I was telling a story to a friend of mine earlier today–one of those that seem like they should be straightforward at the time you start telling them, but get progressively more and more surreal as you try to explain all the contributing factors,* and I had gotten up to the point where I was sitting on a […]

I felt much, much better today. However, signs would indicate that while my body returns to health, my mind slips ever further towards the edge. Catgirl Phalloi Non-DA Link I felt a little odd painting this. I mean, more than usual. It was as if I was single-handedly inventing a fetish, and I’m not entirely sure if I’m […]
If I only work on stuff that doesn’t matter, it doesn’t count as being productive, and so I’m not overworking, right? The Plague Kevin brought home some Theraflu that really works. I take it, and my sinuses are as clear as a bell, my cough subsides, my head doesn’t hurt. I am also as high as […]
Still feeling like death warmed over. I’m okay in the mornings, but by mid-afternoon I’m dead on my feet and my nose is draining like the Amazon Basin. Anecdotal reports peg the blaaaaagghghhh stage of thiis plague as lasting around a week–cough lingers awhile longer–so I’ve still got a couple of days to go. Yay. […]
This is an extremely long-lasting plague. I feel like shit. I mean, I’m cheerful, don’t get me wrong, everything’s goin’ fine, it’s just that my head is swathed in cotton concrete and my sore throat became a cough and I am taking vast quantities of Robitussin (why the hell anybody would do Robitussin toget high […]
Punk hummingbird says "Oy!" I am still sick, and waiting for the vet to call me back–Ben’s picking at his food again, but not in a "herpes" way, more of a "I have a cold" way–and in between fretting and chugging hot lemonade by the gallon, I doodled up this small beastie.
Last night, we had not one but TWO rogue bits of wildlife invade our lives and need to be…err…removed. (**Warning, unfortunate fate of small animal to follow, sensitive readers are advised to sit this one out**) The first involved me coming downstairs, seeing Winston (the idiot) with a mouth full of something that did not look […]
Also, the weather here is spectacular, we’re having reports of spring peepers starting up, and the daffodils are visible from my window. Unfortunately, so is the bindweed, and despite lingering illness, body ache, and sore throat, I am feeling the itch to go out and kill that stuff. ETA: EEE! EEE! My anise hyssop is growing! There are wee […]
My talk last night went well! At least, I think it went well…I kept ’em laughing, anyway, and I think that’s the important thing. I may have agreed to speak to various classes. It’s all a bit of blur. Kevin says I didn’t disgrace myself, anyway, although I do tend to get a little manic when I’m on. […]
Blargh! The con crud seems to be catching me. I have to give a talk tomorrow evening, so the sore throat is not welcome. Generally I come through these things as healthy as a horse, but this was a bad con for plague for me for some reason–something hit me wrong on Sunday morning, and caused what Kevin […]
