Adapting

If it seems like the blog's gathering dust, that's because it has been, at least a little bit.

I've been finding it hard to sit down and write up posts (planned or otherwise) if only because I'm now sleeping about 10 hours a day. on my two days off, I totally trashed the sleep schedule that I've been trying to set for myself.

the job itself isn't bad, and more often than not it's been dead as a doornail. If anything, I feel a little over-trained for what is otherwise a brainless job.

still, the hours get long, and I find myself taking time on tasks just to burn off some of that stack of time that ends up laying about and casting a dull grey light over everything. I don't feel confident enough to sneak my computer in yet, and given that my handwriting is not only slow but sloppy, I'm not producing a lot of content, much less of the quality I feel I owe you few regulars.

I'm sure I'll get a routine soon enough, but all the same, posts might be once a week instead of  (almost) once a day for the next couple of weeks, at least until I have a handle on this whole thing.

Day 3 of graveyard shift

Posts have been non-existent because I've been sleeping roughly 10 hours a day.

still getting used to it. Somehow, the night where I was barely conscious (the first one), my count on cigarettes was at least 80% MORE accurate than the night where I was awake (last night).

going to try to do better on night three, but only time will tell.

anyways, just here to show that A) I ain't dead, B) I remember this blog exists, and 3) I ain't dead.

catch you all on the flip.

Tonight the job starts.

Didn't have time to hack together a post, but I'm sure tonight will provide plenty of...colorful stories for the near future.

either way, wish me luck.

Post later, Steam time.

Trying to fight my way through my backlog of games, so no real post tonight.

If you want to come bother me, my steam name is Call me Cadejo (big surprise, right?), but you might also want to drop me a line and tell me who you are.

The Long Cold Hours

I'll tell you about them, after the break.

No Bot Is An Island-How does death in video games affect you?

Hey folks.

two things:

1) We're done making adjustments to the site, at least for now. More is planned for the future, but planned in that 'couple o' fuzzy ideas scribbled down somewhere' sort of way. Things should be stable for a bit.

B) an interesting thought occurred to me during a twitter conversation, and lit up a bunch of percolating concepts in the back of my head. I'm turning it into an essay, but as always, no writing piece is of any use without some research behind it. so I'd like to pose a few questions, if you're up for them.

You can find those questions below.

BEAR WITH US...OR HORSE WITH US OR WOLF WITH US OR FLA---

So I'm trying to crack the IntenseDebate html by hand and make the font a little bigger for legibility. As you can guess, it's painfully slow. EDIT: Never mind. Turns out ID has some quick CSS shortcuts buried in the help section. comments be bigger now. I'm also trying some alternate palettes and stuff out, so don't assume anything is permanent until we say otherwise.

I'm also still trying to find an ideal font, which by all estimations is going to take some time. I like Georgia the most out of the options I have, but... I dunno.

feel free to panic, start fires, and generally riot in the comments. 

won't change anything, per se, but it might make you feel better.

New formatting, what do you think?

So I'm trying out a few formatting changes, for the sake of design and readability.

Chief among them (and the one that's NOT up for debate) was ditching the old font, as it was...well, total shit, for lack of a better term.

I adjusted the font size, as well, and a few other things. 

What do you folks think? better? worse? yes? no? maybe? not as cool as SweetieBelleDaily?

Feel free to post your questions/comments below, as I am very desperate for the attentionI am curious as to what's an improvement, or what changes could be made for the better.

Returning to regular posts soon

Thanks for the patience, dear readers. Things are...well, better, at least, and I'll have both the time and the emotional stability to make posts regularly again.

Sorry that there's not much more than that tonight, but as it stands I don't have the focus or the inspiration to crank something out for you. soon, friends. soon.

Me and my big stupid mouth.

explanations below.
sort of.
