Busy Little Bee
Back to the grindstone again.
After a somewhat more manageable last couple of weeks I find myself once again in the middle of a lot of projects. A short break in one of the TV series I’m writing for is now done, and they’re in “We need it yesterday mode” with two episodes [...]
Comic Book Progress
123 pages and counting. Don’t ask me how many individual “chapters” or “issues” that is, because I haven’t bothered to keep track. I think novels have pretty much spoiled me, I find it pretty difficult to squeeze all the plot I need to into the allotted space sometimes without giving the [...]
Scary Grown Up Stuff
So the Wife’s application for Canadian Permanent Residency was submitted a while ago, and we got a letter back saying that the initial phase (Whether or not I was suitable as a sponsor) has been approved and her application proper is now being processed.

Holy Crap
Official word from RedOctane, creators of Uber Rock game Guitar Hero, they have announced a new song confirmed to be on the Guitar Hero 2 playlist:

Comic Book Submissions
Well, part of it is done, anyway.
The cover letter itself is one page. The outline of the series runs another five pages, and the character descriptions totalled up five pages as well, bringing the written portion of the submission to 11 pages. There’s still the actual character designs and the minimum [...]
After Watching Monster House
I came out of it having found it surprisingly enjoyable. I also realized exactly what was going on after the opening credits showed a leaf being blown about all over the street, and then the closing credits revealed Robert Zemeckis was one of the executive producers…
Well It’s A Start
Look, physical evidence of our comic online! Whee!
And thanks go to old college friend Aerin for making sure the Latin doesn’t make us look like idiots.
Productivity Sucks
If there’s one thing that really bugs me, it’s keeping busy and doing stuff everyday. I really get off on being an idle slacker so actual deadlines, hitting milestones and all that other assorted managerial crap tends to get on my nerves, and yet that is exactly what is happening these days.
I find [...]
