Well, I dropped the ball on the journal thing. It's not that there aren't a lot of really fantastic legitimate real-world goings-on in my life right now! It's that I also collapsed a bit under the holiday retail joy and not being able to finish anything out of a mountain of drawings and site pages. (I'll explain later, but archives will be eating really good in 2023.) And anyway, it's Christmas! It's a time to vibe, and I got a neat controller, so I just hunted for more RetroAchievements. So Read more
And that's it—for now. I've survived that freakish ten days of pain, the Alcopocalypse. Tomorrow I'm off. I celebrate with alcohol. (What else do I celebrate with?) I kinda wish wine wasn't so disgusting, because to be honest, the wine slosh hits different than the beer slosh. Wine is usually higher percentage, so one small bottle's all you need to get tipsy. I dig that. It's too bad it tastes like chlorinated pool water. We have so many different discontinued kinds of wine that I would Read more
Well, I've gotten my schedule for this week, and it's fucking scary. I'm working 39 hours total, one day off (not even my usual day off, Thanksgiving), and Black Friday, I'm working a nine hour shift. Last night in general was a whirlwind of emotions. I got my schedule and that wasn't fun. I drank an alcoholic maple bacon slushie from the slushie machine and laughed my ass off the moment I took a sip (it is literally just drinking a sausage and it's the most bizarre thing I've ever tasted). The Read more
One last update on the Savannah stuff: she's officially on the top-level somnolescent.net with us! This kinda site really was meant for five people, and now we have a much, much better, much more excited and productive and cool-to-talk-to fifth person. Spot her all over the site! In the tree! Having a sleepover with us! Carrying a djungelskog! (She's also finally on the humans.txt, which I neglected to list her on earlier this year... Did I mention we have a humans.txt?) I've recently taken up Read more
Halloween is past, into the 55 days of Christmas! The scariest part of my Halloween was when a man with a vaguely eastern-European accent came in and put $40 into our lottery machine without quite understanding how the lottery works. I've made all the links from the old site redirect 501 Not Implemented while I get everything resituated. Some of it will be coming back, some of it will go back to mari.somnol, and others will be redirecting 410 eventually. Sorting through it all individually as I Read more
I had to go into work on my day off yesterday! Beer has a nasty habit of hiring very unreliable older women with bad attitudes, and this one's been out sick like ten times in her first month. This is to say nothing of her habit of leaving early the moment she sees me go into the building, long before her shift is over or my shift even starts. (Needless to say, the store is looking for a replacement.) Everyone was thankful, I got a gift card, I got some more hours towards my end of the year Read more
I'm a goofball and I got way too drunk last night. Sometimes, you think trying new things is great fun. Sometimes, that new thing is Four Loko, and it causes you to sit blankly on the bathroom floor, hoping you don't throw up. Missed the rest of the group call, passed out before I said goodnight to anyone. Never again. Anyway! I got that Setter done a few hours before then, so hopefully cammy.somnol launch soon?? Read more
Hi! Third post. I'm a little tipsy, so let's see what I can do here. So firstly, here's the last WIP of that Setter drawing I'm gonna post here, largely because flat colors are basically the last thing it needed before it finally started to resemble the final drawing. You can just see the final if you wanna see the next step. The goal is to have a background version for DeviantART (the background of which is gonna be turned into a tiled background for this whole site!) and a transparent (and Read more
I'm just gonna go ahead and write two blog posts in one night, because really, that first one doesn't count. That's just the foreword. Let's talk work for a moment. I work nights at a register at one of our local grocery stores, tending to the beer and wine section specifically. It's a pretty idiosyncratic job that I can ramble about (and I'm sure I will—did I mention I've got a bunch of journal post ideas already?), but one I'm pretty happy with. I like the people there a lot, I get a lot of Read more
