I can't help myself when it comes to this geeky crap. I have Movable Type and I'm going to use it! Right now, I'm transferring Ribcage to my server. Rebuilding the entire site in MT and making everything automated. In the past, updating Ribcage has been a huge hassle where I have to update four different pages, just to post a new story. Now, it will be as simple as a blog post. I've also taken this time to go back and remake the image files of the old stories, which were in a different, horribly blurry, bold font that no one could read. Hooray for continuity. This took me forever, but the site should be slick and beautiful and hopefully finished for this Wednesday's story.
So now that this last week's story has settled...
In March... New Puppy Story was written with blatant foreshadowing to this week's story. That their "family is too small" and the quick bond between the little girl and Emily.
In He Who Shall Remain Nameless, "All of Emily's favorite names are locked away, reserved for our future children."
Ribcage Pt. II is obviously when it happened.
Then Needles, This Cardboard Monster and We Can Forget About the Adobe are all the early effects coming on.
I've had this planned for some time and it's been a blast so far... like writing a television drama--spending weeks and weeks to put the pieces into place. Right down to building up their move to Florida, only to come out of left field.
Speaking of Florida, in real life, where real people are certainly NOT pregnant... Elise and I are leaving Connecticut in only three weeks.
This will probably sink in tomorrow, when all of our furniture arrives and I have to cordon off a section of the dining room to stash it until we move. This will be visual proof: our stacks of unassembled furniture.
I myself feel very unassembled at the moment. Living out of boxes for weeks and weeks. Cycling between the same five shirts because I seemed to have packed the rest of my good clothes under sweaters and ten pairs of pants.
Today, we sat around and watched five episodes of The Mole on DVD. The best reality show of all time and they put it on DVD for Elise to experience for the first time. I picked the three disc set up for nine dollars, used and it was money WELL spent.
Though, we need to get out of the house and say our goodbyes to Connecticut. Corinne says she'll give us her tour. She'll take us to thrift store to find interesting dishware from the estates of the dead. And maybe she'll show us her deer. Her dead deer that she found, that she photographs and that she desperately wants the head of. She's awesome.
