Looks like I'm headed out of here circa Feb 12th. I have had a fight with my sister's boyfriend and he is not amongst the group of select folk with whom I can have a fight and we can just recover from it and be cheery and happy again soon after like nothing happened. He is now on my Shit List.

Now, I am stuck...

Well, I'm not feeling too happy about my Kickstarter project. There's only 17 days left and I haven't gotten any new backers since day 3. It's not likely I'd be able to get the thousands needed in such a short time as is left.

I did finish a new screenplay in about 10 days. It's an adaption of some crappy book my cousin's production company...

Got more stuff to do than there is possibly time to do -- must memorize lines for the commedia dell'arte play I'm in (this one is scripted), translate the Petit Albert, promote my Beaumarchais fundraiser, and write a script based off some book called Paranormalcy for my cousin. Plus the usual spellcasts, blog posts, bread-baking etc.

My Kickstarter page for the Beaumarchais Translation Project is all up!

The project is to translate and to make available for free, the complete plays of spy, arms-dealer and author Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais!

I have had this song stuck in my head for days. Passing it on might be the only way to remove the curse: kind of like Ringu.

I'm going to be starting up fundraising efforts through Kickstarter for that Beaumarchais translation project. At the moment I have an embarrassingly cheap looking website in the works for it: https://sites.google.com/site/freebeaumarchais/home

I also made a similarly embarrassing video for the Kickstarter site, which demanded one.

It'll be a few more days before things are ready to launch at Kickstarter because they need to confirm my...

Oh, Christmas. The holiday that allows me an excuse to take time off all those important projects I've been working myself to the bone for, so that I may work myself to the bone on other projects that were put off.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

Got lucky tonight -- I was falling behind on my daily quote for the Petit Albert translation (trying to do 10 pages a day.) It was looking like I'd be skipping sleep altogether when I discovered that there were like 6 pages in a row (out of 10 I needed to do) that were nothing but illustrations. So I was able to actually surpass my...

I got kind of an idea in the shower earlier; something along the lines of Kickstarter, but specifically for projects for me to do. Maybe focusing on translations.

It could be a site listing some projects, or maybe a single project, or maybe it could be done taking requests for suitable projects; and it would list some amount of money I would need to earn...

Doing well at keeping myself plenty busy here in my sister's basement. I think I got everything clean to a point where it only needs normal cleaning now, instead of break-through-the-outer-crust-then-scrub-off-the-real-filth cleanings. If I can actually force myself to follow through, I figured out a difficult but possible plan to finish my translation of the Petit Albert in 10 days. I just need to do...
