All of the big stuff was moved today, despite a hellacious amount of rain.

So I recently found out that while "these ones" and "those ones" seem to be widely disliked by grammar people, there is actually not really authoritative evidence against them, while there's a fair bit of evidence in favor of their use in certain circumstances by current literary professors. Consider this: I am sitting next to a pile of assorted gummy bears and I point at one which happens to be red. If I then say "These are my favorite", it's possible that it could be taken to mean gummy bears as a whole. On the other hand if I say "These ones are my favorite", then that emphasizes that I am referring to a single category of gummy bears (of which there are multiple instances). The "ones" isn't redundant any more than the "one" in the phrase "this one" is redundant, but rather serves as a further qualifier. It's also apparently been used that way for hundreds of years now, with usage by notable literary people going all of the way back to the 1600's (it even shows up several times in the King James Bible).

So take that grammar people! I've been right in my use of "these ones" and "those ones" all along, despite the fact that you may not like the way that it works!

Resisting the grand grammar nazi regime was a fatal mistake. You will be corrected. Violently.

Owlga is legit massive animu, poi.

She keeps asking me about "Fate of lolis"

Ahahah; I'm pretty sure you've shown her the 'fate of lolis' a few times.

It was good for a hundred hours, but I'm gonna get out of here now.

... Get out of here STALKER.

As a registered Grammar Nazi, I would like to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the phrase "these ones".

Well, at that point it's kinda more an honour thing than having any actual reason to set off the Grammar Nazi alert.

In honor of the wedding tomorrow, I spent the day firing guns, drinking beer, playing board games, and eating pizza, all on somebody else's dime. Also, silly-expensive MtG draft (a box of MM15 and a box of Conspiracy, 2 packs of each; as payment for the outrageous amount of driving I did to ferry people around, I keep some of what wasn't drafted).

Spotted a death's head hawkmoth in my garden! Eeee!

I am way too excited about this.

But still, death's head hawkmoth!

Death's Head Hawkmoth sounds like either a death metal band or a Dark Eldar hovertank. Pretty metal either way.

It's literally a big moth with a skull pattern on its back, it's already naturally pretty damn metal.

You may know it from the cover/poster of the book/movie "Silence of the Lambs".

* Tiruin has done a lot of pixel art!

...Now to just jump over the mile wide gap of anxiety to upload them where they're due. >_>

<sub>Maybe Tomorrow.

...Maybe Tomorrow.
...Just like everything else I promise...</sub>

But happy thing is they're done, too.
