I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Got a few more details. Husband starts in two weeks. I will be staying here for some time, and he will be in temporary housing or an apartment or with family.

Oh, that's not good. Someone elsewhere mentioned a Chrome plug in called beeb, I think, which might help. I'm gonna check that out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oof, so still working on this project (Giapetta's Workshop, now Portal Scope) and putting together this last presentation pitch has been pure torture. So hard to work on. Such a difficult collaboration. Three partners and everybody's stretched and stressed to capacity, freaked and frazzled and frustrated. Just tired of each other too, and ready to quit and get the fuck away from this thing.
And I pushed to have the presentation done to new eyes, so we took it to the consulting group we've been working for and had people watch the whole thing. And it worked really well.
And it looks like we're not only getting a return meeting with Marvel, but they're bringing in Disney people too. So we'll have a joint Marvel/Disney pitch.
And while I have not been paid on this for three months (or pulling-my-hair out frustration), it looks like I'm getting a bigger stake in the project because our fourth partner has done none of the work since February.
So. Fingers crossed.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
So we'll have a joint Marvel/Disney pitch.
That seems HUGE. It's huge, right?

The first part is frustrating as hell, but the latter part sounds like it might make up for it eventually.

I'm glad it went well, David. Here's hoping the next pitch does, too.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That sounds like a lot of pressure AND a lot of possibility, David. Best of luck to you with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fingers crossed, David!
