FYI: A Just Ink Press Announcement

….and if you’re not following that blog already, shame on you! Since I don’t really have a post for today (because I’ve been busy as fuck and it doesn’t look like that’s slowing down anytime soon), I’m throwing out a little reminder here: There will be a cover reveal on the Just Ink Press blog […]

Just Breathe

…and so it begins. *gasps for breath* HELP! So the teachers have returned, and today, the students return. What does that mean for me? Well…the past two and a half weeks have been back-to-back phone calls from 7:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m., and if that’s any indication, it means that my calls will double today. […]

Batman: Year One–Superhero Comics Discussion #2

…and as per usual, you’ll have to have read this one in order to participate and know what in the ever-loving hell I’m talking about. “Weird for weird’s sake.” Batman: Year One certainly covers that category in all its postmodern glory. The Crime Blotter definitely gives a feel for Gotham City, with all the crime […]

Atoman–Superhero Comics Discussion #1

…because I have nothing better to post and the class I wrote this in was fucking awesome so I’m sharing. Today, we’re discussing superhero comics because why the hell not. We’ll begin with Atoman by Jerry Robinson, a sad, sad attempt at writing a superhero story line, in my opinion. This discussion is about the […]

Certification

…and all that it entails. So our main networking or whatever guy had a chat with a few of us last week and said it’d be a good idea if we, during our copious amounts of down time, would watch these online videos and start getting certified in some IT areas. Okay, so it’s not a […]

Ashes to Ashes

…and dust to dust. Three months ago, I quit smoking. I know. I’m still in shock over it. But to be honest, I don’t even miss it. Seriously. I just go about my day/night doing whatever and very rarely does a thought of having a smoke pop into my mind. Which has me ecstatic! It’s […]

Re-imaging and Upgrades

…also known as ‘Jinxie needs a new damn computer because her hard drive crashed’. After being off work for a week and a half, I returned to my trusty Windows 7 work computer. Everything was just as I’d left it, and I started working on emails, since I had no voice and that would make […]

You Gotta Stop

…and rest once in a while, or Life will force you to. I work hard. In fact, I work my ass off with all that I do. I have my day job, which is a 40-hour per week venture in the information systems industry a.k.a computer stuff. It gives me a stable salary and benefits, and […]

Ch Ch Ch Changes

…and I totally continued the earworm from that last post. You’re welcome. I said Change would come to the techisphere of My Geekdom, and after receiving the survey results on our antiquated IS department (you think I’m joking, but I’m not), our Director had a little talk with us. Survey says, “Hey, you’re antiquated!” Director […]

Why I Can’t Read or Edit Your Book

…without some sort of monetary transaction. Y’know, like you pay me and I’ll edit your book or design your cover or whateverthefuck it is you’d like me to do with it. I’m not sure if most of you are aware of this, but quite frankly, folks, I just don’t have the time to edit or […]
