99 Problems

Or more like 99 passwords. Took me forever to get the exact combo to get back into this thing. My laptop already brings everything up automatically because I'm lazy like that and tell it to keep me signed in and because of the fact that I have 99 different passwords for just about everything under the sun. Sometimes I think I should just keep one central password but no....that's not cool and it's not smart. Plus at work my ten main passwords I am required to change up in some insanely simple variation every three months. Some systems let you cycle through the same trinity but those annoying few remind you that you've had this password or some far too too close variation within the past billion years...okay. Rant over. Hello, World. How are ya?

Ain't It Uncool

Have this compulsion to keep updating Jilly's FB and now the stupid site keeps freezing up and giving off error messages. You have got to be kidding me. Used Picnik and Photobucket to play around with some pictures I took in NYC a few months ago...my work becoming Jillian's artwork. Now if only FB would cooperate. Going to have to call it and get ready for class soon. -_-.

Done and done

Or not quite. With the nature of my project, it's so open-ended that there's no way that I can be done. Only satisfied that I've put in enough work up to this point. For tonight at least. Can't believe the semester is almost over.

Whatchamacallit

Ever had a book or plot on the brain. Something you read forever and a day ago that twitches at the edge of memory. It drops hints, some false and others true. I really love the internet. You can find just about anything and if you don't know or can't remember what it is then somewhere out there someone knows and wants to share. :)

Promises (Work In Progress)

Created a wordpress account just for this work-in-progress and my final project. I've been working for weeks, shuttling back and forth for the three facebook accounts that I created for three of the main characters in Promises; Jillian Guthrie, Vinni Saito, & Lucinda Saito. I've spent more time working and fleshing out Jilly's with the other acting as supporting and bit players but I plan to add even more to these latter two accounts as well. Friend them all and check out my progress and the backstory of Jillian's past.

Jillian G: Begins after she leaves home for college and meets up with her best friend and roommate during freshman year at NYU.

Vinni S: Jillian's roomate. The girls form a tightknit bond that is cemented by the time Promises actually starts up, years later.

Lulu S: Vinni's BTVS/Angel obssessed grandmother who also forms her own bond with budding artist Jillian. The two eventually begin working together on children's books.

Shakepeare's Women

The Many Faces of Willa, it's a play that I created (not actually sat down and wrote) but created for the purposes of Vinni and Jilly's back and forth. Their life as students at NYU. It's a play featuring segments of Shakespearan plays but set in the present and with a modern twist. Something like 10 Things and Leo/Claire's Romeo & Juliet, but not really. Picture Hamlet's Ophelia performing in a burlesque show and you'll get close to what I was thinking of. Jillian's best friend and sidekick, Vinni lands a part in the Tisch production (as Bianca from The Taming of the Shrew). There's crossdressing and murder-for-hire. It's Shakespeare but more.


Jillian, artist that she is, was volunteered by her bestie to work with Set Design and Wardrobe for the costumes, as well as, designing posters to go up around campus. (one pictured above and a second pictured below)

Stop the Presses

Still hammering away at my final project...an exercise in meta. There's so much more to do and I don't think it'll get done by Thursday night. Of course, I have every intention of carrying onward with fleshing out the life and times of Jillian Guthrie before Promises even begins. Before Jilly meets Colin even. At some point, I'll get there. For now, I've been busily working my way through Jilly's personal dialogue with herself and her friends...surfing my way through 1999 and 2000. Wanted to get through those first few years and I will at some point. Very likely not in the next two days, though.
