rooting from him/her to DIE. At least, I do. When someone is physically fighting with another character and the bad guy's gun falls out of his/her/their hand, my attitude is
pick it up, idiot! Not,
run away so that the bad guy can pick the gun up and chase you and try to kill you, again.
But, hey, that's just me. I truly do hope you like it better than we did. :-)
