ADHD means I can't watch a YouTube video featuring more than one person if I'm trying to learn something. Inevitably, there's small talk and "banter" and my brain just can't hold concentration through that.

Definitely my favorite version of this song. This kid has PIPES. And there is so much character in his voice.

If anyone has advice for tension headaches, I'm all ears.

Please don't tell me to reduce my stress.

My daughter keeps making houses for our cat. She has upped her game to a tent.

She's also started leaving little "offerings" for him, like feathers and pom poms.

In exchange, Fenris guards her room when she's not home, and generally seems annoyed if anyone else talks to her.

TODAY’S THE DAY!
My first full-length comic book, #ARCHAIC, is out today at your local comic book store and on Comixology Unlimited! If the phrase “action-adventure murder mystery on a controlling magical island” sings to you, go get your copy!

My daughter wanted to play me a song she loves on YouTube.

She PINKIE SWORE it wasn't creepy.

We are going to have to discuss the meaning of creepy.

Adding witchy labels to seasonings adds so much ambience to my existence. What you see below is me successfully dying a plain black and white label with black tea mixed with turmeric.

It's snowing. And my current mood is: Good. Keep snowing. Seal us in. I'm not going anywhere.

My nine year old daughter told me her rocks wanted me to babysit their kids. This is Heavy Gary Jr. and Skull. They're having raspberry for breakfast because I was told they like fresh fruit.

That red ball is their "stress pom pom" for if they get bored.

100% would babysit again.

I might like the early seasons of some shows better, but this one remained true to itself the whole long way.

Sometimes one has to balance one's need for candy corn with the knowledge that having candy corn for breakfast will make one sick.

I go to Canada for five days and we get so much snow they cancel three days of school in a row.

I get back and we're going to be in the high-fifties for weeks.

I am NOT pleased.

Wrote this Post-it note and told my son to read it out loud. He read the whole thing before he got it and cursed me.

Left this note on the floor outside my son's room next to a banana peel.

I feel like Superman would definitely make dad jokes.

My son shaved his head and now he looks like Lex Luthor.

I will be trolling him in the role of Superman for the foreseeable future...

Editing two chapters turned into completely rewriting a new chapter and editing the second one. And it looks very much like tomorrow's "editing two chapters" will end up the same.

Today Jennifer hates yesterday past Jennifer for being so lazy on this first draft...

I turned my Christmas tree into a ghost because I couldn't find the energy to take it down.

My daughter wants to know if we can make it a turkey now...

I'm averaging a cup of coffee every half hour thus far.

If this doesn't translate into wicked gains in productivity vis a vis my current edits, I shall be very put out.

I am overcome by the sudden conviction that I need a tiara.
