Aug. 22nd, 2023 09:54 pm1. Still debating the "dresser issue". It's currently between one that has been marked down, and one at the original price. The one that has been marked down is much cheaper - but I don't know. I'm admittedly procrastinating because I don't know what to do with the one I currently have - and worrying about spatial issues. (I've told you all that I have no real depth perception, right? I honestly can't tell how big things are in spaces or spatial distribution. And I suck at measurements. Although pretty certain both will fit.
I hate buying furniture. I avoid it like the plague, and have a tendency to buy it far too cheap. I finally splurged and have a decent arm chair, coffee table and tv stand. Also the file cabinet/side table and night stand are nothing to sneeze at. That said? My gothic cabinet craft dresser has lasted over twenty years.
2. It was only a matter of time but..A US Court has ruled that AI Generated Art Cannot Be Copyrighted. I figured that would happen.

3. Okay transphobia doesn't make sense to me, any more than homophobia does. But even if it did? This is just plain dumb. Trans women banned from women's chess tournaments. Why can't they have the chess tournaments be non-gender specific? It's chess. It's not soccer or gymnastics or swimming. It is chess. A cerebral sport. You can play it without ever seeing your opponent or knowing what they look like. This makes no sense. People are stupid.
( apparently it's just temporary until they figure out what to do - and they are monitoring it...why it they need to do it at all is beyond me. Stop catering to idiots. )
4. New TV Shows..as if we needed any more. Part of the reason the television writers strike and actors strike is lasting forever...is well, the studios don't exactly require more content.
Co-worker: Oh, I wanted to talk to you.
Me: About?
Co-worker: Fiske.
Me: Fiske? As in the name Fiske? (I have a character in a book that I published named Fiske - so I admittedly intrigued and confused at the same time.)
Co-worker: It's a tv show about a lawyer named Fiske -
Me: male lawyer?
Co-worker: No female.
Me: Where?
Co-worker: On Netflix. Also there's Almost Australia, both are Australian shows, and blah blah, and blah blah blah. (I can't for the life of me remember the names of the other two television shows he threw at me which are also Australian.)
Me: Where do you find these obscure television series that you feel the need to thrust at me?
Co-worker: (shrugs) Just do.
Apparently it exists - and first popped up on ABC.. It's an Australian Comedy Series called Fisk. Co-worker aka Book Buddy/Sci-Fi Coworker, who is 73 with no plans to retire any time soon...loves to throw comedies at me, even though he knows I don't like comedies. LOL!
Other new television shows..

5. More for me than anything else...(no, I've not read the articles, I just like the titles).
