Hello you. Yes you. You’re the one reading this post right now, right? Of course. You wanna see a new mash-up? Coming right up!

Geriatrix is married to the most stunning woman in the entire village. She’s never given a name in the series, so she’s just Mrs. Geriatrix. She can be flirtatious at times when it suits her needs. With the other women of the village she can be quite catty. I can’t really think of an instance where she was a central character to a story. She just looks good on the page.

Chae gets to play Mrs. Geriatrix, and I’ll be honest, the hairdo doesn’t do her any favors. I refrained from giving Chae any wigs in the past and this mash-up just validates my decision. As always, if you want to see a close-up of the picture, click on it.

Madame Agecanonix

That’s all for this week. A new mash-up will appear next week. Which character will be featured? You’ll have to come back next Wednesday to find out.

Heheh! I Knew That!

Howdy folks and how are ya? It’s blogging time again. I’m blogging right now. Of course, when you read this, I’ll be done blogging. Rest assured, I’m blogging up a storm.

So last Friday I forgot to post the new Bandit Baby strip. Vacation days do this to me apparently. Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and afterwards I thought to myself that was a good time to post the strip. A more sane thought would have been to wonder if my pillow was missing me, but I take these thoughts as they occur to me so I sat down at my computer with the intent of posting the strip.

Only, I couldn’t upload the strip. I tried several times to the same result, a message saying WordPress was unable to upload the file. I thought, maybe it’s my browser. I’ve been having a lot of trouble with Firefox lately, so it wouldn’t have surprised me. I switched to Chrome and got the same result. I wondered if there was something about the file, so I tried to upload a different file and again got the same result. I worried that maybe I had reached the limit of files I could upload to my site, so I scoured Bluehost to see what exactly that limit was. As best as I could find, I had unlimited space. Just to be sure, I deleted a picture and tried to upload a new one…nope. It was a real puzzler.

After about an hour of trying to figure everything out, I resigned myself to having to contact Bluehost for some help. I started a chat window and that’s when I saw that due to server maintenance, the response time might be slow. That’s when it clicked. If they were doing server maintenance, it made sense I wouldn’t be able to upload anything. I closed the chat window and logged out to go to bed. The next morning, I tried and lo and behold it worked. Yeah, I didn’t feel silly at all!

Saturday was a big pizza party and campfire at Fab’s. To borrow an old McDonald’s slogan, it was Food, Folks and Fun. A good time was had by all. Fab ordered way too much pizza so as near as I can figure, he’s still eating pizza today, two days later.

A number of games that I backed on Kickstarter are starting to come in. In the past two weeks, I received: Galaxy of Trian, Captain’s Wager, Exploding Kittens, King Down and I got a notice that Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn should be in today (though Ashes was a straight preorder rather than a Kickstarter). They all look great, but I don’t know that some of them are a good fit for game night with my mom and niece. I’ll talk more on them if/when I try them out.

Okay, so that’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
