the creative plane wreck ~

[lookingland]

i had a three-day weekend during which i was really hoping to accomplish something. i started off well. did the dishes, went to Stillwater just for a nice outing. but i felt mungy all weekend and ended up watching really bad movies:

director: here's a great idea for a film ~ it's the end of the world and we have all these great special effects ~ trains! planes! we can make it horrific and exciting!
executive: what's the plot?
director: who cares! stuff blows up!
executive: who's your star?
director: hmmm, witlessly scripted, insipid plotless mess overreaching for profundity, but with great special effects...how about nicholas cage?!
executive: perfect! roll film!*

that's my imitation of utter_scoundrel, who is fall more clever than i in such matters.

anyway, i tinkered a little with Reconstruction, but not nearly as much as i wanted. i added some about the author-type info (as requested). i added a new scene which might actually be an old scene to some of you, though it has a pretty new picture! and i forgot to mention that i added a rating warning to the site (which you can read here). most of the time i don't worry about what other people think of my writing, but i did this is because i think my Disneyesque illustrations can give the wrong impressions about this project.

oh, and i wrote a very brief early history of the Darkesville Independents revealing at least a few little never-before mentioned details. this is not a live link anywhere on the site, so consider it exclusive content (aren't you special?)

i also discovered that the notifications are broken (and i haven't the oompa to fix them ~ meh). i am not in the proper flow with this and i still haven't got the archive or the galleries in order, which is a frustration. but i am going to work on the stories this week and maybe with more content, some solutions to the organization will begin to present themselves.

happy monday all!

* in my defense, i did not actually pay to see this drek.

Nicholas Cage baffles me. I have no idea how that man is an action star. He looks like my dentist.

[utter-scoundrel.livejournal.com]

I may sound cynical, but I think its because he's a Coppola (see also Drew Barrymore, who came from a line of actors far more talented than her).

[lookingland.livejournal.com]

i remember when he was still interesting and had possibilities, now he's been in at least three of the worst movies ever made.

Me neither! Eeek!

What, you couldn't feel the pathos oozing out of him during Ghost Rider?

[lookingland.livejournal.com]

you have no idea the pain.

[lookingland.livejournal.com]

he just gets weirder and worse as he ages.

"who is fall more clever than i in such matters."

Never.

y'are, blanche! y'are!

(sorry, it was the misstyped "fall" in that sentence that made me go there).

The Creative Plane Wreck feels like it should be the title of someone's blog.

Not mine; I'm giving up creativity for Lent. Or, uh, something.

[lookingland.livejournal.com]

oooo, i shoulda thought of that!

hahahahaha ~

That plane photo is all the proof I need that trains are the only way to travel.

Yay for the "About You" section. Did the antique-poking warrant any finds?

[lookingland.livejournal.com]

funny, that ~ there's a huge train accident in the movie too ~ hahahahaha.

i found nothing too fabulous to live without, but had a great day nonetheless. i guess it's for the best that i didn't discover anything too wonderful ~ i ain't got the money to spend anyway. still, i look forward to going back before the "season" starts (and it gets crowded). there's a lot of shops i didn't get to.

I don't know why, but getting smooshed up like a sardine seems a better way to go than falling from the sky in a fiery ball.

Glad you had a great day! Antique-poking is so much fun...:)

[lookingland.livejournal.com]

you feel about planes the way i feel about boats. better to fall out of the sky is a fiery ball than sink slowly into the dark cold depths of the ocean. of course, a plane crash on the ocean would be the worst of both worlds, i suppose.
