Still alive, and unable to sleep.

If it weren't for the tracking on LJ's "Recent Comments" page, I wouldn't have realized that it's been over a week since I've posted to LJ. Well, to thehefner, at least.

I've posted a couple times to about_faces, including my epic and long-in-the-works look at the very first Two-Face story, the Harvey Kent trilogy, complete with assloads of scans. I was actually amazed, upon revisiting the story, just how powerful and compelling it was for a Golden Age Batman comic:







Of course, the downside to doing posts like this is that it's hard getting people to care. But then, that's to be expected.

I knew doing about_faces would be a labor of love, and I always wondered how long it would take before I'd get too depressed by everyone else's lack of interest to keep going on. But I've learned that as long as I get at least one good, insightful comment per entry, that's enough to make me feel like I haven't wasted the hours scanning, cropping, researching, writing, and geeking out for each entry.

It's a good thing, too, because now that I finally have the free time between now and Wilmington Fringe at the very end of September (only a two-and-a-half hour drive from DC, my DC peeps!), all I wanna do is write Two-Face geekery stuff for about_faces. Actual creative writing for fiction and shows can come later. For now, just pure geek-joy spewing, that's all I want!

But who knows how much of even that I'll be able to muster. Maybe the very best thing to do is rest up, relax, and recharge by reading a ton, watching movies, and replenishing the well after the utter madness that was putting together THE ROAD TO NOWHERE. Hell, with Wilmington coming up, we'll have to go right back, to implement whatever changes we've learned from Indy to work them into our three-day weekend performance for the Delawarians.





Argh, I shouldn't be trying to think about such things at nearly 4:00am. I can't sleep. But then again, I don't really wanna read the ADVENUTRES OF FORD FAIRLANE prequel comic from 1990 (one of several dozen dollar bin finds I've acquired recently) either.





Yes, this monstrosity actually exists. And it's mind, all mine, ahahahaha.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll actually post something thoughtful or interesting about our Indy adventure. Or maybe I'll just copy-paste bits of bitemetechie's recounts.

By the way, I'm not sure I have any reason to NOT want to be cross-posted to Twitter or Facebook or anything. Well, with about_faces, at least. I'd like more attention there. But if everyone's feverishly against it, perhaps I should be wary as well. More to ponder after sleepy sleep time comes.



EDIT: ... aaaaaand I instantly received a ping-bot notification that "thehefner" references about_faces. Huh. That's unsettling and new.
