there was begging for candy on the part of the three kids and one friend, sarah and i as chaperones, and then there was prison break and the daily show and the colbert report (actually, that last one i recorded and just watched when i got home from work and picking up kieran and walking to blockbuster (returned kingdom of heaven and got millions and paper clips)

work was the usual mix of data entry bits, had me thinking about a couple more gardea stories (the horror themed southard, the sands o' red and the pseudo coming of age bit the fliers of offavtop) and reimagining wannabeheroes as a half hour dramatic tv series (a la something like werewolf or that dead at 21 show on mtv a few years back). it's a story i NEED to get back to doing, to finishing, but it requires one of a few formats i just cannot manage on my own (notably an ongoing (but relatively limited) comic book or a tv thing). i really don't think i could tell the story properly as a novel or a one off screenplay (not that either of those would have much more chance of seeing anything beyond my current audience (which can be counted on one hand--and that's if you're hitchhiking and picking your nose and your pinky fell off due to gangrene)

and, of late, i've had thinkings on the vikariad again aswell, but i don't think i'm going to get back into comic stuff again. the ship came and went, methinks. now is the time to try getting some novels out, gotta edit clubhouse blues and rewrite the man with the holes in his hands and get the query letter/synopsis for lion horse tree to some people, and i need to convince myself that sending the evolution of grace screenplay to kevin bacon is a good idea again, or knock that one out of my head altogether

and, i've still got a short story called the water change, tying the gardea stuff to my old demonangel stuff, in the rewriting/finishing department, and i need to get to my mortician screenplay, and i'll be picking up daniel quinn's tales of adam today and spending a bit of time at the galleria, and tonight on tv: house, boston legal and nip/tuck, the daily show and the colbert report
