Damn, it’s been a full months since my last update. There’s a really good reason for that – I’ve been on vacation for half that time, and in that time I haven’t kept up with any of my habits. For me, anyway, vacations are a good way to reset and destroy and preexisting habits I had before leaving. This is both good and bad. Bad, because it destroys my good habits, obviously. I haven’t written a blog post in a month, which I’d definitely characterize as bad. Even after coming back from my vacation, I let the inertia of not writing posts continue on for a couple extra weeks. I’ve also had time to accumulate story fodder. A couple interesting tidbits:
- Macau has wild dogs everywhere. They’ll try to fuck you up. I know this from experience.
- Orientals love Baccarat. Apparently, so do I.

- They somehow managed to top it with this terrible idea:

- This one’s my favorite:
It’s a surprise robot toy. The surprise is, when you open the helmet, a dinosaur appears. I love the anachronistic nature of this one. The dinosaur’s probably roaring because of its impending existential crisis.
- I love this guy’s idea of stealth:
- These last two are presented without comment.
