So, in order for you to understand what you’re seeing when you go there, I should probably link to the “About this site/F.A.Q” page, but you should definitely click on the link to “Next Week’s Meal” to vote. Then, go to The Forums to discuss what a bizarre idea I’ve just had.

I have been there before, but I just went to Stephanie D. Lostimolo’s online portfolio again, and in my current mindset, I am in awe and baffled at the same time. The last time I saw her work, it was just nethersphere.com, but she now has an online comic on the site as well: Schoolbooks & Brimstone. Now, since she has been drawing all these characters for so long, I assume that there is some already established background story, at least in Stephanie’s head. I assume it because I can almost read the story just looking at some of the images she’s created. Before I even got to the comics archive, I felt I knew several of the main characters pretty well.

Now more than ever, I want to track down my evil twin Joel. Then, i want to do some genetic matching, to be sure he’s genetically identical to me. Then, let the body modifications begin. I certainly wouldn’t want to do exactly the same things as the people featured in this article, but I can certainly think of some other things I’d like to try. I’m certain that with a little practise, nerves can be hooked up and transplanted parts can be used functionally. I’m envisioning a hand with opposable thumbs on both sides. I’m seeing a third eye that, even if it can’t see, can open and close.

So tonight instead of working on comics or paintings or drawings or poetry or stories or a novel or 3D modelling or scripting more comics or developing better JavaScript or reading the books I want to or anything else creative, I turned my own procrastination against myself and did the dishes and the laundry and cleaned the kitchen instead. This is something that I feel will make a particular friend of mine glad and upset at the same time. Upset because there was nothing she could do to convince me to do the dishes and clean up the kitchen and when she got off the phone with me she didn’t think it would get done. Glad because it got done. Perhaps upset again because of how I responded to her, if I was going to comply with her request anyway. I do not feel that I mis-represented myself to her. I feel that at the absolute worst, I might have mis-represented myself to myself. I’m losing steam. I have to wake up in 4, maybe 5 hours.

Hopefully within my lifetime, news sites around the world will be reporting only good new, because that’s all there is to report. Stories like “Israel and Pakistan learn to share” and “Kitten looks surprised” and valuable up-to-the-minute information like “joy index up 500 points!” are just what I’m looking for. If I could read stories like this all the time, I might go to news sites more often.

Then again, I might spend more time outside, Sharing the joy.
