I need to quit keeping graph paper up at the office. It’s dangerous to have around. Something in the deep lizard-section of my brain sees a sheet of graph paper and sees pure, uncrafted potential. It’s astounding how quickly three hours can blink away while I’m transforming a blank piece of paper into a D&D dungeon I’ll never use, or an RPG setting, or a crossword puzzle.
Sometimes I’ll just occupy myself drawing squares within squares. It’s cathartic, in a way.
Once in a while a phone call will catch me unawares at the office, and I’ll end up taking down notes or numbers on graph paper instead of my regular note paper. When that happens I admit I die a little inside. What a waste of wonderful, glorious squares, you know? A heavy duty eraser helps, but it’s not the same. It’s never the same.
The primary use of graph paper this week, of course, has been planning out Minecraft stuff. Stuff I haven’t actually had time to implement. The server is still up, of course, and various pals and/or buddies of mine have built no end of great stuff. Naturally there is a heavy emphasis on vidjagame sprites:
In other news, the rewatching spree continues. I’m delighted to report that I didn’t notice any piddly little nitpick stuff that made me retroactively hate The Mexican.

haha, the cave story sprite is awesome!
Wait, is that Balrog I see? Is it? Because I love whoever made that. I notice Ika and Ruga are back there too.
Okay, this makes me want to buy the game.
I see a DQ7 sprite to the right of Black Mage. Specifically, the hero of DQ7. Also, since I own Minecraft, I just might drop in sometime.
Zippity Do Da day!
