Added a new drawing to my gallery, and darned if she doesn’t look cute. It’s so weird to me, to see a drawing that I made, that looks attractive. I feel like it must be some sort of fluke, like I can’t possibly draw well. I wonder where that feeling comes from. I’ve been downloading music from Digimon Tamers (season 3) at a furious rate lately, after discovering that […]

“Those of us who have lived through these challenging times have been changed by them. We’ve come to know truths that we will never question: evil is real, and it must be opposed. Beyond all differences of race or creed, we are one country, mourning together and facing danger together. Deep in the American character, there is honor, and it is stronger than cynicism.” — […]

I am ill. Expect no diary entries for a little while. See you all later. (I have a particularly strong diary entry floating around in my head, based on one of Saalon’s recent diary entries, but I guess it’ll have to wait until I can summon the energy to extract it.)

I’ve abruptly hit a block in trying to work on Quiet, so I’m updating this diary in an attempt to distract my mind for awhile. I re-watched the first episode of Boogiepop Phantom earlier today, then re-re-watched it with the directors’ commentary switched on. I’m glad I did, because the commentary has intrigued me enough to make me want to watch more of the show. Boogiepop Phantom suffers from the junction of two factors, based on my experience: […]

I’m happy. I’ve been trying to write four “snippets” a day for my upcoming webdrama Quiet, and I managed to write five today. I’ve now written eleven. Hopefully, I can keep this up. I see that Saalon’s updating his diary again. I always enjoy his writing.

I’ve posted a little page that explains what I’m trying to do with my webdrama Quiet. Now that I have some free time, I’ve decided that I’m going to try to write four Quiet snippets every weekday. At that rate, I’ll have written all forty snippets two weeks from now. This is an aggressive schedule, though. Each snippet is about a page long, and four […]

Sorry that I didn’t write a full entry for today. I’ve had a productive day; I just haven’t gotten around to updating this journal yet. Note that I’ve renamed this from a diary to a journal. The term “diary” implies an intimacy that isn’t present in online journals. I can’t write about my every emotion or frustration on here; many of my relatives and friends read these entries, and I’ve been frustrated with my relatives and friends […]

Click for a larger picture I am embarking on a strange and wonderful journey, starting today. Perhaps I will not reach my destination, but I’d like to try. Up until today, I’ve only once experienced a moment when I perceived a direction for my life. I’ve always been trying various skills and hobbies; anything that gleamed to my wandering eye, really. However, on October 9, 2001, while I was watching Kiki’s Delivery Service for the second […]

Well. I feel like I have a lot to write about, but I can think of very little that actually happened this past week. There was only one major complication in my trip. Monday night, my Dad called the B&B I was staying in, to tell me that the admin assistant at Intersect called home, saying that Tuesday was the deadline for me to turn in my “I accept that I got fired and I won’t sue the company” […]
Thursday, January 17, 2002 — Martin L. King Jr.’s Birthday
This is just a quick note to let everyone know that I’m back, and everything went smoothly, with a few minor exceptions. I’m relaxed, recharged, and re-centered. I’ll write more later; right now, I have a neglected garden to attend to.
