The battle is looming! Which major character will die in the end?! I’ve said too much already!

I’m a little surprised by how much I’m enjoying this break that I’ve given myself so far. I’ve finally gotten around to watching Lost, and I’m quite happy with Season 1. I look forward to watching Season 2. I hope I can find time for it before Season 3 starts.

I came up with a drinking game based on Lost. It’s very simple: every time someone says, “I’m coming with you,” you drink.

I just realized I have digressed. So I’m enjoying my break quite a bit more than I was expecting, which should not be surprising me as much as it is, because the comic is a lot of work. I’m amazed by the people that can do this for a living, and I think I now know why I find it to be so laborious: it’s just not an opiate for me the way it is for some people.

Mind you, I’m sticking to it. I’m always happy with the end result. It’s just the process that I find trying. I’ve been thinking that my next project here on Hindrances won’t be a comic. There’s this novel that I started a long time ago that I lost in a disk crash and haven’t touched since I started rewriting it the day after. That’s not worth worrying about right now, though, because Tee-mab still has plenty of gas left in it. We’re only, like, a third through what needs to be told, and that’s taken five years. I think we’ve still got another two to three years to go, probably more. Glory!
