dolariWhen my dad first got his electric pencil sharpener, the first thing he did was take a new pencil and grind it all the way down. That was my work day.
I've been trying to plan down AWFW for the next few weeks, and found that choreographing a fight is much harder than it seems. For one, I just had Abaddon tear up seven angels sent to fight her. Now I have to make Andrea's fight with Abaddon look good. I can't end it quickly, though, or it'll make the other angels look silly. But I can't have it go on too long or it'll turn into Dragonball Z. Finding the right balance is hard. I think there'll be three major "movements" to the fight, one per strip, and then end it. We'll have "Ram" "Capture" and "Slam", each side "winning" it's movement. Then the final movement which is "Repeat" where the fight ends.
Closetspace is already well planned out for the next two strips as well, one being "Question" and the other "Introspection." "To Live and Love in 1984" is prolly going to be short, though. The originally planned three episode "Arc" just wasn't planned out well enough to fit 15 of the new strips. I've also decided that Closetspace ends on too much of a downer, and will prolly expand it out to make up for having shorter-than-expected episodes. Originally, CS ended on a cliffhanger, then jumped 20 years ahead. Instead, now I think we'll have a series of strips "bridging" that 20 year gap. Especially now that I've seen the dynamics of three closely knit people under one roof for a long time. Maybe a full story detailing each main caharacter every 5 to 10 years or so.
One thing I'm going to do before I die is make a music video featuring ALL my characters to ELO's "Twilight."
Another reason I shouldn's cook is because it makes my stomach churn like I just swallowed lye. I'm still saving my MREs for days I miss lunch now (haven't had one all week!) but I'm so tempted tomorrow.... And since I haven't said anything about MREs lately (hears collective groan), allow me to say that my fave item is the rasperry flavored applesauce, the best meal I've had was the "Chicken in Thai Sauce" (containing Chicken in Thai Sauce, Wild Rice Pilaf, Strawberry Jam, Vegetable crackers, raisin nut mix, powdered French vanilla cappuccino and a black tea teabag (and they say they don't eat good)) and the worst was "Spaghetti in meat sauce" (containing Spaghetti in meat sauce, cheese spread, snack bread and a dairy shake (this was obviously packed simply for calories, cause there was hardly any food, and an 800 calorie dairy shake (which I didn't drink...bleh)...not to mention, you got the wierd combination of cheese spread and slightly sweet bread-type-material...I mean the cheese HAS to be for that...but the combination...oy....blech.)
Got paid today, still reeling from the truck breakdown. Damn, it's hard to get up out of financial sinkholes...
