Check back in later, 2J.
Please don't hesitate to call the doc if it gets worse.
(Although you should prolly call now anyway).
Sorry about that, Corin.
I keep forgetting that you haven't seen it yet!
I agree with Hair's review though. They had too many storylines this season to ~effectively~ wrap up in a 2 hour finale.
It was still fun TV though!
That is one of Clare's favorites!! Several of her friends are into illustration, and at least two plan to attend art schools. One of her best friends, Emilee, wants to attend Savannah College of Art and Design because is it the only college that teaches Sequential Art, which is what she'd need for Graphic novels and 3D animation of an Anime. Emilee is an outstanding artist!
Yep! Very fun TV.... but a lot that will have to be continued next season.... if that's what they do.
In prior seasons... do they start of exactly where this one left off, or is there a time lapse before the next 24 hours?
hehehe...I dunno!
It's my first season too, remember? :-D
IIRC they've done both.
Yeah, I seem to remember her having some MT gear, which is all supercool. I hooked my coworker last week. He sent me an email at about three in the morning saying he'd finished it and now he was sad because he had to wait til Monday for more.
Good for Clare's friends! Maybe they can do something about the dreadful state of cartoons these days. Nothing is both well-drawn and well-written.
No, I was wrong. Reading the summaries (Amazon), there is time lapsed between each of the seasons.
I'm ok. Vision is still a little blurry, but I can see everything. I'm nauseated, have a headache and feel disconnected from the world...typical migraine symptoms.
Frightened me pretty badly at first, though...but when my vision started flashing, I knew what it was. I remembered it from 1997.
The rippling light flashes were a relief to me...that's when I figured out what was happening and quit panicking!
Sigh.
Not only is the a/c here not working, but it's now blowing really warm air into the room. I'm gonna die. Hope I don't have to spend time in the server room today...
Sounds miserable!
It's very overcast here...I'm hoping for some rain...it just makes everything so fresh.
~fret~
And Keith Richards hasn't aged a day. *grin*
I used to have some Dark Horse issues of the SW extended universe that came out in the early 90s. I have since sold them to a friend, and the artist who did the work for the SW favored a lot of blues, and bubbles, and really weird 'camera' angles, and his depictions of the characters weren't always flattering to the eye. However, in the other part of the issues they had the continuing adventures of Indiana Jones and if I remember correctly, the artwork was much different and nicer.
I think I would like to find a happy medium. I want the protagonists to look good, and the villain to look bad and the others to look like they belong in their place, and something simple but not cartoonish or amateur. I would need to have a collaboration with an artist, and thats been the real bugaboo for me right now. I have some friends working to find someone for me, and another who is doing their own doodles for me, which is extremely nice and appreciated, but ultimately, I am looking for an artist partner who can work with me. A friend suggested I go to some of the science fiction cons, but my worry there is that the only way I will get any artists' attention is if I can pay them some money, and I really can't. My goal is to work with them so that we can both get published and recieve experience and credits for a resume, and then (ideally, but not necessarily the most realistic part) that the publisher will pay each of us to do what we need to do if it is a success.
Or, what I am finding out is, I should write the script in screenplay format, and submit that with the idea that the publisher will be willing to supply an artist. What that will entail I have no idea, and I will probably lose control over the artistic quality if that happens. We'll see.
right now though, I am going through a bit of a learning curve, not only in writing a screenplay, but tightening up the story itself into something that that readers will like. I havent done this kind of writing in a while (too much blogging and politics for the last seven to eight years!!!).
That's EXACTLY what I am aiming for...EXACTLY what I have been thinking!!!! that was evident to me the other night when I was in B&N, and was trying to tell a fellow writer about it, but got swarmed by a bunch of the Japanime/manga fans, who didnt want to hear me say "gee I wish there were more AMERICAN stories!"
Im getting an itch in my palm that maybe thats a field that needs some exploring...hmmm??
Don't fret! I'm fine! Once I saw the rippling, I knew what was happening.
It was the vision on the left side of my vision field that I lost...as you can see by what I could see and what I couldn't in my typing. I also lost control of my tongue and could hardly speak and my left hand went numb. As these things went away, I felt like I was enclosed in a tunnel, which went away while I was lying down. I am left now with only nausea and headache, the headache being on the right side of my head, which stands to reason since neurological symptoms "cross over"...in other words, the migraine is on the right, the symptoms on the left.
Now this all sounds awful, but it reversed itself and are actually typical symptoms of migraine aura. I'm pretty fortunate that this has only happened to me one other time in nearly the past 10 years. I get migraines occasionally but only one other time like this.
The thing is, I haven't even had a mild migraine in many months! Wonder what's up?
~shrug~
I'm real sorry I scared anyone...but I was pretty scared at first! I actually thought I had inadvertently gotten pool chlorine powder in my eye...but when I figured out it was in both eyes I got real freaked until it started the rippling flashing business. Again, I'm real sorry!
There's a market for it. The web comic I pointed you to is sold in book form at bookstores, it's a respected entry in the field these days. They attracted the audience online, first, which might be your way to go. Take some time at look at the world of webcomics - Sluggy Freelance and MegaTokyo are the most succesful but there are a lot with devoted fans. If you're good enough, you can get published in dead-tree format.
Haunt some art boards; someone there will be looking for a writing partner!
And read some manga, even if it's not your thing, to get an idea of what the market is right now. (Try a volume each of Bleach, Fruits Basket and Ruruoni Kenshin. In the store, you don't have to buy them. Those three are very good art-wise, story-wise, they're popular and they're all very different.) Might help you out a little....
Sheesh.... you're really sure those are typical migraine symptoms? 'Cuz they sound really weird.
Wanna go to the library this afternoon?
