I do nothing of merit. On occasion, I give the impression of being creative, but this is a deception. I am merely derivative in clever ways.

    Dropping in to try and find some art

    So my hard drive bricked back in the fall, and I finally replaced my computer with the stimulus money. But I don't really have a good way to try and recover the stuff that was on there, so that sucks.

    But, I was hoping for some help in finding one particular bit of pony art that I haven't been able to dig up again since then.

    Welp, that's just... everything fucked, I guess

    So back around June 20, I wrecked my car.

    Then back on August 28, the tires on my wife's car got torn up hitting something on the road, and we wound up needing all new tires.

    I don't think my cat likes my work

    So it's been a struggle to write anything, for various reasons, but I *was* trying to get back onto Legacy Ch 4 not long ago.

    Then today I was sitting at the table and started hearing faint tearing noises from behind me. I turned around and discovered that somehow my rough draft had wound up on the floor and the cat had done this:

    Random Encounter

    This was a fun moment. Choppy cause I had to remove a bunch of game speech commands and the usual bit of racist shit-talking.

    Also this was before I found out Scribbler did another reading of my stuff. I would have probably said that instead of RCL.

We needs a delivery drive · 7:30am Nov 12th, 2015

So, I've finally gone back to work again, returning to the grocery store I worked at back in 2010. It's alright. Better environment and people than Wal-Mart. Almost enough to make up for the $2.00/hour pay cut working 10 hours less each week. Still got a pile of credit debt, a mortgage, and a three-month backlog of unpaid bills, but it beats unemployment. Barely.

Anyway, the actual point here. The plaza my store is in also features a little Asian restaurant called, simply, Asian Grill. I've never eaten there, mostly because it always seems really dingy and gross.

Little things, like the stacks of store-bought sodas they use in lieu of fountain drinks. Those used to sit on top of a salad bar they never plugged in, by the way. But there are other small details. The industrial pressure washer next to the door (or is it an air compressor?), the wet floor sign that never moves, the inexplicable pair of funnoodles, or the health inspection report that clearly struck some critical violations (as the header is yellow), but is allowed to hang in such a way that the customer can't see what those violations were.

And now, the new sign in the window.

"We needs a delivery drive — Asian grill"

For some reason, this is just hilarious to me.

I also see a 30 years out of date security system.

That's amazing. I can only ever read that in Smeagol's voice.
