We forgot to catch up the birds for the fair last night. It is much much much (did I mention MUCH?) easier to catch the birds at night.

So this AM was bird wrangling. When I caught goose #2 someone snidely asked me:
"Is that proper Goose holding technique?"
So, I swapped mostly calm Goose to "proper technique" where in he squaked, struggled and tried to nip me.
Having demonstrated that the geese seem to appreciate MY uneducated technique much better that the "approved" method .....

Wish us luck this afternoon as we learn all about bathing these birds.

Hello. I don't use LJ much at all, but saw this spotlight and joined. I'm creative mostly in the form of writing and conceptualizing. When I was young (24 now) I found a website called CASO (create a story online) that eventually shut down but I had a lot of fun with it. People provided segments of various lengths and the community 'collaborated' on them. It worked for fun and exercise but you could probably find people to work with that way, as well as develop concepts. I'm asking if anyone knows of websites like that. Due to my spontaneity I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to something full length for the purpose of publication, but if I find someone I enjoy writing with for it's own sake, that might change.

I'm really pleased with the success of this photo project the Hive. Trendhunter Magazine did a bit on it:



and not to be beat, Not Couture did also:



And I have two interviews about it this week, which reminds me, if you write for your local newspaper, or Gothic Beauty or Time you should do a story on the Hive, or the Big Book of Who Killed Amanda Palmer. Drop me a line.

Have an awesome day.

Here's an interesting use of tweening: take 5 fossil skulls, use the computer to interpolate between them, and animate the results. 3.5 million years just fly by in 5 minutes.

(The sound track is a bit superfluous though—turn the sound down if you're at work)

Hello,

 While I usually do commission work, I'm willing to do collaborations as long as there's a serious commitment to see them in print -submissions to publishers etc.- or otherwise make a profit. ( I may make exceptions if I like the subject a lot or I want to practise that specific genre or style)

 Let me know what you think.

Help meeee
I'm growing my hair out and it is disgusssting.
Any suggestions?

I'd like to get it long enough so that I can have straight across bangs and not awkward hair around them. I want to do this blonde: It prettty close to my natural color.



Heres me:
Ignore the 2AM death look.

It's so floppy and boring and I have to straighten it otherwise its all poofy and awkward which is not helping the growth process! Any help is super appreciated!

My name Is Rachel and I'm just looking for someone with some (hopefully) knowledge/experience with writing. I would love to have someone read and critic my writings and I'd like to do the same for someone else. I'm fairly young, I mostly write fantasy short stories, I do some poems but I'm trying to focus on stories and hopefully evolving to different forms of screenplays and longer novels. I'd like to do this over email, please comment if interested, I wouldn't mind doing this with several people. Thanks!
