an update, an apology
In the past two weeks I have:
- Gayed it up pretty well.
- Co-authored a TV pilot teleplay. No, seriously. Read more about that here.
- Unpacked my life after my move home.
- Gotten myself more work.
- Kept busy (clearly).
- Tried not thinking as an alternative.
- Apparently garnered many new readers. Hi, new readers! Look, I have a Statcounter, I know these things. So why don't you all start commenting and then I'll be motivated to post more, k? And I promise I'll always comment back.
- Seriously, though, I have definitely fallen behind on posting and I'm sorry but life just got all crazy. Road trip diary day 2 is almost done and I have heard that there are audio issues with the first day. Apparently the sound works if you go to the actual Youtube sites for each video, so try that if it doesn't work. I think I broke Youtube, is what happened.

I loved the road trip video diary. It took me an eternity to get through it, but was well worth it. Priceless. I'll second the impressive simultaneous driving/singing abilities. Eagerly awaiting day 2. And the tele-play: cutting-edge. I'm holding off on commenting for now. But good to see you girls aren't tempted by pervasive stereotypes ;)

love the blog's title and its vaguely arctic accompanying graphic. love the video diary. love that you identify as a 'tron, lady. basically started coming here (and won't stop) because you're riese's "intern" and for some reason i trust her judgment.
daalkgs. don't know, but: scandanavia? - At 7/10/2007 12:22 AM, carlytron said...

crystal: day 2 is on its way. slowly but surely, as i just started actually having a job again. thank you for the kind words, and i eagerly await your teleplay feedback.
annie: as a frequent Popwatch reader, I'm really excited by your comment. yay. "hyperdonut" was actually the name of a cursor I saw on cometcursor during high school. i don't even know if cometcursor exists anymore, but the name stuck.
p.s. don't trust reise's judgment, as she tried to pass off "yee-haw" as permissible dialogue in an earlier draft of our pilot. - At 7/10/2007 7:01 AM, said...

Hey, I'm a new reader and I just wanted to say that I'm loving your blog, especially the video diary. So funny, and also included some very awesome tunage! Nice work.
In other news, the word verification is 'jeoxf'. If only it were 'jeofx', then it would be like tippex for Jeofs - do you call it tippex in America? I don't know...
Anyway, keep it up! - At 7/10/2007 7:04 AM, said...

because you asked so nicely and because i'm firm in the belief that your pilot will be a raging success: my first comment re: your blog.
one of my friends was reading reise's blog for the first time a while ago and e-mailed me this about it:
She's quite the word smith, I predict she'll end up writing
snappy sitcoms alla Arrested Development and Scrubs.
actual writing ability and friend-based prophacy = success to me.
also the fact that you posted in autowin comments about the arrested development chicken dance video on youtube just after i e-mailed the link to a friend means that i have faith in comedic preferences. - At 7/10/2007 9:54 AM, carlytron said...

anon: welcome! I'm proud of our video diary, and part 2 is on its way. also, what is tippex?
kate: i was actually sitting at THE WRITERS' TABLE across from reise when you posted that comment, she read it aloud to me and i believe there was some high-fiving involved. arrested development is awesome, i'm glad someone else appreciates it as much as i do. - At 7/10/2007 10:22 AM, said...

I think you guys call tippex correction fluid? The white stuff that you use a lot at school when you cock up your homework and can't be arsed to write it out again.

wow, "cock" as a verb, that is possibly the most amazing thing i've heard/seen in some time.
yeah like correction fluid, or "wite-out" as I believe it is spelled. i do know what you are talking about now. yay. - At 7/11/2007 7:45 AM, said...

Wow, just realised I used 'cock' and 'arsed' in the same sentence. I am really quite ashamed. I promise that in the UK 'to cock something up' (ie. to mess something up) is a legitimate phrase, even if not a particularly eloquent one. We also us 'cock up' as a noun, meaning mistake, which is kind of wierd I guess. I don't think it is in any way related to actual penises, or at least that wasn't what I was thinking when writing it. Either way I'm glad it entertained you :)

Yee-haw: What happens when a writer has punched out 10,000 lines of dialogue in an hour.
Yee-haw: Makes me TFL.
Ye-yah: How Hav sorta pronounced "YEAH!" in the reading, which was aweseome. I can't really do it phonetically.
Cock! Cunt! Fuck!
That's all.
