I could've used this when I was spending four hours a day unpacking and stacking clothes-- but usually not folding them.
May your spiders be kind.

Ha! Sorry, man. Monotony does weird things to my brain. Who needs drugs when you have sleep dep and five hours of folding laundry?!

Yeah... I think I'm going to change the post filter away from "All categories" now... :p

It admittedly is pretty awesome to have the moles show up to try and get a taste of my eye nectar. Hey, free meal!

Also, yes, I'm updated and will be on again. Just for you.

Fifth of Jack, trauma shears, and some home made penicillin I got is all you need. Why go pay a doctor?

Because...I have health insurance?

Or that nasty hang nail during The Christmas Siege?

I have an infected hangnail right now, and I'm starting to think I need to go to the hospital.

Your tears are how all tears should taste. Back during the BadassExtraTerrestrialAssult I was attacked and a damn smoke grenade blew up in my tent face and ruined my tear ducts. So the Army surgeon grafted in a pair of Giant Sloth and I've been crying salt water ever since. Wish I had those succulent pine nut tears back, kept me from going hungry a few times.

Carpel Tunnel, Rheumatoid Arthritis, AIDS... They all are the same thing and that thing is excuses. Did I quit back when my hands were cramping up during the Crotas run of '15? Or that nasty hang nail during The Christmas Siege? No I did not, I pushed through the pain, blinked back the salty tears and soldiered on without a whimper. So nut up, press the save button, finish cooking your cinnamon pancakes and join back up with the most interesting 360 clan this side of the mighty Volga.

Wait, your tears are salty? Mine are black and taste like pine nuts.

More like carpel, but I'll be on again soon. One more day of writing to finish this act, then resist the "IT SUCKS DELETE IT" urge, and then I'll be back on.

That's about the best compliment I could receive. Thank you, so much.

Man this is just as great as any monologue on Night Vale proper, for real. I uh, I'm not gonna get all emotional about it or anything, but very good job, pokeperson.

I got a strong Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Lovecraft impression in your original post. Loved it!

I've heard of Welcome to Nightvale, I used to listen to Cthulhu and Friends, Drunks and Dragons, hell, even Sayer for a while. Good stuff across the board!

Maybe metaphysical meanderings might mess my Meeka mates mars musings. Meaning git your arthritic ass back on destiny so I have someone to share my insanity with.

ALL. HAIL. (reply)

...strange, and hard to describe. It's like, X-Files meets Cthulhu meets a comedy radio show. It switches from creepy to silly to heartwarming in the span of a single sentence. It's a wonderful, beautiful, terrifying thing that nobody can describe in a way that explains it properly.

My only advice is to listen to it. It has quite a few monologues that are vaguely reminiscent of what I wrote, things that start out bland and normal and quickly veers off into the realm of insanity. You get a strong feel for the cast of characters, even before they appear in the show properly. There's a strong continuity and character growth, too, and everybody from the main dude to the dude who is literally a five-headed dragon are so interesting. Heck, even the cat that hovers four feet off the ground in a fixed position in the men's bathroom is interesting, especially when it molts and shows off its lovely poison spines.

Except Steve Carlsberg. That guy's just horrible. Just... just horrible. Everything about him is terrible. You're better off if you never find out about him. Really. I mean, he never changes the hubcaps on his tan Toyota Corolla. It's laziness, pure and simple.

I'll stop fanboying now. Honest.
