Writing Boot Camp

I just got accepted into Orson Scott Card‘s Writer’s Boot Camp this summer. He is the author of one of my all-time favorite books, Ender’s Game and teaches this intensive workshop every summer. I’ve been wanting to attend for years and finally got up the nerve to apply. He only takes fifteen students. I’m one […]

Friends and family

Rob and I went to brunch with our friend MaryClaire, and had great conversation ranging through politics to food to fashion. We like her a lot. After she took off, I worked on an layout for David C. for a bit he’s doing for the Portland Monthly. It was fairly easy and a ice break

Champagne Tasting

We had a lovely gathering here with fifteen friends for a champagne tasting. Rob used to do these before we met, but hadn’t done one in years. It was a lovely afternoon. I will post a photo or two later, with the menu.

Back in the USA

I just landed in Minneapolis and my next flight doesn’t leave until 9:13 p.m. Jetlag is not really noticeable yet, although last night was the first night that I slept normally. After we finished shooting, a bunch of us went to Rósa’s house for soup, and wine. We watched Dancing Duel, which was a lot

Still busy

Today has still been busy, but it’s been a little slower than yesterday. So I got to watch two of the episodes that I haven’t seen yet. I worked on both, but they finished post production after we left. Ziggy’s Alien is fun, but I love the music video in Secret Agent Zero.

Safe Arrival

My flight was entirely uneventful. I slept for most of the trip, which calls for a hearty thank you to Mom and Dad for multiple eight hour car trips to Chattanooga. I learned at a very young age that if I could fall asleep in the car then I would get there faster. So, thanks

Iceland via Baltimore

I wasn’t in Minneapolis long enough to explore the wonders of the internet. This will not be true of Baltimore. I will be here for another three hours. Woo-hoo! My attempt to stay awake on the first flight failed utterly. I think I managed to confine it to quick naps interspersed with attempts to read.

Gloom

Just the weather is gloomy. After yesterday’s glory, the weather turned back to a proper Portland spring, gray and rainy. I’m in great shape. Eve came and helped me really proof-read the brochure. The number of mistakes was staggering. Hopefully we caught the worst of the lot. So, now I’ll put it on a disk,
