Gah! Fruitflies!

Note to Self: If you must dispose of apple cores and other organic material in the office wastebasket, please make sure to change the bag more often than once a week. Unless you like being assaulted by a swarm of overweight nanites...

WORK

I've got a lot of it at the moment. Some of it even pays. Or will pay, theoretically.

Been thinking a lot about the potential use of webisodes recently. And by recently, I mean about five minutes ago. Not that I'm the only one, by any means. I suspect pretty much everyone with creative aspirations in the non-static narrative field has had plenty of thoughtbombs going off in their head for the last month or two. Someday, this will be referred to as the Dr. Horrible Effect.

But while the idea of doing...something with the web has been floating around my mind in an abstract way for the last month or two (and a less abstract way in T's mind--she believes SKINTIGHT would work really well in a direct to web format...as a set-up I can see it, but the overall story is more...singular, less episodic than something like this sort of thing done by someone other than Joss Whedon needs to be), this morning I realized an idea I've been toying with for the last few days would actually break down into brief 3-5 minutes episodes really well.

The best thing about this idea is, I have some ideas about who I could take it to independently, rather than rely entirely on the manager to find someone who might be interested.

THE CHRONICLES OF BROTHER PRECARIUS OF THE ORDER OF OUR LADY OF THE PERPETUAL MARTYRDOM AND HIS ADVENTURES AMONG THE HEATHEN

It's Happy Harbor's bi-weekly staff D&D session tonight. It's weird getting back to roleplaying after such a long while. Weirder still to be doing it in a group of nine people, three of whom are playing one kind of game, three who are playing another, and three who're holding on for dear life trying to make sense of everything.

Weird. But fun.
