The primary effects of steroids.

Thin mints and a Second Life bender, apparently. (I can't sleep.) I actually set up a frigging Tumblr during the early stages of the bender, and now I'm sitting here fiddling with libopenmv trying to make a little bot, because that is what I do when I cannot sleep. I attempt to create software for which I have no conceivable use.

I'm also taking my fiction far too personally; I was in the middle of a Basara binge before the surgery, but I can't go back to it now because it will destroy me. Tamura does not know how to pull punches.

And while Tom Siddell does - and in fact does so far too frequently, to be honest - Gunnerkrigg Court's current plotline is unnerving me badly. Don't fight, Annie and Kat! Be friends again! My heart can't take it!

Ah, Gunnerkrigg! Today's update makes it look not as bad as initially set up- maybe Kat just needs some space?

I'm hoping! I'm terrified of things going all Fushigi Yuugi between them - I keep feeling horribly like Siddell's hinting at something like that. It's all the splash pages showing Kat as kind of a symbol of the Court and Annie as a symbol of the forest.

Yeah, although I figure the largest story arc is probably going to be about re-unifying the Court & the Forest. Partly because he tends to slide in cheeriness under the darkness (I expected a lot worse from Jack's storyline), and partly because webcomcs really do depend on fans regularly reading and don't hit at a pace like TV series or manga where you can go south a long, long way before people lose interest. (Granted, you can read a webcomic long after it's gone bad, you're just not likely to buy the books or send the author money until it gets good, if it ever does).
