Earlier, I noted some problems with giving characters (from Project Maddie's Maids) names that had already been used in real life. A similar problem has occurred in the setting "knownspace," which I'm using for several other projects. Of course, problems with naming are easily solved by changing the names where necessary ( Read more... )

As you can see here, I'm working on fleshing out knownspace, the setting arifyn and I created for our Flight of the Blood Eagle film(s). This article in particular gives one an idea of how weird it's getting. (The many euphemisms were quite an exercise in vocabulary.) As I don't have a sense of humor, it's necessarily becoming more quirky than comedic, ( Read more... )

I had two lockers, and I was trying to remember which ones they were and what the combinations were so I could deal with whatever crud I had left in them. I managed to remember the combos and found some old clothes and textbooks. Oddly, the one next to the ladies' changing room was a walk-in locker, which resulted in my having put a lot of stuff in ( Read more... )

So, Mother took me to see Avatar. I know that it's mainstream, meaning everyone else has already talked about it, so I won't go into the overall stuff too much. ( Slight spoilers )

I thought I was being all original and stuff when I came up with my highly-lawful, five-axised-radially-symmetric alien race-until today. You can see what I missed on page 38 of DRAGON 354, courtesy of Ms. Julie Dillon.

As usual, I'm getting caught up in planning all sorts of things without actually following through with much of any of them. This can be easily illustrated by my notes on future LJ posts ( Read more... )

Here are a few things that I've noticed recently:

※arifyn may remember that when I was going to work for him, I saw at the airport that some bodybuilding magazine was censored by putting a plastic sheet in front of it. Well, at the Borders at Wabash Landing, all the Playboys, Penthouses, and so on are put in the back and plastic-wrapped so you can't ( Read more... )

Well, I was listening to Day to Day while driving today, and they were talking about global warming. The first thought I had was, Hmm, there aren't many former vice-presidents who have Academy Awards. Then I thought about the fact that despite how much I hate nature, environmentalism is a good idea ( Read more... )

It was mentioned to me a while back that it would help if I put some basic descriptions of each of my projects so that people could have a context for all the background material. So, here we go:

Project AnthraXX (Type A): When a faithful minister's daughter enrolled in a private women's college to escape the horrors of coeducational life, she ( Read more... )
