I want to walk but it's so weirdly damp/misty out there and I also have no idea if the ice is still on all the sidewalks.

Folks: Back up to an external every month! And try to only keep your short-term, active files on your actual computer if possible. Put the date you started your HD on the shell so you have an idea of when you might need to replace them.
I finally moved them all off my old dinosaur Mac from 2008 before it died and into my Google Drive. Tomorrow I will put them on my external hard drive. Yay for us!

Zack is watching through Babylon 5 for the first time and this is an insightful observation of a show that was released when the 90s/00s space opera genre was just getting started (Yes, there was TNG, but no LEXX, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Andromeda, Stargate, or Farscape yet)

I never even dared to dream of this.
I could not be more excited about THUNDERCATS X SILVERHAWKS: THUNDERHAWKS and the work that Vincenzo Frederici and I have been putting into it.
Check out these killer designs our out Time Displaced team from Alessandro Ranaldi of Pumyra, Lynx-O, Neko, and Ligon decked out in SilverHawk gear.

I kinda really want to watch the OG Ghost In The Shell and I'm thinking maybe I should try to write it out from memory, I did that with The Shining a couple years ago and it was an interesting experiment.

Just saw a Chili's ad and man do I want a cheeseburger. Been at least two weeks and after freezing for three days or so I think I deserve one.

So update, managed to salvage quite a bit of that food we kept outside. Obviously anything open had to go, but... actually kind of impressed that it worked as well as it did.

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

Just realized the fridge never turned back on. Should have realized that hours ago, but I was feeling the temperature rather than, you know, noticing the light wasn't turning on when the door opened.

It is easier to become an NFL player than a regularly-paid screenwriter in the US. It is incredibly, incredibly difficult to make a life in film, especially now.
It pisses me off so much that a lot of people think that acting or anything art related isn’t a realistic career choice, like what the fuck are you talking about??? how else do you think movies get made??

Going through a lot of portfolios this week and i am BEGGING people:
Put ON THE IMAGE what you did.
Did you design the character? Or only do the turn around. Did you design the background? Or only paint it? Or do prod bgs based off the key?
I’m not a detective! I’m just an art director!

I thought Charlton might have just forgotten about me, first thing he did was show me he still has the car I gave him, then a tour of all the cool stuff in his room. Made me feel good

Hanging out with friends who have a generator after freezing for two days. Nice bit of normality. Though will be quite happy when power is finally restored
