Dry Ice Factory

I'm still trying to figure out what the relationship is between my LiveJournal and my blog. I thought I might keep posting reviews of new movies here, but now I think I should post them over there just to keep all my film writing in one place. I figure anybody who is interested in my posts about old movies will just read the blog, but if you are only interested in current movies and would like me to post links to reviews of current movies here, let me know.

It isn't all drunken debauchery around here, you know. For the past couple of months I've been working on a travelogue/trip report about my travels in November 2010. I've written close to 13,000 words at this point, and I'm just to the point of leaving Britain. This is already the longest thing I've written since Travels with the Wild Child, which was just over 30,000 words. Of course there's no certainty yet that I'll finish this or that I'll publish it if I do. We'll see how it turns out, if it turns out.

I'm also continuing to work on setting up a blog to use as a repository for my film and early science fiction reviews. I've been reading a WordPress book that holyoutlaw let me borrow, and this weekend I've been trying to settle on a theme (as the visual scheme is called in WordPress). Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. There are some other WordPress features that I want to understand before I start posting. Still, it feels like I'm getting closer.

And now that I've bragged about how productive I've been, I think I'll goof off for the rest of the day. Work has been kind of stressful lately, since I've been delving into a piece of software that I don't understand very well, but last week I made headway on that front too. Progress!
