So, this is something I've been quietly contemplating for years now. And I think it's pretty clear with the release of Rough Housing that it's just going to become more visible as time goes on. Today, I posted to Twitter ( Read more... )

I want us to own a house again. I want it to be a good house, that we shape to suit our needs and caprices, in a place that we love.

In this house, I want to have a solid, for-real studio, in which I can do solid, for-real work (even when that work is creating light entertainment).

No more messing around.

Some of my symptoms of "low-carb flu" turn out to have possibly been symptoms of an actual cold, which started bugging me on Saturday and were quite noticeable yesterday, to the point ( Read more... )

So in an effort to get off this stupid plateau, I decided to start weaning[1] myself off of carbs, since my gravitation towards sugary snacks (particularly of the chocolate variety) is where most of my "junk" calories come from ( Read more... )

I fly out to MFF tomorrow at Oh God O'Clock, which means I have to get my preparations done today. Unfortunately, I also work from 2-8, which means I've got very limited time and a lot to get done in it. So here's the agenda for today, me!

3. Laundry (if applicable)
4. Gather and pack artist alley materials

I have been quietly, but nevertheless definitely, going mad for the past few weeks because, like HAL, I feel like I have been given mutually contradictory directives, each of which has priority over the others. I think if the apartment had a pod bay, I would have locked myself out of it by now ( Read more... )

Version 1.0.

1. IF IT'S BROKEN, FIX IT! Because everyday practical problem solving is the most beautiful form of creativity there is. 2. IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, IMPROVE IT.

Yesterday we popped up 95N to take a look around Baltimore as part of our moving options fact-finding. Neither of us had ever spent much time there, although we'd both driven through it on trips elsewhere before, but more importantly, neither of us had really looked around at the environs as potential moving prospects. In the end, we decided that ( Read more... )

Somewhere in the murky depths of my past I've mentioned this before, but I have long had a fantasy of living in a large-ish house with an extended family... but the wrinkle of this family is that it's not a family made up of my children and grandchildren. It's a family of adults, my cool, fun, intelligent and sane close friends with whom I am ( Read more... )

A combination of factors have conspired to cause me to be awake at 2:30 in the morning. I am not happy about this. On the other hand, I remember what it feels like to be warm again. O.o
