Awesome.

Also: I suck at life for not updating TPaL this week, and I apologize for that here and here. I've been going nuts trying to finish the synopsis for The Hierophant for the agent that requested it, even though I have a feeling he's not the "one." But still, in finishing it, I will have another step done in submitting to other agents, plus Llewellyn's YA fiction press, Flux, which is one of the few publishers out there of any worth that still takes unsolicited submissions.

I have to show old work today in my advanced editing class. Not thrilled about this. I would have shown my object animation, but I fear it is lost forever (I haven't had the heart to look on my parent's computer in case it really is gone) since the HD crash of '09. I have other things to show, but other people have better things- everyone else took intermediate video, and while I kind of did too, all I have to show for it is trapped on a computer in Oxfordshire, England. So, I think I will show "Strikes," the film I wrote/script-supervised/produced/co-edited for the 48 hour film festival. It won "audience choice"!

Oi. Okay. I feel down right anxious right now. Is it about showing my work? I don't know. I feel strange. Like I had too much coffee. But I haven't had any. Maybe I need some? Weird. Hyperactive? Me? How very, very unlikely.

Um... what else... oh yeah! I'm going to do a mid-grade cleanse next week, as it is the beginning of Fall and seasonal changes are always a good time to cleanse. Nothing too ascetic- fruits, veggies, brown rice, boiled eggs. Possibly yogurt. Lots of herbal tea. The hardest part? I'm also cleansing from technology. I won't be on the internet at all except to check my email 3 times a day and to post TPaL stuff. No Facebook. No Twitter. No LJ. Why? Because I spend too much freaking time on the internet. I've done this before in the past, and it's difficult, but I always get so much more work done.

I think that's all for today! :)

I actually keep my computer up in my room to stay off of it. When I get really lazy I can't be bothered to walk upstairs just to sit on the computer. Now if I could fully unplug I don't think I would. I have all my classes this semester online and writing that must be done on the computer. My hand cramps badly if I write on paper.

On an unrelated note how far is Toronto from you? I am thinking about moving there next year if I get accepted into any graduate program there.

Ooh Toronto is only about 2 hours in bad traffic! It's a great city, too. They have Medieval Times there! ;D
