izmeina | The Real Black Friday

This snailish serpent still hasn't got back in the habit of squiggling.

So many distractions.

Sitting in the garden sniffing Angel's Trumpet flowers or watching the rainbow lorikeets squawking while feasting on the nectar rich bottlebrush flowers, slinking in Cyberia or even doing a Putz Blitz like this evening when I nuked a bunch of old newspapers and sorted piles of books.

I didn't do anything special for this real Black Friday (no time for that fake November nonsense)

The other serpent temptation is Duolingo.

I'm a sucker for the Early Bird and Night Owl freebies as well as the biggie - 60 minutes of Happy Hour on Saturday. Needless to say, I use up lots of 15 minute double points specials to max out the 5 extra points per lesson.

I've managed to team up with the Cat a lot lately in the weekly Friends Quests.

But thanks to the magical Jail House Jackpot that has turned up 3 times this week, I can clock up points at almost Criminal rates.

If the Jail house lesson revision or the even juicier Federation Jackpot turns up tomorrow, I'll be busy clocking up 50 point scores for 20 second lessons

For some strange reason, these honeypots are only available in Russian for English speakers.

I'm sure other languages have such perks but I've yet to find any.

I'm still plodding along with the music lessons but I've been in Zombie mode so much the last 6 weeks that I'm doing them a lot less lately. Not helped by their pissy points count.

Timed lessons is another thing not suited for zombie mode.

I'm now off to the serpent sack.
