Welcome to Freeman's Mind.

Oh, man, I'm late....Hey, what's that green crap....This is a disaster...
'There's evidence to suggest that velociraptors had feathers...FEATHERS...' All right, this is stupid...TURN DOWN THE MUSIC, YOU FRIGGIN' BASEHEADS...
'Safety!'...'American Badass!'....and more soulless walls of concrete...Okay, I better chill out, I don't want a repeat of Monday....No! I don't WANT to be schizophrenic!
I am Captain Gordon Freeman of the International House of Pancakes, and I order you to open!
Normally, following a trail of bodies covered in blood is a sign you're going the wrong way...
Oh come ON! That thing teleported out of friggin' NOWHERE! WHY? ...Maybe I was hasty shooting it. This could be an ambassador...
And what is that...it's got tentacles for a face....it's like a Cthulhu dog!

I am waiting impatiently for episode eight. I admit, I'm rather addicted to this mini-walkthrough of sorts.

So. In the year-plus since I actually posted, I've closed my DeadJournal account due to utter and complete personality meltdown on behalf of a friend. So...I will eventually get back to the transferring of what I want to keep, but....it may not be a for a while.

Yes, well, it has been some time.

I've had other things to say.

I should get back to the transfer project, though, and I should get back to the webpage updating...

Formal decision: CSS is beyond me.

I will now completely reformat the web page....USING ONLY HTML, MUAHAHAHA...*cough*

Well.

Okay, it's not perfect, but at least it will be *DONE*.

Okay, I still don't get it.

haven't updated for a while. still contemplating major page overhaul. might not have time for it this week, but definitely will start working next week.

also updated eviscerations. there are now nineteen sections, I think. that also needs an overhaul, but...fuck, I'm too exhausted right now.

in the long, unsteady process of updating the web page. as always, I think it's going to take a couple of hours and as usual, I'm realizing it's going to take a couple days, or more.

in the meantime, running down links, I came across some oddities I'd like to share.

Voronezh Scientists Turn Blood into Coffee, Milk, Chocolate. this happened a year ago, and funny, I haven't heard a thing about it since. quote from the article: "The academy’s administration also noted that the foods created by Voronezh scientists contain unique blood proteins that are metabolized by the human body twice as fast as egg proteins, Interfax writes."

well, yeah--we knew that. what I want to know is--is this 'replacement food source' ever going to see the light of day?

also, did you know that Blood & Coffee is also a webcomic? yeah, I didn't either. I'm not sure the artist knows, at that--Google has it listed as a web comic, but, digging through the archive, all I found was pencil line drawings, with the occasional photo or ink sketch. huh?

there's also a coffeeshop review with the name. I can say I had it first...but now I'm wondering when it became popular enough for folks to crib.

in fact, just to ramp up the surreality, there's a band, a web domain (crap), a blog entry (from a woman who sounds as if she's weirdly accident-prone like me), and at least one poem. whoa.

and here I thought I was so original.

also? image maps are outdated. therefore, I'm making one. don't ask. it's taking an incredibly long time to map out.

so. was very very brave five minutes ago. told the other cousin and the other cousin's wife about the NBC (potential) project. wife already knew, having discussed it, apparently, with nephew of the damned. other cousin did not know, said, go for it, work your freaky self.

there are times I adore him.

that's happened twice this week, btw--the other time was during the watching of a gay film, wherein said nephew was audibly gagging and threatening bodily harm to the actors, and at one point stated that all gays should be rounded up and packed into a small little garage at the top of some mountain, and then, if we didn't go back and feed 'em before they died, oh well. other cousin said calmly, "Yeah, the Nazis would have loved your attitude, there."

hee.

got second letter from NBC people, btw. answered it. waiting for reply. will this happen? no clue. still interesting, though.

I just got off the phone with the fellow from NBC. since I haven't mentioned anything about this to anyone but sphynxcatvp, yet, this is the rundown.

* he's glad I called, he said he was better on the phone. (then spent most of the entire call angling for more names for the project.)

* he thinks it's going to be a split history-of-vampires thing, followed by what-vampires-do-now piece. he's heard so many different terms for what we do that his head is reeling, but he's thinking he's going to concentrate on sangs (blooddrinkers), psy vamps (energy drainers), and lifestylers (people who just like to play with blood 'cos it's a cool fluid).

* he's gotten me tentatively to agree to being on film, backlit so my face is obscured; semi-anonymous--in other words, I'd be introduced as emilly but my face would not be seen, only my voice heard. (still kind of a scary prospect)

don't know about this, really, really don't know. apparently, he's meeting with someone else I know later this week, and after that meet, he's hoping to know more about who we are, and what we do.

ooof. big deal. how the hell did I get involved with NBC? this is huge.

just to get us to the end of december, and then I'm giving up. I've edited a bit from the beginning of 2003, but somehow neglected the last two months of '02. oh, well.

and that's it for december. more later when I remember to check in again. :)

these are mostly here until I can put them up on the page. sunscreen page needs a reformat anyway.

haven't updated for a while. been more than distracted with other things.

this though, is guaranteed to add a sharp edge to your evening. :)

(it's long, can't remember how long, over 30 mb, I know...fanvid set to 'biting' scenes from Forever Knight, and Duran Duran's song, "Hungry Like the Wolf". whee.)
