A 843-post collection

Friday! AAAAAAHHH!

I edited the heck out of an episode, but I've yet to introduce the background music. I've also found out that I'm an episode behind, so there goes some significant portion of my weekend.

I'm short by one episode so, theoretically, I should be able to make that happen during the following fortnight. Theoretically.

Today, I should be able to get the music in the current episode. Tomorrow, recording the next batch of stories. The day after? Who can tell.

It's Valentine's Day, so Beloved and I are having a night in. Going for a night out means sharing that experience with howevermany hundreds of others who are there with the exact same idea.

We're having our own Valentines at some later point when there's less chance of viral contagion.

Yes, Coronavirus has spread to Australia. Yes, it has a long incubation period and yes, asymptomatic folks are flying past the radars. So steering clear of crowds is a very smart idea.

All it takes is one arrogant, asymptomatic someone who thinks that because they don't feel sick and because they don't even look at Chinese anything, they can't have the bug. That's how you get a global pandemic. Ignorance is a powerful thing.

Anyway. I must to get on with nonsense.

Thursday Already?

Well shoot. I really need to edit that episode because a new one's gonna be published TOMORROW and oh my goodness what a mess.

I also need to find time to get Chaos some regulation pants. So that promises to be "fun".

I'm going to do everything I can and hope the windows align. Hope the money lasts. Hope for deliverance (cha cha cha).

I seriously have to get my shit together.

Progress!

I have finally published 2019's Year of Instants. Huzzah.

You can buy it here for the low, low price of absolutely nothing. W00t!

I notice my "sales" of all my free stuff have already spiked. Thanks all'a y'all.

So today, I'm going off about the government's committee nonsense in regards to Autism and what Autistes like me (a) are like, (b) actually need, (c) definitely want to exist in this world.

Like, for serious, I could go on for DAYS about autism

Monday Again? Okay.

This week's goal is a total of 81K in KOSBOB, and today's goal is unfuckening the house followed by adjusting the new cover for 2019's Year of Instants.

If I can get that done with relative ease [I mean, there's not a lot I have to do to the cover to make it ready] then I can try to focus on finishing off the formatting. THEN I can maybe just post the dang story.

Fingers crossed.

I have maybe three quarters of

It seems to have worked?

Like... I didn't have any freezing. I was able to do other things [though I did move the writing of the Instant to my lappy whilst the main compy did the Disk Doctor thing] and all SEEMS okay.

Acid test #1: Making the cover to 2019's Year of Instants.

Acid test #2: Creating and adjusting the Word97 version of 2019's Year of Instants.

All these compy shenanigans have been why I've procrastinated all of that noise. So. I'll do the important stuff

OK here's teh PLN

In order to try and make my compy last a little longer, I am trying to fix it myself. Brace for explosions.

Step 1) Backup the drive [currently in progress]
Step 2) Run Disk Doctor on it all
Step 3) Pray hard

If this works, then I don't need to fret about any further fixes... for now.

If it doesn't work, then I have to make an appointment with the local Apple Store to get the hard drive replaced. Sigh.

The backup's

Teh PLN

So my main compy is dying and Plan B is just using my laptop 100% of the time. Not fun since the lappy refuses to let me in to my own forum for reasons that perplex me.

It might need a new hard drive installed(Plan A), which would honestly be cheaper than the roughly $4K needed to replace the entire machine.

I could NEVER afford $4K for a new iMac. Not the way things are at the moment, anyway. So I

Okay. I think I've got this

Today is Thursday and, if I push, I can maybe get 1K out of me and into KOSBOB so that I have Friday as free as any other day of the weekend.

I should also record some stories and edit another episode of Inter-Mission because that needs to be ready for next Friday. I've got a chance of doing some recording today whilst the rain doth not fall...

But for now? I'm writing as much Instant as I can before I have

Okay. I think I've got the hang of things...

The weather has turned rainy and I, for one, am glad that some of the blistering heat has toned down more than a smidge. However, Australia is still on fire, there's a plague running rampant all over the world, and our politicos are failing us in a very big way.

I have "rediscovered" the secret of not twiddling off on distraction-fueled browsing - and that is to shut off every window but the one I'm working on so I can actually firkin

Tuesday!

The light is starting to go from the mornings, which means that the cooling of the air shall commence in a few months. The country is still incendiary for about three to four months, maybe more if climate change has anything to do with it.

...it probably will...

Meanwhile, the biggest mob of xenophobic dicks in this country is getting mega funding some someone - lord alone knows who, but I'm betting on some bodies corporate. Decent people couldn't possibly want to

I'm Shorn

I got sick of the outside temperature and its effect on my bod, so I shaved a metric cat's worth of hair off'a my head.

I mean, serious. This lot of shaved hair could make an entire cat:

[Shown here: A clump of hair on some grass. There is definitely enough there to make a cat]

Coming soon to an ill-researched cryptid blog near you ;)

Anyway, the time is approaching when I should see Chaos off to school and get some moneys

Morning Art Stream

It's one in the morning, there's going to be some WIP happening and I'm... probably not going to do anything interesting at all this AM. If I'm extremely lucky, I might be able to create an Instant Story before I slink off to sleep again.

Not going great because YouTube is entrancing.

I shall at least try to get something done.

GAEM TYM!

Tonight is game night and I am so pumped about it that I awoke at 3AM and had various difficulties sleeping the remainder of the morning.

I am going to be WRECKED tomorrow. Be warned.

With the grace of the Powers That Be, and a LOT of caffeine, I and my character will survive the evening. I plan on having fun with everything, no matter what.

I also have to unfuck the house today. A PLN somewhat helped by the fact that

D O N E !

I have leftover coodles, one head of cauliflower, and the equivalent of one and a half sugarloaf cabbages. All of which, I am leaving to my Beloved to cook something out of it all.

I have Tuna steaks, which could theoretically be fried today and packed up with the leftover coodles, but there is just one small snag.

The new freezer is full to the brim with pre-packaged frozen meals.

Chaos, for the record, has already started helping me eat it all.

I Wore Myself Out

All the chaos of yesterday meant that, by about one in the afternoon, I was DONE with the day. I also had to wait for Chaos to come home, go out shopping for more vegetables, and start prepping so that all the meat prepared in the morning would have a side to go with when they enter our (tada!) brand new freezer!

The new upright freezer is looking very swish. It has a temperature readout, it has an alert to let you
