No Time, Must Write

Hi Everyone:

I hope your weekends were fantastic. Mine was filled with writing and talking and more writing and more talking. Feel like my voice is about to die out, but whatever, I don't need a voice to write. My paper is going pretty good, though I've got a bit more to do by the end of today, which is what I'll be doing the minute this is posted.

In other, better news, I not only got interweb working at home, but I've got a guest artist scheduled for Thursday's Gibberish. I'll talk more about that on Wednesday, though I will say that the comic is very much in the Gibberish vein.

Gibberish, by me, tomorrow. I'll see you then.

Weird...

Guess who has an art show scheduled for January? (Visualize me, pointing my thumbs back at myself.) That's right, this guy.

Back on Friday afternoon, out of the blue, one of my friends that I thought had fallen off the face of the earth, calls me up and says he's got a show scheduled for January and wanted me to be a part of it. And, of course, I did not do the smart thing and say "no," since I have more than enough to fill my platter at the moment, and now I must make new arts to wow and astound and possibly sell. I'll try and post some of my works so the world can see what Lincoln gets to.

Other than that, I've really just been buried in my paper, reading heaps of criticism and theory and interviews having to do with Magical Realism. Fascinating stuffs--to me at least.

Oh, and before I go, I must complain about Super Ghouls n' Ghosts. That game...is ridiculous. I never knew anything about some stupid Goddess Bracelet. Stupid Princess, should've just dropped the thing when the demon first comes in and gets her... (If you don't know what I'm talking about, go through and "beat" the thing, and you'll probably see what I mean.)

Actually Made Some Headway

I spent the majority of last night reading theory and criticism of Magical Realism. A bit more interesting than I thought it would be, but I suppose that is the way it should go when you study something that actually interests you. So, yeah, made some good headway on my critical paper, pulling some good quotes from these smarty pantses that will help bolster my own ramblings.

Plus, I even started a new short story last night--at least is better be a short story, seeing as I'm writing it for my next residency. It probably isn't the wisest thing to begin such a venture--I already have plenty on my platter--but I can't help it. This story was starting to gel in my noggin, and if I didn't start scooping it out, I probably never would--or it would drive me crazy. Instead of the incapacitating crazy, I decided to spend an hour writing away.

Really, that's about the extent of things. Will most likely see Burn After Reading this weekend, but I don't know when, and I won't promise a review either. My track record has gotten a bit shoddy as of late.

Anyway, have a good weekend, and I wish you the best in all of your ventures.
