My suitcase is packed on the floor. Whatever goes in carry-on is still scattered about my bed and my desk. I'm leaving the house around 1 tomorrow, and the plane departs at 5:30. I'm gonna be up late and sleep in to have the best possible chance of not being quite as exhausted when I arrive in London Thursday morning. (And then we go back to Not-London Friday evening. Ahem.) If I knew I was quitting my job, I'd be gone for a month instead of three weeks. That's what I get for booking Read more
For those of you who have access to the testing version of this site, I've gotten all the old scorekeeping pages back up in the underground section and updated (rewritten the text, added the new scores where relevant). I'll link them here for those folks. (I'm still really fond of that Minesweeper page, that's a classic.) Header images are the holdup for the rest of you. I'll get back to drawing tonight, maybe. Honestly, save for the photo galleries and the little Nobody's Watching tribute (and Read more
Basically spent all day in FireAlpaca, because I want to bring you more pages! Here's the first one for the underground section, comparing the outputs of seven different MP3 encoders and explaining why seven programs that all say they do the same thing come up with completely different results.

Give it another Read more
And the aboveground/belowground update is complete. I held out for months because of that aboveground graphic with Bunny and Setter (drawing my girl! scary!), but then I came up with an even cuter and most importantly simpler way to draw it and now I adore it. I've actually got site content for you finally! This is the first section I completed for the site, a look into all of my consoles and tech gadgets as the list grows, and it's been done for, again, months, just sitting and waiting to be Read more
I walked out last night. It was a guy asking my manager "and what will be done about" me after I gave him a stupid answer for a stupid question. And after he loudly and obnoxiously sang in my section for twenty minutes straight. And after I'd already gotten two aggressive customers that shift. I'd already put in my two weeks on the 29th, but I've been coming into work every day wondering who would try to fuck with me that day, a manager or a customer, and $12 an hour is not worth that level of Read more
