  • On this day, on Woton’s Day, leaving the City of Angels. Packing begins. At noon, I start my drive. I thought of writing something deep and profound and poetic, but instead, I’ll just say this. Goodbye, LA. I still love you.

  • I woke up just now from a dream. I wrote it down. Here are the notes I wrote. The Last Days of Man are here. Atlantis and Lemuria have returned to Earth, their ageless war bringing ruin to humanity. Cities are now wastelands, and in the toxic wake of alien sorcery, men have turned to…

I got to playtest Houses for the first time and I’ll be putting up my observations later. The books I needed to…

  • Comfort

    Direct deposit is supposed to make sure my check goes into my bank Monday night at midnight. It is Friday and I still have no money. I do have overdraft fees to comfort me, though.

  • No bullshit. No exaggeration. No kidding. EDIT: It has since been pointed out to me that this link has been taken entirely out of context. I was suckered. Go intarweb.
