Well, my fiction, at least.

Scientists uncover principles of universal self-assembly

Paradox will be so glad to know it follows rules.

Despite the fact that everybody's self-isolating, somebody * managed to commit a mass shooting in Nova Scotia.

RCMP officer among 17 confirmed dead in Nova Scotia killing spree

The shooter is also one of the 17 dead.

Quote:Const. Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year member of the force and mother of two, was identified as the officer killed. A male officer suffered non-life threatening injuries. Lisa McCully, a teacher at Debert Elementary, was also killed in the attack, according to a news release from the Nova Scotia Teachers Union.

Quote:Due to privacy reasons, Leather said he was not able to discuss [REDACTED]'s relationship with the victims, besides saying some of the victims did not appear to have a relationship with the gunman.

So I've opened up a YouTube channel basically documenting some of my projects as a Maker - models, props, cosplay, and private home arcade builds. I decided to lead with installing the vintage chimes for our pincab build.

If you're feeling a little claustrophobic cooped up in quarantine, count your blessings I guess, because I just woke up, looked around my eight by eight by seven foot tall bedroom, and had a panic attack because "this p[lace is too big," until I could box myself in with some stuff on either side of an armchair, on a sturdy little table in front, and my wide-brimmed hat acting as a personal ceiling to cut off everything above my eyebrows. I hope this is not going to be a thing going forward, because while not wanting to leave the house has been manageable to the point I didn't even realize how much I hated it, stomach-turning terror at not having solid walls close enough for my elbows to touch is liable to cause many more problems. Not least because in a high-risk household I'm still the least-unhealthy choice to go for the grocery runs, and the thought of doing that "again this week" is raising my heart rate as I type it, and not because of anything to do with the corona virus.

Fuck.

And I should keep a journal or something instead of dropping this kind of thing on you mob. Doublefuck. Doing it anyway because fuck all the ducks.

I was cleaning up some piles of paper in the room we call our "library" (where most of our books and the tower computer live) and I found a couple pads of lined paper with notes and whatnot for DW on them.  The following was on the first sheet of the topmost pad.  I don't remember when I wrote it, or why.  I don't have anything plotted out where this would naturally slot in...  so I decided to share it here and now.

Quote:I've been at Woodstock a dozen times on a dozen different Earths.  I've been to the Cellar in Berlin to see the birth of the Beatles almost as often.  I've shared a beer with Jerry Lee Lewis, a toke with Jimi Hendrix, and a ham sandwich with Cass Elliot.  In one timeline I saved Janis Joplin's life, and in two others I was the one to find her body.  I've stolen Kurt Cobain's shotgun and the ignition wires from a single-engine plane one cold February morning.  I've punched Don Kirschner in the nose.  I've been a member of the Memphis Mafia three times; I've sparred with Elvis, and been fired by him, and just once saved his life.  Billy Joel, Fiona Apple and John Lennon have all written songs about me in one timeline or another.

It's filled with repeated "The image you are requesting does not exist or is not available" messages.  Dozens of them

Allows you to keep a "straight" face, while telling the most unbelievable of tales as if they were true.

This one among other things, gives Doug a bit of Dignity, in fact may enforce it.
It also Serves up a nice Cuppa, and accoutrements.

Let's face it, I'm cute.



Draws attention to Doug when played. Nothing else.
