Checked my e-mail today, for the hell of it more than anything really. I mean, with half the internet inaccessible, nationwide communication slowed to a snail's pace, and my luck being what it is it'd be an exercise in futility. But the need for information sometimes overrides reason.
So imagine my surprise to find an e-mail from Andy, dated a couple of days ago.
Basically, he explained how he'd noticed that he was still getting e-mails from friends located relatively near him. Why and how geography should interfere with e-mail was beyond him (and me for that matter, but this is more his line of expertise), but he was working on it in his off-time.
"It just feels wrong, man."
But in the meantime, how was I doing, had I found a job, did I need a place to crash, or maybe a large cardboard box to borrow?
I wrote him back, thanking him and bragging about my position. Then,
Sending...
Sending...
Sending...
(about now I'm ready to accept it was a fluke, or maybe a letter that snuck through during the short uptime from before)
Sending...
Sending...
Sent.
Wait what?
Took forever, but eventually got the Sent! confirmation. Maybe all that talk about working to restore the network was more than the usual empty government promises?
Anyway.
We're almost finished with the guns-for-food project. I'll detail more about it tomorrow. We've got a 30-second public service tv ad and radio ad (I wrote the scripts, they are awesome and informative and perfect). Elle's putting the finishing touches on the print ad. Tomorrow, provided everything passes Cam's approval, Chris will do the voiceovers and we'll ship everything out. Our ads will run throughout the city, and depending on how effective they are, could be shown to a wider region.
Guess it's a bit ambitious to shoot for creating the state's official campaign on my first project, but no point in aiming low, yah?

Still with me? Great. Things'll be picking up some more soon.
I've been biding my time a bit with progressing the story, mostly so I can give it the attention it deserves. Like I said, I'm about to get a bit more rhythm and a bit less chaos in my life, which will give me ample time to flesh this out the way it needs.
Hope you enjoy!
I always think of Raleigh when i read, but I suppose it's just some middling city somewhere within a reasonable driving distance of Atlanta.
On that note, I generally think of Boone, NC. A busy college town surrounded by absolutely nothing. Probably because of the alienation idea.
