… not even a write-track. Sorry.

EDIT:
But for something better to do… fancy some folk-tales? Check some out HERE.

So, do you wonder about the life you lead? I do. I wonder about it constantly. It’s not normal. Never has been. Yet, I still wonder how and why I still exist despite what I do and how I live it.

If you are wondering if I have gone totally mad… I have… been that way for years. If I were to total up all that I do… it would have to add up to… “complete insanity.” Just fucking bonkers. (In reality, at this point, for the good of civilization, I should be chained up and committed.) This is why normal folk give me a wide berth when I walk into a room (apart from the fact that I look like Rasputin warmed over from the dead.) This is why even my friends scratch their heads when I embark on some crazed project (apart from the fact that I have started fire-storms that threaten their comfort zones.) This is why I sit here bobbing in the quagmire of my lunacy pushing myself to the brink… just to be able to say… “it can be done.” (This, despite the fact that I myself am never sure that it actually can.) Still, I don’t hurt anyone (intentionally) when I do what I do (sure, I make them uncomfortable.) I guess that counts for something, huh? (Good God, I need some human contact!)

Happy Halloween! Have a good and safe one while I cross the line into the land of no return.

That’s where we are, aren’t we? I can’t be quite sure anymore. I’m feeling a little blitzed at the moment. Not from the consumption of mind altering substances… just from the constant time I’ve spent in front of the computer.

Halloween is coming up. Not something that I am particularly looking forward to. For some reason a few years ago, someone decided that our neighborhood was primed for candy hand-outs and decided to bus them in by the droves. Since then I’ve gotten candy for the neighborhood kids that I distribute early in the afternoon then leave no later than 5 PM for the nearest bar. I hold out there with a drink or 2 in hand until it’s safe to return. Yeah, I’m a bit of a meanie that way.

I think 3 more days of the write will complete the project. It’s taken longer than usual simply because I couldn’t leave well enough alone and had to add 2 more reversals to the plot. Doing so has necessitated very intense reworks as the script has progressed. Anyway, expect extremely short posts until I’m done. Hope the week starts off great for you.

EDIT: Time Wasters
1. Apparently no cg was involved in the making of this ad… just lots and lots of paint!
2. Make Halloween an educational experience. On this site you can read all about the biology of “B” movie monsters.

… and it’s time to fall back. My computer reminded me today so, this means walking around the house adjusting clocks and replacing batteries in the smoke alarms.

I spent the latter half of the afternoon checking out internet videos both on Goggle and YouTube. It was actually quite entertaining to see what was out there. I was reminded that both Hari Raya (the end of Ramadan) and Deepavalli (the Hindu festival of lights) celebrations were taking place back in Malaysia. I flashed back to all the food that was involved at these celebrations… going out to visit the “open house” of friends celebrating … and the sweet inertia that sets in after all that eating. It did make me wonder what has changed after all these many years of being away.

Anyway, here is video of one of my favorite celebrations that usually takes place around January or February every year. It is the Hindu celebration of Thaipusam. This is when people who have made vows to the Lord Murugan fulfill them. It’s wonderfully colorful… but certainly NOT for the squeamish.

… I just may participate in HNT later today. It could happen.

In the meantime… enjoy the write-track.

… before regular programing resumes here. In case you’re wondering… the write is going pretty well. However, there are some other paying gigs that have cropped up so, I have to split my time. No big deal. Just par for the course.

There is no other news to report. I am hoping to resume being human again soon.

… the write-track. I may update this post later though.
