In this enchanted mood, thy spirit ebbs away to whence it came; becomes diffused through time and space...

Yeah, the fish book too, apparently. Someone else had it. I couldn't identify and decided to get the stupidist most obvious non-answer.

Thank you. I've been out for a day and a half. And there were ~35 pages. That's a page an hour. You need to shut down the 2nd half of the room and play louder music so no one talks.

*fishy flops on floor in exaustion*

Hey, there's all sorts of crap down here! Bring that goat in here and get her eating!

Tish: what? You want me to go swimming in your coffee?

Oh, not that kind of 'something special' in your coffee...

my mistake.

Here's some Irish Creme... that's my fave... and a little whipped cream (homemade, of course... with a little carmel in it) on top.

Anyone else?

Morning, or afternoon as the case may be........

I'd like some coffee please...

So what was it do you think that put Rian over the edge?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 10:58 am

Love your ever changing avatar, Z... here's yer coffee...

Your guess is as good as mine...

Drink please. Time for my next background check. Not white gloves yet though......

not so much an obsession, just an important activity for one and all...

Ok what kind of work do you do Tisha what show are you putting on the road and what are you doing later * wink*

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 12:45 pm

aaahhhh. that's better.

i am the production manager for a physical theatre school/performing company. i used to act & direct, but then i had kids - can't take off on tour all the time anymore. so i sit at a desk and rent trucks and haggle over technical riders. AND get to go home at about 3 most days and hang out with my kids!

the show is a VERY funny adaptation of Moliere's THE MISER. I don't think I should promote our stuff here, but pm me if you want our website.

and as for later....*winkwink*....what'd ya have in mind???
i'll just be, uhh...er, folding laundry and feeding my kids...

what about you, ZG? yer *obviously* familar with animation/graphics, eh?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 12:52 pm

As I've whined to everybody I'm a laid off museum exhibit maker. I'm trying to figure out what I want to now that it looks like I have to grow up. Maybe computer animation is the direction I should go. I don't know realistically how many jobs there are in that field either.

tons

but you might have to move

do you have any chops?

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 12:57 pm

what exactly do you do for mega-corporate-propoganda-land, Stuey? something in the computer arts realm, i imagine, since yer onine all day...

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:02 pm

I'd have to take some classes and work up the chops, I've been primarily working 3-dimensionally. If I had a goal or direction though it would make taking any crappy job that came along, more palatable in the mean time.

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:05 pm

i think yer full o shite. what you do with that avatar is pretty impressive.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:15 pm

Thanks,.. but there is a world of difference between playing at manipulating images with a 5th rate program and doing quality animation. I've played at it enough that I think I could be good at it but I'm a long ways from being a good prospect for anyone to make an offer that would be good enough for me to want to sell my house and move for the job. and it wouldn't have to be all that great an offer.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:18 pm

wow... it's quiet in here...

must be time to get nekked and dance!

That'll get everyone in here...

Who's with me?!

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:22 pm

Well, hello dear!!

Damn - just got all kinds o crowded out there all of a sudden....must be time for afternoon refreshments!! GE's nekkid dancing'll fill the place up right quick!
I'd better line something up ...hmmm...feels like a margarita kind o day to me... maybe some fresh berries. and some good ol' g&t's... maybe a scotch or two... a nice cold case o PBR...
ah. that oughtta do it.

all righty....C'MON IN KIDDIES!!!

Ya know. . . *stops, sips drink* I'm a former collage artist. *pause* Or collage dillatante. I spend a certain amount of time recycling documents. . . some with color photos. Some with "before" and "After" photos--the afterphotos being the same landscape with some cheesey computer generated building inserted discretely into it.* urp * I hate throwing those away. Somebody's got to want them.

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:31 pm

Yeah, I design media for the theme parks. I am surrounded by whirring computers. I often need to kill time while they render out frames of animation. Thus my ability to spend oodles of time here.

Except when I have to go on-site for mock-ups or installations.

Like, shit, right now!

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:37 pm

Stuart
I'm probably the kind of people you work with on those installations, along with developing physical low tech interactives, I work on sets for object theaters and various sorts of shrouds for TVs

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:44 pm

Tish, I'd take a regular marguarita... lots of salt.

So, my lovelies, I'll be heading to diego decom tomorrow.... I should have some pictures to show, hopefully, if I don't have too much fun and forget to get out my camera...

Anyway, I won't see you over the weekend. so, getcher dancin' in now, dammit!

More drinks! More drinks! That'll get them to dance![/i]

allright, allright already....FUCK

*pops a quick shot o cuervo and hands one to Guinevere. Pours gigantic margarita's for herself and GE as she grabs for tisha's hand and yanks her atop the bar. old Violent Femmes is suddenly cranked up and - WOW - those girls can dance!!*

I was trying to look nonchalant, and keep from appreciating Guiniver a little to much.

No such thing. And, now that I've got Tish up here, you can all feel free to let loose with as much appreciating as you can muster!

Wow, tish... you can really move!
