Going to keep this short, because this is unfortunately getting to be like an old meme. First off, I am completely against SOPA passing. I don't think that just because Obama said he would veto it that there is nothing to worry about. Presidential vetoes can be over-written.
I just have one question I would like to ask my readers (all about 3 of you) - With all the fighting against SOPA taking place on and around the internet, what can we actually do to stop this? The representatives can just stop checking their email. They can screen their calls. How do we take the fight off of the internet (the realm of the people who care) and into the representatives' lives? We need to do something that doesn't involve internet celebrities and angry forum posts. Congressmen and RIAA and MPAA and those other 'big bad evils' don't give a shit if a person who set up some thing called "Twitter" or "Google" oppose this. They just care about their money and getting their coffee and other things. They don't even know how the internet works, and have admitted that, while ignoring experts.
Basically, I'm going crazy quicker and quicker. My future livelihood depends on a free internet and I can't do anything but send emails and telephone calls that will be ignored.

My Sprites
Here we have the work of my talented friend, Dire Human. I helped slightly with the direction. These are my homestuck-style sprites. Fantroll included.

Early Morning Sanity Damage
Typically, in Call of Cthulu, an investigator takes 1 sanity damage from seeing constellations that are wrong - as if they were on another planet. I took several points of sanity damage on my walk this morning.
I moved to Florida from Chicago on Friday and haven't left the house much because of the heat. The only thing I noticed from the car, other than the sun glaring down with a vengeance, is that there are many palm trees and spanish moss covers the rest. I started making my first check from waking up to completely different birdsong. It sounds weird and rough after being used to other birds. Clearing my head, I walked outside, still looking askance at sand being where soil should. There isn't really grass here so much as scrub brush that is native to the area. The side-walks here are narrow and often have up to a few inches in height between two sections. The only familiar bird I saw was a pair of cardinals. I heard an actual rooster crow and stepped around spanish moss hanging everywhere. I found a particular type of bird to be endearing - small, mostly grey, and have a very long plume-shaped tail.
Things are weird here.
