I sat down tonight to assemble chapter one of Grave Thoughts, and got myself thoroughly confused and frustrated. I didn’t keep track of which drawings correspond to which line of dialog, and I think I’m either way ahead or way behind. I’ll probably have to work my way backwards from the end. All because I […]

Still busy. Still watching anime (more Beck and an episode of Noein). Made a cake tonight, and assembled more of Grave Thoughts chapter 1. And that’s time-consuming (the comic), but it’s a new skill for me. Unlike anything I’ve done before. So, probably useful in the future. Or not. In some ways, I think it’s […]

Busy week. On a whim, I picked up the latest issue of Fine Gardening, and got inspired by an article on front entrances. So, I’ve been working on my front yard, adding plants and generally improving it. The article advises that you treat your front walk almost like a series of hypnotic suggestions. You step […]

A respite from Thor’s Hammer of Heat: a storm blew in and dropped the temperature by twenty degrees or so around lunchtime. It’s positively beautiful outside, except for the gray skies and occasional portly drops of rain. A good day at work, spent mostly listening to and commenting on discussions about processes moving forward. It’s […]

Four hours of sleep last night means no long post today. A good day. Got my truck back from a local auto place, getting its air conditioner repaired. With the hundred-degree heat we’ve had, I really wanted that fixed. ‘Twas more expensive than I would have liked, but eh, I can afford it. Now, I’ll […]
