Thanks, Freehold.

100 years ago today, my great-uncle was at the 3rd Battle of Ypres, the Battle of Passchendaele.

We remember. Forever.


It's evening, now. I'm tired, and stiff from sitting all afternoon. I'll post tomorrow. Good night, everyone.

Short rant:
For those of you out there who do any kind of illustration, graphic design, or typesetting: never ever work with musicians. Even if they're good people and friends, they will, without fail, find a way to make the job twice as difficult as it needs to be.

Aren't you a musician as well? Does that mean that working with yourself makes things harder?

F#+&ing hilarious.


I could sleep longer today. Of course I woke up multiple times...


Ugh. Long night, and now it's back to parking lot patrol

Back from dentist...

Regretfully it wasn't the last visit.

Apparently, draconic teeth are long and sinuous, with many notches that prevent properly cleaning them of soft tissue inside.


Wow, sounds like EVERYone's Monday got the week off to a 'great' start! ;P

Yet another reason why I will likely be reincarnated as Garfield.
I hate Mondays. -_-

Hope it all improves soon! (Myself included!) ;)

The heat and humidity are reaching unbearable levels, even at home.


16 hours today

16 hours tomorrow

Had to travel a long way to get a fingerprint done

No sleep in my future

Tired, hot, and f$!~ing pissed off


Sorry, Patrick. I know these things are a huge hassle.


F~@~ it. Anger is its own punishment.

Seriously considering just shuttering my games for a while.

So what you're saying is you saw a bear?

is there anything we can do to help, friend?


Sadly, no. Gotta just regain my zen.

Shutter your games if you need to for your mental health. They will keep.


This is a good idea. I've had to place my games on hold more than once for several weeks at a time just to regroup my thoughts and feelings into something I could manage.

is that good or bad?


I've never seen a wild bear before, so that's a new life experience. Which is cool.

I'm glad you both kept your distance!


So instead of going to sleep I sit in front of the computer...

And the air slowly, slowly becomes breathable again...

But I need to go to sleep sun...

Grumble-grumble-work-grumble...


It's a vicious, unrelenting cycle. I believe a revolution is called for.


No sleep until 8am. No sleep since yesterday

Not a happy camper


No Sleep Till Brooklyn!


I would transport you to a soft bed in Brooklyn if I could.


Yeah. I'm usually good with long hours, but this has been a real bear of a day. Mentally and physically draining.

I SAW A BEAR!

And you liked it?


sigh...here comes the migraine again.


I had a dream last night where I was investigating some person. I think they were a teacher at my old highschool, but then they turned out to be a murderer, and I think there was something about a weird piece of art made of different colored blocks of wood arranged in a 3rd spiral pattern, which was like a code that said I killed like x number of people. Anyway, me and a person I was with (I think they were on my side, and there were some others maybe? Dreaming is weird.) got stabbed, me less deeply than the friend, by a pocket knife.

And then we're just like hanging out, waiting for the ambulance to show up, but instead it's just a group of paramedics. And they took us out to a weird lobby area and started stitching up my friend, and I just stood around and watched, and kept looking at my stab wound, which was leaking blood. I thought to myself I've heard that a stab wound has like a 50% chance of killing you if you get help right away, and I'm just standing around. This is incorrect, but dreams.

Then I was wandering around in a New England style forest, still leaking blood. And then I got the sense that I had been doing that for like, a whole day, getting weaker and weaker. Then I was arriving back home from a walk in said forest, still bleeding. And then I just wandered off again without getting help, still thinking about that 50% chance to die.

I had worked out pretty hard before going to sleep, so my abs did hurt, which likely explains this, but it doesn't explain how I felt. I stood around and watched myself bleeding out and I liked it a lot. I liked the fact that I wasn't incapacitated by my pain, and I liked that I just wandered around without getting stitched up. I felt tough, even though I knew I was dying.

Is that normal? Has anyone else had a dream where you got a potentially fatal wound and liked it?

Um, no. I cannot say that I have. :/

Although the few dreams that I recall after waking that might have been going/gone south usually end up with me saying 'F@#$ it! This is a dream!!' And consciously changing it. Usually.

You and Treppa BOTH saw a bear?!?! What are the odds!?!?

(J/K!) ;)

Sorry to hear that Pat, hopefully things will look and feel better once you get some, you know, actual SLEEP??!? :)

(I USED to be able to get by on as little as 2 hours a night for a week or more, but that was when I was a few years younger! ;P Nowadays, Aged Wizard needs his beauty sleep! At least 4-5 hours a night. More preferred.) :D

Be well all, I have to go back to work now. (And actually DO something productive!) -_-

Very cool. Last time I saw a bear in the wild, I was sitting on the back of a horse. Fortunately, the horse did not see - or smell - the bear. :)


I saw a coyote this morning

That's about the largest mammal you'll see here

I see weird things at night, just out of the corner of my eye. Huge, long flapping wings. Tawny shapes that leap straight up low bluffs. Long, low things that streak across the road ahead. Things with green eyes, puffy butts, and big, fluffy tails like snow leopards.

I think the wings are owls. Honestly not sure about the rest.

I don't know why, but this work 8, sleep 4, work 8, sleep 4 schedule is very tiring.

as i. have been watching the mist, this is a great concern to me.


There's mist sometimes, too. It drifts across the road.
