egypturnashI'm still trying to decide how I want to treat this LiveJournal thing. Is it an actual diary, with some pages open to public view? There's a me-only entry, and may be friends-only ones in the future... or is it, as some people have suggested, more akin to a mid-eighties BBS in the social dynamic?
Both are equally valid ways to view it. And I could think of a few other angles given a little pondering.
I suppose I could use it to expose some personal things I've kept buried for ages; some of them, no doubt, will slip out, because they always do. But self-exposure gets old too.
The other day I looked at what paid my bills for half of last year: Booty Call. I was newly astounded at how terrible it was, and at how thoroughly alien to anything I am it is - I have never been a member of the 'wigger' culture, and working on that show (from episode 15 on) gave me an abiding hatred of it. Greeting me with wiggerisms like 'Hey P-diddy!' is, thusly, likely to get a snarl as the nicest possible reaction.
I really have to wonder if The Orb lists the Residents as one of their influences. The track preceding the one listed here is very Residential, reminiscent especially of some of the stuff on 'Eskimo'.
I am dyeing the streak in my hair blue again. For the last week or so it was 'Fuscia Fatale'. I didn't bleach that away, though it was starting to wash out - I need to get some color-safe shampoo, damnit - and hopefully the 'Peek-A-Blue' I have put over it will result in a pleasant purple. I have come to the conclusion that hot colors are just not me.
There is no real conclusion to this entry. It just kinda... stops.

Date: 2002-07-21 06:24 pm (UTC)What's more, a couple of episodes of the one flash 'toon made it into a book about the flash animation revolution. I was all excited that my name would be in a big, glossy coffee table book, until I found a copy at Barnes & Noble... and found out my name's not even there! They credit my bosses, one of which did no work on the project whatsoever (beyond "concept"), with no mention of me and the animator. GR.
At least they don't have my social security number. Tee hee. They never asked me for it while I was working there; then, they tried toget it six months after they laid me off. I conveniently forgot to call them back. Tee hee.

I am, admittedly, biased, since I worked on WPH, but those two shows had a lot more care and craft put into them than almost anything out there... working on them has made it thoroughly impossible for me to enjoy any other Flash cartoon, because all the technical lacks jump up at me, and I want to fix them, before John comes around and gives me the evil eye!
