A creative mind set free

I'm from the school of thought that says, if an idea occurs to you for something that is truly weird then you must share it with the world.

I'm part of a fan base of a web series of superhero stories, where there are fan fictions posted on a regular basis. I've actually written one about a guy who works in the mall because he did want to and wasn't suited to being a super hero. But a recent topic concerning ... well I guess I'll just have to say it... sigh, Runcible spoons, has come up. And somewhere along the way I devised a super hero in training called Runcible. At first it was just supposed to be a smart alek bit.

But the character has grown a bit from there and while it will have its fair share of absurdity it will also be a well developed and intricate character.

I'm going to switch topics rather abruptly here so hang on. I found a card model (paper craft) human figure that might just work for my action figure goal on my master list of projects and so I'm happy I might actually get that one done.

On the other hand almost all the growing plants I was in the process of making bonsai from shriveled and died the other day. The cold of my living space and the poor light conditions are to blame for some of it.

They thrived out of doors during the summer. I'm bummed about that but I can technically call it an achieved goal for the fact that I grew them from seed and did in fact shape them. I'm still hoping one or two will pull through. Sigh I stink at plants.

Tomorrow I'm off to a friend’s house to watch a movie and play a game, and he has offered me some venison. I'm going to do it because I don't believe I've ever had it and I should be able to say I at least tried it.

I've never mentioned it here before but aside from health related dietary restrictions (actually rather severe, but not relevant in this post) I also have for many year made it a practice to never eat any mammals. It's just a personal preference, but I will make an exception in this case I guess.

Yeah maybe sometime I'll explain the intricate world of what can be eaten by myself, and what I do eat, and things I'd like to try, and foods I miss.

Oh I almost forgot, I spent some time attending a discussion earlier today by some big names in the local banking and real-estate industries discussing the state of the economy and what it all means.

A topic of some interest to me, as I am sure it's of some to you as well right now. And while it was interesting there wasn't a whole lot of new info put forth. But all in all I'm glad I went. It just reaffirms my need to get some things in order now so that I can act on some of this. Otherwise I will likely regret it in the future.

That's a good place to leave it today. I think sometime this weekend or by Monday night at the latest I'll be back with a bit more to discuss, but more detail and maybe a bit less all over the board.

Til then Take care of yourselves.
