I finished the guide over the weekend. It turned out to be a bigger project than I anticipated, and took two extra weeks past my official deadline to finish. That didn't matter, however, since my editor was on an extended vacation and just got back. Now it heads to testing, then editing, then the motherfucker gets printed, and then I get paid. Should be about...

Sounds like a nice plan for work there. Also being able to call your self a writer does sound cool.

I hope this leads to more projects for you. That would be ace.
The lease for the apartment I'm in is up in October. Raesny and I agreed that we're going our separate ways, so I've been looking for a place for myself. Last week when Cody was here we went driving around looking at apartments, and we saw a place downtown. Since I'm not moving until October I put my name on their call list for when...

Oh how I envy you.

Nice.
I'm sorry lady, but your name is Orly. Kudos to your parents for their amazing foresight into internet humor 50 years after your birth, but I can't listen to anything you have to say and take you seriously.
Thankfully you aren't saying anything that deserves to be taken seriously anyway.

I didn't even think of that. Good catch.
Been a while since an entry, but I still don't have much to report. No topics of interest for me to make a long-winded entry about, so here's a quick bullet point update:
- The writing project has begun, and is going well. They want a minimum of 25,000 words. I haven't been keeping track of how much I've written so far, but I've been...

How long is she staying?
prockgirlscout:
Hopefully we'll be moved there by the time she comes up again, then.
I got the gig. I got the email around midnight - they like my writing style and they are offering me the EQ2guide project. I should be getting the contract in the next day or two. The deadlines are pretty quick (five days to a week for each part), but I should be fine. Honestly, based on what I've seen of the guides they sell,...

Today I received my blu-ray copy of Advent Children with all the extra footage and Final Fantasy history features. 2 hours later I'm all weepy and nostalgic. That was an amazingly good time.
They should have released that in theaters instead of Spirits Within.

Well, look at that. Nice through line between our journals.
Today while watching Top Chef Masters I had a horrible idea.
I want to run a charity. No, that's not the horrible part. I want to run a charity that builds houses for the homeless - on top of cemeteries. Just so when a celebrity competes on a televised challenge the host/hostess has to talk about the wonderful charity they are competing for. The one...

I'm home, and I'm fine. They sent me home last night after a quick surgery and a successful dialysis treatment. All is well, and I got worried for nothing.
It seems many people long for excitement, but not me. I long for many, many years of quiet, predictable bliss. Where I wake up next to the woman I love, and spend a long day doing very little other than the simple things that I enjoy. Spending time on the computer. Watching a little television. Having lots of wild sex. That would make for a...

I hope when you read this, you're out of the hospital with an even longer stretch of relative peace headed your way.
It has been many long months and 7 lackluster episodes, but Kings has finally aired an episode worth watching. I had high hopes for Ian McShane from the beginning, but since the show begam he has overwhelmed every other character and actor on the show. Now, though, things seem to have come together. The writing is solid and compelling, and the players seem to know...

Sounds about right for all those places.

I heard that most Portland places don't have A/C. Do you find you wish you had it a lot?
