Wherein I am already late and a thick fog of capitalism descends upon the land.
Just under the wire with this one - writing from a hotel in Anaheim. My good friend Matthew is down here at a voice actor's conference (who knew they had conferences... but doesn't it sound like fun?) and has roped me into Disneyland. I've evaded it for twenty-two years, but to be honest I'm a little excited for tomorrow. It's all a bit 'the lady doth protest', especially after Matthew extracted a promise from me that I would not say anything that could be termed snarky while inside park bounds - he thinks I have some sort of inner child that requires release. As I generally rely on my snark to protect me from the reality of any given situation, I am understandably nervous.
In unrelated news: man, Union Station is really really and truly a beautiful building.
Notes from a beige bedspread.
I think I will resurrect the ITSO tomorrow. It was an old writing exercise I used to assign myself to practice pastiche, with ITSO standing both for 'in the style of' and inspiring hope that a reader would say "it's so [writer you were emulating]." I always secretly wished a teacher would assign it as a project and I would have tons of experience and kill it, but no such thing ever occurred. Life is bleak.
