i must be drifting, somewhere.

I don't think anyone other than my wife could deal with the DM (read: Alan) thing. ..I mean what would we talk about? Our days? Fuck that. True love is making fun of Martin's stage outfits together.

Three days into the year. I have made a pattern for the head of a soft toy and will someday grow up to be a mercenary or a synth god or some one with emotional problems and a wee guitar.

I bought Zaffers a PSP on whim. We now have 2 DS's (one is in the post) with 5 games (LOZ spirit tracks, cooking mama, Disgaea DS, Scriblenauts and FF IV) and a PSP with 2 (Prinny and Persona). And I had tried so hard to stop gaming. Oh bloody well. It's the only thing that ever seams to get me to properly relax and it's better than refershing twitter all day. The PSP is rather nice, big screen and it can to a lot of non game stuff which is nice for Wife becasue she is still sans computer at the moment.

Almost done with my first spell-check/coherence-check for the novel. Getting into the rushed parts and I find my self wondering what the sweet fuck I was on about at times. So I know there will be a lot of fleshing out to do on the next pass but right now I'm just getting something readable so I can offer it up to some people for crit. I added one scene I skipped during Wrimo and I just have to write the epilogue. ...ça va.

I'm now wondering about what to do next. I need to start caring my moleskine at work again because I only ever get ideas when I am in the middle of things. Need to get in the habit of reading again. Fuck all there is never enough time in the day.

Angel story
Faerie punk thing
Type-D
something something... meow meow meow.

Structure and release
drawing chalk outlines of the orbits
on the hard wood
and the soft ones as well
time unspent can not yield statements
over limits of character
lacking quotas
one prays
perhaps there will be a song on the tongue of the next rotation

Caution: Really rather twee.

So one year until we move to Portland. I am taking this year to try and get myself ready for real life. Living somewhere where I will have opportunities to do what I want to: write and draw.

This means: getting a presentable draft of my novel and getting a portfolio together.

Two big jobs and the full time one that actually pays me.

I can do this.

*deep breath*

I can do this.


Oh also let me know if you got your cards if you asked for one and if you liked.
