time to try to stop being quite so long and off topic. Life.
I slept all morning because I had trouble sleeping last night: up most the night drawing really bad sketches of Van Kliess and Paragangians and even worse sketches of hands. I need to make some photo references and practice hands. Hands are very hard to draw and very important.
I’m working on round 2 of Aubyn’s Halloween costume: Generator Rex for the actual Halloween. I’ve been thinking about this costume for months. I’m relieved to have it almost done and when it is done, to never think about it again. I love projects being finished.
Speaking of perpetually unfinished projects, I am thinking of writing a Sent’ran Jenzar backstory as a Nano Novel. I seriously don’t have time for a Nano Novel, and precisely because of that I want to just drop everything and write one. I think I need to take a time out from my life and just be myself for awhile.
To take time out to write would be irresponsible, but I could get by with it. Like the time I went to England. Sometimes being irresponsible is the right choice.
What do you think? Should I drop everything and write for a month? Or is writing a Nano novel when more important things are being neglected irresponsible?
As I write this, my 12 year old Daughter is watching Rocky Horror Picture Show, how’s that for being an irresponsible parent?

hmmm, yeah, given that it is rated R I don't know why I even own Rocky Horror now that you mention it. I have not watched the Passion of the Christ or Titanic or the Matrix series because they are rated R. I guess I see Rocky Horror as a sort of carnival thing, not condoning inappropriate behavior but somehow clarifying what is acceptable by mocking what isn't in a fun, loving way. It's sort of a movie with no middle ground. Because of my other daughter and my husband, She watches TV which exposes her to inappropriate content, like crime scene investigation shows, those are pretty bad really, so It's probably not much worse.
The matrix dispite its violent content is an expression of multicultural philisophey and is an iconic film to human schema. I cannot say much on the other two.
I have an objection to some shows made for kids, which in my mind glorify revenge, negative stereotyping, and bullying behaviors, but on those what I do lately is If she finds it appealing I watch it with her and discuss with her the values it promotes. recently she started watching something called Kid Vs Cat and her behavior took a sudden turn for the worse [these things sometimes affect her in an exaggerated way because of her autism]SO I sat down with her and watched an episode and discussed the values reflected by the behavior choices, Although we found both good and bad values expressed in the show, after discussion her behavior improved, and she lost interest in that show for a time.
There is nothing wrong with watching Rocky Horror Picture Show, its fun, its silly and as long as she understands that it doen't reflect real life all is well. Lets face it, here in Australia Rocky is only rated M-mature.

yeah, having thought over the Rocky Horror question, I think the crime scene investigation shows my other daughter is always watching are a much worse influence than something like Rocky Horror.
