I’m feelin’ kinda fucked up today. Unfortunately, that feeling probably isn’t going away any time soon.
Here’s the deal: Unlike certain other metal sites and a very small number of metal blogs, this one isn’t a business and creating content for it isn’t a full-time job for me or any of our regular writers. In my case, the old fuckin’ day job usually leaves me enough time to devote significant attention to NCS, but every now and then it demands its pound of flesh in a rather extreme way — and it’s doing that now.
Beginning today and for the next 3 weeks (and possibly a bit longer) I will be away from home and immersed in a project that will kill off not only my days but most of my nights. I’m lucky that these kinds of assignments happen rarely, but when they do happen, they become nearly all-consuming. Don’t ask me for details — I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.
The only silver lining to this cloud is that the project could end much sooner than I’m predicting — but whether or not that happens is beyond my control.
The upshot is that I’ll be lucky to make one post per day until I get my head above water again. Of course, the other regular writers will continue to contribute. And if any of you out there who have contributed as guests in the past feel like sending something in (a news item, a review, a feature, whatever), that would be welcome.
Even if you’ve never written anything for us in the past, now would be a good time to have your NCS virginity deflowered. Just e-mail me your submission (my e-mail is at the “Contact Us” tab at the top of this page). I can’t promise I’ll post everything I get — though our standards are obviously quite low, we do have standards — but what have you got to lose, other than a bunch of time, energy, and concentrated effort?
Thank you for your attention. As a reward for making it to the end of this whining, here’s a video of a sea otter playing hoops.

Well if that aint the cutest thing I’ve seen today! What was I upset about again?
It really is effective at erasing negative thoughts. Unfortunately, they reappear about a minute later.
Go fuck yourself you whiny bitch.
Man, I needed that. Thank you.
Please watch the video again Sean.
damn!!!! hope you finish the project sooner than later!!!!!.
Me too. Thanks for the good wishes.
loved the sea otter
He loves you too. His name is Eddie.

Fuck! But know the feeling, haven’t had a weekend since Christmas and probably won’t get one until May!!!! Get through it Islander, this site is one of the best out there!
Many thanks. Time will pass, I’ll get through it, but it sure sucks at the moment.
Why do I feel like you work as a third-party henchman contractor and these big “projects” are just when someone needs to build a new Death Laser in their hollowed out volcano…
That would be rad. NCS Reader: ‘What do you do for a living?’ Islander: ‘EVIL SUPER SCIENCE!’
We’re all involved in the super-science industry to some extent here at NCS.
that is the cutest video EVER
Wait. This blog isn’t a business? So that’s why I haven’t gotten all that awesome stuff I ordered, what’d you do with the money?
DON’T GO TO YOUR DAY-JOB ISLANDER WE NEED YOU MORE. AND YOU NEED US MORE. MORE THAN MONEY, FOOD, SHELTER, WIFE, AND PHRO’S… MINI PHRO.
I think somewhere in this was an insult to Phro’s mini-Phro. But I’m not positive.
The size factor was in proportion to the rest of his body, unless you mean it’s actually the size of his body, in which case I should be saying Phro’s Phro. Or Phro II.
