Mikado is officially over. It's been a total blast to work on. Plus, I made a pro blog post over the weekend about my program design work (which, if I may say so, was very well received) for this production: Designs for the Blue Hill Troupe’s 2013 Mikado

justom's class is having its LA Showcase performances today, starting in just a few hours (2pm PDT ( Read more... )

While watching Boardwalk Empire with justom last night, I finally sat down and re-posted or adapted a bunch of work-related content to my pro blog. Going back years. A lot of years. :-) I think there's still art stuff I am missing that I need to add, but will review more later.

Off to catch the MetroNorth to do (what has become) my annual Gilbert & ( Read more... )

It struck me last night that one of my problems these days with doing any writing (including posting to LJ), or art, or even the freelance (book production) job I've committed to doing, is that I work fairly intensely on the computer all day... so that when I get home, the LAST thing I want to do is sit back down at the computer. Or at least, I can ( Read more... )

( video behind cut, because I am tired of waiting for it to load every time I view my journal page, and I bet you are too! )

So, so tired, you guys. So tired. And I haven't been posting to LJ because somehow, in the past 2 weeks, I magically became one of those 21st-century creations known as a full-time Social Media Professional. Though you may have noticed that I'm now on Twitter and, if I must incriminate myself, Foursquare. :-} But, thus I spend a lot more time ( Read more... )

This has stuck with me since tallou shared it to Facebook about 2 weeks ago:
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential ( Read more... )

Here's the Rosh Hashanah postcard I sent out. Let me know if I forgot to send you one!
Note to vettecat: I fixed the typo you pointed out. :-}

So, as mentioned yesterday, I have been digging through old documents in the process of overhauling/updating my website, and one more thing I turned up was my Fall 2001 Pinafore filk:

I notice that I've been getting some extra hits lately on my Five-Minute Sorcerer, a copy of which I brought along to the negass marathon and loaned to cycon. I find that it holds up pretty well on the re-reading, at least for my personal enjoyment, so that's always nice ( Read more... )

Going around right now is this "top 15 authors that have affected you" meme, but I'm not doing that today. All I have for you on the topic of authors is this:

I just reread Marge Piercy's 1993 novel He, She, and It (I'm proud to say that my copy was sent to me by Ira Wood when I was doing some typesetting work for the Leapfrog Press, back in ( Read more... )
