"Don't you you tjink you should..."
"Maybe you ought to..."

Dude, it's as much as I can do to get out of bed and go to work. I really don't have the emotional fortitude to deal with life right now.

Half finished comic page bespeckled with ink.

I guess it's obvious in hindsight, but you shouldn't refill you ink pens over your work.

I guess I didn't realize showing up at the art meet every single week without fail, even when no one else was going for all those months, was such a noteworthy deal until the librarian mentioned it. I just do the best I can.

I don't know any of these characters, but it does look cute!

Something I've learned from caretaking is that even when it's only up to you, you are still allowed to do fun things for just yourself.

Sometimes it takes digging out the N64 to go on a nostalgia trip to make you clean up a corner of your lair that you have lacked the emotional and mental strength to clean for the last *counts medicine bottles* year and a half.

I didn't have a reliable internet connection at the time, I wasn't active in any communities, but I was a strange kid who watched all the classic sci fi movies from the 40s-70s. Maybe it's still my personality.

But I don't like green eggs and ham

I just like how I drew Zora here.

Nice greennnnsss

Can't we just tell everyone to stop for a minute? D:

Little mini calzones

Holy shit

Hospitals are decidedly unfun. Come over for a calzone instead

The Cognitive Trade-Off Hypothesis YouTube video by Viagra Boys - Topic

I love rediscovering these old gems!

For new stuff, I've been listening to a lot of Viagra Boys lately. They are one of those groups that are smarter than they look, and their style has a cathartic dark nihilism that's a fitting soundtrack to these weird days. youtu.be/mP2eZdcdQxA?...

At work, a lot of games play Enter the Gladiators and other dinky ass clown music. It adds just that little twist of madness to situations.

I don't want to be lonely anymore. I don't know what else I can do about it except complain.

The loneliness gets debilitating and I want to ask for help, but I don't know how, or I'm too embarrassed. Besides, everyone else is GOING THROUGH IT lately and I feel guilty adding to the misery. Not that I think anyone knows someone to introduce me to anyway.

In the meantime, I bought an N64 game

I'm so exhausted and lonely but at least I can call myself a science fiction author.

Gotta puck up some mailers tomorrow, maybe

I got some mail 2 send u

Oh no! Sending magic burg vibes!

Typically, you would have the strings pre threaded before putting the hull into the bottle. Then you put the mast and sails in while pulling the extra long tails. But I thought that would complicate things for this project.

Turns out lines like to get tangled in a bunch of oars. I'm not sure what I thought was going to happen. But I got them sorted and labeled. I need to make another tool for threading them in through the proper holes.

A preview of the next chapter!
Stay tuned

Would it be desperate if I started asking people if they knew anyone cute that I could send love letters to? I don't have any other option.
