Good news/bad news on the Project ‘Whup Dan’ front: Good news is, the bike shop got the gear shifts on my bike working properly so it now goes through the entire range of gears without dropping the chain, and also actually shifts IN to third, which it had never previously done. It’s a cheap bike and it’s the 3rd time I’ve brought it in to try to get this fixed, so I guess 3rd time is the charm. Bad news is, it took a week so I probably have to…
My new paranormal romance, GORILLA IN THE GROOVE, is available now!

(Our backup plan is to try some occult stuff, but that’ll take longer so we figure we’ll try explosions first and magic second.) In…
I’ve been thinking A LOT about why I’m doing this drawing project and I’m going to subject you to these thoughts whether you like it or not. (I mean, you can skip this, obviously, but I’m apparently somehow working through something and I don’t even know what, so…) I mean, like, one reason is just that I like drawing more than knitting and I’m looking for things to keep me from doomscrolling. But that’s not really what it’s about. Some of it is that I used to be kind of…
Stage One of “whup Friend at the pool” is complete: I have conquered Bike Butt and can now cycle to work/begin taking longer bike rides. I mean, by the time I actually manage to get fit enough to swim AFTER biking to the gym, Friend is going to be swimming two miles a day and it’ll take me months to catch him, but dammit, at least I’ve gotten started!
