I&#8217;ve been doing a tremendous amount of &#8216;day job&#8217; work, and while the end result is good (both work I&#8217;m proud of and the not-insignificant upside of getting to keep said day job), it&#8217;s not the stuff I really love.<\/p>\n<p>Not a lot of gaming. Not a lot of fiction writing (still stuck on the same stupid scene in <em>Adrift<\/em>), not a lot of podcasting.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of consumption. Lots of well-priming via books read (The Secret History of Moscow, Flatland, Boneshaker) and shows watched (Farscape rewatch ftw).<\/p>\n<p>But enough of that. February is my birth month, during which I traditionally have a quiet panic attack about my impending demise and work feverishly to create some meager artifact that might temporarily stave off my inevitable descent into obscurity.<\/p>\n<p>You know. Or maybe something funny.<\/p>\n<p>So back to the Podcasting, as well as a shift from work-writing to other-work-writing &#8212; the kind of writing I talk about here. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll pry run short on sleep, but at the same time it almost always makes me feel better anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doycetesterman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/stay-up-and-make-something.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/doycetesterman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/stay-up-and-make-something.png\" alt=\"stay up and make something\" title=\"stay up and make something\" width=\"500\" height=\"585\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2462\" srcset=\"http:\/\/doycetesterman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/stay-up-and-make-something.png 500w, http:\/\/doycetesterman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/stay-up-and-make-something-256x300.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How about you guys?
