The day came and went and I got very little "work" done. I did, however, solidify my final semester's schedule, dropping a redundant Shakespeare course for History of Modern China (why not?).
Oh, and there was lunch with Josh Elder, writer of Mail Order Ninja and the new Starcraft graphic novels. We talked about publishing and inexpensive yet fabulous Argentinean artists and the proposals I will send to them in the form of short stories, then scripts. The prospect has become to be more real to me. Like it could very well happen in the very near future. Like I could write two or three short stories, or maneuver a couple I'm working on, to be ready to send off by January; a very doable prospect. I will have, after all, an entire month of butt growing and eye destroying to endure. Wee!
He also talked of beta testing and street teaming his new project, primed to begin launch in February. Whereas before things looked like they might happen, now, they done gunna. Which is a good feeling. -- Weather Channel app for the iPhone?! Whaaa? Wait...wait...my phone's battery just died as I was trying out the app. Damn you, battery and my obsessive playing of majong for the last hour! -- ...oh, right, blogging. So, right, I'll be working on those things I mentioned...you know the ones.
Also, I have this plan to finish, at least, three books before I leave: 'Conscious Courtship', 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay ', and 'Kite Runner'. I'd like to crack 'Theodore Rex' and 'Hero of a Thousand Faces' as well but I'm trying to be realistic here. You can follow my progress and read my reviews on goodreads.com, easily one of my favorite sites that doesn't include the buying of them.
Also-also, no hair cut. Too cold. Didn't want to have to wear a hat right after getting things did. Too many short hairs. Too many excuses. Next week, it'll happen.
Also-also-also, there's a $10 triple-feature of 'The Creature Walks Among Us', 'Godzilla vs the Sea Monster', and 'Horror of Dracula' at the Portage Theater starting at 6:00 p.m. Join me, won't you.
Much more writing tomorrow...also, some blogging about where I'm at mentally and all that. Night night.

Kavalier and Clay is one of my favorite books ever--I know you will love it. I also really liked Kite Runner as well, but be warned that it is depressing as hell.
Yeah, that's what I'd heard and why I'd like to read 'Hero of a Thousand Faces' afterwards. Something to bolster my emotional state.
