I've been mostly heartburn free for the past week but it came back with a vengance tonight. Pretty sure laughing my ass off at Broken Picture Phone made it worse but it was worth it. I think the more popular version is called Gartic Phone? I don't know I've never played that version. A good time was had by all though. Especially when people's interpretations of images went off the rails.

Comic work is going well; I finished the lineart for the first Otasune comic page and starged doing the second pass sketch for the second page, and the lines for the other comic are about... 70% done? Maybe? I've also got a mountain of WIPs at various levels of completion that I tinker with as warm ups. I'm also also working on Carrier again, trying to work out plot lines that aren't all the way there yet. I also need to gather some research material but it's not a priority. Should be able to start writing prose/the script by the end of the year.

Aughhh, I can't believe 2024 is ending soon. My birthday is coming up. The elections are coming up. Oh god, I don't even want to think about it. I hate that every election feels like the end of the world. At least I feel like Kamala Harris has a better shot than Biden did, but even if she does get elected, what good will it do? She's in the pockets of the elite, keeper of the status quo; she doesn't think Israel is doing anything wrong. At least it wouldn't be another Trump presidency?? Ugh no, I don't want to think about this. Thinking about world events too much gets me too stressed to work.

You could say I'm very shark like: like swimming, if I stop distracting myself with my art I'll suffocate. All my hair will fall out and I'll shake like a geriatric teacup chihuahua.

I don't know what I'm talking about.

Do I ever?

I'll start working on Nocti again in a little bit. After these comics. I still want to release the new update this year but sometimes I gotta take a break from pixel art or I'll forget how to draw. I still have to do all those damn NPCs. Maybe I'm putting it off because I'm afraid to have it be Done. Though Nocti still isn't technically done LOL.

I should go to bed. After another round of Solitaire or three.
