After the journey...

We had a marvelous time on our March 7th journey, we were in the Outlands for an incredible amount of time and Roy kept going at Old Sparky with Jackie and Shanoxilt for hours, it was just fantastic. It was a great way to celebrate getting over our burnout, and we are indeed over it. Ling is planning some new work after ages, I mean hand-drawn art! She, Roy and some of the others have been learning some of the art apps we've had for a long time, GIMP, PhotoScape, PaintStar, they're just fabulous once you get the hang of them. We've even been using Windows Paint in ways we haven't tried before.

The most important thing we came back with was an earth-shattering announcment by Dioth and that was that we had begun the reversal of the amount of fear in the world. Right now for you mortal folks fear is the dominant theme, but we seem to have changed something according to Big D. He said that "fear is the natural backdrop against which love might shine." Or something similar.

New music and maybe a new us

I can never remember from board to board, text-editor to text-editor how the fonts look so I'm just goin with the flow today. I must say it is good to be out of the cloud of burnout, I'm making music with Roy starting today. It's a new project and it's for somebody - can't say who - ha-haaa! - but it's a lot of fun, we actually dragged Irlene back up here to listen to one piece to see if she thought it related to dolphins in any way and she said, "Nawp, but it sher done sound like water music t'me!" so Roy promptly named it "Share Water With Me." Anybody who knows how atonal our music can get, well, sur-PRIZE! this is different. I'm listening to it now, as a matter of fact, we did four songs in like two hours with Audacity - from scratch, mind you - and they're....just fun to listen to! We'd be making some more but SOMEBODY wants to take a break. I think I'll let him! :)
