I hear a banging sound over the music coming through my headphones, so I remove them. The sound doesn’t repeat, so I replace my headphones.
About a minute later, I hear something again. This time it’s you, talking about not letting something fall on you. I rush to the bedroom to find out what’s going on. You’re sitting up in bed, still saying “Phil, don’t let it fall on me!” in a gradually more worried and frustrated tone.

Of “sex,” “gender,” and “sexual preference,” gender is the one that is fake.

This morning I had many a wacky dream, as I often do. At one point I woke up, then went back to sleep, and dreamt about retelling my previous dreams, and created further wacky dreams while talking about the old ones.

I contacted Kim about making a comic and proposed some ideas. We’re both very excited about the project. We chose an idea and started developing it. So far we have the prologue written. I need to lay out the pages and start drawing the characters. I got some help referencing the period costumes from Marisa. More on that soon! (more…)
I got a call at work the other day, from a lady in Ottawa. She was angry and distraught, and very much in need of the help of some kind strangers to make sure our fair country is safe from danger. It went something like this: (more…)
Laura got a job at Starbucks last week. She’s had one shift so far, and her second is tomorrow. She’s not getting many hours now, but people are leaving and going back to school, so she expects to be full time soon enough. From online application to being hired on the spot at the interview, Laura got the job in about four days. (more…)
