Went up to visit my folks at Texoma. Took some of the Tribe with me. Bambi-Jacque (with Doss-Man, of course), Mermaid and Nyxia came along for the ride. Was hoping Mousie and FlamingoKing would make it up after the Cancer Together shoot (new cool project, details later) but alas, Tempest technical issues got in the way. Damn Irving ( Read more... )

Ok, you caught me. Since Junior and I got too busy with work in June to make the outing we promised ourselves (Dallas World Aquarium), we instead opted for playing at The Science Place today. Mind you, Mr. Morose was so worried about losing his job for calling in sick (which he never does, even when he is) that he was edgy for awhile. Then he ( Read more... )

Awwwwww YEAH!I am proud to announce that Tempest Productions' latest cutting-edge documentary, "Invasion:ANIME" will be premiering at the St. Louis International Film Festival in November 2002 ( Read more... )

Dunno why, but it seemed the Zob NoiseTM seemed appropriate. I'm less crispy than last week (trying to do my best Phoenix impression!) but still a bit bumfuzzled. I really need a week off to rebalance myself. I'm still really raw and twitchy about things that I'd usually let roll off my back ( Read more... )

Freedom from work, most importantly. I took Friday off... because I could. Reporting hell starts all over again on Monday. On the bright side, I found a GREAT temp to help (referred from a new employee). She's got a Process Improvement background and did training, tech writing and reporting as part of the gig. (Tried really hard not to drool ( Read more... )

Don't want to question it too much, nor proclaim the Massive Ick over just because June is gone... but I am feeling improved. Not ready to crow from rooftops or anything, mind you - don't want to get carried away. I do have some peace, the calm after the tempest I suppose. And it's usually in those moments when I'm too beaten to be scared or ( Read more... )

Three days, four cameras, 8,000 Otaku and one broken toe... oooof. Almost glad to be back at the office so I can get some rest. Oh, me achin' parts! Now if my email server would stop crashing I could get through the backlog of projects..........

Had a better time than I expected Saturday at faire. Hadn't planned on going out in garb but theotherevilred really needed a Wenches Day Out so I acquiesced. Sooooo glad we coerced cluegirl to join us. That really made the day complete.

I always have mixed emotions when I go there. (Glad I had good company as a buffer.) I see lots of friends (snow_lynx! Trotfox! twilightfenix! Nerilka!) and I remember ( Read more... )

To quote Bill Murray in "Ghostbusters," I feel so... funky. Sleep schedule's been all wonky so I don't know when I am. Took a nap yesterday after Junior helped me continue the Great Storage Excavation. Spent two hours and tackled another 1/3 of the project. Go us! (Nearly took a, well, unplanned "break" but I was afraid they had security cameras. * ( Read more... )

Mr. Migraine's been lurking for days in the guise of a sinus headache. He decided that 4am today was the right time to make his presence known ( Read more... )
