Aeronautic Primates and Other Delights

So much stuff going on. Some of it I can control, some of it I can control but don't seem to have any desire to do so, and some of it is out of my hands.

Credits Addict: ( This bit is boring )

Book: Based on a promise that kenobi  extracted from me -- crafty lady -- this year I'm properly starting work on some sort of horror film related book. It was meant to be a book on comedic represenations of cannibalism in film, but it turns out that another author is working along similar enough lines that I need a new idea. I'm still pondering.

Web Design: Designing a website for Dad right now. It's... going.

Work: Busy.

Phoenix Comicon: Not quite sure what's going on here, because the coordinator in question is clearly very busy, but I'm fairly certain I'm doing a panel on classic horror there in a few weeks.

Fun: I do have time for that. And it's been awesome.

Anyway, in the next week or so, keep your eyes peeled for my annual "A Great Many Things I'd Like To Do This Year" list. And of course, next month we'll have my annual birthday mix CD and Top 25 films list.

Quick update on the me:

* I think I blew it with the girl I've been chatting with online. I was feeling bold and said something really idiotically cheesy. Suddenly she had to go clean her room. It sucks, but at least I learned something.

* Still insanely productive, although I've been kind of stuck on my review of Lucio Fulci's A Lizard in a Woman's Skin for the past few days. This wouldn't be so bad, except it's a review I need to get done for Classic-Horror's October review-a-palooza. If you see a post here in the next few days with me just randomly riffing on the film, it's so I can get my thoughts together and find an angle.

* Speaking of the review-a-palooza, we have over half of the month's reviews turned in already, at least in first draft mode. About a third are done and ready to go.

* Just found out that the screener for Warner's Twisted Terror collection, which I'd given up on, may (but still may not) be coming in the next few weeks. That should be interesting to take care of in the middle of everything else.

* I'd say I'm looking forward to the new TV season, but I've given up on appointment television. I settle for appointment seasonal box sets at this point, unless it's Doctor Who. I gotta have that crack in my system as soon as it's on the streets.

ETA: Nearly forgot. I hereby publicly apologize for midnightfae for making her suffer through Wes Craven's shit TV Movie Summer of Fear for the sake of the website.
