Questionable

by lara on January 1, 2013

Not quite a day late, but pretty much a dol­lar — or a piece of soft­ware and a mar­gin change — short.

So with­out fur­ther ado — or proper ink­ing — I give you the first install­ment of The Big G.

Today in pro­cras­ti­na­tion fol­lies. I should be adding ID head­ers to the video from last weekend’s Mock Tri­als. But A) I am too dizzy to stand up and work and B) I need to call my doc about that par­tic­u­lar side effect. But C) I don’t have my new doc’s num­ber in my phone and D) If I add it to my phone it won’t nec­es­sar­ily appear in my con­tacts on my com­puter. So… E) I’m now spend­ing time look­ing up what the hell is up with iOS6 and the weird linked con­tacts thing and why it doesn’t sync back to Outlook/Exchange properly.

And F) I’m talk­ing to you all about what you’re doing rather than doing real™ work. What are friends for?

So G) I’m going to blog this because I haven’t blogged crap in weeks.

Also — this made me very happy.

Yes, I know the frame runs out over the bor­der of the col­umn. The video is far too cool to stick into the lit­tle itty-bitty col­umn width that my graphic-miser heart requires for hip­ster credibility.

There’s an entire web­site about it — with lots of pic­tures and mak­ing of bits.

And I’m con­sid­er­ing learning/experimenting with comics and ani­ma­tion. Because wth? I need to go har­ing off after yet another medium for story telling.

October 19, 2012

I’ve missed a lot of read­ing time this week. We saw some awe­some music.… Knopfler and Dylan on Sat­ur­day, Andras Schiff played all of Book 2 of the Well-Tempered Clavier on Mon­day and last night Mozart, Beethoven, Hay­den and a world pre­miere — Dai Fujikura’s Mina, Con­certo for 5 Soloists and Orches­tra. That last piece […]

Things I’m in the mid­dle of: Foren­sics for Dum­mies, Dou­glas P. Lyle — What it says on the tin. Sim­plis­tic but it does the trick as all I’m look­ing for a smat­ter­ing of back­ground and some vocab­u­lary lessons. The inter­est­ing stuff will come later. 29th Years Best Sci­ence Fic­tion, Dozios — Dip­ping in and out. This will […]

Unintentional Poetry

June 25, 2012

Every now and again I redis­cover some long for­got­ten cor­ner of my vasty web empire and have to clean out an over­grown com­ments mod­er­a­tion queue. For a while there was a rash of spam com­ments made up of seem­ingly ran­dom bits of strung together prose. They stopped appear­ing a cou­ple years ago. But I recently […]

Umbrella

Tomas looked down from the bal­cony. This house, the house he’d grown up in, was old, faded. The cool blues and sweet mel­ons of his child­hood for­got­ten and replaced with dry grays and dingy mus­tards. It was as if his mother had taken all of the color with her when she left. Papa had told […]

Line-by-Line

June 14, 2012

When I left, it was win­ter. I had arrived on a clear cold August night. Stop­ping on the butte over­look­ing the canyon, I won­dered if there was any rea­son not to sim­ply con­tinue rid­ing north. To be con­tin­ued… First line cour­tesy of The Ora­cle. But yours won’t be the same.

Leonard Cohen — Machine of Death

June 1, 2012

Leonard Cohen The atten­dant held out the dis­tinc­tive yel­low and orange enve­lope. “Thank you Mr. Su” he said cheer­fully as Kam took the enve­lope. “Have a nice day, Sir.” Kam stepped out of the arcade into the Pacific Avenue rush. He squinted against the low Octo­ber after­noon sun. Damn, no sun­glasses. He crossed the street to […]

Picked up The Jewel Hinged Jaw, Samuel Delany. Because Delany came up in a con­ver­sa­tion recently and then I came across this lit­tle screed on io9:overmind http://io9.com/5910814/what-samuel-r-delany-can-tell-publishing-about-its-latest-trend Typ­i­cally shal­low but hits a pain point of mine about how many authors have suc­cumbed to the pro­duc­tion line via ghost writ­ers and co-authors and how the product […]
