I'm up for it, depending on what our adoption situation is. Could literally change at any second. But feel free to pencil me in to act and/or narrate. smile

*looks at the instrument*

Y'know, it can't be *that* hard to make it with a wheel instead of a bow, right? Wouldn't be quite the same as a hurdy-gurdy, but also it pretty much would be.

BDA knows this soulful urge.

SUDDEN DOTY! tongue

Well, I added a bunch of stuff to the page, with a whole review mode for when you think you've got the info in your head!

Unfortunately it doesn't work on mobile yet, because the stupid mobile version of chrome (and other browsers) takes in the wrong key code, so I need to figure out how to get around that.

But, should work on your computer

Good question! For me personally, the app works about as well, although at this point it's honestly hard to keep looking at the text: I keep instinctively glancing away because that's so honed in my brain at this point big_smile that is to say I'm probably not a good test case because of how much I've practiced.

The real difference between this and printing/writing it out is that this is something you have to focus on, while having a printout means you can carry it everywhere and learn while doing something else.

My guess is for a beginner, it'd be a good idea to start with the app to get a good handle on the text, and then carry a card around for less focused practice.

By process you mean method? or reason for it? Or both?

I'll share what I shared in chat:

Sunday morning I sent out a nice little 'evite' to some friends of ours to "The Distant Social". The evite wasn't strictly necessary since we're all on 'text-any-time' terms, but it made it feel more intentional and special, which was nice. So yesterday evening 9 people got together: some friends in state, and some who've moved away.

Basically we all mixed our own drinks at home and used a group call on FB Messenger to chat and play a couple of party games that don't require physical presence. It was really neat and interesting that those out of state are now functionally the same communication 'distance' as those right down the road. I think this is the first time we've all been together since the first friend moved away two years ago tongue

If you can manage something like that with your peeps, it was really nice. And as Teague said, I'd be down for one here too if we can make the time zones work.

I did not, but I should have.

Besides, "binding" anything "in Jesus' name" has so much unbiblical junk in it conceptually, it's *particularly* joke-worthy tongue

It's so cute!

And honestly, back in the days of the original trilogy, they'd probably have made the droid with exactly the same materials tongue

Same!! The biker scene is gold. And I noticed how the show made sure that *both* troopers hit the Child. Otherwise we might have sympathy for them when IG murders them. Fuck those guys tongue

And,
Mandalorian: I'm not sad.
IG: Yes you are. I'm a nurse droid, I've analyzed your voice.


...was adorable

Same opinions re: the series. Great stuff.

But, uh, the idea of a dark lightsaber is stupid. Just saying hmm

Don't worry I'm sure the new good guy fleet will be powerful enough to take out the First Order's fleet

...oh wait, the First Order destroyers *don't* have 'one weird weakness' that enables a single fighter to take out the whole ship with a few BLASTER SHOTS. (seriously, Palps??)

I mean, they probably don't.
