I'm starting to worry about my state of mind. Lately I've been slipping back into my old habits; talking myself through life in a stream-of-consciousness narrative. "To work! We must go to work," I exhort myself in the morning. "Up! Out of bed, you shiftless good-for-nothing grad student."
I'm eyeing the Bedlam theatre shiftily every morning as I pass it on my way to the office. Can I tech there? Can I act? Will they let me? It's all up to them.
Do you ever worry about regressing? About falling back into high school, because your life is starting to feel weirdly cyclical and you know you've had all of these thoughts before? Damn it, I just want to get some stuff done. It ain't 2003.

Portraits from Eire
I do hope you don't mind, but I'm going to differ a bit from my usual subjects for a while (sorry, TK-421!). I was in Ireland last week, having a massively relaxing holiday with a bakers' dozen friends, and the photos I collected from that trip are, to my considerable surprise, pretty good.
I seem to think so, at any rate.
They're mostly spontaneous portraits intermixed with the occasional craggy landscape -- I do so love people, but damn, will you look at that cliff? This was pretty much my state of mind for the week. At any rate, expect a stream of technicolor hippies to dance across my posts for at least another week, though I shall assu
So I Owe You An Apology
I finally (finally) figured out a working solution to my bizarre dA-not-working-at-home thing. I still don't know why this is happening (which is driving my little nerd mind crazy), but a bit of unix hackery has made it all better. The upside? Not only can I use dA at home again, but all of my web traffic is now secured with military-grade cryptography. I <3 math.
So what's the apology for? Well, the very first thing I do to celebrate my return is to post something pretentious, like the Good Ol' Southern Boy series. It's a series, for chris'sake. About the Afghanistan war and, vaguely, PTSD. It's a shameless riff off of Generation Kill an
Well, hello.
I've been away, and now I feel a bit of an idiot. dA has been absolutely horrendous to me for ages, nothing but pure frustration -- ever since I moved into my (no-longer-new-but-now-pleasantly-home-y) flat, dA has flatly refused to load images. Since I'm not much into the literature or poetry that floats around here (sorry, folks), this was something of an enormous effing problem. I assumed, since it all started when I moved, that I just had the world's weirdest ISP or something; Google Image doesn't work either, and I thought, "hey, maybe this is just some bizarre caching bug."
Of course it isn't. I mean, really? I should have figured this
A Public Apology
Ok, several things. First things first, though:
I owe ~Athalour (https://www.deviantart.com/athalour) a giant apology, complete with public debasement and prostration. We're talking Arabic-level kneeling here, with the tactical precision and calculated meaning of a Japanese businessman. I ordered a few pieces from her etsy store (twistedhatstand.etsy.com) waaay back at the beginning of August. Being a prompt and friendly merchant, she responded immediately with instructions for payment; being a total and complete failure, I took over a month to actually complete those instructions.
This is not OK.
Other things:

Don't worry, I think we all have days like that. I know what you mean about life feeling weirdly cyclical... there's probably some quantum/psychological/goodness knows what reason behind it. Hang in there.
