dolariHeeeeeeeeeeeee! Closetspace cameo at http://catgirldo.keenspace.com/d/20050706.html !
And I wasn't worried about the outfits being skimpy....just that they sure do seem rather cold. :)
Most of this week has been a lot of clearing up the house a bit from the Suddent Giant Acquisition of All The Stuff We Had in 2001. Everything is now either put away, or in boxes waiting on bookshelves or toyshelves. I spent most of the 4th working on the finally putting up the mountain of laundry we had gotten from the 2001 boxes and watching the Twilight Zone marathon.
I consider the Twilight Zone to be one of the best shows ever written for the small screen (Sci Fi Channel Bad Scheduling Notwithstanding) alongside MASH. Like MASH, though, I can't watch it for very long without getting antsy, because it makes me want to WRITE episodes of it. Really inspirational stuff to me. Rod Serling was a genius, not just with TZ, but with most anything he put his pencil to (How many people know Rod Serling wrote a substantial part of Planet of the Apes?) By the end of the night, I was buzzing to write the next part of AWFW. Mainly because of the Twilight Zone infusion, but also because of something else.
Several of my stories involve tribes. There's the one we're seeing now in AWFW, the Central American tribe of 3113BC in the Zand Stories and a futuristic "burnt Earth" tribe of 3038AD. The Hanna story, where we see her tribe in Europe 12000BC has been brewing in the baqck of my head for a while and unfolded a few years ago as a possible AWFW side project. This weekend was the first time I'd drawn the "hunter Hanna" I've seen in my head for such a long time.
That picture, did something to me, though. It's something that happened to me as I was making the 3113/3038 tribe stories. I get WISTFUL for it. Mind you, 12000BC wasn't exactly the coolest place to be, what with the Internet being a series of rocks banged together loudly at 1 or 2 bits per minute, and health care was relegated to a few local plants...but somehow I get wistful and melancholy for it. It may even have to do with past lives and remembering the "good old days." I asked Hanna if she missed 12000BC, and she mentioned that she did, about how simple everything was, even if it was Too Simple, and how "her job really mattered." Her hunting led to the tribe eating, and nothing else mattered.
While I don't think I want to LIVE in 12000BC, 3113BC or anything much earlier than 1960, it's funny how I get nostalgic for a time and space that may not even exist.
