Most of the action on this millsworks web site is happening over in the Blog section.

Occasionally I post here - usually a short video.

I had intended to do a lot more on these front pages of the site than what has actually been produced. I get busy. I get distracted. I get lazy. Leave me alone.

Threedie Ceegie is one project that has yet to come anywhere near started.

There are lots of others. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. My intentions can only be considered as supremely the best - which assures me a front row seat to the seventh circle. Sort of like the Dante Family Circus. Fits and starts - a bit here and a bit there - stacks of unfinished works hovering ominously over my shoulder.

I have a great poster of a beleagured librarian somewhere that I should attach to this post - but I’m too lazy right now to go take a picture of it. See how that works? I’m writing a post about how I don’t get posts done properly and in the midst of it I don’t even get this post fully done.

Ah well.

Things change.

New works and further attempts at the current batch are nearing completion. I have a regular Thursday gathering of like-minded compatriots which is spurring me to actually engage in — shudder — work. Of course, we meet at Rhino’s so … well … they say lubrication helps wheels turn better … and … oh well … we do have fun.

Egad.

A bit here. A bit there. In time it will all come tumbling out and reveal itself here (and in other web sites) as a growing online oeuvre which has been percolating in my alleged mind over these past seven years. Seven frickin’ years. That’s a long time for some people. My changes come in seven year modules. I’m used to it. Others look at me and shake their heads and wonder aloud: “What the hell are you doing?!”

The answer, of course, is: “Nothing.”

Not much anyway.

Not yet anyway.

But soon - and for the rest of our lives.

Yeah - right - and we’ll always have Paris.

Stay tuned.

Cheers.

This is, at least, an attempt to post something for the online puppetry workshop. More is soon to come.

Cheers.

P.S. I also posted it on MetaCafe. Go watch it there too and vote for it. Tell your friends. Scam your neighbours.

The idea of an online puppetry workshop was promised for last January and I’m only now getting around to actually doing it.

The first video in the series will be posted this week and the intention is to have a new video for each following week. All the details will be laid out in this weeks introductory video post.

I’m looking forward to getting off my butt and making this happen - and I’m looking forward to collaborating with all those who have expressed an interest in participating when we get to shooting with larger groups of people.

I will also be counting on a very vocal presence of online participants, if only to keep me from slacking off.

Cheers.
