Lost Weekend

I'm sitting here on the couch seeing my weekend ... once again slip away.

My back is out. I am not only tethered on line but to the heating pad. Soooo ... I'm overdue to catch up.

This project has gone one far too long. So long ... even I have lost count. The years and the amount of times I have started from scratch ... yet again. But it's not like I haven't made progress. I actually have a "Dulci-toon" finished ... the problem is that it is not the first one. That one at least the work I had done was all lost as the external hard drive crashed (literally) when it was knocked off the shelf of the coffee table by Fergie, our cat. It is for the best as I will do it better ... but once again I am at square one.

Here is what I have accomplished:

1.) I have created my company banner or titles.

2.) I have created opening titles.

3.) A commercial

4.) End titles

5.) and an ending bumper.

All the above can be re-edited or simply tacked on to new episodes leaving me to just have to work on the content of the cartoon.

6.) I have gotten the help of Stephen Seifert to work on the Old Joe Clark episodes.

7.) I have worked on character designs for the characters Old Joe Clark and Aunt Rhodie.

The real challenge is that I have now developed diabetes and had my thyroid removed. It is imperative for me to loose weight ... so that takes up much of my time. Between that, work , husbandly duties the lawn and practicing my dulcimer and the cigar box guitar and learning new techniques and programs ... there is little time for such a time consuming activity but somehow I find that time.

Oh yeah 3 blogs and a web site ... including this one ... I hope to have time to blog this one too.
