Tonight is opening night of the school play, so sometime this week I get to go watch my kid's black-clad arm pull a curtain around or something while other people's kids sing. Fortunately the school has a really good program and their musicals are...

We took Experiment #2 up to Capitol Hill and bought him all the gothy edgelord clothes his little dark heart desired, then sent him off to the senior prom looking like the prince of the vampires. He had a very nice time. Unfortunately, I tripped o...

The Kickstarter campaign is finally over! Which means I can stop bugging people about it for at least a while, until I get the BackerKit store open. Sorry about that.
Things went very well this time. I'm especially happy that it looks ...

The new microwave is supposed to be delivered tomorrow! I suppose things will stop being quite so groovy at that point. Oh well, it's a tradeoff.
The Kickstarter ends on Monday, which is great, and changes the type of work I need to obsess o...

I got a weighted blanket, and it's wonderful! Then I got another, because it needed a little more weight. I've always liked a lot of covers, but it gets too hot, so this seems to be working very nicely. Anyway, I'm sleeping a little better now. 2022-05-08 04:49:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Friday's page! There isn't much here, and you've all pretty much guessed what's going on, gold stars to you! Don't worry, it wouldn't be much of a story if things were easy for the main characters.
Thanks, all!

I'm down to the wire again today. I think I made the most soporific lasagne ever on Phil's birthday, all I've wanted to do since is sleep. Like, to a spooky degree. But here I am with the page, so hooray for that!
I'll have Friday's page up ...

It's Phil's birthday today, and I'm currently taking a small break while the lasagne bakes. Once I'm done posting, I'm off to make garlic bread and frost the cake.
I hope you all had a great weekend!

So the printer is asking how soon I can get them the files for the books we're still crowdfunding. Eek!

I've altered the colors on the previous page, because it really needs to look like a LOT of gunk is being dumped on the queens, not just some little rivulets. So that's updated.
I'm on a huge Patricia McKillip kick right now, I've been aware...

Here are the colors! I changed the color of the "FOOSH!" sound on Wednesday's page, too. I wanted it to match the gunk.

It's the last page of Volume 22! Yay! Also, arrrgh...we may have to do a Kickstarter later that combines volumes 21 and 22, just to catch up. First, though, is Volume 20 plus reprints. That'll be enough to handle. Maybe a stretch goal or something...
