If you didn’t already know, I’m part of the Brutal Rice Productions group. Actually, Brutal Rice is me and Miss Jiwaku. And we’re shooting a film next weekend. Here’s the thing: We’re trying to make an outstanding Korean SF movie. There have been a couple of really good ones — The Host, Save the Green Planet — but… … we want to make Korea’s first really amazing SF film. And for that, we need your help. We need extras of both sexes — male and female — for Sunday, December 2, in Bucheon City. We need as many people as …

You’ll have to forgive me for doing something today that I don’t often do: being (relatively) brief. I’m busy, is why. I am now grading essays from midterms — a few weeks late, I’ll admit — and then I’ll be storyboarding the film we start shooting our next short film project in Bucheon at the end of the month. The tentative plan is to get the thing shot in four long days of hard work, but if it takes an extra weekend, we’ll make it happen. To get that done, we need to be so damned organized you wouldn’t recognize …

It was finished in about 24 hours, that first version of the site, using a clunky-but-passable template, and it served as a place to put data. But we have a lot of projects brewing now, and it can’t hurt to have a snappy website, …

I apologize for the lack of activity here. I have a lot going on, between working on several writing projects (fiction and scripts alike) and trying to get some stuff done around the house. In the process, I’ve let the Blogging Ezra Pound’s Cantos project slide a bit, though I do have a post about a couple of Cantos that is almost ready to post. But in the meantime, I’ll say a bit about the busy weekend. The biggest news is that over the weekend, “The Music of Jo Hyeja” got its World Premiere at the Los Angeles H.P. Lovecraft …

The ether is off somewhere feasting on the original version of this post, which was longer than this one will be. I won’t complain about it, since this very rarely happens to me, and the software I’m using is free, but it does explain why I’m being so terse in this post. (I’m going to just recap the highlights, and be a little more vague about everything,) First of all, I just finished the first draft of my script late Wednesday night (or, if you prefer, extremely early on Thursday morning.) That puts it at six days of drafting, three …
