I got back from New York yesterday. My friends and I had a mostly excellent time. I have a lot to say about it, so much that I think it transcends blog form. Ideally I will make a large report in html, complete with photos and comic art and tons of insight, and will be very interesting to read and will be included on my web site that I'm going to make. Ideally, I will do this very soon while the trip is still fresh in my memory. Will I actually do this? Let's hold our breath.
Speaking of: hilariously enough, as soon as I wrote that blog entry about MNIJ2 and how I was actually going to finish it, I stopped working on it. To my credit, though, the next day I planned to work on it but instead made a very beautiful Christmas card; the next few days were Christmas and the next week was New York. So now that I'm back in Iowa, I've completed step 3, a little behind schedule.
A good New Year's Resolution for me would be to try to increase the pace at which I work on things. Let's look at all of the specific projects I'm working on right now, in unspecific order:
-All About Black Holes the graphic novel
-revising Clarinet and Piano piece for Chris
-composing set of piano waltzes
-My Name Is Jake 2 the animated movie
-www.brianlenth.net the new web page
-insightful, illustrated report of NY trip
Those are just the ones I'm remembering off the top of my head. But if I spent half the time working on any of those sorts of things that I normally spend farting around, watching movies, writing blog entries etc., I'd be a paragon of accomplishment.
