12-1am:
panel 1: "need a ride?" "yeah!" I offer my friend Jordan a ride back home post-show
panel 2: "What's a popular piece of media you don't like" "Komi Can't Communicate" I like being able to help friends out by offering a ride
panel 3: the cartoonist flops into bed. I do immediately pass out at home with no shower.
8-9am: Last night I was out until 1am for a friend's live show. You would think I'd sleep in super late, right? [The cartoonist wakes up at 8am] nope.
9-10am: The cartoonist sits at her laptop: Let's do something.
>Neopets solitaire and video in the background. The Cartoonist pauses.
"I'm still sleepy...." Maybe I should just lounge in bed today.
10-11am: Laptop set up to play video essays; weighted blanket and PJs still on; fall asleep to YT videos that say "man what the fuck was with the Stranger Things finale"
11am-12pm: Still sleeping to youtube videos, this time talking about Hamilton fandom drama. The cartoonist in bed things to herself "These [hourlies] are very boring. But I honestly almost forgot about hourlies today." The cartoonist eventually sits up groggily in bed: At least I'm awake enough to catch up on hourlies.
12-1pm: I'm awake enough to sit up now, but the idea of doing anything exhausts me. "Well, my computer is right here, and I do wanna finish that 'Life After Magic' game...." "I got KJ's end, but I"m bummed at how sad ARA and Leez's ends were..."
1-2pm: the cartoonist plays Miranda and Leez's routes. "OK cute"
2-3pm: the cartoonist plays ARA's and Jackie's routes. "ARA you are messed up."
3-4pm: the cartoonist plays the DLC route. "Ok the evil boss DLC is the best route in the game."
4-5pm: "I sure wasted the day on video games huh...." "Glad I finished the game though. Anna Lee..." It's harder for me to get sucked in with early 20s drama, but the Annabel Lee route was worthwhile.
5-6pm: "Well, I finished the game. Guess I could do homework or shower or something." A beat. The cartoonist returns to the laptop: "Or I could make a steam achievement guide really fast."
6-7pm: "Hmm...making this guide is a tiny bit harder then expected."
7-8pm: "I think I have a good skeleton tho."
8-9pm: "I guess -now- I shower....it's late enough."
9-10pm: Tidy up dishes; prep lunch for work tomorrow; fold up laundry; can I finish my homework too...? Nope. Too brain dead.
10-11pm: My job involves me waking up at 6am so I can arrive by 8am; It's been a month, but it's still a struggle to adjust to. School and work as made drawing harder a task, but I am glad I still got myself to do hourlies today, boring as they are.
💗The Monthly Blog Update💗
As I wrote up this month's update on Patreon, I realized I never shared my hourlies from this year.....I'm gonna have this post serve as a double feature: a Patreon plug and showing off my Hourly Comics from February 8th!
