Well, that election kinda sucked, huh?

It’s been hard to spare time for much of anything but surviving these past few months. The economic changes on the horizon are frightening to me, and when I am frightened, I have little energy or time to make art. Even my roleplaying games are on hiatus for the next month while I focus on the next stages of Clockpunk Studios and plans to make it through the next 4 years.

Despite the looming dystopia, there are good things in my life. I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight this year (about 40 pounds) and I’m sitting at 33 books read for the year (counting some graphic novels and at least one long podcast series). My family is healthy. There are things to be grateful for, on this Thanksgiving-eve.

So, we are still alive here (cue Jonathan Coulton). I have jokingly said next year is gonna be my year of the cockroach — my primary goal is just to survive out of spite. Maybe no so jokingly?
