LIVESTREAM UPDATE:

Hey!  The next livestream will be this Friday, February 28th at 7pm est!  I’ll be doodling whatever suggestions you make in the comments, and as always play games afterward!

I still don’t know exactly what I’ll be playing next on the stream (though I’m leaning towards Rogue Galaxy), so we’ll see!

You can view the stream here or here.

See you then!

END LIVESTREAM UPDATE!

Anyone remember Highlights magazine?  The kid themed magazine usually found in the waiting room at the pediatrician’s/dentist’s/orthodontist’s office?  There would always be a section somewhere towards the end where there’d be two nearly identical images and you’d have to spot the differences in them.

I think there’d also be one where you had to find little items (like a toothbrush, hammer, etc) hidden inside.

As I walked inside my dentist’s waiting room on Tuesday, there was this lady whose purse was next to her in an unoccupied seat.  I put my coat up on the rack, took a seat, and gave her a “we’re both sitting in a waiting room, ain’t that something” smile.

She gave me a stink eye, grabbed her bag, and put it in her lap.

…as if I was going to steal it.

I swear, every time I let my beard grow strangers suddenly think I’m a wild criminal.  At the immediate moment, people sit next to me less often on the subway, avoid eye contact, and now they more closely guard their valuables.

That said, if you happen to feel nostalgia for those old Highlights magazine puzzles, feel free to find the other differences in the images above!

Speaking of the dental visit, I had to get an impression taken.  Some of you might remember what happened nearly two years ago, when I told my dentist that the dental goop made me look like I was in a shoddy porno.

This time, I made sure to get a photo:

and that was after doing some preliminary cleanup while still in the dental chair.  Apparently there was a bunch stuck in my moustache, too.

Everyone loves impression goop!
