GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And I was left thinking huh: so that's her?
a minute ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Hm, okay--it seemed they were pretty big in the cultural zeitgeist just a couple years ago, and I think there's buzz for a third entry. All I really know about them is that "Zendaya" was/is in them, and it didn't dawn on me until the credits started rolling on the new Spiderman that she was MJ.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I don't think I've heard of those movies, but my character has a few plot twists up his sleeve that I can't spoil. I'm hoping to finish the final project someday, I'll keep you updated. 👍

GiuseppeK: Okay, THREE Dune movies, but I don't think anyone here would've seen the one made back in 1984.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And no, don't worry about wrong impressions--hoping I can read the final product someday.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse He sounds a bit like the character Gurney Halleck in DUNE, if he got to be the star. Now that there are at least two movies out, probably safe enough to cite him (haven't seen either yet).

Warhorse: @Nainika Normal or Alpha? If its normal, then to get rid of the color you just change it to a different one, if you mean a whole string then I'm pretty sure you can just delete it in the editing box.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK He's a mystery to the rest of the world as well, but he was given the job because he grew up there and proved he was trustworthy. Yeah, he's a pretty scary person too. The dragons and werewolf-like creatures are only some of the creatures in this world, when I said "long lost family" I meant humans, and then he ran into other stuff. Hope I didn't given the wrong impression. Its hard trying to explain it, its easier to understand if you know the whole thing, but I have a hard time talking a lot about it, even my brother(who's my confident) doesn't have a very good grasp of it.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse A mystery only to us, the readership? Otherwise, he doesn't sound like the kind of guy you hire to safeguard royalty.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Its a fantasy novel set in a world divided into four kingdoms, and there is a war going on between them. The plot focuses on a mysterious boy with a scarred face, who is the bodyguard of the prince and princess of one of the kingdoms. He ends up (reluctantly) going on an adventure to save the world, runs into long-lost family, dragons, werewolf-like creatures, etc., And of course the villian who gets taken down in the end. I've been working on it for about two years now, and it's not quite close to be finished. 😄

Warhorse: @Warhorse My dad is always asking to read some, but its just not ready, or I'm not ready. Its hard to tell.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Good grief, not likely, I don't think it'll ever be a best seller, but its a fun process to write it.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And now you're writing the great American novel?
58 minutes ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Thank you, the picture doesn't really show it as well with the angle and lighting, but its easier for me to spot as I'm always very critical of my own work. Force of habit.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse On another occasion, someone asked me if I'd like a frozen banana. My immediate response was politely declining the offer, but then I realized I might like a regular banana LATER, so I accepted.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK That's pretty funny, and I'll agree, perspective is very important. Just ask an artist.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Before I forget, your horse wallhanging looks amazing (I know you don't think so, but even knowing there was a goof, my eye couldn't detect it).
an hour ago
Warhorse: @Nainika A published pattern or one you're creating?
an hour ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse It's all about perspective. For instance, whenever someone asks me if I have a poncho, I tell them "not yet." Because I *do* have a blanket and some scissors. 👍

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Ah, nobody likes Monday. Just trying to offer some perspective, if it helps anyone.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK A few chapters of a story that I'm writing that is.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK My bad, you got me with the Monday/Tuesday thing. 😜 Yeah, I've got some things I'm planning on finishing today: a bracelet & keychain, a book known as Albrek's Tomb (Adventurers Wanted Series), and a few chapters of my own story.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Nothing to do today?

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK 12 hour time zone difference, just before 8:30 AM here. Lol, yes, I had my coffee ☕
an hour ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse A few minutes before 8:30 (PM). You're fully caffeinated?
an hour ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Yes, still morning here alright, what time of day for you?

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse A bit late on my part, but good morning to you as well (pretty sure it's still morning where you are).

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I'm going to be working on my other projects for a while, but I might be back at scattered intervals over the afternoon, but I'm usually on more in the mornings. With my coffee.
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Pun very much intended. But, if you'll pardon me a few, I've got pups that need their walkies. Hope to chat more later, if you don't have anything more constructive to do.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK We actually lived in down in southern Texas for a while, (where I've seen coyotes and roadrunners), and I have never seen a tumbleweed, though I have read about them.
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Aaah, she's had her coffee! 👍
1 day, 22 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Pun intended? Crest is a brand of toothpaste, and if you drop it...
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Professional daily familiarity would certainly be a factor. One of my all-time favorite bits of standard Jungle Cruise skipper routine is "Look at that, folks! You don't see that every day! But I do... Every day... Every twenty minutes..."
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And had I known how awesome hitting tumbleweeds while driving could be (I'd been avoiding them until a situation forced me to take one on the grille), I'd've had so much more fun driving across Texas.
1 day, 22 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I always thought that about quicksand too, I guess it was a good plot device... And the fact that anvils aren't something you see everyday is kind of sad, unless you're a horse farrier or a swordsmaker that is, then you might see them more often.
1 day, 22 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Having seen both coyotes and roadrunners in person, I think it more likely that the roadrunner would fly away, and the coyote would be hunting something else. 🤔
1 day, 22 hours ago
Warhorse: @Nainika Wow, it is mid-August already, the summer really slipped by...
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And for the most part, I'm doing well, despite having dropped the toothpaste this morning (a trivial matter to some, but personally I was crestfallen).
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Or that the Great Cornholio (if you have no idea who that is, you're probably better off) had me completely fooled for an embarrassingly long time--Lake Titicaca is NOT, in fact, in Nicaragua (it's between Bolivia and Peru). But, we live, and if we're sensible, we learn. 👍
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And there are times I needed to acknowledge that my beloved cartoons of yesteryear weren't always as educational as I thought. My world was forever rocked the day I learned coyotes are generally faster than roadrunners.
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Tough call. I do know that old school cartoons certainly conditioned me to expect to encounter anvils in the wild with much greater frequency, and that quicksand was a much greater existential threat to mankind than it probably actually remains. 🤔

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Wow, I replied to myself in that last one! 😂 I'm doing swell today, how are you?
1 day, 22 hours ago
Warhorse: @Warhorse I'm not sure either, but I always thought it would be cool to be able to fly by using two trash can lids, or communicate under water. But, which do you think is the more believeable: oldtime cartoons, or modern cartoons?
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Then again, everybody's always asking Scooby Doo, Where Are You? Not too many ever bother to ask Scooby Doo, HOW Are You? So Warhorse, how are you?
1 day, 22 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Or maybe that kind of brilliance is just commonplace in their world. I'm not sure which would be worse.
1 day, 22 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Huh, that's an interesting way to put it, 🤔 but what I always liked was that it was so unrealistic, a nice escape from modern inconvenieces. I guess its harder to find honest jobs in the land of cartoons 🤷‍♀️
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse With the kind of disguises, technology and architecture they could pull off, in our timeline, they'd easily be employed, and maybe even famous. Yet in their world, they can't make an honest living.
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse The economy must've been in total collapse. The "villains" were, almost without exception, geniuses. Yet they were squatting in derelict building and other awful locations just in the hopes of maybe landing a payday.
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I remember reading an article once that changed how I look at the original series: if we stop to think about it, it must be a pretty horrifying situation the world would've been in.
1 day, 23 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK My siblings and I have grown up watching that show, its the best. 💯
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse You're a fan of the original run of Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
1 day, 23 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Yeah, I've gone through that with knitting, after four straight hours I chucked it in the closet and not touched it for weeks. Deadlines have always been a problem for me, so my plan is to ignore it and just do whatever I can, but who knows, I might be in for a long break afterwards.
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse (Probably nothing you don't already know, but a rando repeating it can't hurt.)
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Sounds good, but try not to stress too much about a deadline--that's a terrific way for things to stop being enjoyable, and craft burnout is a real thing.
1 day, 23 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Well I've never done a keychain before, so I'm gonna figure that out in doing it. I have a small list of patterns written down, and my goal is to finish them all before September, after the keychain I'll be working on a bracelet.
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse You already have the next figured out?
1 day, 23 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK It was definitely bigger than I had expected, I thought it was small, that's why I picked it. I'm starting on a keychain today, much, much smaller-- I think. With some luck it'll be easier after the wallhanging.
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse It will be. If you've completed an alpha that size, you've gone from rookie to veteran in a single project.
1 day, 23 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Thanks, I certainly hope the next one is better, but I'm still happy this one because its my first wallhanging.
1 day, 23 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Looking forward to seeing it (biases aside, I already know I'm going to love it). And your next is gonna be even better. 👍

Warhorse: @EveryTime Good morning!
