Two things I want to mention tonight. First is that I've decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. Is it because I have too much time on my hands? Is it because I want to torture myself? Is it because I feel I need yet another thing to distract me from the comic? Not really. Mostly it's because I want to get something done and feel like I accomplished something. And if I make it through it this will, then I will. This shouldn't affect you guys too much. I'm afraid to say November was looking to be light on updates anyway what with a 5 day trip to the SpaceVision conference and Thanksgiving. That's not to say there won't be updates in November, but probably only 4 or 5. Still better than nothing though, right? Anyway, what this also means for you is that as I write the story, I'll post the work for you all to read. I'm still thinking up the story, but it's likely going to be something involving a physics grad student and the end of the world, so you might enjoy reading it. Perhaps the best way to think of it is as the story being my way of making it up to you for the sparse updates.

I also wanted to let everyone know that new Snow Patrol Album is quite good. I mention this mostly because I've been highly disappointed in every album released by every band/artist I like for the last year, so this is a welcome change from that.

I do apologize, but I had a combination of writer's block along with some school craziness. Even still, at least I'm updating more often than some other webcomics.

Today's comic explains a little bit about why there was such a long break in updating. Sharing lab space is seriously the single most annoying thing anyone can do. You think roommates are bad? They're nothing in comparison.

There's a lot I can talk about, given the length of time between the last update and now, but I'm just going to leave this one a little short. I did want to thank everyone for their comments in the thread of the last comic. I wasn't fishing for them when I made the news post, but I was very glad to see them there, so once again, thank you all.
