Reason for stopping: end of scene
Sustenance: red curry chicken & mangoes
Darling: n/a
Tyop: ten million, none of them interesting
Researchy things: Not work safe! A gorgeous girl with an e.e. cummings tat... guh. That makes up for all the scary things I waded through to find it. (What? It's research! Really!)
I've had several useful crits on the beginning (thanks, guys!), and I now I have vague and contradictory ideas about what to do. I guess I'll let it stew for a bit and see what clicks. It would be easier without a certain character there in the beginning, but I figure someone has to know what's going on, and it usually isn't me.
I suppose I should pause and figure out what's going on now, if I'm going to keep posting this on the shop, and cram a little more plot into the front end. People get so cranky when they don't know what's going on. :P
Tomorrow Thursday (not like I know what day it is anyway) I go to San Antonio to see And One! Finally! After years of frustration and near-misses! *crosses fingers*
Oh, and I actually watched Alone in the Dark last weekend. Am I become anesthetized to the evil that is Uwe Boll, or was it really not so bad, comparatively? I mean, Blood Rayne was a gobsmacking nonstop onslaught of awfulness, and I only made it 15 minutes into HotD. AitD has the usual Bollian asstastic camera work and a ridiculous amount of voice-over exposition, but I wasn't crying by the end. And Christian Slater's coat was nice.
