Sorry I have been MIA. For the most part my life is in overdrive: I am commissioned to work on a work for childrens songs, I am composing my second film score, and I am engaged.

For the most part my music has kept me VERY busy and my dealings with that have been hard since my main CPU exploded in a powersurge a few weeks ago so my laptop is my only escape. But shit happens and I am slowly dealing with it while I have building plans for a new rig to do far more than my old one could.

I am doing a second film score, yes this rumor shall be confirmed, though I have not seen the footage yet I have recieved character bios for me to read through and then start my motifs from there. I personally most likely will not be actually composing the music for it till mid August since it is still being shot so I sit on my hands in waiting while I work on my other commissions and other works that are awaiting publication through my editor.

M and I have popped and answered the BIG question, which you should know what that is if you keep up with my IM's (whenever I am ACTUALLY on anymore lol, so busy.) We are looking at two wedding ideas since both of our families are VERY different, mine being non-religious and hers being Muslim. So my folks have no problem with a Muslim wedding but my EXTENDED family might. So we are looking at two cerimonies in hopes that these two families don't clash. I am sure my extended family would not cause any problems but they are Catholic and might find a single Muslim wedding to be insulting. I think they are seriously fools for thinking that way but it was M's idea to have two weddings to make sure everyone can go. We have not picked a date yet as we are doing the budget for how much this is gonna cost and who we can pay for travel-wise and who we could ask to come out on their own finances. But this wedding stuff is complicated and so far becoming an enormous amount of work. But I must admit I like doing this because M and I seem to enjoy figuring this out.

Anyway, my life is having its ups and downs right now and I am trying to get it all smoothed out with a clothing iron. My book (the first chapter is available on my DevArt) might be getting published. M's sister is setting me up with a meeting for her husband who publishes (normally) historical poetry and the like but I sent him the book and he is eager to see me about some editorial things and such as well as looking into being added to a book he is going to publish called "American Poetry- Our Artists in Residence" so I might have some added in there. I hope you all are doing well and that things are looking on the brighter side of life. TTYL b^^
