"situational fubarage"

Tuesday - February 12, 2008

I really don't know why my life has been an unyeulding series of situational FUBARs of late. It was more than just the online servers, most of which are all straightened out (i was amazed by how many legacy problems we had). I had major issues with the Dyesub printing and heat press, deliveries that did not arrive when they should have, even the MegaGear site (hosted elseshwere) was down several times... you get the idea.

I was seriously pissed yesterday when our order of b34rs did NOT arrive like it was supposed to. It's really frustrating because i busted my ass this weekend to get the little b34r hoodies printed and ready to go when the bears arrived monday morning. After wasting a good part of my day waiting for the damn shipment, i finally called and found out that they were not actually going to arrive until the next day. >_< It was important because in order to arrive on Valentines day, they needed to go out monday. We apologize for this, it might make it still, but we'll see.

Is this why the next comic is still not done? yes, and i apologize for that. THe way things have turned out i should have just said 'fuck it' to all of these problems and focused on the comic. Here's a preview panel to tide you over till i get back later today

i guess all of this is really just a big SNAFU. Another word i'm way too familar with.

"That not-so-fresh feeling"

Thursday - February 14, 2008

Weeks like these, I realize that I'm not a teenager anymore, no matter how often I make dick jokes and play video games to try and maintain the self-deception.

I'd be loathe to blame this listlessness on jetlag, but I'm sleeping like a baby and my biorhythms seem fine, so that's definitely not the reason I'm spending hours on the couch staring blankly at the wall. It's much more likely that this is my body telling me that it needs more rest while I recover from illness - but then again, I've spent decades not listening to my body, so why start now?

On the plus side, there's AOD coming up this weekend, and conventions always do good things for my energy level. Perhaps I will get into a shouting match with Ian McConville for no good reason, just so I can take off my pants and throw fake feces at him. He LOVES it when I do that...

I'll keep you updated even if I have no urge to write - I have a lot of fun writing on this here rant space here, so maybe the act of writing more rants is what'll pull me out of this dead funk.
