Happy Birthday to my mom~!

suzume: the actor who played Yamamoto Kansuke, Uchino Masaaki, is in costume here blowing out the candles on his cake (Birthday Cake)
I may have mentioned it when I commented on my Pageant of the Masters trip, but while I was out, I bought two puzzles for my mom- one to give her right away and another to save for her birthday. It was a great opportunity to shop while not with my mom *lol* (we go practically everywhere together (especially because she can drive, I cannot. I do have a driver's license, but I haven't driven anywhere in years) first because after I got license she wasn't going to make me drive and then because I got on meds that I'm not supposed to drive with)

Anyway, I know she really likes when I draw and color traditionally, so I had that in mind as I drew this over the last few days:


Sasarai, Mags, Kimblee, Yun

I decided since she has a July birthday to show them all in beach attire. (She could recognize all of them from my drawings, except for Sasarai who's she seen much more of in black and white XD;)

Oh, I love her so much.

Challenge 265:
TRICKSTER
a dishonest person; a person skilled in the use of tricks and illusion; a cunning or deceptive character appearing in various forms in the folklore of many cultures

Maybe he’s a con man, tricking other people out of their money or time. Maybe she’s a stage magician who can make your keys disappear and reappear in the blink of an eye. Maybe they’re an ancient being who’s been around for a very long time and enjoys playing tricks on unsuspecting mortals.

How does it go? Are your tricksters good at what they do, or could they use a little more practice? Do your other characters enjoy the experience?

Write a story about a trickster.

BONUS GOAL: “You can just call me ‘goddess’. Most people do.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Since we only have two entries this week, I'm declaring a mini-amnesty for the remaining two days! If you have any fills for Summer Vacation, please feel free to post them any time up until Wednesday, July 2 at 9pm US Eastern Time. Challenge #265 will be up at the usual time.

Rebuilding journal search again

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.
suzume: Atsu-hime (the title character in this taiga drama) in the arms of her husband, Shogun Iesada (I'm a romantic)
I went to the Pageant of the Masters with [profile] 47nite (Alejandro) last Thursday.

As we often do, we spent pretty much the whole day together and it was a nice one. We ate at the Spectrum (not too far from my home) at the Cheesecake Factory.


I got the little margherita pizza there and (obviously) ate the white piece of bread we were offered. (I took the brown/rye ones home to my parents, who seemed very happy with them the next day). Alejandro ordered some hot water and poured it into his soup (he found the soup a bit spicy even for his tastes), which made me smile. (He also ate a salad)

So, the story of the Pageant of the Masters goes like this. My mom has a really old friend she met while working at Doheny [Beach] (in Dana Point), Sharon, who sends her a few dress rehearsal tickets every year. Usually she sends, four or so, but this year she sent six. I had been looking up a few things in the area that I didn't have the money for and this would be free [insert glowing sparkles here]. "Do you think Alejandro and I would enjoy that?" I wondered.

"Yeah," she replied, "You probably would."

I went along with her to bring the tickets to Uncle Donnie (and his second wife, Heather). They gave us all kinds of advice about where to park if we wanted to park for free (in front of Ganahl's Lumber (these are very common in my area)) and how the dress rehearsals are noisier and more loosy-goosy than the actual show. He also told us about how the shows usually have a sort of 'theme' and obviously this years was 'gold coast,' relating to all the museums up and down the coast of California.

It didn't start up until about 8 pm or so (though entry began much earlier at 6 pm) after Alejandro and I had wandered some of the streets of Laguna Beach and gone through several cool little shops. Ha, I think I would up spending more money than Alejandro that night! I even wound up buying a program, ha ha.

Anyway, we finally wound up seeing the Pageant of the Masters, and it was amazing. We mentioned how many of the museums that they showcased we had visited in the past (the Hilbert, the Getty, the Bowers, etc).

I couldn't make it past the intermission though, so we wound up going home at that point (it was already past 10 pm...!).

Challenge 264:
SUMMER VACATION
Ah, summer! It’s a good time for a nice vacation, a break from school, work, or our heroes’ usual adventures. Maybe there’s a traditional holiday or festival to attend, or maybe it’s just an excuse to go to the beach, or camping, or just stay home and relax.

But sometimes things don’t always go to plan! Maybe it’s a hundred degrees the entire week, or maybe it won’t stop raining. Maybe the adventure follows our heroes to the beach, and now instead of relaxing they’re right back on the job. Maybe they just picked a vacation that involves several million mosquitoes.

Write a story about summer vacation.

BONUS GOAL: “What are we going to do today?”
