So, I didn't feel like doing shading or anything. I'm tired, it's late. It wouldn't look that much better with the shading.

I'm terrible.

Anyway, Elise is cute. For a teenager. It should probably be noted that I fucking hate teenagers. I hate their angst, I hate their snarky self-assurance, I hate the way they think they know everything about everything but know NOTHING at all...

I should stop now, shouldn't I? Yeah. I should.

Sarah reminds me of Ivan Ooze sometimes. That's how much she hates teenagers. And yes, I just referenced Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. I'm a child of the Nineties*. What're you going to do about it?

Elise has come out a lot...cuter...than I thought she would. She was significantly crazier in my head, in an uncomfortable kind of way. A big part of it is the way Sarah draws her. And hey, I'm fine with that. I like seeing how things come out, artwise. They always look so much more interesting than when I write them down.

I've taken to editing these posts in Vim instead of Notepad. For some reason my version of Notepad is Godawful buggy. You'd think that an application meant to merely edit text would not be complicated enough to have the kinds of experience-crippling issues I'm experiencing. Vim, on the other hand, seems to behave a lot better during use. In a lot of ways it's a completely different tool, but I'm rapidly realizing I prefer it. It's probably the programmer in me. Vim's also open source, and it has been mentioned before that I am an open source whore. I'll open up my hard drive to just about any software bearing that label.

Some people may contend that I am actually an open source slut, seeing as I receive no payment for using these applications and, therefore, am not whoring, per se. Those people may feel free to do so.

I've gotten partway over my burnout, apparently, because I've managed to make the same aesthetic adjustments to the archive and to the daily comic pages that I made to the front page a while back. There are still more changes to come, though, specifically for the front page. And next in the pipe is the About section. Pretty soon we'll have a fully-fledged website on our hands.

Won't that be something?
