After talking with shimmeringjemmy she’s agreed to let me make an offer.

shimmeringjemmy has made cards (as in gift cards that you send to someone) of some of her art.

If you sponsor me for Blogathon for an amount of $5 or more, we will send you your choice of one of the following pieces of her art on a card.

The cards are 4.25″x5.5″, blank inside, printed on sturdy satin-finish card stock. they come with a mailing envelope.

If you sponsor over $5 you can email me at:
<lordandrei {at} livejournal {dot} com>

Send your choice (or better yet send your choice as the three listed by preference) as well as your mailing address.

If you’ve already sponsored over $5 you can email me.

Limited to availability while supplies last. One per sponsor.

You can still sponsor me throughout the blogathon at:

I looked at the blank page and then promptly got pulled into a conversation with someone that I really needed to be talking to. I had some business to iron out.

So… Still working on something of value. Sadly.. even though I am in this for the long run.. There is life. There is baby changing, shimmeringjemmy relieving, dinner prep… you know.. that whole life thing.

And I do choose to live on occasion 😉

More Whedonesque info from Comic-con

From Joss:

Is up for Big Damned Sequel. They made the Special Edition because people keep buying the DVDs.

Season 8 – When and if is Oz going to come back? Can’t say when, but it’s not a question of “if.” Will happen

90 minute Ripper for BBC. Everybody in the same frame of mind that it should happen and will happen soon. Been talking with Tony Head.

Joss is getting sick and tired of not entertaining us enough, so he wants to do things, like Ripper, that can be done quickly. Lots of creepy things in the back of his brain that he needs to get out.

Franchising is starting to interfere with storytelling. Should be earned, never sought. Universe happens so fast, builds off of the original idea.

Has he ever been approached to do Heroes? It’s something he wants to do, but not something he has time to do. The problem is he can’t do just a little bit of anything. He has so many things that he needs to say next year, that he just can’t risk the time.

Asked to do Numfar’s Dance of Shame. He loves us, but he’s not going to dance. Audience claps rythmically. No, not going to dance for us, it makes him feel like a monkey.

How does he focus? Some days it’s harder than others. He’s also the father of two children now, and unlike every other child he’s ever met, they’re awesome. Wonder Woman was catyclisman. Doesn’t have ADD or Narcolepsy. Has twelve clipboards on his walls with everything he wants to do. Have to keep deadlines and priorities, but follow the muse, and work on the project that’s calling you right then.

Is working on a short ballet starring Summer Glau. Called “The Serving Girl.” Writing music.

Is doing more with Fray. Not sure he was supposed to say that, but “yes.”

When fatigue sets in…

Most of today I have spent on the sofa. This feels incredibly lazy.. but it’s the best way to focus on writing. I want to write more of depth and value.. but I think I dread the time limit. Once I’ve gotten a post out.. I want to walk away (or at least around) for a few to feel less than sedentary.

But by the time I settle down… there’s only about 8-12 minutes left to write a post. An interesting conundrum. So I’m going to let this one post a hair on the early side and then start working on the next one immediately. Hopefully it will be worth the read.

Again.. the amusing bit being that most of the people I know locally are all at ritual camping this week. And if they aren’t.. they probably aren’t typical readers of this journal.

On the downside… either something I ate or something I did has caused my ol’ allergic reaction to pop up on me. My left foot is a touch on the swollen side and it’s slightly painful to walk. Odd timing.

Family status:
shimmeringjemmy is outside watering the ever, front-porch engulfing, garden that she and elocinnuala started. aiden_freeman is along for the ride.

I am still waiting for a replacement battery for my 17″ MacBook Pro from Apple because the old one is…. well expanding. (Wow, this too can happen to you)

And the preheat of the oven for tonight’s Turkey Loaf has just finished getting to optimal temperature… So.. when next we meet.. it will be the halfway point.

Bored yet? Me neither.
