Hi! Hope you’re doing well! You don’t have to answer but I was just wondering where your inspiration for Terra’s town came from or how you came up with those ideas? Struggling with writers block rn myself 🙃

hello, hoping the same for you! i’ve been sitting on this ask a while after tumblr ate my initial response, but i finally had the time to rewrite most of what i said that first time, so, without further ado:

i still remember coming up with tt, though i don’t know how much help that alone will be. i was on a car ride with family, and i was sitting in the back, staring out the window and listening to blood in the cut by k. flay. all of a sudden, i got the image of a cannibal, a girl that could raise the dead, and someone who really wasn’t supposed to be there traveling across a desert. when i got home, i started instantly making character intros, and thus egg, eve, and then-jekyll were born.

keep in mind, terras town is now almost five years old. it’s been through four plot reveals, eighteen actual plots, and one major character flip (from jekyll to lev). and im still fixing it up. so that initial spark of inspiration didn’t actually end up taking me very far - i had to consciously start pushing it in various directions, seeing what worked, what didn’t, etc. and even today the work’s not done.

however, past that initial point of ‘founding’ tt, and now that im a less close to that point in my life, i can definitely point out some of the media behind it: the umbrella academy, brooklyn 99 (only for those two or so highly specific episodes with a really friendly cannibal - sound familiar?), the library at mt char, night in the woods (for virgo and sonnyboy’s relationship & what would come to be some of lev’s general vibe), rebel of the sands. yeah, i was like 15.

(i only read the locked tomb this year, but i really wish i could put that as an inspiration too, because after reading it i remember thinking, this is exactly what i’m going for.)

my point is, tt was fundamentally a product of things id seen (years ago) and liked, as well as ideas i liked in principle but wished had better execution. that’s part of what i’d advise if you’re struggling to come up with something: read (or watch) something really good, or really bad. really good helps kick in my competitive drive, if not pure awe. really bad triggers i could fix you.

tt also was built on themes and tropes i wished other books did more (see the whole i could fix you) thing. a dead boyfriend rather than girlfriend as a character motivation. magic with actual setbacks. a boy desperately devoted to a girl instead of the other way around. feral women. the end of the world being the least of the characters’ problems. those were some of the initial ones at the time, and from then on i kept adding. so another tip i’d give would be to think of what you’d like to read, and, well. write it!

the last few tips deviate from tt a bit, but i think help anyway:

writing prompts. they’re there for a reason, and though they won’t do the writing for you, they can help plant a seed for an idea. if you have a character dynamic you want to do, but no world or stakes for it to live in? writing prompts can be your friend. they were for me and requiem.

likewise, characters. i tend to come up with my cast first, plot second. oftentimes, with the cast comes the plot. think up someone, think of (what i call) their deal. what’s their deal? what do they want? what are they like? who would they clash with the most? (there, now you have a second character). sometimes, ill do a thing where i find a picrew i like, and aimlessly start designing. with it, so too does my character unfold: ‘okay, she gets black hair, but - oh, maybe streaks of gray. from stress? yeah, maybe she’s in a leadership position. then how old is she?’ etc, etc. or listen to music! if you’re the type to design mental animatics with every song, this tip works like a charm for me - sometimes, ill get a flashes of a storyline alongside. or even look up baby names and try to see what vibes you get from your favorites. generally, i’m of the opinion that characters make a story, so they’re the things i give the most attention to before writing.

finally, not to sound a little more traditionalist: look around. go for a walk, notice things. let your mind run in the shower. ideas usually come when you don’t expect them, even if it’s all too tempting to take a crowbar to them and yank them out yourself. involve yourself in the real, and when you come back, throw yourself into the fictional (you probably know that age old tip: when you’re not writing, read).

good luck with your writing!

Day trip/overnight from Tokyo: Hakone

It’s been about a month since I started my job at the travel agency and I already know more about things to do in Hakone than anyone who’s never been to Hakone should know. It’s a small but popular town near Mt. Fuji with some pretty good things to do. If you’re going between Tokyo and Kyoto, this is a good stop on the way. It’s also a good opportunity to splurge a bit and stay at a nice ryokan with an onsen. There are even a few—but not many—open-air onsen with views of Fuji (many of those are at ryokan, but may be open to day guests not staying there overnight).

There’s lots of stuff to do here so I’ll try to keep it short. Anyone wanting a more detailed description (especially prices and logistics on getting from place to place), feel free to send an ask!

Getting there from Tokyo:

The shinkansen is only 40 minutes from Tokyo Station to Odawara and for such a short distance is not too expensive (3,000 for unreserved, 4,500 yen for balls-to-the-wall luxury with seats in the premium car). Take the Tozan train from Odawara to get into Hakone proper--a particularly gorgeous ride during hydrangea season (mid-June to late July).

The Odakyu Romancecar (limited express) from Shinjuku to Hakone Yumoto is a bit longer (80 minutes). It’s a bit cheaper than the shinkansen (in the range of 2,500 yen), but they’re close enough that it’s better to just decide based on convenience--unless you have the Freepass, in which case the Romancecar is only about 1,500 yen.

If you’re staying overnight or for 2 nights you should absolutely get the Hakone Freepass (2- and 3-day passes available) which give you free public transport basically anywhere in Hakone, and discounts for a bunch of stuff.

Suggested route:

Train from Hakone Yumoto or Odawara to The Hakone Open-Air Museum: art museum with some pretty notable exhibits (admission 1,600 yen)

Walk (15 min) to Sounzan station and ride the Hakone Ropeway to Togendai station (￥1,480 one-way): some good views going up the mountain. Easily accessible from Odawara and Hakone Yumoto via bus and cable car (all free with the Freepass). Stop at Owakudani station (￥920 +￥1,140 from there to Togendai) on the way up to try the famous black eggs—eggs boiled in a sulfur spring with the shells turned black, which are said to add 7 years to your life:

Photo by David Monniaux x

From the top of the ropeway (Togendai station) take the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise on Lake Ashi/Ashinoko to Motohakone port for Hakone Shrine or Hakonemachi for Hakone Sekisho (the two ports are within walking distance of each other so you can visit both--￥1,040 one way, free with Freepass, cruise/ropeway day pass also available). On clear days you can see Mt. Fuji, such as in the picture at the top of this post.

Hakone shrine: some gorgeous views, of course. One of the torii gates is on the lake.

Hakone Sekisho (Hakone inspection point): historically used to prevent weapons from coming into the city and the wives and daughters of feudal lords from getting out of the city. Now restored as a museum.

Then take a bus back to Hakone Yumoto/Odawara/your hotel, etc.

If the Hakone Ropeway is closed, you can try the Komagatake ropeway instead (go to Hakone Shrine or Hakone Sekisho by public transport first, then take the Izuhakone cruise instead of the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise to Hakone-en port; alternatively, just take a bus to Hakone-en. There’s fewer Freepass discounts with this route).

That’s a pretty good day trip right there, but if you’re staying longer try some of these:

Yunessun onsen complex: One side of the complex is a bit more traditional, while the other (swimsuits required) has rooms with coffee baths and wine baths, just to name a few (3,500 yen for admission to both parts).

And the Venetian Glass Museum.

If you’re going by shinkansen, take some time in Odawara to go to Suzuhiro Kamaboko Village. Kamaboko is a traditional Japanese food made from pureed fish paste, formed into loaves and steamed. At Suzuhiro, you can try making your own kamaboko at the museum (1,500 yen depending on the workshop. I recommend going through the Japanese version of the website if you’re able to do the workshop in Japanese, as there are more options). There are some other food-related places at the village, like a soba restaurant and a craft beer brewery.

Also in Odawara is Odawara Castle, where you can try on some armor!

Dios Mabalos, Mt. Mayon!

I just got back from Bicol Region for work. It was my first time visiting the region so I was excited to see the Mayon. Of course, it is wise to grab the opportunity to also visit nearby tourist destinations. So, here are the places I visited during my stay.

The perfect cone of the Mayon volcano is literally majestic! Its description on the internet is an understatement! It was looming over you like a backdrop while you were in the middle of the city. I went to Cagsawa church, a 10-15 minute ride from Legazpi City. The church fell into ruins because of the Mayon volcano eruption. I wish we have a tour guide because I love hearing stories about the places I go to!

Here is the Cagsawa church ruins.

We also went to Sumlang Lake. It could have been a perfect spot to capture the majestic cone but unluckily the Mayon was kind of shy that day. It's sad because the locals have a superstition that the Mayon shows its beauty and perfect cone only to those with a pure heart.

In Sumlang, there are weavers that produces export quality products such as carpets, table runners and placemats, vases and so much more!

We also went to FarmPlate where you can chill, eat and relax picnic-style. They provide free banigs you can use to sit on the ground. We stayed here the most because it has a nice view of Mayon at an elevated location and it has a lot of instagramable areas.

Here are the restaurants we went to eat:

SmallTalk. It's a house remodelled to be a restaurant so it really has a homey vibes. The food was great - I love their ribs and chicken cordon bleu.

Sibid-sibid Food Park. The place is very native and dim-lighted but the food is also great! The Kinunot is a must-try!

Zoe's Kitchen. The food was okay. There's nothing special here. I think they are famous for the laing pizza or pasta. Anyway, we didn't get to try those.

Home Again Home Again Jiggity Jig

We pulled into our driveway around midnight yesterday...day before? Teetering between the two, I guess. Our flights home from Prague had been juggled courtesy of Delta and we ended up with an extra leg. Booooo! We barely had enough time in JFK to go through passport control, customs, claim our bags and recheck them, and make a mad dash for our connecting flight. It was not the leisurely stroll we usually take between flights with time for a snack and a look around. Still, no complaints - we made it home safely, fell into our own bed, and the cats have accepted us back into the tribe. All is well. Rather than bore everyone with the day-by-day travel diary that I usually do, I’ll just share some highlights and pictures. Honestly, we all know that I’ll try to keep this brief and it will still turn into a lengthy post that may well bore you to tears. If you bail now, I understand.

Where to start? Prague. Beautiful, ornate, steeped in interesting history, and amazingly intact after centuries that saw more than one major war. It’s truly a magical city.

It’s a city of castles and marionette shops...

... a city of swans...

and a city of some of the yummiest street food ever.

The mister opted for sweet treats, I always lean toward savory - and can’t say no to local sauerkraut. That warm,soft cone of bread wrapped around sauerkraut, bacon, and a wiener is worth every calorie. We tried to balance healthy meals with indulgent ones, and I think I did okay. Mickey had a really hard time passing a menu that offered dumplings, and every menu offered dumplings. Czech food is big on starches�� (bread dumplings, potato dumplings, goulash in a bread bowl) and pork in every form. I had good luck with fresh salads in most places, but the smell of sauerkraut will lure me in every time.

Wandering the cobblestone streets of Prague is pure enchantment. You can cross a bridge built in 1357 to reach

a wall dedicated to John Lennon and messages of peace.

There’s always someone singing.

youtube

And once again, I left my mark on the wall.

There’s music EVERYWHERE in Prague. On street corners, on bridges, floating out of windows...it’s everywhere!

youtube

We went to a concert at the old St. Michael’s Monastery one evening and it was so beautiful. More on that later. We rode trains from Prague to Linz to Salzburg and back again. We met interesting and fun people on those rides. Really fun! We walked the streets of old Salzburg,

and even spotted some of the sites from The Sound of Music.

Recognize the Do Re Mi steps? And this fountain? And so many more spots?

youtube

Those were all snapped at Mirabelle Palace which just happened to be right next door to our hotel. Every day on our way out to see what there was to see we walked through the gorgeous grounds and my brain was constantly singing tunes from The Sound of Music.

We hopped a bus to Hallstatt, an honest to goodness fairy tale town. They’re not trying to be, in fact for a long time they tried to keep tourists out. I’m so glad we were able to go - it was breathtaking. We rented a little electric boat for just 15 euros and cruised the lake before wandering around town.

These phone snaps don’t even begin to do justice to that magical little town. I’ll snag some of Mickey’s photos later and share them.

Even the bus ride to and from Hallstatt was fun. The Austrian countryside is stunning. The driver stopped here and there for photo ops - and this one was my favorite. Not just because it’s a beautiful lakeside hamlet nestled at the foot of mountains, but because if you turn to the right...

you see the hill where Julie Andrews did her spinning and singing!

You know you’re singing right now.

I’ve hardly touched on all of the wonderful sights, fun stories, and serendipitous moments from this trip. But I’ll close this rambling blog post by saying that this guy is the best travel partner any girl could ever have.

That’s him on our train leaving Salzburg to return to Prague. That’s our tasty picnic dinner in that bag.

Here he is after a long day of humoring me. He was probably tired of hearing me hum Do Re Mi by this point.

If you don’t have a wonderful travel companion, I’d suggest going solo. A fun partner can help make a long day better and make a good day utterly fantastic. I’m so fortunate that we’re so often on the same page regarding what we’re in the mood to do and even when we decide to skip something without feeling guilty. We’re well matched and that makes these trips so much fun. I’ll add to this report over the next few days as I go through my photos and share them and the stories that go with them. But for now, we’re back to our home sweet home, I’ve made a pot of soup, and we’re getting back on local time. Autumn is just arriving here in Mt. Juliet, the weather has cooled and the trees are starting to show a bit of color. What a lovely welcome home. You might say it’s one of my favorite things. See what I did there? More from this tired gal tomorrow. Time to soak in the tub and get a good night’s sleep. XOXO

2022 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro First Look (5 Quick Facts)

By: AdvWisdom Title: 2022 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro First Look (5 Quick Facts) Sourced From: advwisdom.com/a/2022-ducati-scrambler-1100-tribute-pro-first-look-5-quick-facts/ Published Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2021 08:10:21 +0000

Ducati has removed the covers of its newest member of the Scrambler family – the 2022 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro. The largely cosmetic update pays tribute to the Bologna-based brand’s first air-cooled two-cylinder engine, launched 50 years ago in 1971. Based on the Scrambler 1100 Pro, some mechanical changes are also planned. Now is the time to read the Fast Facts.

The 2022 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro is based directly on the Scrambler 1100 Pro. That’s a small bite, but the fact remains that Ducati designers used the rugged 1100 Pro as the starting point for this tribute motorcycle. To this end, all technical specifications remain the same between the two models. The powerful water-cooled 1079 cc engine is not deterred by the Euro 5 emissions standards and delivers a whopping 86 hp at 7500 rpm and a torque of 66.5 ft-lbs at 4750 rpm. In addition, the fully adjustable Marzocchi 45 mm fork and the KYB damper with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping support the classic steel lattice frame. Finally, IMU-enhanced cornering ABS, traction control and three selectable driving modes are standard.

Its Giallo Orca paint scheme pays homage to the Ducati style of the 1970s. At the center of the styling of the 1100 Tribute Pro is a classic Ducati logo from the mid-1970s, designed by legendary Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. In addition to the yellow paintwork, we also see a brown leather saddle that spices up the retro elements.

Round mirrors add a touch of retro. Old school round mirrors replace the more modern mirrors on the 1100 Pro.

Wire spoke wheels replace the cast aluminum wheels. Nothing says vintage like wire-spoke wheels, so they fit the 1100 Tribute Pro. The 18/17 inch rim combination is black anodized.

The 2022 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro is priced at $ 13,995. Expect this tribute model to arrive at dealerships in March 2022. Until then, you can enjoy the pictures and soak up everything that this Italian review has to offer.

High-Speed Electric Scooter | Pureev

The story began with PURE Yes PURE ! Pure EV is the manufacturer of electric scooters, e-bikes & electric bicycles in India which is incubated by IIT Hyderabad. PURENERGY acronym stands for Power Using Renewable Energy and faithful its name ever since its genesis at IIT Hyderabad, the corporate has focused on enabling transition to sustainable energy sources. Energy storage technology has been a key area of experience for the corporate latest electric scooters. The firm has executed hybrid solar storage projects for several prestigious business groups, Universities, Hospitals, Residential Communities, NGOs and Schools. the corporate management team brings significant experience from academia and energy industry. The company made raid manufacturing of electrical two-wheeler under the brand “PURE EV” and high-performance Lithium batteries under the brand “PURE Lithium”. the corporate has been funded by visionary from Pharma industry Shri V C Nannapaneni. the corporate has setup a fanatical 40,000 sqft manufacturing unit and is ready to become one among the leading EV startups of India in times to come! the corporate is concentrated on building products that's beloved by the mass consumer and building a trustworthy name in EV and ESS business verticals. Electric motorcycles and scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels. The electricity is stored on board during a rechargeable battery, which drives one or more electric motors. electric scooter in Hyderabad (as distinct from motorcycles) have a step-through frame. History The early history of electrical motorcycles is somewhat unclear. On 19 September 1895, a application for an "electrical bicycle" was filed by Ogden Bolton Jr. of Canton Ohio. On 8 November of an equivalent year, another application for an "electric bicycle" was filed by Hosea W. Libbey of Boston. At the Stanley Cycle Show in 1896 in London, England, bicycle manufacturer Humber exhibited an electrical bicycle-built-for-two high-speed electric scooter. Powered by a bank of storage batteries, the motor was placed ahead of the rear wheel. Speed control was by a resistance placed across the handlebars. This electric bicycle was mainly intended for racetrack use. The October 1911 issue of Popular Mechanics mentioned the introduction of an electrical motorcycle. It claimed to possess a variety of 75 miles (121 km) to 100 miles (160 km) per charge. The motorcycle had a three-speed controller, with speeds of 4 miles (6.4 km), 15 miles (24 km) and 35 miles (56 km) per hour In 1919, Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies made a prototype electric motorcycle during which the batteries were fitted under the seat of the sidecar. albeit the vehicle was registered for road use, it never went past the trial stage. In 1936, the Limelette brothers founded an electrical motorcycle company called Socovel (Société pour l’étude et la Construction de Véhicules Electriques or Company for research and manufacture of electrical vehicles) in Brussels. They continued production during the German occupation with their permission. thanks to fuel rationing, they found a point of success. But after the war, they switched to standard models. the electrical models remained available until 1948. During war II, compelled by fuel rationing within the us , Merle Williams of Long Beach , California invented a two-wheeled electric motorcycle that towed a single-wheeled trailer. thanks to the recognition of the vehicle, Williams started making more such vehicles in his garage. In 1946, it led to the formation of the Marketeer Company (current-day ParCar Corp.). 1950 to 1980 In 1967, Karl Kordesch, working for Union Carbide, made a fuel cell/Nickel–cadmium battery hybrid electric motorcycle. it had been later replaced with a hydrazine cell , giving it a variety of 200 miles (320 km) per gallon and a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). In the same year, a prototype electric motorcycle called the Papoose, was built by the Indian Motorcycle Company under the direction of Floyd Clymer. In 1974, Auranthic Corp., alittle manufacturer in California, produced alittle motorcycle called the Charger. It had a 30 mph (48 km/h) and a 50 miles (80 km) range on a full charge. In the early 1970s, Mike Corbin built a street-legal commuter electric motorcycle called the Corbin Electric. Later in 1974, Corbin, riding a motorbike called the fast Silver, set the electrical motorcycle speed record at 165.387 mph (266.165 km/h). The motorcycle used a 24-volt electric starter from a Douglas A-4B fighter plane. In 1975, Corbin built a battery-powered prototype street motorcycle called the town Bike. This motorcycle used A battery manufactured by Yardney Electric. In June 1975, the primary Annual Alternative Vehicle Regatta was held at Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. The event was created and promoted by Charles McArthur, an environmentalist. On June 17, Corbin's motorcycle completed the 8 miles (13 km) uphill course in 26 minutes. The 1980s to 2000s In 1988, Ed Rannberg, who founded Eyeball Engineering, tested his electric drag motorcycle in Bonneville. In 1992, the January issue of Cycle World carried a piece of writing about Ed Rannberg's bike called the KawaSHOCKI. It could complete 1 / 4 mile (0.25 miles (400 m)) in 11–12 seconds. In 1995, Electric Motorbike Inc. was founded by Scott Cronk and Rick Whisman in Santa Rosa, California. In 1996, EMB Lectra was built by Electric Motorbike Inc., which used a variable reluctance motor. It had a top speed of about 45 mph (72 km/h) and a variety of 35 miles (56 km). About 100 of those were built. In 1996, the primary mass-produced buy electric scooter in Hyderabad, Peugeot Scoot'Elec, was released. It used Nickel-Cadmium batteries and a variety of 40 km (25 mi).

ART SCHOOL | Q&A w/ THEO ELLSWORTH (Missoula, MT)

From DIY comics, art zines, animations, drawings to hand drawn woodcuts, artist Theo Ellsworth has doodled his way from childhood and high school to galleries and museums all over the world. One look at his body of works, you’ll find yourself drawn into a detailed, imaginative, stream-of-consciousness narrative realm, where strange creatures, surreal beings, and dreamy landscapes flow and blend into one another, with no beginning or end. Not only one thing, Theo also is the house artist for the London based electronic record label, Astral Industries, creating art for bands like Flying Lotus, Ramona Falls, and Algecow. Learn more about Theo Ellsworth’s art and what his early artistic influences are, what materials he loves to work with, and what he has coming for the rest of 2017.

Photographs courtesy of the artist

Introduce yourself? Hello, I'm Theo Ellsworth. I draw a lot. Pretty much whenever I can. I live in Missoula, Montana.

My drawings take many forms: I make hand drawn woodcut art for galleries and museums, I also make comics and art zines. Sometimes I do large scale drawings on walls. I do illustration work of all kinds. I'm the house artist for the London based electronic record label, Astral Industries. I've also made album art for Flying Lotus, Ramona Falls, Skeleton Farm, and Algecow. I've been dabbling in animation and I'm currently excited to be learning woodblock printing. My work's been featured in Best American Comics, Cicada Magazine, The Treasury of Mini Comics, Smoke Signal, The Graphic Canon, and the upcoming book, America 2020.

When did you first get into drawing? Was it a hobby turned career or something you knew from the start? I've loved drawing since I was a kid, but it was in high school that it really became an essential part of me. I started out just doodling a lot with straight sharpie on whatever piece of paper I had on hand. Something about just letting my hand run free to follow whatever shapes it wanted to make, really helped me relax my brain in this weird new way. It was never an absent minded kind of thing. It never felt I was spacing out. It felt more like the act of drawing helped me carve out a personal thinking space where I could concentrate and function more naturally. I got sent to the principal's office for drawing in class all the time in high school and I used to get bad grades in my high school art classes for not following the assignments correctly. Now, I feel lucky to be making a living making art. If I don't draw regularly, I get grumpy and hard to be around. Something about making art seems to keep me feeling intact and able to face the world.

Who were some of your early artistic influences? Reading comics and children’s books as a kid really had an impact on me. I always knew I wanted to make narrative work with my art. When I discovered the world of self publishing, zines, and mini comics at the Small Press Expo in San Francisco back in 2003, I realised that I could do it all myself. The first zine I ever printed was a series of drawings on receipts. I started a photocopied comics series called Capacity, which was eventually collected into a 335 page book published by the Brooklyn based small press, Secret Acres. My newest published book is a 128 page, wordless psychedelic horror comic called An Exorcism, published by the excellent Latvian small press, Kus Komikss.

What mediums do you love to work with? What are your essential art tools? I’ll use any kind of pen, but my favorite is the Rapidograph, which is a technical pen that can be refilled with india ink. I also love just drawing with cheap ballpoint pens. I love to draw on folded paper. I like the idea of drawing on a sequence of pages as opposed to drawing on a single sheet of paper. The act of drawing becomes more of a thought process; a series of drawings that travel somewhere, as opposed to a single static image. Some of my folded paper notebooks have been reproduced as art zines, such as Logic Storm, Antidote, and Relax, We Have Alien Vehicles. These zines are probably fairly cryptic objects to any viewer expecting a narrative, but working on each one helped me navigate the time period they were drawn in. I carried them around with me and worked on each one a little at a time, until they were filled. I Like having an ongoing work like this in motion that I can take my time with and slowly build on. I like to draw on a folded paper size that can be easily reproduced on a photocopier and potentially made into an art zine and I draw on both sides of every page, so the zine is an exact reproduction of my notebook. Sometimes I only make a few copies or none at all of any given piece, but keeping that format keeps me locked into a sequence of pages that I have to work my way through.

Do you keep a sketchbook or work your ideas as you go along? What type of sketchbook do you keep – disorganized chaos or neat and clean? Besides my folded paper drawing notebooks I keep, I don’t really keep a sketchbook. I don’t really do preliminary sketches of ideas for the most part. I always have this impulse to make everything a finished drawing.

What was the first show you ever exhibited in? What was your last show? My very first show was at a coffee shop called Butterfly Herbs in Missoula, MT. By most recent show was at Giant Robot in LA.

Where did you learn your knowledge of art or making art? Art School or Self taught. For the most part, I'm self taught, though I'm currently learning woodblock printing from an incredibly print maker named David Miles Lusk and I've been learning a lot of great animation tips from my friend Stefan Gruber, who's a genius animator.

Describe your artistic process for us. It’s all pretty stream of conscious. It might be easiest to describe my process with my woodcuts. I started making the woodcut art, originally because I got tired of framing work for shows and wanted by gallery work to be something that felt really different from my illustration work. I got a scroll saw and started cutting out shapes in hard-wood plywood, drawing on them, then coating them in varnish. I’ll go into my little woodshop in my garage and draw out as many shapes as possible on a big piece of plywood and cut out a whole pile of them, so I have a nice stack to work on. I never completely know what they’re going to look like until I’m working on. They just start out as these vague person, animal, or house shapes,and it’s a true joy to sit with each one and discover the details. I do a yearly solo show of my woodcut pieces at Giant Robot in Los Angeles that I usually make at least 75 new pieces for. I had a show there this past June. Right now I have 3 pieces in a group show at Grumpy Bert in Brooklyn, NY and 9 new pieces are about to go to a show at Radius Gallery in Missoula, MT.

What makes you smile when viewing art? What is it you’re looking at – composition, color, line? I'm inspired by all kinds of work. I love outsider art and folk art. I love weird art comics, but I also still have a huge love for 60s, 70s, and 80s superhero comics. I love ancient art and textures and patterns in nature. Any art that really feels like it was made from an inner artistic impulse usually ends up getting me excited and inspired. I love art that feels a bit crude or awkward but full of feeling and personal expression. That kind of art does way more for me than something super polished and calculated. I love children's art and I collaborate with my 2 young kids whenever I can.

What’s a common misconception about artists? I don’t think many people really understand the focus and effort that goes into a single work of art. I love having a studio that I can ride my bike to, close the door and have periods of time where I'm totally immersed with no distractions. I also like sitting up after everyone in my family has gone to bed and working on my zines or woodcuts. I get significantly less sleep than everyone else in my family, but making use of that quiet time is so essential. The most valuable thing to me about making art is simply the experience of focus and concentration; the satisfaction of putting care into something. The journey of following a vague impulse until something tangible and often unexpected has come into existence. It sort of feels like developing a photograph of something from my subconscious, like I'm actively engaging with something mysterious and beyond my understanding.

Do you have a favorite artist(s) that does a completely different medium than yourself? Oh yeah! I have a huge love for art environments. One of my favorites is Le Palais Ideal in France, made by Ferdinand Cheval. He was a Postman in the late 1800s who built a complex and beautiful homemade structure on his land. He had no prior experience with architecture. He simply followed this mysterious artistic impulse and made something startling and unique. There’s nothing else like it.

What are your favorite Vans? I like it when people draw on them and add personal touches.

How are you not just ONE thing? Everything I do feels like it’s part of the same world and comes from that same initial creative impulse, but I definitely need that variety of approaches and focuses. It keeps me inspired and seeing things from new and different angles..

What’s on the horizon for the rest of 2017? Right now, I'm working on a new series of folded paper notebooks called Thrill Mouth. It's more of a pure comic book, inner-space explorer adventure series drawn in ball point pen. I printed some copies of the first issue a few weeks back. Some of the copies have hand drawn glitter gel pen details on the covers. I usually can't stop myself from getting labor intensive and ridiculous with anything I make. I've been making zines and mini comics for about 15 years. It actually was relief when a publisher first contacted me, wanting to put out a book, and I love working with the publishers I've been lucky enough to work with so far, but making these little self published art booklets is an important personal practice and I always try to have one in the works. I’m also working on a graphic Novel with author Jeff VanderMeer.

Episode I - The Last Night

He loved me.

And I loved him.

What else would I ask for? We were in love. Both at the middle of our life’s, learning to enjoy the small things only old hearts can appreciate.

Above everything our hearts were beating for each other. That was something we knew for sure.

How could I imagine a trip so small, a moment of our life’s dedicated exclusively to make each other even happier... end into something that almost broke us?

...

That night was the longest of my life... or so it seemed. He kissed me and I kissed him back. Our skins rubbed agains each other, reacting to such excitement. We had been looking for a moment of privacy for almost a week now. This was our night.

“I love you,” he whispered.

“I love you more,” I said... Kimahri was never a man who would speak much. Although he had been speaking more lately, since we met.

In the heat of the moment our arrows meet. One pointing north, the other pointing south.

I guess they were both happy to finally meet each other without clothes, they just had to kiss each other just as we were with our mouths. Share a bit of our glossy serum would just reinforce their affection

“I think they like each other,” I said.

“But,” I continued, while grabbing his warm throbbing rod, “I think he’s going to have to find someone else, because this... this one is mine.”

“Well,” as a reply, Kimahri grabbed tight on mine, I could feel his rough hands all over my gentle foreskin. “I think you might be right, because this is all mine, and I don’t plan to share it.”

Kimahri was never the kind of guy to be selfish about anything or jealous about something.

He was not like me.

But when it came to this intimate moments that we both enjoyed... a possessive side of him came through without hesitation.

“It’s my personal pacifier,” he said, while lowering down and quickly teasing me with the tip of his large tongue.

“Hey,” I halted him seconds before he would devour my whole rod, “not fair, I want to play with mine too.”

And so, in no time I was tasting him just as he knew I enjoyed the most. In return he didn’t waste time and sucked my phallus deep into his throat.

“You taste so good,” he said, “do you mind if we enjoy the whole ride?”

How could I resist? He was so delicious, the scent of a Ronso has nothing to do with the smell of beasts like me. Kissing and feeding from this fledged manhood of Kimahri was like eating a freshly sliced grapefruit.

Pink and plump.

“This is the only food I need,” I said, “nothing but this mana of sweetness and quencher juice.”

Kimahri lost no time and dug his tongue into my tight bottom opening. He knew I was desperate to feel him deep inside me, so he was making sure to get me ready for the ride.

“You taste so sweet,” He whispered, “like always... can’t get enough of your manly flavor.”

I whimpered a bit, his plaits and tiny hairs were making tickles upon my loosened up hole.

“You make me loose my mind Beast,” he continued, “your taste, texture... everything.”

“So do you Kimahri,” I replied. How could I resist the most pure among men? “I love you. Can you feel it?”

With my manhole all damp, soft and slippery I was ready. This was the time to ask for his sweet seed and to pray for the Gods to make me the father of his Kinship.

“Please,” I begged, “make me yours. I want to feel you deep inside me I want to birth your Kin, I want to be with you forever.”

“Be careful what you wish for,” He replied in that angelic yet severe voice of his. “The gods might be listening.”

“Let them Hear us!” If I ever gave birth to Kimahri Ronso’s kindred then I would be a fulfilled man, father of fathers and husband to one of the most incredible creatures on earth.

“If that is so, then turn around and let me do the job.”

His grip was strong. Just as the alpha male he’s supposed to be.

Kimahri grabbed my penis with a tight grip again, in a thrust, his slid all the way into my center. I couldn’t help myself and released a loud moan full of pleasure.

“You enjoying yourself?” asked Kimahri.

“Yes-!” I barely managed to reply, without breath, feeling almost an immediate orgasm while his strong rod rubbed me inside and moved all my bowels.

Kimahri knew how to drive me crazy, a ride with him meant hours of mutual satisfaction. I liked to be treated gently, but he always made me enjoy the rough and hard.

...

I guess this is what love meant... otherwise, how would I enjoy something that once seemed barbarous to me?

“Please,” I begged again, “Do not stop, keep going-ngh, I p-promise to be a worthy father.”

Like this?”

“Yes!”

“You Like it?” Kimahri asked, “you’ll make me reach my climax if I keep going...”

“Finish inside, do your task and seed me.”

Kimahri took my request as an order and started thrusting his member against my wet asshole. I loved when he did this because all that manliness came out of him in a burst, dominating me and making me feel I would always be the only man in his life.

“NGH! AH! YES! Damn! You’ll make me cum too!”

Without even a warning, my body ejected ten days of stored fluids, they shot directly into the air, landing upon my chest and staining my fur.

I didn’t cared much about it.

I knew Kimahri didn’t enjoyed cumming into my ass. He always came out.

This time was no exception.

Although I always wanted him to breed me every time we had this kind of intimate encounters... he rarely did.

“DAMN!”

Kimahri shot his load, he always liked bathing me in it, he never explained why.

Once I tried asking and all he could say was that he simply enjoyed marking me that way, so every beast-like creature in the world would know I was his.

I guess it’s the Ronso way of putting the ring on. Instead of actually marking my hand with a symbol of unity....

Not that I ever complained about it. I liked it after all. And besides, his seminal fluids tasted as good as his hole and his water.

“How am I ever going to be encinte and birth your sons... if you keep bolting the seed out of my male womb?”

“I’m sorry.” This was always his excuse.

“I’m not sure you mean it,” I replied. This time a bit disappointed yet understanding he wasn’t used to ejaculating inside my rump.

“We can always try it again,” he whispered.

“Do I have to pray to the Gods even harder?” I asked.

“But,“ Kimahri replied softly, “the Gods already responded my prayer...”

“Have they?”

“Indeed.” Kimahri held me with his arms and turned, lying upon my legs just as I lied upon his’. “They gave me you.”

Some times, after a long intercourse, Kimahri and I would be so tired that we simply would lay down and take a nap.

But this time was different.

We usually made love two or four times a day, not necessarily letting him penetrating me or him allowing me fill his hole with my juices. Our demonstrations of affection varied.

We had been traveling for almost a week and barely enjoyed some privacy, constantly switching ports and taking 15 minute naps at them. This was the first time in a while we managed to afford a private camarot, for just the two of us. No companions, no young couples sharing bunk beds, no stinky animals making us company.

Just us.

“All the rooms at first class are taken,” the receptionist said, “we have a spare camarot, a traveller cancelled last minute. It includes a large bed, pillows, night tables and a couple of seats. No shower or room service. You up for it guys?”

“It’s enough for us,” I replied right away. Just as long as we could have some silence during the night and a bed to share naked under the moon light.... This time we were not tired though. We had lots of stamina to deplete.

“So...” I started, “tell me...”

“What?”

“What is it like?”

“What is it like?” Kimahri wouldn’t help but to smirk a bit while trying to figure out my mind.

“You know,” I continued, “a Ronso Marriage Ceremony... Is it as glamorous as one of my french parties?”

Kimahri released a soft laugh. He used to talk of how the Ronso lived in the cold mountains, just with what they needed and making sure to protect what was left of their old customs.

After the fall of the religious empire, communities such as the Ronso had a hard time figuring out their new path.

“Is it something more romantic?”

“You want to make me laugh, right?”

“I’m just curious,” I said, “you always talk about your homeland... but you had never touched this topic before....”

“Well, if you insist...” he looked around, trying to figure out what time was it. “We still got a moment before landing, right?”

“I got no limits,” I replied, “I can stand this shot and many to come.

“All right, all right... I’ll talk.” Kimahri started telling me all about it. He was always meticulous, so he made sure I knew every detail there was to know.

“When two Ronoso fall in love with each other, and both wish to bond their life’s together, the couple must agree to their union and make a trip that tests the main roots that forge a relationship among our beliefs: the courage, the wisdom and faith in each other.

“They must travel atop Mt. Gagazet and stand still in unison for a whole year. This is meant to test their love and strengthen the bond between the couple.

“Once they reached the peak they have to survive the tough weather conditions throughout the year...”

“Surviving this task is a proof of the couple’s true love and a vow to the Gods of Old that protect Mt. Gagazet and the Ronso.”

“If the couple succeeds in demonstrating their bravery and expressing their true love to the Gods... it is said that, on one of those long, cold nights... the spirits of the mountain will commune and grant a blessing to the fortunate couple.”

“Otherwise... they never come back.”

“... that sounds scary”

“Indeed...”

”But we are not the case...

“Are we?”

Located in Ho Chi Minh City, Suoi Tien is Vietnam’s wacky Buddhist wonderland. It’s Vietnam’s weirdest amusement park and maybe the strangest in all of Asia. Suoi Tien is one of the coolest, most unusual, and most unique things to do in Ho Chi Minh City.

There are lots of rides and roller coasters, but the massive spectacles and displays make Suoi Tien special. The entrance fee to this sprawling theme park is less than $5 USD. And Suoi Tien is located only 40 minutes from the main tourist area of Ho Chi Minh City.

Suoi Tien is Vietnam’s wacky Buddhist wonderland Click To Tweet

Superficial Fun and Deep Cultural Heritage

This Massive Spectacle is just an ordinary decoration at Suoi Tien.

Suoi Tien mixes the superficial fun of an amusement park with the deep cultural heritage of Vietnam. In the spectacular and surreal mash-up of Suoi Tien, you’ll find:

Frivolous Roller Coasters, Carnival Games, and Junk Food

Serious Monuments to Ancient Vietnamese History

Tacky Harry Potter and Disney Knock-off Attractions

Inspiring and Original Buddhist Works of Art

Gaudy Haunted Houses and Waterparks

Real Functioning Buddhist Temples

Mini Ziplines

Giant Mythological Creatures

Suoi Tien may not make sense to us westerners, but it wasn’t designed for us. Suoi Tien was made by the Vietnamese for the Vietnamese. That’s the best thing about this theme park. It’s not the Vietnamese putting on a show for foreigners, appealing foreign tastes.

Suoi Tien is the Vietnamese putting on a show for other Vietnamese, appealing to Vietnamese tastes. The park is hugely popular. Millions of Vietnamese visit Suoi Tien every year. And that’s why it’s a cool lesson on contemporary Vietnamese culture, as well as a good time.

Best of all, you can enjoy some fantastic spectacles alongside locals. We try to give you a taste of its uniqueness in our photos. We leave out most the typical amusement park stuff. In our photos, we focus on the cultural and spiritual

In our photos, we focus on the cultural and spiritual spectacles but remember that all the temples and monuments are in the setting of a raucous amusement park.

Massive Buddha Sculpture

Avalokiteshvara Buddha at Suoi Tien

This Avalokiteshvara Buddha is 118 feet tall high, 59 feet wide. The statue has 15 faces and dozens of hands, symbolically posed. It is a very dramatic Buddhist monument, but there is a serene Bodhisativa atop the statue. He looks tiny up there but is almost 7 feet tall.

The Avalokiteshvara is sitting on the mythological Golden Turtle God of Vietnamese folklore.

Golden Turtle God with Magical Sword

The Golden Turtle God plays a decisive role in Vietnam’s founding myths. The Turtle God came from heaven and gave Vietnam’s founders a magical sword that won them victory over their enemies.

The Serene Side

This solemn Buddha is on the other side of the massive sculpture.

Meditating Buddha

Suoi Tien is an Amusement Park

Harry Potter Knock-off, Rock Wall, and Bumper Cars

Quick reminder. Suoi Tien also has typical rides and games in addition to awesome monuments of Buddhist and Vietnamese heritage.

Golden Unicorn Plaza

Mythic Golden Unicorns

Suoi Tien features many massive statues of mythological creatures. The Golden Unicorns are some of the best. Yes, these huge golden creatures are the “unicorns” to the Vietnamese.

Are they Growling or Laughing?

The plaza is designed to be a fun meeting place. The prime seats are right on and under the Golden Unicorns.

Refreshing!

These fountains are fun to play in, on hot Vietnamese days. There also many shade trees and pretty statues to enjoy while relaxing.

Gold Maitreya

At the other end of the plaza is a Maitreya Buddha on a gold boat. That space is often used for concerts and dance performances.

Dragon Dance Performance

Dragon Head Temple

There’s a Real Temple in this Dragon Head.

Long Hoa Thien Bao Pagoda is largest and most impressive temple at Suoi Tien. It is a functioning temple where park visitors come to pray, light incense, and sometimes chant.

Elaborate Gate to Dragon Head Temple

The gate to the temple is as elaborate, beautiful, and symbolic as anything inside.

Temple Grounds

Resting by the Dragon

The temple grounds are full gorgeous Buddhist art that serve a spiritual purpose.

The Altars of Dragon Temple

The temple is vast. There are 3 large altars, 2 small ones, and numerous relics. The ceiling is a large dome painted to look like the heavens.

Hip Buddhist Statues – View From Dragon’s Mouth

Dozens of statues fill the temple, including several monks with interesting poses and facial expressions. The view looking out the dragon mouth was very cool, especially the way the tip of the tongue comes up.

Zodiac Palace

Us Sitting On Our Zodiac Animals – Rat and Tiger

The Zodiac Palace was beautiful and eerie. The 12 animals of the Asian zodiac are arranged in a big circle. We couldn’t resist getting pics of ourselves on our representative animals.

Vanessa was born in the year of the Tiger. Steve was born in the year of the Rat.

Dragon, Monkey, and Pig

3 of the coolest looking statues were the dragon, monkey, and pig.

Bodhisattva Square

Bodhisattva Buddha made of Pure Granite

This Bodhisattva Buddha monument is 89 feet tall, including the globe and stand. The Buddha alone is 40 feet tall and weighs 628 tons. It is made of pure white granite.

The reverent yet carnivalesque atmosphere is clear in these photos. The white building is the hokey snow castle.

Massive Mythological Creatures of Vietnam

400 meter Dragon – Dragon Eggs

The dragon is the central figure of Vietnamese mythology. There are several around Suoi Tien. This is the largest. It’s 400 meters long which represents the 4000-year history of Vietnam.

This dragon winds around the park. You can see the green scaly body in many other photos here. At the dragon’s tail, there are eggs representing the prosperous future of Vietnam.

Turtle-Dragon Hybrid

Zipline, Rope Bridge, and Entrance in Turtle-Dragon Haunted House

The Turtle-Dragon houses large haunted house ride. The Turtle-Dragon lake is a hub for other activities: rope bridge, zipline, and swan paddle boats.

“Giant Peacock”

“Vietnamese Unicorn”

The Vietnamese unicorn is very different from the western version.

Nine-Headed Dragon

Parade of Mythological Creatures

Crocodile Kingdom

Figures of Ancient Vietnamese History and Legends

Saint Giong Riding His Iron Horse to Heaven

Giong was a historical figure from 1700BC! In the legend, Giong was a deaf and lame child of 3 when he learned that there were foreign invaders. He magically transformed into a grown man and fought off the invaders. Afterward, Giong refused fortune and fame. Instead, he went up to Soc Son Moutain and rode off to heaven on his iron horse.

This is one of Vietnam’s oldest and most cherished legends. The village of Phu Dong was the ancient birthplace of Saint Giong. It still exists today and holds an annual festival for Saint Giong around May.

Vietnam’s Legendary Women Warriors

The Trung sister’s defended Vietnam from invaders around 40AD. They ruled for about 3 years, but have been fundamental figures of national pride for almost 2000 years.

Temple of Hung Kings

This functioning temple celebrates the ancient Hung Kings and ancestral rice farming culture of Vietnam that dates back 4000 years.

Ancient Hung Kings Still Very Popular

These ancestors are ancient but extremely popular with today’s Vietnamese. The Hung Kings temple has a steady stream of visitors lighting incense, praying, and taking selfies.

The walls and ceiling are lined with ornate carvings depicting scenes of the ancient ancestors.

Other Buddhist Monuments and Decorations

No Rollercoasters Until You Light Your Incense

There are literally hundreds of Buddhist statues, iconography, symbols all over the park. Some are minor exhibits, but most are simply decorations that create a very unique and interesting ambiance for an amusement park.

Temple of the 3 Blessings

Giant Severed Hand?

These are just a few examples.

Famous Buddhist Saints at Entrance

Even at the very entrance, the “mascots” of this theme park are famous Buddhist saints and ancient teachers.

Waterpark

Vietnamese Mt. Rushmore?

Oh yeah, and there’s a big waterpark with an ancient emperor’s head carved on huge mountain.

Suoi Tien is fun and amazing. In additional to all the other marvelous things to see, you can watch kids pray and light incense at altar, then run off to eat cotton candy and ride a mechanical dragon.

You can see how much the Vietnamese revere their 4000-year-old spiritual heritage. AND you can see that they don’t mind if that heritage is used for financial gain and superficial fun.

Suoi Tien is not an “authentic” experience like the ancient temples of Hue, but it is a window on the contemporary culture of this fascinating country.

Vietnam’s Wacky Buddhist Wonderland

Address:

120 Hanoi Highway Tan Phu Ward District 9, HCMC

‘15. Items every equestrian needs in their stable bag’

Author: Annalise Wagner

Ah the stable bag. A large backpack that accompanies the equestrian on their journey to the stable and back! ...But what should be in it?

Above everything, a stable bag should contain a full name, horses name and list of emergency numbers to call, including what vet and farrier you use!

Here is a list of the top 15 items we recommend for your stable bag!

1. Helmet

The helmet is quite possibly one of the most essential items on this list.

Helmets save lives. Your helmet should be up to date with the current safety standards and should contain rider's full name, horses name and emergency contacts written somewhere inside it for safety purposes!

We use the Samshield Shadow Matte.

2. Gloves

Another essential item! Whilst it’s nice to ride without gloves- sometimes that’s not an option! Especially in winter! Generally a softer glove, that won’t constrict your movement ability is preferred!

We use the HKM (limited edition) Queens gloves.

3. Spare pair of riding socks

We always get caught out on this! On the days we forget a spare pair of riding socks, the socks we are wearing at the time generally get soaked with water. Coincidence? Or perhaps the stable god's sending a hidden message? Either way, a spare pair of riding socks makes it on our top 15.

We use the HKM horse print riding socks.

4. Water

Did you know that about 60% of an adult human body is made up of pure water? We NEED water to survive, and when you partake in a sport like horse riding, you sweat. This reduces your hydration and could make you sick if you leave it for too long! Make sure you always take a bottle of water with you and stay hydrated!

We use Mt Franklin water

5. AntiBacterial Wipes

Yes, I know. An equestrian shouldn’t be afraid to get their hands dirty. However, just incase the stable bathrooms don’t have any soap before you eat or after you visit the toilet- keep some antibacterial wipes on hand!

We use grapefruit and mint antibacterial wipes.

6. Lipbalm

Trust me, your pony does not want a kiss on their nose if you have chapped lips (Haha!) However in all seriousness, chapped lips are a pain, and unless soothed, can get worse and worse. Save yourself the pain and keep lipbalm in your stable bag!

We use House Of Horse Equestrians Lipbalm.

7. Pocket Tissues

We are pretty sure the person who came up with the name for hay fever was an equestrian. Whilst that is probably very inaccurate, fact is that the stables is a very dusty place. Chances are you may sneeze during the day. Avoid embarrassment. Keep tissues on hand.

8. Tack Charm

Okay so whilst this isnt a necessity, accessorising your horse in a cute little charm is great fun! Tack charms are super adorable and affordable too! Always great to keep a spare on hand incase you forget someones birthday!

We use Nickerknots.

9. Spare change

Have you ever driven past McDonalds, literally starving on the way home only to realise you have no cash with you? We certainly have, and trust me, It’s the saddest feeling in the world!

10. Cap

Caps are multi-purpose to an equestrian! They can hide your awful case of helmet hair AND they can protect you from harmful sun rays in summer!

We use Robin Ruth ‘München cap.

11. HorsePLAY

For those moments when you don’t actually have anything to do at the stables, here is a fantastic educational game that you can play on your own or with your friends at the stables! I have personally spent hours playing this game!

We use HorsePLAY game.

12. Bailing Twine Cutter

How many times have you been caught out in the feedroom, unable to find something sharp enough to slice the bailing twine on your new fresh hay bale. Keep a twine cutter on you to avoid scenarios like this!

We use Bailing Twine Cutter.

13. Shampoo infused sponge

These things are neat! Sweaty horse after a hard ride? The shampoo infused sponge is both shampoo and a sponge in one. It makes washing your horse so much easier- and they smell great!

We use Mrs Conn’s Bath Day.

14. Hoof pick

Another essential! You simply can not equestrian without a hoof pick, however they seem to be the first grooming item to lose! Keep one handy incase the one in your grooming kit has mysteriously wandered off!

We use HKM hoof pick with brush (And anti slip handle).

15. Stable Bag

Your trusted stable bag must be sturdy and able to withstand whatever the stables throws at it! The stable bag must also contain many pockets and ‘holders’ so you can store all your belongings and keep them organised!

We recommend Samshield Iconpack.

So that’s it, our top 15 recommended items you need in your stable bag!

What do you keep in your stable bag currently?

What of these items do you already use?

We would love to hear from you! Be sure to share this with a friend too! Sharing is caring!

Tagged by the inimitable @sl-walker, I present to you:

TWENTY FACTS

about me: Nic!

The facts I’m about to reveal are not at all influenced by the ones sl-walker did

1. I wanted to be a volcanologist as a kid. It was one of my earliest obsessions, and I was especially enamoured with the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. I was finally able to make it to Pompeii in 2007, and it was a dream nearly twenty years in the making come true. I wish I had had more time to explore; I’ll make it back one of these days.

2. I tend to mimic accents as I hear them. I don’t mean to, but it happens (and now I live in an area with a very distinctive accent, so it’s kind of ridiculous), although I never really fell in with the St Louis accent (where I was born and raised), which tends to be a bit nasal and ORs magically become ARs (”I lived off highway farty-far a majarity of my life”).

3. I was selected to be in the choir of the Missouri Ambassadors of Music in 2002, which basically meant I got to go bum around Europe for a couple weeks and sing in empty churches with a slew of people from all around Missouri. Our time in Austria marked the first time I got slightly drunk in memory (two-year-old me apparently got sloshed on the last warm dregs from Budweiser bottles revelers left on the pool deck at a party. Pure class).

4. I used to draw and write every single day. Not so much these days. I should really get back on that.

5. I was held up at gunpoint in 2009 while sitting on my front stoop in St Louis. Consequently, I’ve no real desire to interact with revolvers again (I thought I was cool, but a month or so after I got robbed, I was riding around with my dad and he asked me to get something out of the glove box, and a gun came tumbling out when I opened it, and I was just <=o. So, yeah, not as chill as I thought). I crashed at my friend’s place that night, and we had an awesome photo shoot in which we dressed up as Soviet soldiers, and I played the world’s smallest violin for my plight.

6. I was at Game 5 of the 2006 World Series in which the Cardinals won =D =D =D. I slept on the outfield at Busch Stadium that year as well (and I went to Opening Day, too). That was the year that Ozzie Smith sat down next to me at the bar, we chatted, and he said “[I] really knew [my] baseball.”

7. I’m wicked good with years (like knowing when things occurred, as well as when movies and music were released). It comes in terribly handy at trivia.

8. I lived in London when I was 20. I moved there knowing no one, with just a suitcase and $2000 in traveller’s cheques, which didn’t go terribly far since the exchange rate was awful for someone coming from the US (but I fully recognise it’s a lot more money than most people have), and it was the best thing I’ve done for myself, while also being among the worst because I think I’m constantly trying to recapture the feeling I had there - the freedom, the possibility. I’ve been kind of restless since, which is also a good and bad thing.

9. I can pop my limbs out of socket. Though my thighs don’t disengage from my hips quite like they used to, I regularly sit with my arms out of socket.

10. When I was little, I thought you pretty much got to choose if you became a man or a woman. Like, I pretty much thought that if I wanted it hard enough, I could magically grow a dick as I got older. That, or in my next incarnation, I’d be a boy, and I couldn’t wait.

11. When I was about five or so, my mum was watching me in the bath and had to pee. It was the first time I’d seen pubes, and I was aghast. “WHAT HAPPENED?! WHY DO YOU HAVE HAIR THERE?!” “It happens when you get older.” “That’s gross. It won’t happen to me.” “It will.” “No, it won’t. I won’t let it.” I was also very determined that I would not grow boobs.

I grew giant boobs, and I have pubes. Life has been a continual disappointment to little Nic’s expectations of her body.

12. My first vague memory is of my Aunt Cheryl giving me a stool with my name in removable blocks on it when I was about one. More concretely, I remember when my brother was born when I was two, going to see him at the hospital, and calling him “baby doctor”.

13. When I was about four or five, we lived with my grandparents while we were building a house, and my grandfather would take us around the yard (which was huge - about five acres - and full of hills). There was a tree in the front yard where I decided Alvin & the Chipmunks lived. There was a large stump in the back, my grandfather pointed it out to me, and said, “That’s where I found you.” Found me? What? I hadn’t been lost recently. I hadn’t been round that stump with Grandpa before. What did he mean? He told me a tale of a dark and stormy night, and him finding a large egg sat on that stump, which he brought inside, kept warm, and a bit later out I hatched. I was livid. “I DIDN’T HATCH!” “Yes, you did. Like a little birdie” “NO! I’M NOT A BIRD, I’M A PERSON!!!!”

I don’t necessarily know what that proves or means in my development, but I feel it’s indicative of something.

14. My first car was a 1995 T-Top Camaro. There was a lot of space behind the backseat that served no real purpose, so I would decorate it seasonally. I loved the fuck out of that car, but, sadly, it was totalled in a head-on collision in January of 2001. I’ve had my current car since April 2001.

15. Speaking of decorating things seasonally, for high school graduation, my friend gave me a life size Fabio standup, so when we moved into an apartment together two years later, Fabio came along. We’d dress him up for every holiday, and he would stand guard in front of the sliding glass door that led onto a small deck. Every time we would leave the apartment and walk in the alley that deck overlooked, we’d glance up, see Fabio’s silhouette, and it’d scare the ever-living fuck out of us. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

16. In 2006, I had an apartment with two of my friends, and, upon hearing Pluto had been demoted, we decided to drink to its memory on the fire escape. We sang songs for it, but our neighbours didn’t appreciate our form of mourning and called the cops on us.

17. I get a lot of compliments on my hair colour, but I’ve never been overly fond of it myself.

18. I was in a band in high school, and we made the cover of the local alternative weekly (The Riverfront Times, or RFT as it’s now known). They put a copy of it in my high school’s trophy case my senior year. I doubt it’s still there, but it was nice to walk by it on the way to lunch and be like, ‘dat me’.

19. I’m a published poet. I even got a trophy for my shitty little scrawl.

20. If I’ve not been drinking, I sleep four hours like clockwork.

#This is me #meme #my childhood!

Electric Scooter in Hyderabad | Pureev

The story began with PURE Yes PURE! Pure EV is the manufacturer of electric scooters, e-bikes & electric bicycles in India which is incubated by IIT Hyderabad. PURENERGY acronym stands for Power Using Renewable Energy and faithful its name ever since its genesis at IIT Hyderabad, the corporate has focused on enabling transition to sustainable energy sources. Energy storage technology has been a key area of experience for the corporate etrance plus. The firm has executed hybrid solar storage projects for several prestigious business groups, Universities, Hospitals, Residential Communities, NGOs and Schools. the corporate management team brings significant experience from academia and energy industry. The company made raid manufacturing of electrical two-wheeler under the brand “PURE EV” and high-performance Lithium batteries under the brand “PURE Lithium”. the corporate has been funded by visionary from Pharma industry Shri V C Nannapaneni. the corporate has setup a fanatical 40,000 sqft manufacturing unit and is ready to become one among the leading EV startups of India in times to come! the corporate is concentrated on building products that's beloved by the mass consumer and building a trustworthy name in EV and ESS business verticals. Electric motorcycles and scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels. The electricity is stored on board during a rechargeable battery, which drives one or more electric motors. Neo electric scooter (as distinct from motorcycles) have a step-through frame. History The early history of electrical motorcycles is somewhat unclear. On 19 September 1895, a application for an "electrical bicycle" was filed by Ogden Bolton Jr. of Canton Ohio. On 8 November of an equivalent year, another application for an "electric bicycle" was filed by Hosea W. Libbey of Boston. At the Stanley Cycle Show in 1896 in London, England, bicycle manufacturer Humber exhibited an electrical bicycle-built-for-two pure ev etrance plus. Powered by a bank of storage batteries, the motor was placed ahead of the rear wheel. Speed control was by a resistance placed across the handlebars. This electric bicycle was mainly intended for racetrack use. The October 1911 issue of Popular Mechanics mentioned the introduction of an electrical motorcycle. It claimed to possess a variety of 75 miles (121 km) to 100 miles (160 km) per charge. The motorcycle had a three-speed controller, with speeds of 4 miles (6.4 km), 15 miles (24 km) and 35 miles (56 km) per hour In 1919, Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies made a prototype electric motorcycle during which the batteries were fitted under the seat of the sidecar. albeit the vehicle was registered for road use, it never went past the trial stage. In 1936, the Limelette brothers founded an electrical motorcycle company called Socovel (Société pour l’étude et la Construction de Véhicules Electriques or Company for research and manufacture of electrical vehicles) in Brussels. They continued production during the German occupation with their permission. thanks to fuel rationing, they found a point of success. But after the war, they switched to standard models. the electrical models remained available until 1948. During war II, compelled by fuel rationing within the us , Merle Williams of Long Beach , California invented a two-wheeled electric motorcycle that towed a single-wheeled trailer. thanks to the recognition of the vehicle, Williams started making more such vehicles in his garage. In 1946, it led to the formation of the Marketeer Company (current-day ParCar Corp.). 1950 to 1980 In 1967, Karl Kordesch, working for Union Carbide, made a fuel cell/Nickel–cadmium battery hybrid electric motorcycle. it had been later replaced with a hydrazine cell , giving it a variety of 200 miles (320 km) per gallon and a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). In the same year, a prototype electric motorcycle called the Papoose, was built by the Indian Motorcycle Company under the direction of Floyd Clymer. In 1974, Auranthic Corp., alittle manufacturer in California, produced alittle motorcycle called the Charger. It had a 30 mph (48 km/h) and a 50 miles (80 km) range on a full charge. In the early 1970s, Mike Corbin built a street-legal commuter electric motorcycle called the Corbin Electric. Later in 1974, Corbin, riding a motorbike called the fast Silver, set the electrical motorcycle speed record at 165.387 mph (266.165 km/h). The motorcycle used a 24-volt electric starter from a Douglas A-4B fighter plane. In 1975, Corbin built a battery-powered prototype street motorcycle called the town Bike. This motorcycle used A battery manufactured by Yardney Electric. In June 1975, the primary Annual Alternative Vehicle Regatta was held at Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. The event was created and promoted by Charles McArthur, an environmentalist. On June 17, Corbin's motorcycle completed the 8 miles (13 km) uphill course in 26 minutes. The 1980s to 2000s In 1988, Ed Rannberg, who founded Eyeball Engineering, tested his electric drag motorcycle in Bonneville. In 1992, the January issue of Cycle World carried a piece of writing about Ed Rannberg's bike called the KawaSHOCKI. It could complete 1 / 4 mile (0.25 miles (400 m)) in 11–12 seconds. In 1995, Electric Motorbike Inc. was founded by Scott Cronk and Rick Whisman in Santa Rosa, California. In 1996, EMB Lectra was built by Electric Motorbike Inc., which used a variable reluctance motor. It had a top speed of about 45 mph (72 km/h) and a variety of 35 miles (56 km). About 100 of those were built. In 1996, the primary mass-produced electric scooter, Peugeot Scoot'Elec, was released. It used Nickel-Cadmium batteries and a variety of 40 km (25 mi).

私の日本旅行記-8 (平成三十年)

7月29日- July 29

I took JR from Osaka to Yoshihara station.

私はJRで大阪から吉原駅まで行きました。

Then I took this little train to my friend’s place. This train is a traditional Japanese train provides people with the unique way of viewing Fuji city.

それから、電車で友達のところに行きました。この電車は伝統的な電車で、富士市を観光することができます。

There was a spot in the train station for people to see Mt. Fuji.

駅には、富士山を見るビュースボットがありました。

The view from this spot. I could see the little peak of Mt. Fuji.

ここからの眺め、富士山の頂上が少し見えました。

Festival version train. So cute!!

祭りバージョンの電車。可愛い！

Kousuke and his brother took me and Yuna to a park where people can see a better view of Mt. Fuji.

コウスケと彼の兄さんは私とユナさんを近くの公園に連れて行きました。そこは富士山がよく見えるところです。

Kousuke is the one on the right, and his brother is the one on the left.

右はコウスケです、左はお兄さんです。

Then we went to a temple where local people come here to get water from Mt. Fuji.

その後、地元の人たちが富士山の水を取れるお寺へ行きました。(法雲寺)

Unlike tap water with unpleasant chemical taste, Mt. Fuji water is just so pure and tasty. In addition, the minerals present in the water (calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc) provide vital nutrient for everyday health.

化学物質が入っているような水ではなく、富士山の水はとても綺麗でおいしいです。それに、この水には毎日の生活に必要な栄養素であるミネラルが含まれています。

Next, we went to a small temple close to Kousuke’s house.

次に、コウスケの家の近くの小さいお寺に行きました。

People can really find a peace here.

ここはとても静かでした。

At night, we had ramen together with Kousuke and Kousuke’s nephew.

夜、私たちはコウスケと彼の甥と一緒にラーメンを食べました。

I ordered “Champon”. Champon is made by frying pork, seafood and vegetables with lard.

私はちゃんぽんを注文しました。ちゃんぽんは豚肉、シーフード、野菜が入っています。

7月30日- July 30

The next day, we were heading to Mt. Fuji. (Route: 1. Fuji Station to Gotemba station via JR, 1hr. 2. Gotemba station to Fujikawaguchiko via local bus 1hr 30 mins. 3. Fujikawaguchiko to Fujisangogoume via local bus 1hrs 15 mins.)

次の日、私たちは富士山に行きました。(ルート:１JRで富士駅から御殿場駅まで、１時間くらい。２バスで御殿場駅から富士河口湖駅まで、１時間３０分くらい。３バスで富士河口湖駅から富士山五合目まで、１時間１５分くらい）

Arrived Fujisan Gogoume. Lots of tourists though.

富士山五合目に着いた。たくさんの観光客。

People can have a short horse ride here.

ここで少し馬に乗ることができます。

I mailed myself a postcard with a special Fuji stamp on it from Mt. Fuji.

私は特別な富士の切手が貼ってある葉書を富士山から出しました。

A shrine on Mt. Fuji.

富士山の神社。

There is a saying that if people could climb through the red tube, they’ll get good luck with health, safety, love, etc.

赤い筒を通ることができれば、健康、安全、縁結びなどに幸運をもたらすだろうという言い伝えがあります。

Start climbing Mt. Fuji at 8:30 pm. Hopefully to see the stunning sunrise at 4:00 am.

午後8時30分に登り始めました。綺麗な日の出を見れることを願っています。

We climbed up from the North side of the mountain (Yoshida trail).

私たちは山の北側（吉田ルート）から登った。

As we made the climb, we visited different stations to get our sticks stamped with the elevation and station number. Normally, it costs 300 yen.

登山のとき、それぞれの休憩所で焼印をしてもらえます。これには300円かかります。

People collect marks on the way up at each station.

登る途中の各休憩所で焼印を集められます。

Finally, we were on the top, right before 4:30 am, perfect timing for the sunrise.

やっと頂上に着きました。ちょうど4時30分前でした。日の出にいいタイミングでした。

Amazing!

すごい！

People who were not able to be on the top could still view the stunning sunrise.

頂上までたどり着けなかった人たちも綺麗な日の出を眺められました。

Yuna carried Goma-chan all the way to the top. People always made comments about how cute it is.

ユナはゴマちゃんを山頂まで運んだ。観光客はみんなかわいいと言っていました。

We made it! It was not as cold as I imagined. We were lucky since the weather was excellent.

やった！私が想像していたほど寒くなかったです。天気が良くで運が良かった。

And it’s time to climb down.

そして、下りる時が来ました。

We climbed down from the South (Gotemba- Hoei Crater trail).

私たちは南から下りました（御殿場 - 宝永山）。

Walking on the crater was really an unforgettable experience.

火口を歩いたことは、本当に忘れられない経験でした。

It was extremely exhausting and tiring after 16 hours of hiking. But is it worth climbing for? Definitely YES!

16時間のハイキング後、とても疲れました。でも、登る価値がありますか？絶対あります！

1. 難波、鳥貴族、ドンキホーテ

2. 神戸、奈良公園、東大寺、通天閣、四天王寺

3. 大阪城、奈良、若草山、梅田

4. 京都、祇园祭、清水寺、地主神社、着物

5. BE KOBE、神戸牛、六甲山

6. BBQ、お好み焼き、天神祭
