Project Overload
I got two phone calls yesterday...friends that were concerned about my last couple of posts...the perceived anger in them. OK...nothing was perceived...I was pissed when I wrote them. I spoke with one of them last night for almost 2 hrs (you know who you are) and one of the things we discussed...aside from the fact that I don't need anger management treatment, was the number of projects we were each working on...and I'm not talking about "at work" projects. Personal projects that tend to add up as time goes by.
I'm working on SO many projects...I wonder if anyone else has put this kind of pressure on themselves as well. Currently, in my spare time (which is really like having "spare change"...I'm working on the following projects, which I'll put in list format.
1) Weekly cartoon updates. Some of you have seen them...some of you don't read them...but either way, I'm working on them.
2) The 4th Alfred, Unibrow, and the Big Headed Boy movie, which some of you participated in. Half done.
3) I'm writing a book. Pure fiction. Been working on it for a year. It's called "Part One of a Sequel" and so far it's 18 pages.
4) Watching one TV series at a time on DVD. I know most of you won't see that as a project...but it is when DVDs are a hobby. Currently it's Battlestar Galactica, but I'm on the last disc so that'll switch from a project to a TiVO recording soon.
5) World of Warcraft...again...it's a game, but it's a project to reach Level 60.
6) I'm taking a Master Certificate program in Graphic Design at Sessions.edu. What the hell am I going to do with that? Don't know...but I'm taking it anyway...past year and a half.
7) Books...contrary to popular opinion, I CAN and DO read. I'm currently reading 3 different books: POWERS Vol 9 by Brian Bendis, Iterations by Robert J Sawyer, and YOU: The Owner's Manual : An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger. I don't read so fast...
And let's not forget I want to spend time with Katharine and we're planning a wedding!
See...I'm busy...what are your projects? Comments!

The happiness
which this reply produced, was such as he had probably never
felt before; and he expressed himself on the occasion as
sensibly and as warmly as a man violently in love can be
supposed to do. Had Elizabeth been able to encounter his eye,
she might have seen how well the expression of heartfelt
delight, diffused over his face, became him; but, though she
could not look, she could listen, and he told her of feelings,
which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his
affection every moment more valuable.
I take a lot of Pride in my responses to comments...you're just Prejudiced because she's related to you.

"And this is all the reply which I am to have the honour of expecting! I might, perhaps, wish to be informed why, with so little endeavour at civility, I am thus rejected. But it is of small importance."
I think you need to read a different book. How about "Lost and Found" by Alan Dean Foster...it's got aliens, talking dogs, space battles...great stuff.
A different book, you say. How about:
Tested Advice for Authors: Set down your reflections carelessly, and let them be printed; in correcting the proof sheets a number of good ideas will gradually suggest themselves. Therefore, take courage, all you who have not yet dared to publish anything: even misprints are not to be despised, and an author who becomes witty by the aid of misprints, must be regarded as having become witty in a perfectly law manner.
Either you recogize the book, Or you don't.
