Two Things
Jul. 23rd, 2008 12:37 pmYou really must do two things for me, today. You really must do them, or something absolutely horrible will happen. Are we clear? Are you ready?
1) Comment Here, if you're actually reading these words, even if you've never commented before, and make sure to leave a name.
2) Tell me what you're working on, right now, with links and contact information, if you haven't already (http://wolven.livejournal.com/1411771.html), or if you have soemthing new to add.
See? That's not hard, and it doesn't seem like much, i know.
But you'd better fucking do it.

Date: 2008-07-23 04:47 pm (UTC)Right now I'm gearing up for grad school, designing our dream house with they wifey (not to be built for 10-15 years), and contemplating an off the cuff essay about Lovecraft's seafood allergies leading to the advent of Dagon and the Cthulu cult within his works. I'm also goofing off with some more short story ideas, though nothing I like as much as 'Walk a Mile,' I think that's about it.
I do have this reoccuring image in my head, it's an endless sea of surburbia, cul-de-sacs and mirror image houses, stretching into infinity. There are storm clouds above, the huge rolling black doombringers that promise a long night of thunder that would make Thor weep to think of it. Rain is starting to fall, but it's not water, it's ... it's more like oil that needs to be changed in your car, thin, but with that rainbow patina which was the only thing that facinated me about cars when I was young.

Date: 2008-07-23 04:53 pm (UTC)I'm starting grad school in a month, and in the meantime, I'm working on my house, which you should come visit sometime when it gets up and running. We'll likely have a housewarming party in the near-ish future, and I'll be sure to send you an invite. ;)

Ostensibly, I am writing a screenplay or at least a shooting script for a...visual thing I want to do. After that, and if I can secure a camera, I will shoot said script type work using toys and hand drawn scenery since I don't have the kind of resources necessary to get actors. This is complimentary to the short story I am supposed to be writing and will be directly related and influence the rest of the works related to said story.
In reality, I am being enveloped by a phantom shadow of recidivism as I wait for Godot.

2. Working on opening an etsy shop with jewelry and little handmade things. I already have some of the jewelry done, and now I'm working on a small mixed media type shrine type thing. To who or what, I don't know yet, I just started it last night. I'm pleased that I'm working on something though. I've also decided to try getting my paralegal certificate this fall. I just need the money to do it.
I am very tired, and trying to eat and then take a nap. Things aren't making very much sense right now because I need sleep. I keep babbling at the cats and they're all staring at me.

Date: 2008-07-23 09:01 pm (UTC)Not really working on anything right now, unless getting back into school counts. GPC. Dunwoody campus, but I think I'll switch to Clarkston, as that will be closer to where we'll be living and it purportedly has a better student theater. Aside from that, being a lazy butt and loving it.

Date: 2008-07-23 09:35 pm (UTC)I'm figuring out how best to approach the next steps in making an illustrated guide to the dark side of the Tree of Life, and maybe looking for a gallery that won't mind the display of nekkid demon tits and vagina dentata.
I'm figuring out where exactly art is taking me, and where I want to take it. Likewise with magick, writing, applying a sense of humour to my various works, and life in general.
I'm wondering how I can get out more, while avoiding the ghetto we live in. I do miss being able to walk useful and interesting places.
There's probably more I can't think of because I'm too busy being angry at the water thing.

Date: 2008-07-23 10:10 pm (UTC)Right now I am working on a novel, at a rate of about 5 pages a month (better than 0 pages a month...) and just today I think I came up with a title
I'm also working on a green scarf and other various knitting projects
I think I'm too much of a pleb for this to be the kind of "what are you working on" that you mean, but when somebody tells me I better fucking do something, I fucking do it. If I feel like it. :)

I'm working on relaxing. No, seriously, my mom's naturopath just told me my stress levels are ridiculous. So when I'm not reading for my Ph.D. exams or pursuing my personal fitness goals, I'm cooking, dancing, crafting, etc.

Date: 2008-07-24 12:26 am (UTC)I'm in Taiwan, studying Chinese. My goal is to be able to read Chinese newspapers by the time I come back. I'm also working on a research paper about Chinese Muslims, and after that I'll be working on another paper about China or Taiwan, but I don't know what about yet.

Date: 2008-07-24 03:02 am (UTC)Bossy thing.
Date: 2008-07-24 02:20 am (UTC)I'm working on exploring the strangeness that is "stability". I just finished off my first year at this job, I'm maintaining a car loan that's half-paid off, eating well, and paying for my own insurance (car and health). From what I hear in the news, I'm doing better than most of the people in the country, even though I'm making a rather humble paycheck.
Now I just have to factor in some better ways to have fun than stare at screens.
Re: Bossy thing.
Date: 2008-07-24 03:03 am (UTC)Stability is neat. Interesting and new :)
And there's dancing, talking, ping-pong. All fun activities.

Date: 2008-07-24 02:57 am (UTC)Working on the Visual Novel and Graphic Novel adaptations of a story I've been kicking around for a while called "Transformation Sequence."
The short version:
"Talia Andrew Black has had a crush on her fellow college student Ethan Sinclair for a long time. A very long time.
She's finally going to do something about it. There is a fairly major problem with her plans, though.
Ethan knows her by her name and identity at birth... Timothy Andrew Black.
...let's just say she's working on it."
