I evidently had torture on the brain when I wrote this piece, probably because after about a decade or so of procrastinating, I’m finally getting around to reading Joe Abercrombie’s grimdark fantasy classic, The Blade Itself. I have no idea why it took so long for me to get around to it, but I’m glad…
I’m not sure what to say here without alienating way too many couples. Like, more couples than normal you know. There’s an upper limit where you have to tell yourself “I’ve offended too many relationships, this needs to stop.” Anything Mutemath does is gold.
Holy cow, I didn’t expect three years to take such a short period of time. IZS has seen some pretty crazy life events happen for pretty much everyone involved in it, and it’s also helped us meet some amazing people. It’s opened up doors to us meeting amazing local comic legends who actually know we…
The alternative script I had written for this one was “Is it bad that I don’t want to let you go, but I don’t want you?” I wrote this script ages ago, and I just sort of sat on it for a while. That’s what I tend to do with these relationship scripts. Let them…
Unfortunately it was a connecting flight that spanned many continents. All of which needed to be rebooked, including the hotels. Suffice to say that the wedding had to be cancelled and he got put to the back of the cue AGAIN for his heart surgery. He was never on time for anything ever again. He…

With all the information of the world literally at our fingertips,…
Honestly this needs to be a thing. I’ve seriously considered buying a blanket for our bed that’s oversized, just so we can luxuriate in as much blanket as we wanted without disturbing each other. I’ve been playing a lot of Warframe recently, in fact it’s sort of taken over as my main game of choice.…
I fucking love thunderstorms. I don’t really live in the right country to experience the full potential of nature’s Olympian wrath, but whenever there’s a massive electrical storm with thunder that rattles the world, it feels like every fiber of my being is living the life it’s meant to. In comparison, just about everything else…
“You’re like family” isn’t a term that’s universal in its positivity. Sorry I had to phone this one a bit this week. I’m feeling like garbage again. I think it’s a bit too much screen time at work. On the way home I considered throwing up behind the carpark before getting on the bus, but…
People tend to do things instinctually, whether it’s good for them or not. I guess ideally lizard brain tries to do it’s darnedest to keep you safe, but it really never prepared itself for diving boards and meth.
