Ch-ch-ch-changes
I'm considering switching to WordPress, and also buying some hosting to craft a real website. Any thoughts or recommendations from the cloud?

Frustrations
Apologies to everyone bothered with a LinkedIn invitation. It automatically sent out invitations to everyone in my Gmail inbox when I set up my account. I don't know why, I don't know how to fix it.

Keeping Things Real
Here's my latest Elephant Words story.
As always, please rate and comment honestly. I like this quite a bit more than last week's post.
Last week's post, which you can view in my archives on Elephant Words, or by clicking here, felt, to me, like it suffered from being a student film.
The problem with student films is they are often short, and when one wants to make a comedy, one often ends up telling a joke with a punchline, rather than having an actual story where the comedy comes naturally from the characters and their actions (as well as delightful window dressing). So it felt like a set-up and a punchline to me. I enjoyed the first story I did there, because it was a pulp sci-fi piece masquerading as a love story/relationship deconstruction. This one is probably the one I'm most proud of so far, though there's at least three weeks left (and hopefully more!).
Tomorrow is a meeting with my artist for our first comic project, and I'm really excited about this one. It's going to showcase a lot of old Pittsburgh, which I think is pretty cool.

Mmmm... Copyright violation
This'll probably get yanked by tomorrow for its choice of music, but hey, it's upsetting anyhow:

Free Art? Don't Mind If I Do!
Because I am full of love, and know you may not all have the chance to see my pieces the day they're posted (at www.elephantwords.co.uk), here's a permalink for my first Elephant Words piece. It doesn't go live until 11:59 GMT on 9/11. If there are any problems, let me know. Also, please tell me what you think, both here, and on the Elephant Words site, and don't forget to rate the story. I hope you enjoy it!
My mother is in town this week, and already my food intake has increased dramatically in both quantity and quality.

Recent Developments
Just to let you all know:
I'm now a contributing writer at Elephant Words for at least the next six weeks. I'll be posting permalinks to each piece that goes up, since the design of the site is that only the most recent posting is visible, but I encourage you to check it out daily and read the other pieces.
My first piece goes live Thursday.

Pleasant Surprises
This series debuted tonight.
And is shockingly good.
I probably won't catch another episode until it's on DVD, but way to go TNT, you're definitely making a comeback from the likes of having BLADE and BLACK SCORPION as original series.

Strange Rejections
The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival said no.
To The Black Circle.
Which baffles me.
I intend to be very depressed and angry for several days, followed by a period of intense creativity and productivity.
