brkl Posted January 2, 2014 It's a reference to batman! Of the Adam west variety. That would make a goddamn excellent t-shirt. Would probably sell better than a print as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltimateHurl Posted January 2, 2014 Wonderful work tegan! My New Year's resolution is to sort out my life. Would love more time to draw and maybe make a game (I've made stuff with Unity before, but have always felt I'd pour a lot of energy into it and then there'd be no reaction).

dibs Posted January 2, 2014 i keep thing it is Mad Magazine or Hairspray or something though. I'm so confused. Edit: It is extra awesome still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted January 2, 2014 I made a secret (ok, I told one friend) promise to myself to quit smoking and I've been without a cigarette or other form of nicotine for 2 days now. Wohoo! This is a seriously life-altering decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 2, 2014 Gratz! It's been 48 days since I quit smoking. I switched to an e-cig and I'm down to 6mg nicotine juice. My smoking was apparently situational, especially smoking while driving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted January 3, 2014 Good so far. I already feel like I'm rid of it. Don't do the thing where you reward yourself with a cigarette. It's scary how hard and well an addicted brain will work against you – constanlty presenting reasonable-sounding ideas to get you back on the habit. «I've made it a whole day/week/year – I'll celebrate with just one» or «I feel confident I've kicked the addiction, but let's just double-check by doing just one» etc. It's like omg brain you're supposed to be on my side!

SecretAsianMan Posted January 3, 2014 It's been snowing here and the roads are pretty bad right now. I did some sliding around yesterday and today and almost didn't make it up the driveway last night. It's made me really appreciate having a garage now.

Nachimir Posted January 3, 2014 Congrats Erkki and subbes A few of my friends have switched to e-cigs, which seem to work well for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 3, 2014 It looks like you're puffing on a robot dong, but I only really use it when I'm driving or at home so the looks don't bother me. The ones that imitate cigarettes, like the Blu, are shit. If you're looking to switch from cigarettes to an e-cig, don't get a Blu or something else that looks like a cig; get a proper eGo. You can always PM me for suggestions. (Lawyer-y fine print: electronic cigarettes are not a smoking cessation device. Nicotine is harmful. Etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted January 3, 2014 I'm glad that it is working for you Subbes. For me, a big part of my addiction was the oral-fixation. My solution was to carry water around with me everywhere I went and take sips as if I was taking drags. I still drink water constantly. My pee is rarely yellow.

Yeah, I know. I actually once quit for 2 years, and then a friend offered me Swedish snus and I decided to prove to myself that I wouldn't get addicted to that, or that's about how it went. I will try to avoid that this time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 4, 2014 Just got done with a job interview. For the first time ever, I was the one doing the interviewing. I have no idea whether this person would be a good fit or not, I don't think I'm a good judge of that sort of thing :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
