I haven’t died! Really!
Wow. Sorry about the wait. I have this great habit of saying that I’ll post something on a SPECIFIC date, and then missing that deadline by… y’know, three or more weeks. Ahem. Let’s just say that I have some major problems when trying to bring structure to unstructured time. (Which is code for “I’m laaaaazy.”)
I haven’t been TOTALLY inactive, however. I tried out for a local production of the musical Chicago, and though I didn’t get the part, I DID get a call back. As luck would have it, my university is offering a “drama production” course that will let me work behind the scenes instead for school credit, so hey – twist my rubber arm! Speaking of university, courses are in full swing, which is GREAT because it solves that little “unstructured time” problem that I mentioned above.
I’m also looking for a job. I did a demo for a local company that provides voice work for projects ranging from phone systems to video game characters, so I am hoping that they’ll have a tiny bit of work for me here and there. I’ve been interested in doing voice work for a LONG time. But this isn’t likely to suddenly become anything more than trickle income, if it happens at all, so obviously I need to find something a little more… regular.
I still need to get out into the city and take some pictures so that all of you Oz folk can see what my home town is like. Now that I have somewhere to get up and BE every day, it won’t be long before I find the time for this endeavour falling into my lap. I have to go uptown on Tuesday, actually, so with any luck it’ll be then. We’re supposed to get a week of sun now that the tail end of… whatever hurricane that was has passed through. (Hanna, maybe?)
My original intent tonight was to post some pictures, but I just have so FREAKING MANY. Resizing, uploading, and inserting them takes FOREVER (not to mention, my laptop is getting old and slow, and my internet connection at my desk here at home – which is where the ergonomics are decent enough that I CAN stay here for a couple of hours – leaves much to be desired). I’d like to make them available on some sort of photo hosting website, but I don’t even know where to start. I have a Flickr account but I don’t know if it’d work for so many pics. If you have any advice, I’d love to hear it.
So stay tuned, at SOME point in the near future I will have pictures and actual content for you. Swell, eh? For the moment I’m going to devote a little time to some long-neglected writing projects.
