l_the_fangirlPic unrelated. Sort of.
Veronica called me. Very nice convo - she's calling me tonight. Hoping to see her in the week she's recovering, it being my spring break and all. I'll see if she can pledge some financial assistance in that: I'm saving up myself.
I do rather like St. Valentine's day (and the story of St. Valentine), so long as you remember not to make it more serious or complicated than it is. Just a day to honor romantic love - not OMG MUST BUY CHOCOLATES AND ROSES AS DRAGONFODDER. I understand the reason why it's such a hated holiday, though - my friend Li-Chi calls it Singles Awareness Day for a reason, and the commercialism made of it makes me gag. But I like the reminder to connect and re-connect the holiday provides.
I now have a writerly urge, and want to do comic book scripts for a lighthearted Action/Romance/Comedy thing I'm calling Neon Veda Bodhisattva, at the mo, because the basic idea in my head was "like Evangelion off crack."
Basically, a super robot thang - aliens go "Umm, something is trying to blow up the Universe, and we both like the Universe - our houses are there. So will you help, humans? We'll give you shiny stuff too." Naturally, with a pitch like that, Earth accepts, and the story follows some college-age Bodhisatava class Mechanized Armor pilots (and thier Mech Cav, Flyboy and civilian friends) off Treasure Island.
Since I'm going to be writing scripts, I need an artist and a colorist... Siobahn, you're up for that latter honor if you want it. Also, I'm not falling into the trip of planning this too far, so I'll improvise, heavily.
May run this as a 3rd Ed BESM game too.
In other news, Dad is going to New Orleans tomorra night on Serious Business. I am envious. Chocolatefrapp, if you can reccommend him a good restaurant, please do.
And how was your St. Vals, everyone?

Fuck Hallmark!
