oh, drat

AG didn't like the final "Hot, Stuffed Turkey" piece. It won't be going up: she's not pretty enough, they think she looks rough, and various other things. I'll be getting some money for it but not the original amount. And I will keep getting work from AG, too - I was worried that this going catastrophically wrong might affect tha!

I'm probably going to hold off making it publicly available until after Thanksgiving, unless they give me the okay to put it in my portfolio now.

I don't think I want to do any more e-card projects. Even without the problems I had initially with this one, doing a full minute of animation eats up my brain for several weeks. This is one of the things that made me reluctant to go back into the animation industry - I kind of obsess on the project until it's done, with my brain working on aspects of it every waking moment. I woke up with this song in my head every morning for two weeks straight. This is part of why I drifted out of the LA animation world: I'm not as willing to give that much of myself for money any more.

Huh. With the exception of some of the bonus tracks, Tull's Broadsword and the Beast is a lot more electronic than I remember it being. It's just as creepy as I recall, though.

Retail therapy: i went out to the local Tower's whole-chain-going-out-of-business-sale and got six albums I had on vinyl or cassette. Three Jethro Tull albums, three Rush. I am still a slut for progrock. Even if I'm ever more likely to giggle at the melodramatic pomposity of the stuff.
