State of the Shad

[shadowtricker]

Ye gods, has it really been precisely one month since I wrote last? I will accept berating in regards to this, particularly since I feel I have little to update with. We went to the state fair, where I purchased some little odds and ends for scrapbooking rather than actual books. I have made a few bookmarks I need to scan and post, but the grey day has rendered me far too lethargic.
I'm playing Aloysius today, and continuing to neglect Thorn. I shall have to send off an e-mail in regards to that Silent Hill plot which never seems to have gotten off the ground. I was truly looking forward to it and have felt adrift with him while waiting. Perhaps I need to throw another character into the Nexus RP, just to re-energize myself about gaming.

Toyed about with the new common knowledge feature on LT, but things were loading slow there. I'll do some more intensive work on it later. Like tagging, I can see this is an easy feature to get lost in and find that hours have passed, everyone else has gone to bed or you're late for something.

I picked up new icons from Morri, he's put up a post with entirely autumn icons, very elegant. It is truly an art form, making these neat compositions in such a small frame, and he is an artist. I adore what I find on jillicons but there seems to be less image manipulation done there.

On a last note, the warm muggy overcast morning has given way to a brief rain, which we were badly in need of. I have not stepped out since but can only hope this has lowered the temperature to more seasonal levels.

Darling? Could you have Rey call me before she leaves for work? I know the phone lines will be tied up till then.

I think Janitor Thorn would be interesting to bring in to the Nexus. I know you've been planning to, one way or another. Elijah could be interesting, too, although people might notice he's loosely based on the guy from the Dead Zone.

I do mean to bring JThorn in, I suppose I've been waiting for the right day or somesuch, which is silly.
I don't think Elijah could manage the Nexus. I do think he's far removed enough from the inspiration to be relatively safe, but I also don't think I could play him true to the way I've shaped him and have him stay sane in a place like that.

Incidentally, I believe Rey's birthday gift just arrived. Scavenge Inc? I don't think that's your costume, is it?

Nope, that's my costume. You can open it if you want.

Black and pink, just like the photograph.

Shall I try it on tonight?

[shadowtricker.livejournal.com]

Oh, do please!

I just bit the bullet and dropped JThorn into Dear_Multiverse...

Write something! Whatever happened to the interest essay thingamajobbers?

[shadowtricker.livejournal.com]

Nothing happened to them, apart from my own lethargy. I do still consider that an ongoing project. I have written something! It's not exactly my best, but when you've a chance do re-read my entry above and give advice...
