I got to do a cool Halloween themed tour at a historical port tonight with a friend.

Disappearing Behind Me Into Sky shadow of crows from the tree disappears behind me to the sky she had crystals hanging in nearly every window of the house purified energy – coming in, going out Mystic Connecticut, the town not the sea port she bought me one for my car that little shop just by the draw bridge had it for years, hung from the rear view mirror one car to another to another I’ve no…

the idea that Orym has a death wish has led to some of the most laughable meta I've seen. Orym tells his closest friend - who has a penchant for delightfully wild impulses, is possibly important to the enemy's plot, and is about to see her biological father, about whom she has all kinds of complicated feelings - to not take unnecessary risks and people are handing out pamphlets on "a Treatise on Orym's Belief in Doom; Being an Account of His Deep-seated Hypocritical Actions Regarding The Pact With Morrigan, Hag and Fatestitcher" and it's like. idk man maybe they're going to be separated in a very clearly dangerous scenario and she specifically is in an emotionally charged and tricky one and he is saying "be careful", a normal thing friends might say to each other.

more adventures in writing historical fiction: I forgot the fucking North Star changes over time. So I had characters navigating by Polaris in a time when Polaris literally wasn't the fucking North Star

Tom Lewis performs the East Indiaman and explains “Cheerily” versus “Handsomely” at the Mystic Sea Music Festival (2017)

This has been in my drafts folder for nearly a month, waiting for when I have the spoons and clear mind to translate the Auto-Generated captions into something actually readable. But I’ve had to concede that those spoons aren’t coming. And I still want to share this, because it makes me laugh. So I’m posting this untranslated (sorry).

Tom Lewis was in the British Royal Navy, as a Submarine sailor, from 1959 - 1983. He’s been singing sea shanties and writing original songs about modern sailing life since the 1960s. Part of his performance style is to interrupt a song right before the last verse and chorus, in order to tell a story explaining what the lyrics mean. And, IMNSHO, he could be just as famous as a stand-up comedian as he is a singer. I’ve watched this half a dozen times, and I still laugh at it.
