Played one game of Steam Tunnel last night — amusing, but scoring’s a bitch, and the gameplay didn’t seem interesting enough to put up with it. Played a few games of Light Speed, which is far and away my favorite Cheapass game so far. Plays really quickly, about ten minutes to a game once you get the hang of it, and the mechanics are just neat. We tried playing with two asteroids, which seems to reward the get-all-your-ships-out-quick strategy, but also results in a narrower range of scores.

Woke up this morning to the delightful news that I currently weigh 275.5 pounds. That’s about a two-pound loss from a week ago. If I can keep this up (which I probably can do for certain if I can find a good source of cardio exercise) I’ll hold off on doing Atkins till I hit a tough plateau.

These drawings are part of my efforts at growing that online strip idea from the other day. It has to do with demons. (No, I’m pretty sure it won’t bear a strong resemblence to Demonology 101.) I’ve got some rough plot ideas (tying in with an idea I’ve been kicking around for a while, a parody of CS Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters), but the visual inspiration just isn’t keeping up yet.

And I think I’ve dodged that cold.
