November updates

1. Riff

Riff is up to over 13,000 words, somewhere in the middle of chapter two and still going strong. I'm actually having to force myself to set it aside so that I can concentrate on school work, which is a good sign. I had to retool some of the characters, but things are looking good.

2. Flat 48 Book

I promised to have 12 chapters done by December 3rd, but I'm not so sure that's going to happen. The ones I have finished look pretty good, I think. These are the chpaters I have so far:

Journey of the Mind (Jaime's plane flight)
Passageway (the Arcade)
The Biggest Dump (Michael Andrews concert)
[untitled, possibly "local food local music"] (Darren Hayes concert)
part of an Ireland chapter
A Library Survival Guide
Regression (mandarine oranges)

I made a drawing for the cover of my draft that I want to turn into my INS class, but I'll need a scanner so I can colorize it. I'll post it when it's done.

3. Drawings

I have been doodling (mostly in my history notebook). I've got a pretty good Hot Fuzz drawing I did for fun one day. I also starting thinking about the Burbank with a Baedeker comic series again. I retooled the look of Milo, but Burbank and Lenore still look the same. Now I just need a script. And a style.

And I made this last summer. I forgot to post it earlier. It's for Bowling Shoes and Murder. It's the result of being bored at work (that plotter takes forever!).



4. Videos

Have I posted my London vids that are on U-Tube? They're available on my webiste (which just got a new hoopy logo). Otherwise, here you go...

Please note on the Holloway Road satire, I didn't catch the funniest part until just a couple weeks ago, even though I've seen it a million times. I was always watching the convict and never the lady cop. So much for my observation skills.









5. Film

Okay, that inspired false hope. I pulled my video camera out of the closet and turned it on for the first time in a year, and both batteries were completely dead. They just drained on their own without being plugged in. But I charged them in time to tape a Sean McConnell concert, which was an awesome show.

6. Editing

In defiance of doing anything productive, I attempted to create some Two Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place montages until I got bored.

7. Masks

My paper mache masks got some time in real life scaring small children for Halloween. Check it out: LINK

8. Photos

Here are some random pictures I've been taking...

English Kickball

Nelson Lake

The Maytals Band

There are others, but MyPhotoAlbums.com is being really slow. It's probably because my pictures are too big...or there are too many of them.


PS. It's my birthday this month and I get to go see Neil Gaiman! So excited.
