Do I do meal prep? Well, kinda.

I know I've said it somewhere else before, but nothing sums up the live-drawing class situation better than this Tumblr post. Anyone that is serious about those classes knows sexy things remain relegated to fantasy.

One of the things a lot of people that go "Oh 36 in Germany, it's just summer, here in Texas that's a cool day, la di da." often ignore is the sheer difference in latitude. So for comparison: It's 36°C in Vancouver for us here right now.
