#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 10/8 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Man, we've been busy. I think it says something when I say that I'm longing for the peace & quiet of the upcoming holiday season.

#girlgenius #webcomics #magicthegathering Girl Genius for 10/6 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Once again we are in a time-crunch getting ready for a MTG show this weekend (www.cardtitanevents.com) Good thing I have autonomous robots to do all the house chores… Oh, wait. This is the bad future.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 9/29 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Whew! We just flew in from Atalanta, and boy, are my jokes tired. As far as I can tell, Atlanta is a 100% Coca Cola owned town, which means you cannot get Dr. Pepper (or even potable tap water) anywhere. It's the law.

Bleh. I'm sick and I feel terrible. I got tested… it's not Covid, or the flu, it's just a miserable summer cold. I didn't know you could still GET those. How fucking nostalgic. Like the XXXenophile campaign (www.kickstarter.com/projects/psy...) I feel like I'm in my final days. Back to bed for me.

#indieauthors Most books about How to Write are little more than exhortations to "sit your ass down and just write". This is valuable advice, but sometimes you need/want something a bit more "nuts and bolts". Try "The Elements of Eloquence" by the always entertaining & informative Mark Forsyth

Only one week left to get in on the XXXenophile Kickstarter (www.kickstarter.com/projects/psy...) As you can see, I'm pretty happy about how it's going. You'll be just as happy when it hits your mailbox.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 9/15 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I am safely back from Boston. Yay! Now I have to clean everything I neglected while getting ready for Boston– while I'm getting ready for Atlanta. I sense a pattern here…

#girlgenius #webcomics #magicthegathering Girl Genius for 9/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Just added another MTG show to our autumn schedule. We are returning to Pittsburgh, PA this October 9-12 (www.cardtitanevents.com) It's a good show. And I'm working on a new Magic® card. Coincidence?

#girlgenius #webcomics #magicthegathering Girl Genius for 9/5 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) In less than a week, I'll be in Boston for Lobstercon (sentineloldschoolmtg.com) It's been a while since I have seen the briny Atlantic, which is the ocean I grew up near and yes, there is a difference

We're in Seattle. Tried to get Covid shots at Walgreens. They insisted on a prescription (which my Dr. said they couldn't do) Got an appointment at CVS– which they cancelled a hour before we went. Walked into Safeway and were vaccinated and out in half an hour. Safeway for the win.

Kaja & I got our Covid shots today! It was a struggle, let me tell you, but we did it. Good luck!

Got a Flu shot yesterday. Felt a bit off by the time I went to bed, but a good night's sleep and I feel fine. Asked when the new Covid shots would be in and my pharmacist said when the CDC (pictured) approved it. Doing a bunch of travel in the next month or so, so I hope they pull their thumb out.
