    Daring to Dream

    Wow, that's a couple of great dreams! It's doable. I'm fairly sure you could fund a trip just for research purposes for less than $20k; try indiegogo or gofundme. With research in hand, you could make a pitch to an entity with better funding for the actual documentary. Does AUS offer art or...

    Daring to Dream

    So...your target audience is "college kids, adults who enjoy wit AND slapstick, and kids who enjoy silliness". Maybe for a real pitch, cite shows like MST3K or cartoons that have similar qualities to your shows? Producers ask for target audiences so they know what kind of marketing to do, what...

    Daring to Dream

    Aww. Snowth, that was brave. Been in that same position before. It was actually a friend of mine who didn't feel about me the way I did about him who prodded me into looking on a dating site. It sounds to me like your friend values you a great deal. So, she's not the One. But that doesn't mean...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    "Haven" featuring Ronan from VNV Nation. Hopeful despite the uncertainty in the lyrics.

    Daring to Dream

    Hi all. This week marks the 3-year anniversary of me meeting my sweetheart (and five days later, our engagement anniversary, same year). Lest that sound very self-congratulatory, the point is: I spent most of my life trying and failing, personally and professionally, fighting depression, and...

    Sometimes...like on those days I've actually had at least eight hours' sleep!

    Questions about anything

    That is very old-school, and not wrong...however, it's pretty much expected these days that a company advertising an open position will list the salary, and often benefits as well, before they even start interviews.

    Ohhhh yeah those. Heh. You know, I really need to do some new art. My Uncle Deadly shirt has sold fairly well on redbubble. Should make some new stuff.

    You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if...

    YMBOAMF if the line "Aw, come on, guys! I wanna go to Hollywood too!" joke in the MST3K ep "Cry Wilderness" had you howling in hysterics a good five minutes.

    Questions about anything

    It is considered perfectly acceptable to inquire about the salary and benefits offered. Generally, the employer should offer that information right up front; a company that not only didn't do so in whatever the initial job posting was, much less by the second interview, sounds like a skeezy...

    Confessing Fears

    The flying monkeys the Wicked Witch of the West sends out in "The Wizard of Oz" freaked me out as a little kind (maybe 4 or 5 years old). Ghosts used to scare the crap out of me, but once I learned they can't actually hurt the living, I find them more of a nuisance than anything else. (Long...

    The last TV show you watched was...

    "Travelers," which isn't going the way I thought it would (and it always pleases me when a show or a book throws off my expectations). Decent scifi premise and good suspense.

    My sweetie is in the next room right now making us a cute sign for our garden plot using woodburning and a Dremel drill. And this coming Tuesday we find out which plot in the community garden will be ours!

    Said reboot exists and is CGI. I haven't seen it yet, though. Apps...could be comic, but the clonky gadgets were part of the appeal. Also, I haven't seen whether Maurice Lamarche is involved, which he'd have to be IMHO to make it worth a watch. I'm surprised you remember I like Gagdet...or have...

    One mango margarita, a new chapter, and 4600 words later, I am well pleased with the new story. * Sting voice* I WILL write it! Here's to creative weekends!

    Happy Easter!

    Egg hunts are fun. When I worked at Bookmans, we had a kids' event one year where we hid eggs all over the store. Several of them had store credit inside, most had candy or chocolate, and two had tickets to win giant chocolate bunnies. The look on the face of the tiny kid who won the biggest...
