2.1.18

I wonder why half the last post turned all white. Weird.

Bored, bored, bored. I don't think anyone reads this anymore. I barely write here anymore. I'm sorry blog, I've neglected you.

I'd like to say I've been busy, but nah, I just attract batty women who don't like me writing things. So I stopped. And it's quite hard to get going again, it seems.

But it's been what, ten years since I started this thing? Seems unceremonious to just abandon it forever.

This blog has survived longer than just about anything else in my life, at least that comes to mind. It's been more of a constant than anyone I know, or anything else I've owned. Weird and neat.

Anyway. What am I up to.

Well, I was gonna work on my book thing. It's not really a book. More of a fanfic. But not really a fanfic either. I don't know. Basically, it takes place in a universe someone else made up, but which has no actual characters or anything. So I guess you could say is based on fanfic, or something. Hard to explain, really.

Pretty simple story, and nothing too interesting - just an action-y thing kind of like Clive Cussler. I've found any time I try to write something clever, I just lose interest in it. So instead, I figured something stupid and simple would be good.

The basic story is pretty simple. Like I said, it takes place in a borrowed universe - one from a clever little game called Airships. About the only established facts in this universe are suspendium (an anti-gravity device disguised as something else, basically), it's roughly a steampunk universe (everything uses coal and is all late 19th century-ish), and there are giant airships that rely on suspendium rather than lighter than air mechanics or aerodynamics.

It's a pretty blank slate, and while I have a lot of trouble taking steampunk shit all that seriously, it doesn't need to be taken seriously to make for a good story.

Anyway. The story is about this dude who discovers the enemy is producing a wonderous new lighter than air gas (helium, which, by the way, has a fascinating extraction process probably I won't get into here), which would turn the tide in a war the dude's side has been slowly winning, because a helium ship does need coal to stay in the air, and isn't as hazardous as other lighter than air gasses. There's a little interlude because I got tired of writing about him, and wanted to do some C.S Forrester shit instead with an airship captain, but still, pretty cut and dried.

I've been trying to write a page a day, since I'm outta work for the next few months, but it's been a shit day. I'm really just waiting for the liquor store to open, because it seems like a decent fix, so I decided to do this instead.

I have enough saved up to not work until march, but realistically, I'm probably going to blow it all by the start of feb and go running off to my parents.

Oh, that's new, blog. Come the end of march, I'm running off to penticton regardless of money. I miss my kiddo, and she's gonna be down there.

I'm gonna ramble, I know it. No rambles today, blog. No rambles today.
