Two Graduations, or, Spy Camp is a real thing
So I'm heading home in a few hours just for the weekend mostly to go to my Dad's graduation from Bible school. This means I'll miss the seniors at WU graduating but I spent all day yesterday with a lot of them and got a "Black Alumni Council" padfolio from Freeman Word and Injustice: Gods Among Us from Mikkel so I feel like presents are cool, too, and it's kind of like i'm the one that graduated. Also learned from Will Dahl that Spy Camp is a real thing and that his life is like Donny Darko and worked with Osman on our upcoming webcoming Kickbacks (working title). Still wish I could go to both graduations to support but also graduations are kind of boring and all the same pretty much.
All the love to Class of 2013, may you not be ever cursed by the number 13 and go do life and rock and let me crash on your couch one day when I am poor before I am super rich.
Also, a snippet from today's prompt on characterization:
Age 10
Something beautiful was happening outside, her father was telling her, but she couldn't see it.
“Snow,” said Penny’s father.
“That’s what this is about?” said Penny. She stood there in her Princess Jasmine pajamas, the drawing room feeling tall around her.
“Ah,” said her father as he put a finger up. He winked at her and walked over to the wall, then flipped off the lights. The scene outside the window sprung into view. “First snow,” he said, “beautiful, isn’t it?”
It was the golden of the streetlamps that captivated her. The film of snow that covered everything felt far too doll house and delicate beauty. But there was something about the streetlight, the way the shadow looked cast across the snow like an omen or a dark sword.
Gotta go eat and pack
