Fabricate February
In the interest of challenging myself, I’ve decided to make up challenges for the months. January was fitness-related, so now I’m settling on Fabricate February, where I plan to make stuff I wouldn’t normally make.

Signal boost!
The idea of a multiverse, in which parallel versions of me exist as a result of different outcomes or decisions, fills me with a tremendous sympathy. Poor alternate versions of me.

In which we point out the landmarks of Insomnia
I’m drinking scotch and Drambuie in a lovely crystal glass at 3:46 am. I’ve been up since about 9am yesterday and I don’t think I’m getting back to sleep. I haven’t had a cigarette in 24 hours, so despite feeling virtuous, I’m also jumpy and would worship as a god whoever brought me chocolate, for at least five minutes.
