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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t written anything decent since Memorial Day; I&#8217;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&#8217;s lucky to have five or six. And I&#8217;ve let my own self be so distracted by Facebook and Twitter that I made the excuse that this was writing.<\/p>\n<p>So, what am I up to these days?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Polishing my resume to score a new job which will allow me to afford my own place again. I&#8217;m tired of making &#8220;just enough&#8221; 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&#8217;re going to find out. The Foxes are absolutely Made of Awesome, but there&#8217;s something about having my own castle which I&#8217;m ready for.<\/li>\n<li>Trying to decide which of the outfits in my costume closet would work best to wear for <a title=\"Intervention\" href=\"http:\/\/interventioncon.com\" target=\"_blank\">InterventionCon<\/a>\u00a0this weekend. It&#8217;s not an anime or SF con per se, so I&#8217;m having trouble deciding which outfit&#8217;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&#8217;s an amazing con. You should go if you can.<\/li>\n<li>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. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>Finishing\u00a0a costume which will premiere at NekoCon if it doesn&#8217;t look hideous on me. I&#8217;ve been trying to complete it since Anime Mid-Atlantic &#8211; 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 &#8211; it&#8217;s way past time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, is anyone reading this working on anything interesting?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have mostly completed the migration of my LiveJournal posts to my WordPress blog.
