I just joined 15minuteficlets.

It's a writing exercise community. Once a week we get one word, or one picture, and we have fifteen minutes from the time we first see that word in which to write about that word/pic.

The idea is to then post your fic in your LJ and link to it in a comment on the original word, or else to put the ficlet into a comment.

Anyway, that's a long and complicated way of saying I took fifteen minutes and tried to bang out some Calvin. It's a little lumpy since I've never tried to write about him before, just play him. Also, it ran headlong into my current baking hobby of sourdough, since the word for this week?
