I am just starting my lateshift, you guys in the UK have all the fun.

18:47 / 18.02.05

LATESHIFT.

Turning......

into

Shifting, anyone?

alas

19:38 / 18.02.05

Hey! This is an early lateshift. Or a late earlyshift--I'm still at work, thinking: wot's all this then?

20:31 / 18.02.05

It's a slow night of writing for me, wondering if anybody sympathised.

Is that a lateshift faux pas?

20:45 / 18.02.05

Oi! Get your faux off my pas. [/farmer giles]

tally ho, Meludreen (And alas, if ze is still around). What are you working on?

20:49 / 18.02.05

The.....dreaded.......screenplay...

shudder

One of the dreaded screenplays...

20:56 / 18.02.05

But that reminds me. When do we see the next batch of Top Trumps?

21:06 / 18.02.05

Oh, when I’ve got a batch together. I’ve done four new ones, but I’ve been kinda waylaid by nasty real world work, and also by drawing proper comicy stuff for someone else, and had a couple of misfires with that. Mainly with drawing what someone else wants, as opposed to whatever I feel like drawing.

Anyway. Is that the screenplay for this thread that you're doing? Or another dreaded screenplay entirely?

21:21 / 18.02.05

No, it's another script. I did a few pages draft for the other thread and passed them back, so we're seeing where that's going.

This screenplay is long-running pet project (one of two feature-length scripts that I bounce back and forth between). I reckon it's a real Barbelith movie, but don't want to get too into it at present. One step at a time. First I finish writing the fucker, then I try and get it made.

I've been thinking of picking the brains of certain 'lithers to help ground some of the characters and situations a little better. I may have to do a round of PM's.

21:34 / 18.02.05

Oh, you have to title each PM ‘braiiinsssss’, man.

I was only looking through the Creation forum a little earlier. Several big-ish collaborative projects in there that actually seem to be happening. Gave me a fuzzy glow inside, it did.

21:43 / 18.02.05

Yeah, and I'll change my ficsuit to Igor before I start.

Creation's been really active recently which is good. I'm getting a positive feeling from this film project, it looks like it could amount to something.
Things seem to be picking back up now that there's a registration scheme on the go and all these things are coming together. Barbelith's not dying, it's just exhaling before the next big breath.

21:46 / 18.02.05

'evening alls!

21:48 / 18.02.05

Captain on deck!

Good evening Keggers. How fares it?

21:58 / 18.02.05

Evening, Keggers.

22:06 / 18.02.05

Right! *Rolls up Sleeves* This shift needs a boot up the arse.

So Bed Head. Comics work? Ooooo. Paid? Professional? Anyone we know? From here? How's it coming along? Can you talk about it? Do you want to? Do you like sandwiches? Do you like me? Really? Just what is your fucking problem anyway?

Jesus!

22:11 / 18.02.05

And dont give us none of that " there are four lights crap!"

22:14 / 18.02.05

Fuckin' A!

22:16 / 18.02.05

Dude, you timed that all wrong. My problem? I’m a tad fluey, a little doped, and yet I’m trying to muster up enough momentum to stagger out the house to partake of some kung-fu films tonight. But no, not really professional; yes, with someone from here, kinda; and no, I’m not going to talk about it. It will be righteous, though.

And yeah, of course I like you. What's not to like?

22:19 / 18.02.05

Oh, you! *Blush*

Just for that, I'm going to let you off on the sandwich question.

22:20 / 18.02.05

Sorry, had a few, haven't read to many of the previous posts. Where are we?

22:21 / 18.02.05

I missed the crucial sandwiches question. I don’t much like sandwiches, as it happens. Bread is for dunking and mopping. Anything else is ridiculous and weird, no matter what it tastes like.

Bread can also be used to rub out penciling mistakes. I think that's just white bread though.
But what about toasties?

As for where we are, Wotton. Same place as always. Bread, plinths, cheese. All is one, baby.

hamburgers are a form of sandwich...how do yiu feel about hamburgers?

As far as I'm aware, the sandwich is a sacred entity across the whole of the western world. In a better world than ours such disrespect would be a capital offence.

And we're fresh out of both frills and plinths. Aside from that all seems to be well.

No sammiches, Bed Head? Whatever do you eat?

22:27 / 18.02.05

Woah! My tactics worked. Four posts in the same minute! This shift has got it goin' on!

22:30 / 18.02.05

Hot diggity damn! Ths is where its AT!

22:32 / 18.02.05

I think I need this plinth thing cleared up. I mean a couple of upright hunks of edam with thinish slice on roquefort laid across the top can approximate a plinth. Does that count?

Damn right!

Sandwiches and hamburgers are both tools of The Man. Ruining the joy of food for everyone. Bread should be torn into rough chunks with your bare hands, not politely sliced and asked what kind of officially-approved filling it might want. Is what I think.

You shouldn't have started me on this. Better to carry on with the plinth-talk.

22:35 / 18.02.05

I feel that the sandwich is natures most perfect food, followed by soup.

OK, soup when I'm lazy and sammiches when I'm driving.

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

22:36 / 18.02.05

We all know the greatest food ever is cheesecake.

22:37 / 18.02.05

Of course, one time when I was on a long car trip, I saw a gas station advertising soup, which I could not figure out how to eat while driving, unless it was put into a blender for a while first.

And then, what would you do with the crackers?

22:38 / 18.02.05

Solitair, you crazy fool! Even the most basic sandwich requires two hands in for its construction. Whilst driving? You'll crash this thread and kill us all.

Get out and let me drive.
