• HelloChinese full review plus new lesson and Duolingo basic review
• HelloChinese two speaking exercises
• Polished Tang Shi #309, plus got #304 to literal prose though with some uncertainties -- will need more commentaries for this one (compacted language AND obscure references AND striking despite this = Li Shangyin spotted from several quatraines away)

Plus got a trampoline halfway assembled with the surprisingly helpful assistance of an almost-seven-year-old. Which isn't learning Chinese but is getting shit done.

Omake: posted #309. (Why didn’t I think to call these links omake before now? Lose my head next.)

Wrote a snippet. It was a long one and also an action scene and it kind of flowed (maybe theskywasblue was right), so that's good. Let's see what I think about it when I edit it two days from now.

Didn't draw, of course. But some day, dammit.
