Mr. Hemmelgarn has been showing up again. He's my old high-school English teacher. And late at night, or when I am really tired, he appears just out of sight. Just behind the corner of my eye. I can hear him breathing and wheezing, so I know its him. He huffs and puffs like a slowly-deflating air mattress, and he stares at me. He stares and whispers four ugly words:

I can tell I haven't been in the mood for reading much fan fiction lately (but some stories always get my attention). My queue is now at 221 unread chapters. Okay, to be fair, I've been bookmarking stories that sound interesting to read later but the backlog is getting a bit obscene.

From left to right: Twiball, Rariball, Appleball, Pinkieball, Flutterball, Rainball Dash.

The colors mixed a bit more than planned on Rariball and Appleball (which looks kinda monochrome without close inspection), but otherwise, not bad for a conceived-on-the-instant project, I ween.

[Nyx] Oooo...pretty jar!
[Sombra] Yes, it turned out rather nice.
[Nyx] I was bored. You've been spending entirely too much time flogging slaves, so what's an evil TimeWitch to do on her own?
[Sombra] True. This is tame compared to some of the trouble you've been getting into of late, I must admit.
[Nyx] And how is hassling your future assassins "trouble", my King?

I did my first X-Wing Miniatures repaint recently. For those who don't play (probably most of you) mine is the black and yellow one on the left, not the blue and gray one on the right; that's how they look coming out of the box.
