0030 - The Account, Pt. 1
Added 2023-11-24 18:00:09 +0000 UTCIn which Téodor — incorrectly pronounced "TEE-uh-door" by some, but pronounced correctly by others as "TAY-uh-door" — is shown in his element: scrambling to finally get a job on the actual day that rent is due. Never mind that most jobs don't start paying for two weeks.
While we're on the subject of pronunciation, a refresher on the most commonly mispronounced character names:
- Philippe: "f'LEAP," not "fuh-LEAP-pay."
- Emeril LeGoinegasque: "EM-uh-rill," not "em-REE-el." Last name standard pronunciation.
- Ray: THE MIGHTY WALNUT, INFINITY, I LOVE THE HILLS AND THE PONDS (blue strobe light, increasing frequency)
So, I recently said I probably wouldn't start another storyline again so soon. Well, this semi-autobiographical tale has been kicking around in my head for years, and it kept nagging at me, so Oppenheimer Roomba Cinema is going to have to wait a month or so. (The Roomba Cinema in question deals with the telling reality of how a movie about the pinnacle of mankind's self-annihilation placed a distant second in box office response to a movie about some toys that meet Will Ferrell.)
Coming up soon in the In-Universe tier: the first of two childhood holiday stories from Nice Pete, detailing a heart-warming coming of age. Posting 12/1. This announcement does not preclude me from posting other things there before that. Author's Tier will be getting another short story from my current works, and part 3 of the Netflix / Achewood saga.

2023-12-06 22:16:21 +0000 UTCThrilled to see I've been pronouncing Teodor & Emeril correctly. Devastated to find I've been mispronouncing Philippe, and in particular, Ray. How could I have been so illiterate as to omit the blue strobe light of increasing frequency?!

2023-11-26 14:59:37 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, but look at that left-justified, Times-New-Roman, open-a-Google-doc-and-start-typing-ass note. No wonder they need a senior designer.

2023-11-26 14:39:06 +0000 UTCDamn. Tina. Is it possible that this- the “hidden” listing, the quick interview, the empty office- is all a part of a grander ruse to get back with her husky knight?
