just touching base ~

the internet is up, the internet is down. it's been goofyland here for the last few days, so i am sorry if i haven't been responding much, etc. but without internet, i've washed dishes, washed laundry, made a macaroni casserole, done a lot of reading, completed a couple more pages for Reconstruction, and watched a few movies. sometimes it's hard to remember what life without internet is like. then you realize it's probably a great deal more productive on some levels.

all that said, this guy is my latest hero. i like to believe that anyone who is truly dedicated to something will eventually "make it". i like to believe that the only thing between me and success is a willfully obstinate laziness and lack of discipline. anyway, read his story and be inspired.

on the creative front: i'm working, i'm working. slowly but surely. 5 days to launch. i'm sorta excited, i guess. nervous too. too many false starts last year. feeling a wee shy.

doodling today, i made this scribble of a couple of very random young lovers wandering in the countryside on an auspicious evening for the amusement of good company over at jwb1865.


more and more i am considering just randomly doodling the Poppet book digitally (without regard to trying to make "art" of it), and just sort of pastiche-ing it together out of quotes from 1001 sources. and making it a wee more epic in scope ~ kitchen-sinking it, in other words. i dunno. prolly just off on yet another looloo with this. so i will let it sit until a more concrete game plan comes along. a local friend has threatened to buy me a summer "outfit" and make me wear it every week if i don't finish a draft within the next few months. anyone who knows me well knows this a seriously horrific threat.

maybe it could just be a footnote.

I was going to say "I can't believe we're both awake" but it occurs to me you're probably in a time zone where this is secretly 7:42 -- still too early -- but nonetheless morning. Anyhow, with your picture in mind, I'm now going to sleep ^^.
