foxmonkeyIn the mood to write, but not sure what I want to work on. Also in the mood to do something graphic-y.
Speaking of graphics and design and eye candy, what the hell is with the second hand bookstore selling magazines for half the cover price? This place is overflowing with mags that they'd probably sell if they cut the price a bit.
Saw a few issues of 'Print' that made me drool, and one called 'Eye' that I just glanced at. Cooled my heels, though, when I saw the pricing guide. Insanity! Instead of operating the place like the reference section of a library, why not cut the price to something a little more reasonable and get the things out of the store? And into my grubby paws - which goes without saying, and is beside the point. Six dollars for a second-hand copy of a magazine from 1997. Ridiculous in the extreme if you ask me.
The same store's got a mean clearance sale on used CD's, though. Got Joan Osbourne, Seal, EMF, Wild Orchid (sadly, not the one with JC), En Vogue, Martin Paige, and Madonna for either 50 cents or a quarter. Woohoo! Now see, that's what I'm talking about. Slap a reasonable price on the merchandise and make the customer happy.
Created and uploaded an improved graphic for Solo for Two. I have no idea what madness gripped me with the first thing I created. The new one is bright, colorful and much better than the first. I've been looking at it occasionally since I posted it yesterday; it really doesn't convey a sense of the blow-jobbery that occurs in the story but I still like it. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I'm never going to attach a digitally jazzed-up penis to my fic. But you know, I've just changed my mind. Now I have to go penis-pic shopping. A hardship, I know.
Hm. Now I think I'd rather digitally enhance a penis than write. No. Writing calls, and I must away.

Hey, that's kinda catchy!
I've just cleared a major roadblock (I think) in that story, so I hope that from here on out I'll actually be able to write. That story hates me.
Hmmm, and I owe you feedback...

Date: 2002-10-11 04:48 pm (UTC)I think I'll clear some time for that one this weekend. I've already got part of the next section written. Can you believe it, that story started as a little one-part shorty piece. Well, that way *my* intention. The story had different ideas. ;-)

Date: 2002-10-11 04:55 pm (UTC)I did spend a nice hour or so looking for just the right penis-shot for digitizing. I found a couple, but I think I need to look a little more just to be sure. ;-)

Date: 2002-10-11 05:01 pm (UTC)I've got some ideas for that one, too! I've started writing the next part, and I think I know where I want it to go. I have to do a little blocking and see what I need to do.
Glad you're enjoying it. :-)

But, I am absolutely sure, that whatever you end up writing, will be simply marvelous and I can't wait to read it.

Date: 2002-10-11 04:52 pm (UTC)I'm kind of curious myself! When I checked my computer, it had the right date and time and everything, so it must have been a wierd LJ glitch. Thanks for pointing it out. Hey! I should have checked out the winning lottery numbers while I was in the future...
Chasez Lake! I'll see if I can wrap up Justin's 21st birthday by Christmas. Oy vey, with the slow writing.
