I had considered filtering this post, but it could also be an open debate. Daria, Torunn, and anyone else considering taking or having any interest in art history, what interests you about art and art history? What do you wish to learn? What aspects or themes, across the swath of history we cannot hope to entirely cover in a single course, do you wish to explore? What art do you like today that you would like to see the roots of?

Art has been with us a long time, and though we may only see bits and pieces of the most ancient works here, we can appreciate today the wide array of human creativity. We can see it from the highest masterpieces to book and album covers, even in the graphic design we see all around us.

Well, I went to a used car lot looking for a car to get, and I ended up finding something else instead.

It needs some work, and I still need to decide what kind of food I want to use it for, but owning my own food truck has always been something that sounds really cool. I just need to look into permits, costs of running it, that sort of thing.

...Might have been of an impulsive decision, but why not do something that I love while I'm here? I like cooking at the Crashdown, but it'll be so much cooler to run my own place.

It's been a few days but I didn't see any rush on announcing my return. See things have changed a bit here in Tumbleweed since my last visit. Can't say I'm terribly surprised by it given the way things operate. Still, the town rearranging itself did give me just as much pause as it growing in size last year.

Not sure who is here that I made acquaintance with previously but I'll go ahead and reintroduce myself. Names Ethan Chandler.

For those who are not already regulars and familiar with the Howlett Gym schedule, I teach a class in nonmagical defense against magic, a particular specialty of mine and one that I would argue is exceptionally useful in a place like this. It is open anyone, including magical folk, who can alternate between magical sparring and nonmagical sparring, to help others practice and to learn the skills themselves to fight without their magic.

In fact, I would greatly appreciate more magic folk joining in, to give students a wide range of types of magic to learn to defend themselves against. Alina helps me regularly with her light magic, but as she is not allowed to actually cut anyone in half, she sometimes gets bored with blinding people.

If you have an ability that is technically non-magical but makes you more powerful than the average person, I might be willing to work you in as well. Let me know if you're interested, and we can discuss your abilities beforehand so that I can formulate a lesson plan. This has always been on a volunteer basis, or rather you would be considered a regular participant in the class; however, I might be willing to pay a few people out of my own pocket if they bring important skills to the table, especially since I know money is a concern for everyone right now. If that's something you're interested in, we can discuss it further, and of course the gym owner, Laura, would have to sign off on it as well.

The class meets Monday through Friday, 4 PM - 5:30 PM. I hope to see you there.

Next order of business... there's a lot going on. Clearly. But I feel like we - as in the community - could benefit from an evening of being social. Where people can mingle and exchange thoughts on jobs and what they may do here now that we're in Texas.

And since the pool is here, it only makes sense that I combine the slumber party I wanted with a pool party. Thoughts?

It's strange going to sleep on the boat and waking up in my old bed at the farm. The same farm that burned down back home. I've searched every inch of the property and it's definitely the family farm. Even the barn is here. ~~At least there aren't any Walkers~~ All the plants I found while on the boat are on the porch, so I should plant a garden now that I've got a place to make one.

We should find someone to make our documents for us, since they aren't here. While that's being taken care of, I think we should set up security around the farm. I don't want to take any chances.
