Not Design - Blog Posts

I’m not sure if this horrified bathroom selfie properly expresses the horror of starting 2018 with watching the rotting pile of trash known as Grown Ups 2 at a friend’s party.

I decided to go back to Pulse after being a borderline recluse for a year and a half (and forcing myself to go to Savoy two weeks ago after talking through some things.)

I remembered a conversation I had with @plaguenurse after she left a crochet Jotaro Kujo in my car. She left it there in hopes that it would go where it needs to go.

Long story short, there is now a crochet Jotaro Kujo at Pulse that I placed there because I feel like it belongs there. I couldn't articulate to you why I feel the need for it to be there, but I still feel like it belongs there more than it does in my car.

Ok, so I was 7000 shy of winning NaNoWriMo until my left hand decided to cramp up and hate me. It really hurts. My knees are also aching.

I'm letting a few friends read the alpha draft of a story I have wanted to write for a long time. (Because hooray, Google Docs!). I also think I want to slam out the whole book's rough draft before 2018, and then edit next year.

And I have a job interview for a design production job tomorrow, and that's super cool.

I'm also gonna go back to doing comic live streams on Saturdays. I miss doing comic stuff.

Taking a break on comic making to work on a crime drama novel for NaNoWriMo feels strange, but there’s only so much I can do in a single day, so eh.

I’ll hopefully bang out this novel quickly and then get back to comic making..and I’ll probably make a book design this month as a result.

I am constantly annoyed with DuoLingo gaffes like this, so I shall start making a chronicle of the various screwups that DuoLingo makes in the DuoLingo Japanese course, as well as silly sentences, because why not?

>tfw you’re writing a rough draft for something and it actually alludes to the fact that coffee beans might be extinct or absurdly rare by 2080—ergo, coffee would be an extremely expensive black market luxury at the rate we’re going at.

I just realized that I could have easily made an MS Excel spreadsheet for the economic model I usually construct for quoting design, instead of doing everything by hand with a pen and paper.

It would even automatically calculate annual metro-area inflation discrepancies FOR ME if I structured it like that, so that I can just feed it yearly data without worrying about it.

Doing it all on paper is just punching myself in the face.

So, I have a Tumblr on the side called @dandyreblogs now. I'll probably modify it to look like my current icon, but slightly different. I'm planning on using it as an aesthetic Tumblr exclusively.
