a decent stop and a good start

Yknow, it feels good to be working on Chapter 9. With all of the other things i’ve been working on since i finished Chapter 8, it’s given me a lot of time to put my thoughts together about where MT is going from here, and i feel pretty good about it. I kinda wish the Omake was only 4 pages so that i could have started a few weeks ago, but i also feel that it’s really not fair to start something and not really finish it (like i have with previous omakes). Sarah and i still want to work a bit on the Seraphim Check, some of the lines need some work, but i’ve put that aside to work on the start of chapter 9 (I’ll put up a placeholder and post the Seraphim Check when we are ready with it 
Had my first public signing in a long time yesterday at Wizzywigs, and it was actually a lot of fun. It’s not like big conventions where there is nothing but a huge line of people that you have to rush through as quickly as possible, i was able to go at a more measured pace. It was nice being able to talk to MT readers again, and was able to talk to a number of people i know and have seen come by before. It was also good seeing Jerry and Caroline, as well as Rikki and Tavisha, and even Robert and Emily Dejesus came up to visit It was fun to sit back, enjoy dinner, and talk a lot of smack about the industry we somehow managed to find ourselves embroiled in.
With the start of Chapter 9 there are a lot of things that i’m going to be trying to do differently. One of those things is to rant and blog more. It’s all part of the tightening up of focus that i need to do in order to roll out this new phase of Megatokyo that i’m really keen to make happen. It’s a goal, of course, which means that i might not be able to really do it, but i’m working on it
Random linkage and news… a few weeks ago i faxed in a release to the company that is producing the british TV show ‘The I.T. Crowd’ to be able to use a copy of MT Volume 4 as a prop on the set of the 2nd season. So, if you live over in the UK and end up watching the 2nd season, look for it. Oh, it’s not the first release i’ve ever signed, btw. There was an american movie that i signed a release for to have some MT stuff in the background, but when the movie came out i didn’t see any MT items so i never pointed people to it No, i’m not going to tell you which movie because it really… wasn’t that good (yes, it was released in theaters and is now out on DVD.)
Also, in case you were wondering, fanboys really do stuff like this. I don’t make it all up. And here’s another one. Shesh, control yourself people.
Oh, if you are into ambient at all, be sure to check out Sundummy. The title of the track i’m listening to right now is just too awesome 
now back to work on Chapter 9, episode 1
