Howard Hughes and the Little White Pills
Last night...no, this morning, the insomnia laughed at enough pills to put a horse in a coma. I finally got to sleep sometime after four ayem.
Yesterday was the sort of last-minute tedium I'd expected, getting the galley pages of The Red Tree ready to go back to Manhattan, the long letter I had to write detailing why I'd made the changes that I'm ( Read more... )

I have to say that I miss the good ol' CRK Usenet Group.
Truly, I don't. The death of the Usenet group was long overdue. I simply could not abide the fact of trolls, or the fact that there was, ultimately, no way to combat trolling.
(I even managed to meet you and get you to sign my copy at a little book shop in L.A., once upon a time.)
Gods, I don't recall the name of that shop, but it was in late Oct. '98, or very early November, and I read from Silk. I clearly remember meeting you.
Wish you'd still do a comics mini-series, now and again.
Sometimes I miss doing comics. Mostly, I don't.

You and Vince could do something short for Sirenia?

I've thought about this recently, actually. It's mostly an issue of time on his end. I can produce a script fairly quickly, but then he has to draw and ink it, and that would require more of his time, probably, than I could afford. I'd love to do a story over several issues, two or three pages per. I just don't know if it's feasible.

Could you write the script now and have the comic itself come out at the end of the summer or even in the fall, so it wouldn't be the same kind of time-crunch as a month's illustration, or is it literally a matter of affording?

A little of both. Vince is at least as busy as I am. And I can only afford to pay him so much, and he can only afford to work for me so much. I haven't spoken with him about this, and I'm sure he'd love the idea of doing it, but I think there's just no way to make if affordable for either of us.

Wow. What a memory. My memory is enhanced by some text files I saved concerning your California events. It was A Different Light, on Thursday, November 05, 1998. Your entourage consisted of Jennifer, Christina Faust, David J. Schow, and David J. Skal.
My brother came along, too. On the drive to L.A., I remember we saw a hell of a meteor, near the horizon -- one of the best I've ever seen.
You read from Silk. In attempting to choose a "safe" passage, you unfortunately selected the beginning of chapter 5 (Robin), which almost immediately describes her as still horny, even after the hour she'd spent in bed, masturbating with a dildo. I thought it was a most entertaining choice.

Bingo!

Yeah, "safe passages" are almost impossible for me. Worse now than back then, I suspect.

Are you sure that was me? That doesn't ring a bell. I used to be a chemist. And I love cats. But I don't remember any "ringing hair". Possibly some other Cleve. Or, possibly, this Cleve has forgotten; that wouldn't be too surprising, either. But, hey. If it was a good one, I'll take the credit.
> And as much as I love LiveJournal, in the five years I've been on it I've rarely had much luck getting a genuine conversation going. Very understandable, to me. The mechanics of conversing are harder in a format like this. You have to click behind the scenes, find your post, and carefully check for replies. The system seems to e-mail people when they get replies -- that's the only way I discovered that you had replied to my comments. Then I came looking, dug for it, and found it. And now I have to "log in" if I want to post -- which means looking ( ... )

See if this rings a bell: talking about a cat that had fallen into some chemical fertilizer or similar thing that you don't want on your loved ones. The cat trying to shake off the disgusting moistness, and its hair ringing when it happened. A quick washing to make sure the cat was okay, then a quick vet trip to find out if the cat was okay, and the poor thing recovering but temporarily losing its hair because of what it had fallen into ( ... )
