Yeah. Like I Said . . . It’ll Be A Week Or So.
Hi. I'm back. Sorry for the wait. Hope ya'll had a super Fourth. I've been making decisions about content on the regular site and I've come up with the idea of sound. ( I mean I didn't invent sound, but I've decided to put some sound on my site. ) Not the usual sound stuff, either. All my own stuff. Short blurbs: like mini pod casts. ( I'm going to do a pod cast pretty soon. I just can't get the software together to do it, yet. I've got three or four different audio programs and none of them are compatable with the I-Tunes stuff. Ah, well. ) Some music -- all my own compositions -- if I can figure out how to transfer it off of my old computer since I can't find a good --- cheap --- music ( see MIDI ) program for my current computer.
I've also been working on something huge. I write. ( Hahahah. Yeah, I know. Just not here. ) I write a lot. I just have trouble finding a direction. Recently, though I was reading through some back issues of Time magazine --- for $15.00 every six months you get a great magazine and the opportunity to read all of their archives from 1924 on up --- and (ZAP) I got a great idea for how to direct one of the main novels I'm working on. I had been trying to use the idea of encyclopedia articles as exposition, but that seemed so outdated to me. Then I started reading the back issues of the magazine and that seemed so natural and timeless. (Like Time itself. Oh, brother.) So . . . the way things are rolling along, looks like by this time next year I might have a book on the market. Whether it's on the Best Seller list is up to y'all, my dear fans. ( Hahahah!! )
I'm also doing some personal stuff. I recently got in touch with a family member ( a close family member ) that I hadn't seen or heard from for about 18 years. It went well. We can speak. It's a bit awkward, but sure, how could it not be. Gonna keep in touch. I'm gonna call once a month and they basically promise to answer the phone. They live in Alaska. ( Really. Alaska. Good thing the old 10-10-220 works all the way up there. ) Probably shouldn't talk about it here. But I will. Probably talk about it a lot as things progress. Probably do a lot of emotional gut spilling. Probably get in trouble. ( Though the actual person doesn't own a computer. Barely owns a phone. )
O. K.. Talk about awkward. So . . . I'll be seein' y'all. I'll try to put something up on the blog or the site by tonight. Still working on the podcast idea. Got some photos on flickr. Search for 1972 tags uploaded in July, 2006. The girl in the yellow dress, holding the big pink bunny. That's me. Also 1970. The baby laying on the weird couch with blue plastic undies about two sizes too big. That's me, too. Should upload them here. But, space is at a premium around here and I've got to put some sound up. Think about it.
Ah. Good-bye. More blogging in the near future. Probably not a week away.
