Twins, Basil!

I have mostly completed the migration of my LiveJournal posts to my WordPress blog. Everything seems to work pretty well; I need to fix any post with an embedded YouTube video, and some posts have the comments repeated over and over, but its up and running for now. I’m still keeping the LiveJournal running, with all posts mirrored; no need to abandon everything just yet. Folks should be able to comment either place.

I haven’t written anything decent since Memorial Day; I’ve been dry as a bone. Bringing some attention back to this blog is intended to help me push through that. I remember when my LiveJournal Friends page used to show dozens of posts a day, now it’s lucky to have five or six. And I’ve let my own self be so distracted by Facebook and Twitter that I made the excuse that this was writing.

So, what am I up to these days?

  • Polishing my resume to score a new job which will allow me to afford my own place again. I’m tired of making “just enough” money. I think I have the skills and experience to bring in the cash for my own place, and still be able to afford toys and travel with a little budgeting. So, we’re going to find out. The Foxes are absolutely Made of Awesome, but there’s something about having my own castle which I’m ready for.
  • Trying to decide which of the outfits in my costume closet would work best to wear for InterventionCon this weekend. It’s not an anime or SF con per se, so I’m having trouble deciding which outfit’s the winner. The black steampunk is one of my all-time con favorites, but I wore it to Intervention last year. And by the way, that’s an amazing con. You should go if you can.
  • Finishing a script that we may film the last weekend of September, if all goes well. It should be a lot cheaper to film than the last couple I did, which is an excellent bonus. No travel for me, and no fancy sets. 🙂
  • Finishing a costume which will premiere at NekoCon if it doesn’t look hideous on me. I’ve been trying to complete it since Anime Mid-Atlantic – heck, the fabric is right here in front of me. But flagging confidence in my sewing skills and body image has kept me from jumping in and getting it done – it’s way past time.

So, is anyone reading this working on anything interesting?
