Once again: dinner break.

Much, much better--coughing a little, but I seem to have dodged the Endless Cough entirely (knock on wood). Still kind of weak and easily tired, and the damage is basically done: I lost nearly a week of work time right before deadline. Not entirely, because I was definitely at my desk for most of it, but... it's not really quality time when mucus is your copilot.

Gladiator is so very nearly done, but I'm stalling on a few scenes near the end--I always do this, dammit--and so I'm moving on for the moment. Maybe inspiration'll come to me in my sleep, I don't know. Still, it's just as unfinished if I work on something else or not, so I might as well be productive. I'm looking over my notes and drafts, though, and I don't know whether to work on Independence Day or Spider-Man next.

Independence Day! Cigars, Will Smith, Bill Pullman, cheesey snark everywhere. Good times.

And I see from your music that you've hit audiography, haven't you? Good song.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've had this mp3 a while, but yeah, I was just by downloading something else. Maybe that was what prompted it. : )

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, at least. Mucus is one of the lead causes of creativity loss. Unfortunately, the Cough of Doom has decided to set in with me today. Too bad I'm supposed to sing tomorrow.

I hope you feel even better very soon!!! <3

*waves shyly* First time commentor, here. Love your parodies.

I say Independence Day, especially if you snark on Will Smith a bit.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awww, hi!

I'm thinking I may do Independence Day too, if only because I'm plotting a slightly different format that might make a quicker--and funnier--job of it.

[thunderphoenix.livejournal.com]

I'd take either of them, but then, that the stupid 18-32 male(TM) in me talking.

Independence day will probaby be both easier and more fun. I'm just imagining making things up for the aliens to say, for example.

If you're feeling the need for an easy and fun one, then, I'd say go ID4. Otherwise, Spidey, and save ID4 for after something really difficult.

[genesisdesire.livejournal.com]

I vote Spidey, because you sound like you need something short, sweet, and simple but rediculously easy and fun to mock. God knows how much I've MST3K'd those movies.

I think reading your LJ has made my body think that I am sick. Which I now am. Thanks alot, Cleo.

If you say 'phlegm' it sounds even yuckier.

Which is why I could never eat at the local Fleming's Diner. Best wishes for a full recovery!

That's the best song on that CD, IMHO. The bodhran makes me think of feet running through the forest (attached to the proper number of people, naturally--just feet would be really strange), so I have to get up and dance around for a bit. Great energy booster for me; here's hoping it works for you.

Feel better! Feel better! :)

Independance Day. It practically parodies itself.

[pistolharris.livejournal.com]

*cries* What's with the Independence Day-bashing? I loved that movie!
...
*crickets chirping*
I'm gonna head out before the angry mobs arrive.

Oh, and when the book comes out, is it going to be available in Britain?

[thunderphoenix.livejournal.com]

Hey, I did, too!

Yikes

[regina-falangee.livejournal.com]

Please don't think me stalker-some, but I looked back at your journal, and you've been sick for a really long time. That is worrisome. Sorry, but people being sick and still trying to cohabitate in society makes me sad. On a brighter note, the icons are supergreat, as is your m15m work. Maybe a pep talk helps? I don't know.

Re: Yikes

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Really? I think I've only had this particular cold since last Tuesday or so. It seems to have whipped through my system pretty quickly--we went all the way from "coming down with the sniffles" to "almost completely over the cough" in seven days. Granted, my constant mucus reports may make it sound like it's been longer. ; )

Sorry, but people being sick and still trying to cohabitate in society makes me sad.

Well, I stayed home from class when I could and kept to my room as much as possible. And then I broke out the antibacterial hand gel. I did what I could.

[havocs-roman.livejournal.com]

Glad you're feeling better now - though you seem to have tossed the Cough of Doom this side of the pond. More specifically... *coughs heavily*

I'm highly biased towards Spidey because, well, it *is* an infinitely better movie, isn't it? On a more selfless note, why not save ID4 for when you *really* need something easier, as suggested above?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Because I have about (checks watch) four days to finish the whole lot. There's not much of a "saving it for later" thing going on here.

(Yikes! Sorry about that cough. Get some zinc tablets, that seems to have helped me a lot.)

[(Anonymous)]

Glad to hear that you're doing better.

I can't wait! Every time I see the Lucillaaaa!icon I crack up!

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Glad things are looking up. When I have too much mucus, I just say to myself, "Snot my fault."

(I sent you another email just now. Are you getting mine? I sent you a response to the 'test' email from Saturday.)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'm answering it as we speak. Write. Something.

[illmantrim.livejournal.com]

Hope you keep on feeling better!

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

when mucus is your copilot.

Oh, the mental image!

Do Spiderman. More fun to watch. Slightly less gross (and mucus-resembling).

[edda.livejournal.com]

My continued wishes for your recovery.

And you realize I now picture you as your icon, wandering around in a toga looking anxious and hacking into Kleenex.

[adoresixtyfour.livejournal.com]

Glad you're feeling better! Would lovelovelove to see "Independence Day in 15 Minutes"...but let's face it: I'd love to see ANY "Movie in 15 Minutes" by Cleo. 'Cause you rock like that.

[starlights-1.livejournal.com]

I hope you feel better!

Finish Gladiator! You can do it!

I was going to say to go onto ID4 next, because it's so outrageous and overdone, but I would go with Spidey because deep down I think it's way more cheesy.

[inuit3877.livejournal.com]

I'm incredibly biased, but if I were to vote on a favorite I'd have to put my mark next to Spider-Man.

Ize in drooling comic book geek mode.

[elbales]

Are ID4 and Spidey the only ones left? (Is that a horrible question?)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

...No. All the rest are at least partially written, though. In the case of LOTR, I've got something like 60 pages. Sometimes the hardest part of writing these is keeping it short (and actually funny) instead of just going on and on about what actually happens.

[trailer-spot.livejournal.com]

Just a quick question. I've sent you yesterday morning an email to your address 'at_dailydigest'. Although I'm quite confident that sooner or later all emails reach you, I nevertheless wanted to make sure that you've got it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, shit, did I not reply to that? I've been awful about my email the last two or three weeks, what with the book and all. But yeah, I did get it.

[yarha.livejournal.com]

You should preserve your mucus just in case you become famous (or more famous than you already are).

Just think! Future visitors to a museum will exclaim, "Look, it's Cleolinda's snot! The snot of greatness! We don't get snot like that these days. 'Oh woes' for the deteriorating condition of man."

And..um..whatnot. You know? Mebbe not.

Or you could clone yourself from it to write faster! Hm..wouldn't happen, 'cause you'd probably just end up taking turns with yourself at your computer.
