putterings

Yay. I actually got two pages of Absinthe pencilled today. Even after going out for a walk in the sun, then falling asleep for a few hours.

I also started to take the plastic off the windows in my studio. FRESH AIR.

If I can keep this up then by the time I go down to I-Con next weekend, I'll have pretty much everything that doesn't involve Lexy and her droogs penciled. Wich will be nice. I'm behind a month but hey, shit happens, and Absinthe is not something I care to rush.

With the last code push, all traces of the linkjacking code are gone from LJ. But I still sent off a check to Dreamwidth yesterday. It's been eight years with LJ, I met my husbands here, but the site's just... changed. And not for the better. I'll still be crossposting and I think I should be able to maintain crossposting of stuff to friends groups but I really just don't trust LJ any more. Once I get things set up I'll let you know what username I've decided on over there.

The good news is that managing the difference between people you want to read and people you trust is a lot easier over there. The bad news is I don't know how well that will translate over to LiveJournal.

In a pinch, you could add LiveJournal friends as OpenID users to your access list and they could read the locked-down stuff over there without creating a Dreamwidth account.

I have a weird urge now to compile a Lexy-themed mp3 playlist to inspire you while you do her scenes.

Maybe it's because the phrase "Lexy and her droogs" puts me in mind of this old Robyn Hitchcock number:

Crabwise
Over the Andalusian extensions of the life and loves of Noddy
Through the windows of disgust
The teeth of Leppo and his managers awry
No time to cry

Sunrise
A lamp of no position in the loss of all existence
To the vultures without bibles and
The preachers without leaves that pass it by
No time to sigh

All them pretty women
Planted in a row
You see them in the newspapers
But you can't have 'em -- no!
No no no no no no no no! Oh ho ho!

They get Lep-Lep-Leppo and the J-J-J-J-J-Jooves
They jump on anything that m-m-m-m-m-moves
On taxis, coffin-lids, Americans, piano-heads and roofs
Leppo...

Likewise
A farmer and his diary might conspire to freeze a widow
So I went to rob the lizard
Of his skin, his coat, his money and his earth
All that he's worth

Someday
You realize that everything you do or see or think of
If it interferes with nothing
Might as well dissolve in arrows or in tears
Nobody hears

All them famous people
Washed off in the rain
Leave not even a puddle, baby
All you leave is your name
Huh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Your name!

I got a name, baby
It's Lep-Lep-Leppo and the J-J-J-J-J-Jooves Oh ho ho!
They jump on anything that m-m-m-m-m-moves
Ah ha ha! Ah ha ha.
On taxis, coffin-lids, Americans, piano-heads and roofs
Leppo...

Listen
And you can hear the dripping of the clocks, the reaping of the sun
the vengeance of the hammer and
The squeamish tight explosion of the liar
Burn in the fire

Gazing
With unforeseeing eyes into the smoke, the lungs of war
And all the endless formulations of unusable beginnings that
Have grown from hungry rivers into trees
Nobody sees

All them hungry people
They don't look so good
But I don't let it bother you
I don't see why it should
No no no no no no! Oh oh ho
Oh ho ho

Lep-Lep-Leppo and the J-J-J-J-J-Jooves
They jump on anything that m-m-m-m-m-moves
On taxis, coffin-lids, Americans, piano-heads and roofs
Leppo...

One of these days, you know. One of these days I'm going to listen to some of this fellow's material. I've still got Muse and a couple of others that I've probably forgotten on my queue too. So much music.

He apparently played guitar on a track on The Decemberists' The Hazards of Love, but it's a pretty short piece—no singing or anything. This concludes another round of Six Degrees of [Favored Musician Here].

I cannot afford to sign up for Dreamwidth, and I would need a code for a free account. If you happen to have an extra, would you be willing to send it to me?

[eriscontrol.livejournal.com]

There are tons of codes for the taking at dw_codesharing (http://dw-codesharing.dreamwidth.org/). You may have to be fast, but I got mine with no problem.

[foxfirefey]

If you need one, just let me know and I can provide. I totally owe shatterstripes for that awesome affiliate link reporting.

[doodlesthegreat.livejournal.com]

I'm going to use eriscontrol's link, but if that fails, I will contact you.

New Driving Revenue script up:

My word, it's actually not obfuscated.

I wonder: did its parser get fixed? And here's a link to China Miéville's forthcoming novel on Amazon; here's the same link with my Amazon ID…

man, I just need to hack away on the two things between me and DW migration and stop worrying about LJ.

[foxfirefey]

I thought you'd want to know about it, anyway!

OMG THAT NOVEL IS COMING OUT SO SOON. I CAN'T WAIT.
