On the Sliding Scale Of Cynicism Vs. Idealism, I like to think of myself as being idyllically cynical. (Patreon, Ko-Fi.)

Micro-blog: arrived safely in Tokyo. · 11:44pm Last Wednesday

Because I spent over an hour writing a nice detailed one about the very special hell that was the outbound fight, and then Firefox hiccuped and ate it. Rather than lose daylight hours to redoing the whole thing, I just wanted to assure everyone that I was down safely, my hotel eventually located the reservation, and whoever designs United Airlines’ “meals” needs to die.

Japan & Ko-Fi Goal Update: I Could Use A Little (or considerable) Financial Help With Trainfare... · 6:26pm April 26th

...because there's going to be a lot of it.

How bad?

When compared to the roundtrip cost reaching Japan, the trainfare is going to be over half of the flight.

So yes, this is where I'm doing a moderate bell-ringing for myself. I'll explain in a few paragraphs -- but first, I need to update what happened with the last Ko-Fi goal.

WE ARE GOING TO THE POKEMON CAFE · 10:43am April 18th

...okay. No capslock this time. But I am now expecting all international travel from and to the States to be shut down within the next eighteen days, because I can't see how this doesn't backlash on a massive scale. My luck, when it functions at all, tends to be semi-Newtonian. Non-equal and utterly opposite reaction.

Apartment inspection update: passed, but waiting on any landlord word. · 7:20pm April 11th

The inspector departed ten minutes prior to my starting this blog. I'm clear, because -- well, because he wasn't rating the results on beauty.

There were several questions asked in the comments of the previous blog, and I couldn't answer them because I was waiting for the situation to resolve. Let me see if I can clear them up now.

Why are you paying for the repair/patch materials when it's your landlord's building and her responsibility?

Double hit: apartment inspection failure (no eviction) and civil case settlement update: payment postponed · 10:59pm April 8th

I'm going to try and get this in quickly. Emotionally, I'm just about wiped out and physically? Stressed out, to the point of actual symptoms. This hasn't been a good day. It's not as bad as it could have been, but... I need to update people and potentially get some advice.

What do baby griffons sound like? (Plus: Kraven deadstream starting Very Soon.) · 7:26pm April 5th

This.


At 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time today -- about ninety minutes from when I post this -- the Kraven The Hunter livewatch/deadstream session will go live in the chat sever. And as always, this is for the current Ko-Fi drive: replacing the tablet.

Anyone who proposes hunting cheetah cubs will be kickbanned with prejudice.

Chirp.

The Sex Court finale for Luna has been posted · 1:16pm April 1st

And why am I microblogging (with a story tag and link) for that one, when the notifications would have gone out? Because I screwed up. A few minutes after posting the chapter, I spotted a typo, fixed it -- and then hit Unpublish by accident. Accordingly, the chapter doesn't appear on anyone's Unread list. I was hoping a fast blog would let a few more people know, as the presence of comments means I can't take it down
