1.25.10/21:43 spinning the wheels It's been an interesting week. I quit my full-time job to devote a few months to trying to make it as a freelance Japanese-to-English translator. Is it risky? Hell yeah. Am I confident I will succeed? Hell no.
But I've gotta give it a shot.
You might say it has something to do with turning 26 over the weekend and some sort of entering-my-mid-20's crisis. You may be right about that.
So...what does the future hold? Well, I've got to shore up my client list and start being online...more? How can I be online more than all the time? Damn you, skype. Stupid internets.
From a practical standpoint, all it really means is sending a bunch of e-mail this week and playing Zelda. Which I'm totally down with, if I can only find that second elusive dayfly for the creepy bug girl. Only one mirror shard between me and freedom.
1.10.10/00:50 numbers As I sit here drinking my second Shochu Throwback of the evening (2 shots high-grade shochuu and Mountain Dew throwback, splash of orange juice for color, and some champagne because it was in the fridge) I reflect on the new year and the progress we've made, and it occurs to me that I never really divulge how well things are going in terms of hits and visits.
Well, no more. I will reveal to you some numbers which will illuminate things for you. Here we go...
Views for Top 5 Stories on The Spoof! (all-time)
Peachycomics.com over the last 30 days
Barnes and Noble Best/Worst Ranked Free e-books
YouTube Stats (all-time)
Now that you know all of that sensitive, personal information, you might be wondering whether those numbers are good or bad, or coming to your own conclusion. How do I feel about it?
Meh. Don't much care.
It's not like I'm going to quit writing stories or doing the site or posting ridiculous videos, so it doesn't do me any good to dwell on it.
Time to go back to shochu and Twilight Princess. Cheers, internetters. Be safe out there.
1.1.10/20:38 the dawning of the age of aquarius And here you were thinking I was dead. But this is not the case, as evidenced by this post. If you've been on Mars for the last three months and missed my complete lack of posts, you can see them here or head on over to the archives to get debriefed.
So what's been doing during my hiatus? Good question. The answer is big stuff. Big things in the form of new tech, new ideas, and new hope.
Well, maybe not that last one.
The hold up, as it were, was the transition between my old computer, Edgar, and my new computer, Marvin. Me and Marvin have been tear-assing around this thing called the internet taking no prisoners and painting the intertubes red.
Now that I've got a new program which will let me update the ol' peachycomics (my means of installing the last program I was using have mysteriously disappeared...) and a computer fast enough to handle the massive, raw power that is 6,000 files simultaneously booting at once, we're ready. We're pumped.
And thanks to this beautiful little present Dad gave me for Christmas, I've been making new videos as well. Care for a sample? Here you go.
You think that's all? No way is that all. There's some more. With my works now corrupting the minds and hearts of e-book havers everywhere, you can find me on Barnes and Noble as well. My best-performing title there, 57 Ivans, is currently holding strong somewhere around 63,000th place (out of 64,000!). Yeah, we're really rocking now.
And what else can we expect in the year ahead? Well, maybe some pics of the computer and the TV I bought during a recent bout of hypomania, for starters. I'd put them up right now, but I'm waiting for the camera battery to charge.
EDIT: I included the aforementioned pictures.
