A Persian Wish

Hello friends. Normally, this would be a super-happy time of year. It’s Norooz, the Persian new year. It’s a time for partying and dancing and eating loads of yummy things. But, of course, we have this terrible disease putting a very big damper on our good time. So I want to give you a little something. The sexiness will return soon, but for now, enjoy my attempt at Persian calligraphy with some lines from Hafez. It translates something like this:

Sweet singing bird, survive until the spring, and then

You’ll tread on grass again, deep in the flowers’ shade,

do not despair

(translation by Dick Davis)

Norooz mobarak, darlings.

Nastaliq style calligraphy with a little drawing of a songbird.
گر بهار عمر باشد باز بر تخت چمن
چتر گل در سر کشی ای مرغ خوشخوان غم مخور

Conan Exiles: Debaucheries of Derketo Part 1

Hi sweeties! Yes, I’m still deeply absorbed in Conan Exiles. I recently purchased a DLC pack named Debaucheries of Derketo. Yes, it’s all about hosting a party where loads of sexy fun can happen. There’s a lot of content, including just about everything you need to build a bustling tavern. I’m just going to focus on the wearable items, but even so, I’m going to need a few posts.

I’ll start with the skimpiest offering. (That’s what you’re after, isn’t it, darlings?) It’s the bejeweled dancer set, and it’s basically just gold and turquoise. Looks great on me, if I do say so myself.

  • The whole shebang, you might say.
  • A top-down view of the bejeweled circlet and top.
  • A 3/4 view, so you can get a better look at the bracelet.
  • The rear view. Isn’t that leg chain divine?
  • A view up my chest jewels. They hang so nicely, don’t they?
  • Mwah! Bye for now, sweetie.

Claus in Color

I finally got around to giving my Mrs. Claus drawing a dash of color. I just bought a big set of Crayola colored pencils (I know, I’m a big kid, but their products are actually darn good) and couldn’t wait to get doodling. Anyway, here she is. I hope I did her justice.
