Script Frenzy is over, and I didn’t write the 100 pages. I made it to 38 pages on the 13th, then looked at what I had, and spent a day or two thinking about what to do. On the one hand, continuing was very much possible, and the 100 pages were within reach. On the other, my antagonist was by far the most interesting person in the story, quite contrary to my protagonist, who was somewhat passive in the whole thing…

By now, that’s almost habitual for me…

So I made the decision to halt the endeavour, and re-outline the story. And that’s where I am now.

The only thing standing between me and a finished outline is thus, GTA…

DAMN YOU GRAND THEFT AUTO!

I’m not even kidding. That game is seriously addictive.

Meanwhile, I also had my 30th birthday, for which I gifted myself a 50mm f/1.4 Sony lens, which I eagerly took for a spin around sunset today:

The depth of field on that thing is like having sex with light…

To the people whom I told the story to on friday, consider this an errata, with a complete technical rundown.

Oh dear Yod. Space Shuttle Buran.

Two entire days, comprising around 3-400 photos from New York were crunched by iPhoto. The thumbnails are recoverable, but despite being listed properly, sizes and everything, they’re all corrupted.

Help?

More: I’m using iPhoto ’08, and it is the JPG’s themselves, inside the iPhoto Lbrary package that are broken.

Solution: Exif Untrasher helped me recover the deleted files off of the memory card, getting me back one of the two lost days.

Send more money. Plz.
