Still trying to get pingbacks to work on this site. Everything seems to be set up to allow them, including the notification of the ping server, but my testing shows nothing.
Grrr.

This is me rambling about me, mostly. Current stuff: home, family, my head’s on fire… that kind of thing. This also includes everything imported from LiveJournal.
Me, three, and Sanctum 2
I caved in and re-installed Sanctum 2 this evening. Then I played for a while with Keliana, Link, and Patch. We’ll have to do that again sometime.
It reminded me that half the reason I installed Steam was so that I could play games with my kids. Man, the 21st century is cool.
Watched The Croods Again. Still Loving It
I watched The Croods again this evening. I still love that movie. I especially love that Grog is our protagonist, and that this fact is not clear until after he throws his family to safety.
And I dearly love this moment:
I could talk at length about how cartooning is a shorthand meant to evoke emotion, and how that’s basically what Grog is doing, but the summary point will suffice. I totally identify with Grog in this film, and him turning out to be a cartoonist didn’t hurt one bit.
I hate loving these pills…
Struggled to get anything done this morning. Made a little progress banging on two possible scripts for Sunday, August 24th. Not working.
Went shopping with my 11yo to clear my head. Got home and decided to take a white pill (20mg, 4-hour methylphenidate — it’s basically a short-term ritalin). Aaaand BANG. I’m able to script again. Wrote an all-new August 24th strip, then the next three days of the week. Then I brain-dumped into the outline and it all flowed gloriously.
I love the white pill, but I hate needing it.
