thinking in only four dimensions (again)

greygirlbeastAnd yesterday that was about the best this sad lump of grey matter in my skull could manage, and it was barely managing that. Puzzling out all the itsy bitsy errors peppering the text of The Dry Salvages because there were initially two mistakes regarding time dilation and intersteller travel that frelled lots of stuff up. Spooky kept me from drifting away and drowning in a puddle of my own stupidity. And now the ms. is 97% corrected. Today, all I have left to do is add a few snippets of text here and there. What began as innocent copyediting (there's an oxymoron) ballooned into a rewrite, and I've apologized to Bill Schafer at Subterranean Press for this. It means that the ms. will have to be laid out a second time. But I am determined to get this right. It's not obsessive perfectionism. It's just me trying to do something better than a half-assed job. Mucho thanks to the amazing Larne "Llar'en" Pekowsky for holding my hand and guiding me through all the Big, Scary Numbers.
Which is all to say that I finally got my eema out of "park" yesterday and worked. If it didn't exactly feel good, at least it felt better than the alternative.
At this point, I believe I am at least three weeks behind.
Was there anything more to yesterday? Not much. We were still working on The Dry Salvages at six p.m. I forgot to work out (though I have managed to lose five pounds since returning from Rhode Island in July, which is a good thing). Spooky talked with Andre at AFX Studios, who plays a big part in making Nar'eth real, and we scheduled my make-up session for 10 a.m. on Sunday, September 5th. It usually takes about four hours, start to finish. And that was all of yesterday that bears (or lions, or tigers) repeating.
I'm thinking my hair may soon be black again. This blonde thing is nice, but it's a hell of a lot of trouble.
For some time now, I've been meaning to write a meme. I've never written a meme before. At least, not to my knowledge. So here goes...

Re: Meme! (aka a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity)
Date: 2004-08-12 04:43 pm (UTC)Sex. Any sort of sex. It doesn't have to have involved penetration (my concept of sex is almost without parameters).
GLADIATOR! ha ha.
Actually, that is one of my fave Scott films.

Setsuled: I've never seen The Fifth Element. And I can't think of many great sf movies from the 90s . . . I liked 12 Monkeys better than Dark City . . . and End of Evangelion, although that was hardly perfect. Maybe I ought to watch Dark City again. For the moment, though; disagree.

4. My favorite film in the Matrix series is:

6. Complete this sentence: "Tofu is [ ]."
Can be a runny, gelatin-like mess or it can be cooked into one of the greatest meals you've ever tasted. The real secret is to bake it for about a half an hour till it turns yellowish, then freeze it for about two weeks. After you thaw it out you'll have a meat-like consistency that's miles away from average tofu. It's best served with bbq sauce mixed with a little peanut butter.
7. My favorite Ridley Scott film is:
Blade Runner. I felt significantly less alone after watching it when I was a kid.
8. My favorite John Carpenter film is:
The Thing. My friend's mother took us to go see it in the theater when we were 11. My friend pissed his pants when the legs popped out of the head and I couldn't sleep at all. I still love it.

15: My favorite H. P. Lovecraft story/novella is:
Music of Erich Zann because I love to make noises.
To let you know, I read Threshold and Low Red Moon will be arriving soon. I thought it was some of the best work I've read and I can't wait to devour you other books. I would see your name back when you shared a site with Faust and Poppy, but I've spent the last few years slaving away to build my recording studio, and never had the time to read or the money to spare. I've since quit my real job and am looking forward to digging into your books. I found your journal after checking out how many people had Kathe Koja listed as an interest on livejournal. I've never understood why so many people hate her. Thank you for making this wretched ball of dirt a better place to exist for the rest of us. Please excuse my bad sentences. I'm a musician, not a wordsmith.

2. My favorite Cure album is:
Wishlish: Haven't really listened to the Cure. Sorry. I like the "It's Friday, and I'm in love" song. I'm a much bigger Prince fan.
3. My favorite David Bowie album is:
Wishlish: Whatever greatest hits album I have lying around.
4. My favorite film in the Matrix series is:

9. I first had sex at age:
Wishlish: Mastrubation- really young. Backseat fooling- 17. Actual penetration- 21. I was raised fun-da-mental-ist, and had planned to save my v until marriage, which didn't end up happening until last year at 32. Glad I didn't wait!

Wishlish: spring
11. The Fifth Element and Dark City were two of the most brilliant sf films of the '90s (agree or disagree):
Wishlish: Haven't seen Dark City. Fifth Element rocks.

Wishlish: Never got into her.
15: My favorite H. P. Lovecraft story/novella is:

Matt Spencer: Dark City, definitely. The Fifth Element ... I don't know about brilliant sci-fi (a genre label that's often applied way too liberally, in my opinion), but it was an EXTREMELY beautiful and joyous fantasy film.
12: Farscape or Stargate: SG-1 (you have to choose one or the other):

PZB: I've only seen the first one. It was OK.
2. My favorite Cure album is:
PZB: The Top, but I don't know if I'll ever listen to it, or any Cure, again. For me, they are a relic of a time I'm glad I lived through but don't want to reexperience, and music tends to make me reexperience things vividly.
3. My favorite David Bowie album is:
PZB: Hunky Dory
4. My favorite film in the Matrix series is:
PZB: I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't seen any of them, even though I wrote a story for their website. (I did read the script of the first one.)
5. My favorite film in the Star Wars series is:
PZB: Star Wars
6. Complete this sentence: "Tofu is [ ]."
An excellent sponge for flavor in the hands of a cook who knows how to use it. Usually it's nasty, but if you ever see pork with tofu and kimchee on the menu in a Korean restaurant, order that shit.

12: Farscape or Stargate: SG-1 (you have to choose one or the other):
PZB: Farscape. I haven't actually seen it, but I figure anything that makes Cait develop an entire alternate persona must be some pretty powerful entertainment.
13: I first had sex with another person at age:
PZB: 17
14: My favorite Kate Bush album is:
PZB: Never could stand her
15: My favorite H. P. Lovecraft story/novella is:

16: Favorite Tim Burton film:
PZB: Oh, jeez, I don't know. Mostly he gets on my nerves. I shouldn't be filling this out if I'm just going to be so poorly informed and hateful, I guess. Mostly I just wanted to say the thing about tofu, which many people don't realize can be something beyond hippie crap.

Date: 2004-08-13 02:53 pm (UTC)1. My favorite film in the Alien series is:
BS: Aliens
2. My favorite Cure album is:
BS: Pornography
3. My favorite David Bowie album is:
BS: So here's where I shock a bunch of people on my friends list. Although I can think of a large number of Bowie songs I really like, I've never actually gotten around to buying any of his albums.
4. My favorite film in the Matrix series is:
BS: The Matrix.
5. My favorite film in the Star Wars series is:
BS: The Empire Strikes Back. Although sadly the foul stench of Lucas' recent work has colored my impression of the first trilogy. I don't know if I'll be able to watch it again any time soon.
6. Complete this sentence: "Tofu is [ ]."
BS: Delicious when prepared well, which it almost never is.
7. My favorite Ridley Scott film is:
BS: Time for another confession — I don't see a lot of movies, and those I do see I don't tend to associate with a particular director, producer, writer, actor, etc the way I associate an album with an artist. I actually had to go to IMDB for a list, and I've seen only a couple of the titles on that list. Of those I have seen, I'd go with Alien.
8. My favorite John Carpenter film is:
BS: Dark Star. But see the preceding note.
9. I first had sex at age:
BS: 13
10. My favorite season is [winter, spring, summer, or fall]:
BS: Fall, with winter a close second. Spring has its charms. But I wouldn't mind never seeing another summer, at least another New York summer.
11. The Fifth Element and Dark City were two of the most brilliant sf films of the '90s (agree or disagree):
BS: Agree (though again I probably only saw 15 or so films throughout the '90s)
12: Farscape or Stargate: SG-1 (you have to choose one or the other):
BS: Farscape. The Showtime seasons of Stargate — before the SciFi channel "retooled it for a younger demographic" — were often quite good, but even at it's best it wasn't close to Farscape's league.
13: I first had sex with another person at age:
BS: 25. Which coincidentally is also the age at which I last had sex with another person.
14: My favorite Kate Bush album is:
BS: The Hounds of Love
15: My favorite H. P. Lovecraft story/novella is:
BS: Hm, tough one. I'll go with "The Dream Quest of Unkown Kadath." Although I'll always have a special place for "Ex Oblivione."
