1-2 tonight. 5 bingos, but my highest scoring word was SILK for 99. I lost a turn to CASEITY* which I thought was the state of being cheesy like how gassy is to GASEITY. I have an opportunity to play a tourney next month. Maybe I should start getting good again.

Senra is dead. 2nd half of a fuckin hard level of Tortured Souls 3. By RZRider_

0-3 tonight. the last game I mistracked Deen and gave him an out bingo of (M)EDICANT. I thought he had NICTATE(D) or TETANIC. I couldn’t block both so I blocked one of them. Oops! Matt had BONDAGES 2x2 for 98, then QUOTIENT 2x2 for 118 in b2b turns. Shafique got a late bingo too and good defence.

Experienced some nature today

2-1 tonight. I wanted to play SPOUTIEr instead of POUTIESt and take all the points for the triple-triple there but I wasn't sure. I did chicken out on IMPLE(A)CH, and I chickened out on A(BORD) which enabled me to play AWAI(T)ING. So lots of sloppy mistakes tonight. 5 bingos.

Been scrapping my way through Tortured Souls 3. This Dragon King guy went down tonight. Let's just say it took a few tries. :-D feels good getting this part of the game done though.

3-0 tonight. The top players were away. I ended up playing Shaf twice and Deen once. The final game I came back from. 64-200 with 4 bingos to clutch it out 482-443. HAIRNeTS TOLIDINE UNBEATEN CoLLAGeN ECHINATE LEAKERS EGOTIST STUDDed. 5 blanks again.

2-1 tonight. Got away with MORAI* thinking of MORIA which Deen used the M to phony with MORPHOSE for 102. I had 2 blanks on my rack and had him on hold for 10m. I figured I could outrun with ReFUTeD so I let the phony go. Drew 💩 against Matt. Eked out a narrow win against Heidi.

Ever since switching to an Ikape conical portafilter my target weight of coffee beans is 16.66g instead of 18g. I’m pulling shots of a Colombian light roast these days. Happy Goat: Finca San Gabriel. It’s magically ominous on days where I pour exactly 16.66g first try, when one bean is ~0.1g

2-1. Things were looking good until I got destroyed by Matt. LEDGERS DIRTIEr DONEGAL# iNNERVE PENtAGON and TILERIES# were my bingos. I knowingly phonied out with UNWIDENS* instead of playing UNWINDS because I was already toast. Also got away with ENT* in game one. Oops!

7 bingos. RASSLED TaNGeLO dRUMLIN COARSENS PERaCUTE INGESTS IMpERIAL. PERACUTE does not take S. I should have challenged. 5/6 blanks drawn but only 2-1. Shafique would not stop scoring. :-)

So I was streaming kaizo. Newcomer in chat. I and my chat just can’t quite tell if it’s a bot. At one point, the entity types names of random cars. Maybe one a minute. Like “Ford Aerostar”. My entire chat erupts typing “Honda CRX”, “Subaru Crosstrek” etc. It was both hilarious and surreal 🤣.

3 wins and a tie tonight. Normally I play 3 games, but I needed to play two boards at once for the final round because we were odd. I had a very hot drawing hand today and had a bingo-palooza. RATIFIED PUNNETS CANIEST# DEVONIAN WANDEROO EVERTED DENARII ESTRANGE EVIDENCE and IODINES. Average 478!

'Mario the Godkiller', 7½" x 9½", 2026, watercolor and gouache, framed #watercolor #watercolorart now available at www.jomyjomy.com I recently beat a Super Mario World romhack, Tortured Souls 2, by RZRider. It was really difficult and well made. The final bossfight took me just 10 hours. This is it!

'Peacock', 8" x 11", 2026, watercolor and gouache, framed #watercolor #watercolorart now available at www.jomyjomy.com

2-1 tonight. Great tiles. High scores. averaged 476 tonight. One game featured a triple-triple CAROLING followed by a nine letter bingo SUMMATI(ON). I forgot to put SUMMATION on my bingo list oops.

Don't forget (not that you would anyway!) later today we have the live final of the NASPA Scrabble Championships coming live from Cedar Rapids. Best of 5 games, Josh vs Austin, link below. Meanwhile over on NASPAScrabble channel will be the NWL final, Orry vs Mack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4p9...

1-2 again tonight. Just 4 bingos, not great tiles, and 2 world class opponents. Great games! The only thing I did wrong against Adam was leave the blank in the bag. I had to play BR(I)TT to stop RETINE(N)e/INTER(N)Ee. Adam's going to be gone for a bit, so it was good to play him before he goes.

I painted this raw wood Scrabble board for Jackson Smylie this weekend. You might be able to find him on Facebook: “Jack Smylie” or Insta: “jacksonsmylie”. Obvs the game board inlay needs to be added. My work here is done. This board will be up for sale by him eventually. :-)

The reason your train was delayed.

1-2 tonight. didn't draw well against Sue. Played RUGELACH for 98 missing ARCHLUTE for 194 vs Matt. Then finally had a 3 bingo win vs Chris. Was still fun. Good to see both Jason and Sue at the Ottawa club tonight.
