And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was in a meeting with some Comixoloy folks a few months back, and learned that one of the common reasons they reject self-published comics is because the artists used Comic Sans instead of hiring a proper letterer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

reason they reject self-published comics is because the artists used Comic Sans

...but it says right on the label: comic sans!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Scrappy, you are a true hero.

I'm so mad at myself for not putting in my a/c. I mean, I'd have to take it out again next week to get new windows, but STILL. And now I think tonight is the last bad night? Hot.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know if it's terrible or just lucky that I looked at the bit of Comic Sans and just thought "that looks different. Huh" #notafontgeek #NoStrongFeelingsOnComicSans

By the way, making coffee with leftover coffee? Lotta caffeine. PSA

Oh my. But how does it taste?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Am stuck in the middle of a bullshit three way conversation (fourway if you count the originator of the conversation) with my landlady and fellow tenant. Old tenant forwarded an email to new tenant about needing to replace the uv bulb in our water free cuz he was still on the mailing list. New tenant texted mevanoutvshsring the costs. I asked why our landlady wasn't handling this. And now I'm the go between. I'm tempted to just buy the part to not have to deal with this nonsense. I forwarded the service emails to landlady, who instead of following up from there, was waiting for a response from the new tenant and her ex husband. New tenant is all "so glad you're dealing Ruth this, off on vacation, see ya later!". If the new tenant was possessing half a brain, she would have contacted the landlady, but she claims she feels she's pissed the landlady off too much already, and threw me under the bus, leaving me acting on hearsay. Landlady should've contacted the company directly after I forwarded the official emails. But instead is asking me to reach out to them about schedules even though it was implied in their email that we were due. This is potable water issues. It should have been factored into our rent this should not be this epic game of telephone to get addressed.

So when I got Hazel, they told me she doesn't like other cats, but you know, they told me a lot of stuff. But she was just in the window FLIPPING HER LID at another cat outside! Dag, baby! I now wonder if that's the cause of her bad behavior at the vet in the past.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm off to SLC again in the morning and my printer is out of ink, so I can't print my boarding pass tonight. I mean, I could go buy more ink, but I'm feeling lazy today.

Suzi, can you not get the boarding pass on your phone? With the QR code?

The Comic Sans made me make a noise of horror that startled the cats. Evil. Eeeeevil.

Halloween stuff is coming! Yay!! I kind of hope Peanut shows up earlier rather than later, so we can start celebrating on Halloween and keep it going through her birthday. (She's due November 11.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh my. But how does it taste?

Well, with three packets of Splenda, a teaspoon of sugar, and a big splot of half-and-half, it tasted pretty decent.

But she was just in the window FLIPPING HER LID at another cat outside!

My orange cat goes apeshit when he sees another cat outside, but he's fine with his inside-cat adopted brothers. It's the stranger in his territory he cannot bear.
