Okay, when I start feeling like I need to make fifty Borg posts, I know it’s time to post something here.
1) I almost have my concerto completely memorized. Except for a few notes here and there and the Eb major part near the end.
2) Aja is officially doing my book cover! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
3) I don’t have to do a really really hard modern piece, but I started rewriting it to make it clearer anyway.
4) I am all stocked up for Script Frenzy. Tab and I bought between us about $50 worth of candy. But we’ll eat it slowly. One after every page. Speaking of which,
5) I downloaded Celtx, the recommended free script writing program. I have not fired it up yet, as I have been dealing with other stuff (see above). But I’m pretty excited.
6) I wrote a fairly detailed outline of my first script. That should last me a few pages. It’ll be a long one. That comic will probably take me a couple years to do!
7) When Tab and I were coming back to the school from stocking up, WE SAW BABY BUNNIES!!!! Aren’t they the cutest things you’ve ever seen? I adore baby bunnies; I think they’re the cutest things EVER.
[baby bunny pictures have not been sent to me yet; in their place, here are other baby bunny pictures that I took last year]
[NEW BUNNY PICTURES]
8) I tried out Celtx and it’s actually pretty good. The formatting is easy; you just hit ENTER until you get to the part you want. So it starts at SCENE 1 and you write the descriptor (EXT; FOREST; EVENING) or whatever, and then you hit enter, and it gives you FRAME 1 (I’m in comic book mode) and you write a description of what’s happening in that scene. I guess you’re supposed to be super detailed for you artist, but since the artist is me, I don’t care. Then you hit enter, and it gives you CAPTION (the little box for the narrator?) and then you hit enter again if you don’t want that and it gives you CHARACTER, and then you write a name, and then you hit enter, and then it gives you a line for that character’s dialogue. After you hit enter, it will let you write the dialogue for another character. Or you can hit enter and go directly to the next frame. It’s actually really easy.
It’s strange. The term is coming to an end, and I have all these ambitious plans. I want to publish the book, the T-shirt(s), write comic scripts, finish the other comic, finish the character bio portraits (Flaer is gorgeous), re-read Beowulf, and start my new repertoire. Actually, not even new repertoire excites me right now. Except Duruflé. Oh yeah. Duruflé. Now that’s good stuff. I guess I want a (short!) break from (piano) music.
Oh, and I also want to EXCERCISE MORE. After some good nights of rest. : P
St. Matthew Passion today!!
